The lord works in mysterious ways - he keeps me laughing in between crying.
I AM continually reminded how I have been helped many times over- I realized a few things yesterday after a Ray of sunshine on what started a grey morning! 
I learned over the years I have met some incredible lawyers  & EVERY time they have helped me & have never charged me.  Once a police officer even went to court to fight for me & won.  I have been protected my whole life.  Thank you Lord.

They all have told me they know/knew I was/am telling the truth and helped - it's been that simple... I guess they should know if they have been living it long enough and they also know when someone is not doing something 'for money'.  Yesterday I ended up speaking to a lawyer (I never met before) all I know is his name was Ray and he was a Ray of fucking sunshine I needed.  He explained a few things & I have heard this before  ONE other time:

No lawyer wants to spend time on your case, although  it's NOT right what you experienced - you were NOT physically hurt (other than a sore breast & slapped on the arm & back) like -I did not lose a limb in a car accident - so WHEN I would win- I'd only get a small amount and it's about $1,500 just to start a file.  A lot of time for little $.      I get it. 
He also understood I don't want any other woman to experience this.

Wow. The other time we heard that was when the genetics specialist at Sick kids told us:
No scientist are going to waste time trying to find a cure for a disease that only a few people have.  Storms illness was/is considered an 'Orphan' disease - very rare.
 'That' back then... felt like a slap. 

MONEY MONEY MONEY...         Good thing I know  God has my back, no deposit required only faith in others and myself needed.  Ray restored my faith in humans. He didn't even know.  He inspired the thank you card... already in the mail.

There's nothing like a kick in the teeth of reality to give me a kick in the ass to make shit happen myself! I realized I am not weak-  (as I felt in that office last week) I am STRONG.

That "technician" I'm confident will definitely THINK the next time she behaves as she did
NEVER LET ANYONE TOUCH you in anyway you feel uncomfortable!  Being smacked on the arm while my breast was in that machine - SHOWED her LACK of control & let me clarify for the record- it wasn't about being 'SMACKED' as I've been smacked, punched slapped, hair pulled, clothes torn and then some my entire life - far worse than what she did to me.  To treat a patient (stranger) as she did while my breast was in that machine - showed her LEVEL of professionalism - Treating a patient who is naked & vulnerable & frightened  with anything other than compassion - speaks volumes about that 'PROFESSIONAL'.  

I was grateful to  Ray ' he calmed me down - explained things as they are, was patient....  after I got off the phone & painted (felt good) I made him a thank you card- as I do. It made me LOL - I guess it is HOW I heal.   I realized when I looked up the address - I just had a conversation about my "fucking boob was in a vice when she lost it!"  with a 'criminal lawyer.'  That made me really  laugh out loud.  Someone who deals with murder... I did think later... I should have punched her - I'd been happy to explain it to a judge.  I could not have reached.. my boob did not stretch that far...  that & she was definitely NOT  worth me hurting my painting hands!
 
I do think Ray thought 'tit was a joke for  a second when I first called him as he asked 'who told you to call me??  (9 a.m.) Another lawyers had given me his #.  I am forever grateful for his brutal reply - it saved me time and energy' then - I knew the exact direction to take and the rest of the day went so smoothly - all I could think:
                                       Thank you again, for answering my prayers.

PLEASE NOTE: I LEARNED these 'PRIVATE places'- when there is an issue - GOOD LUCK!  & Ray told me that too-  it's not like you can even contact anyone - there is NO ONE on the WWW for you to ask for - that alone should be sending up red flags! They have it so it's work just tracking them down,  who has time, energy - or in some cases $ for lawyers.
FROM NOW ON I will have all my tests done at the hospital or with a REGISTERED organization with reputable service & PROFESSIONAL, COMPASSIONATE employees.  

I share this bullshit so YOU Might avoid it- I won't give that bitch another thought, she's not worth it.  Life is too short & I have painting to do- cards to make & smile to produce!! AMEN.

ANYONE who thinks I'm being dramatic - HAVE a STRANGER put your breast/penis in a vice while  you're naked & trapped - alone in a room with a shut door - you can't reach -  then  you are slapped  by them  while they are yelling  their credentials!   Have that happen...
Then let's have this fucking conversation again.   
I bet your perspective changes.

Lesson learned  it will never happen to me again! I go prepared from now on to every appointment & IF I want someone in the room with me - I am getting someone IN the room with me! FUCK that- this system needs FIXED!!!

Wait until you see my Space Monkey that inspired another space monkey - and a space monkey painting! Time to get creative. 

The image below was pulled off of Google with just a couple of complaints I easily found : KESWICK ADVANCED Imaging.  Do not say you have not been warned! I would never recommend any woman go here for a mammogram!  
CLEARLY THERE IS AN issue...   WHY is this person still working there!? I feel sad for the young mom too.  NO, not 'physically hurt -  still  - fucked with mentally BY an angry bitch who takes it out on PATIENTS.

It's not easy being green - but this spring it's easier than ever to grow your own 4 plants. 
Hallelujah! What an enjoyable experience it's going to be for many - from seed to smoke, just the thought makes me smile.  
I can't help be hopeful.. Lord let them drink less.  lol   It's also APRIL soon and that means- more! More locations, more vape clubs, more edibles.. more amazing cannabis products to ease your mind - Pain & more.   I get upset thinking about patients'  sometimes- as I know a few... and now- they have higher prices an although the government provides their *opiates for free - it's still not covering this medicine - and THAT is still a problem.

Right now- it's the first day of Spring and Green is coming- Thank God!  
What 2 better icons to welcome the first day of Spring?  

*** 
On another note, I'm not feeling very happy at all in truth.  
I had the worst mammogram.   I left the office in tears, screaming ask anyone who was there - lots.  Calling the technician: "A Fucking Bitch"   threatening to report her  (I have) & I stand by it.

I have cried constantly & NOT slept one night  since.  I asked God why did this happen!?
It should have been a simple mammogram like the last I had - which was PLEASANT - I even blogged about it!   Why...  because God knows  I will speak UP & should.
& I will make sure  NO OTHER WOMAN EXPERIENCES the nightmare of A fucking simple mammogram that I did!   

I was physically & mentally abused by a technician *while MY breast was LOCKED DOWN*. 

The ONLY reason I did NOT immediately  blog, social media was  because Storm left (the exact time) for Spain & I did not want to upset him,  he was already feeling bad he couldn't drive  me to my appointment.    He has returned safe.​
It has  been difficult to 'FAKE' the past few days but I know he would know something was wrong.  I should have called the police to report abuse - and will consider this today.

It's been almost a week - they have NOT  called to even talk to me about it!  I've called, e mail etc..  & this makes me feel worse - no once cares. WE are just a number to these places - SHEEP to be prodded & poked by people with NO COMPASSION.

Today I AM NOT going to spend the day crying in bed I'm calling my lawyer to get her opinion.  I will add the Breast Screening program of Ontario was very quick to help direct me, as well as the college of Dr.s & nurses & have someone who is helping me with seeing that this woman's actions are REPORTED.

TBH I am seriously struggling with being social at all at the moment - as if I was not already..  and then there's the results I now wait for.   I pray I don't have to take the test over (I certainly do not TRUST her  as a professional - because that is certainly NOT what I  witnessed OR experienced) &  now...
I'M FUCKING TERRIFIED to have another MAMMOGRAM!

​Have you seen BIOLuminescent Mushrooms?
Spring is near..  nature signals: Turn off & Tune in (nothing to do with drugs)  back to dirt..
back to digging.. planting seeds, preparing for tomorrows garden to nourish the mind & soul with much needed fuel.

I will be away from my desk' for a few days - of course I will still be painting
& if you are curious as to what then you'll return eventually  but  'If'  I had to choose:
 I hope you choose to treat yourself to some sunshine, fresh air, birds, music,  playing in the dirt with dogs and  planting seeds too.

Storm called & said he was 'taking me out for lunch on Tuesday' since he was too busy the past week to visit on my birthday  (which I am well aware of - hello cannabis in Canada!)  I thought we were gong to visit our favourite breakfast spot- and perhaps tour around town but I was mistaken.. back to the city we went and to Ripley's Aquarium we went!  *BUT  - lol when we arrived- & were in the lobby waiting to enter - and looked down into the SEA of children- he said: "I'm so sorry mom, I did not know it's March break"  LOL - OMgosh you had no idea!  The children- Cowabunga! Once  in- we were fine- if anything the kids were a constant source of amusement 

Shark! Shark!! Screaming from all directions and you look up and there it is swimming overhead, soon after you hear Stingray! Turtle! Starfish!!   They have made it fun for little humans - there is a tunnel to crawl through as sharks swim around- I could not convince Storm to crawl through - It took no convincing though as he waited to touch the crustacean that looked like a pokeman- back in the day.  We searched high & low to see the octopus in his tank only to realize he was right beside my head on the wall. Best of all I got exactly what I wanted: underwater photos, at one point we were just standing there, no one else and the diver appeared - he waved hello as he fed the Stingray- talk about perfect timing- it was like front row private show - I can hardly contain my new excitement today to get at my canvas!  It did not end there - he then took me to Pusateri's to pick up all the ingredients for an incredible  meal (he cooked) of Oprah chicken & mashed truffle potatoes, arrival salad with strawberries, balsamic vinaigrette, old cheddar- I got to sit at the table and drink, smoke,chat, laugh & chill as he did all the work (just us two) it was perfect.  Gifts too! lol

A new golden Octopus dish to hold todays daily bud- my current FAV #Aloha Storm calls it also grown by him was also a gift - (it's fantastic) and some edibles. looking at it today I smiled- who knew my son would be giving his mom some of the best grown cannabis in Canada for her 55 birthday & she'd be thrilled- who knew?

I see Treating Yourself magazine is back up the WWW. Storms story is available for DL of you have not read it in Issue 29. Along with countless information , read back issues, see many of  my older cartoon & Ivan Arts & more! Check it out...

A thought we had yesterday... & measles.  All it took was one look yesterday (during March break) to understand the importance of having your children vaccinated agains measles.  Vaccines are frightening especially when there are fears of potential issues caused by them- more frightening would be an outbreak of measles and all those children who would become very sick... all it took was the realization yesterday of how fast & serious an outbreak would be.

I hurt 'my jaw' last week - seriously enough I'm having difficulty eating & speaking but you would never know it by the smile on my face yesterday - Storm noticed my a weight loss already & did his best to fatten me up a bit- successfully I might add. My arthritis too has been an issue lately - I am sore today after all that walking - it's time to medicate & get busy painting my new UNDERSEA adventure *there were far too many children to vape yesterday, we did before & after in the parking garage - all was good. Please show respect when children/others are around. 
The photos below - you might not think are great - they are exactly what I was looking for!

10 days and it's official - Spring is here! woot woot! That winter flew bye - the than the COLD I didn't find it that difficult at all! What arrives with the spring? MUSHROOMS - Mushroom hunting season is almost upon us! With Instagram I am continually astonished at the variety of mushrooms I see from all around the world - tiny little aliens all different in shapes, color, size... some edible & some DEADLY.  It's wise to learn the difference! 
Where is the best place to learn IMO... The Mushroom Society of Toronto!  It's where Storm and I started to expand out fungi knowledge- he (of course) surpassed my mushroom knowledge in leaps & bounds and has been the foyer director the past couple years- but he's become busy now and not as involved.  

I was asked if I wanted to draw a cover for the  MST newsletter - Of course!  It was easier than I anticipated- all I had to do was sit and think of past  foray adventures - draw a few details from what I experienced and  the cover was created.  Pondering over it was almost as fun as actually being on a foray! If you want to see the full cover- you can sign up for the newsletter & get your own copy, visit the website & you can download the current newsletter!   Get your baskets ready (I have a new one I've painted) to be astonished by mushrooms!  Just imagining a tasty morel.. get the frying pan ready.  I highly recommend if you want to introduce yourself & FAMILY  (great family activity) the place to start would be the MST.  I'm not sure how much I'll get out this spring- balance issues make for difficult woods walking  but I can hardly contain my painting excitement.

Thank God, Spring is almost here- Ginger is the only beast with cabin fever in this house- she does not even realize summer is on it's way back- I am so excited about my new swimming buddy - I hope she likes the pool, once she see's Scruffy in her boat, Daisy diving...  I'm sure she'll be the first mate!  This reminds me, I've got dogs to paint!  I'm also in the mood for cards... I need to send out some home made cards and spread some TLC.

Here is an interesting read for all  interested in Cannabis in Canada and getting your medicine "covered" ABOUT time. ​https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/workers-compensation-cannabis-guidelines-nova-scotia-1.5048619?cmp=newsletter-news-digests-canada-and-world-morning

Ladies,  about Dirty John... print this card & put it on your fridge as a reminder of what we really need in our lives.  * I've included the downloadable image on the bottom.
What a dirty EVIL nasty parasite, who wants to believe they exist - not me.  They do.
Over 50 - I have several friends who are dating/single and after watching dirty John..
most are getting a new dog or cat  & vibrator - do you wonder why?

I speak from my own online experience this past year that left me stressed, sick, having nightmares & more. I was emailed nude photos, intentionally lied to and mislead for over a year, received phone calls & yes it was the same in many ways- he would say things like: "Why talk about that when I have a sweet little Canadian like you to talk to.."  those where his exact words.  I do remember because I've been married a long time and not heard words like that for a while,  he  was charming, attentive, flattering yet he was telling people at his Greenhouse in  New Mexico  "I was some crazy Canadian Stalker"  who was hideous & he'd never be seen with someone "that looks like THAT.."  as he showed a photo of me off of instagram to his 'lover'.  I have it all in e mail, heard it in person from her & so did others...  direct from the woman he was/is involved with at the time. He once sent an email (I still have it): "Quick, whats the closest airport to you? I'll come & visit" while in transit... I later sent him an email "you had no intentions of visiting, you're just playing mind games - fuck off"...  I  have several e mail where I ask him to stop fucking with me, to stop communicating with me..  he did not instead he played on my emotions and told me how lonely he was,  how sick he was & even sent me a photo of his fathers grave - because  HE understood - I AM a nice, caring person!   

I AM done feeling ashamed about it & I have been.  & let's not forget I'd just had brain surgery (unsuccessful) & HE fucking KNEW it.  His lover said he was stalking' me via my website long before he contacted me - under the premise to purchase art, which he told his staff I had gifted him after watching him on a 'Vice Special'...  phhhhbt.  The special he must have sent me at least 6 messages about, he was so full of himself.   
People did not believe me  when I first  told them what happened  because of  'who' he is'.  
 Pay attention to the news-  it does not matter "WHO" anyone is. 

            THEY ARE ALL capable of being Dirty Fucking Johns.  
                         Comedians, Presidents, Billionaires & Beggars
                               Ladies: BEWARE the DIRTY JOHN.

I do warn my women friends... I won't repeat ALL I was told  - I don't need to because they know - for me to say :'stay away'- STAY AWAY.  He shares naked photos - "of stupid women who send him naked photos in hopes of snagging a millionaire" (her words) with his employees - she told me of a few she's seen. I don't know what's -what - but I do know how I was treated, lied to & have more than enough email (from both) to prove it.  FUCK him - I did nothing wrong but think someone was actually being nice & trusted the nasty American- that's how I feel, sorry.  Even my friend remarked, after speaking to him on the phone (more framed work)  "He's sounds like just another American fucking with a Canadian."  
​I'd never forgive myself if anyone I knew also fell prey to this predator.  
In hindsight I thank my psoriasis & twitch too...  had my confidence been better -  I might have met the SNAKE IN THE GRASS industry. 

Thank you Jesus for your continued protection and reminding me that you know better than I do.  Thankfully for the woman, who I am still  concerned about, it is an abusive situation imo  that she is still in  - I've had nightmares about her...   I might have had a worse situation than I did & thank God, I'm not one for sending naked photos. Did you see how Dirty John sent that naked photos she sent him to her employees? Family & friends.... because that's what nasty fuckers do.
 
YOU can't believe anything anymore - what you see on profiles social media or even after speaking to them..  TAKE your time & get to KNOW them before YOU get involved.  After my lesson - sadly, I've lost trust - I've no interest in meeting anyone ever - this asshole has even frightened me from possible online friendships...  I got my dogs!  Cats &...   :) .

In most cases that daughter in Dirty John would have been dead or she would have been beaten or abused.  I have no desire to date ever again - me wanting away from Norm has never been about that' - but i'd be a liar if I didn't say that loving attention sounded & felt nice.  So, who am I to judge anyone woman who keeps going back to a lying abuser - I get it ladies & I support you. I support her... still.

Several friends (my age & up) this past week told me  "Forget it- who needs it... I'm getting another cat"  this was a card I drew for a girlfriend just incase she is tempted by some Dirty John on  a online dating site.   I'm not saying nice guys/gals don't exist - take your time!
IF they are nice & true & interested in you - they will wait.. you'll know.
Listen to your gut.  Watch for signs, we have all said the same thing... we are very grateful she shared her story and that of her family.  
If you are being abused I hope you can escape your situation.

I'm grateful after watching 'Dirty John', I just have a...  pain in the neck Norm.  lol 
I would like to end by educating you on Sam Fazio - & telling her:
Thank you!  You are a WARRIOR!!  I believe you.   
I am sorry you have to live in a country where WE ARE ALLOWING THIS  behaviour to thrive & that  judge needs to RETIRE!  WTF!?  
Do they not have children? Daughters.
FUCK the judicial system that continue to let this happen.

My bottle of Kracken next- my drunken Octopus. 

Who's ready for summer?? Me!  21 days till spring...
This owl peeking around the corner flys off the page, I love this feathered friend if I do say so! What  a pleasure to paint such delicate plumage - Canadian barn owls this summer flying over  cannabis field in the cool summer evenings - can't wait!

Norm came home and showed me the paper right away (held it up to my nose- yes, he rubbed my nose in it you could say) - "Trudeau's time is up.."  he says and looks at me for a reaction - which made me think two things: ...Norms got a death wish   (lol)        &
Are we encouraging Fake news now,  nasty news?  Phhhhbt....  Man oh man- talk about ship jumpers - JUMP- cause there's just as many sharks in that icy cold water wussy! 'Trudeaus day are numbered' &  my pal Crusty Rusty had to get a jab in too today - called me first thing to ask if I was paying attention to 'my heros happenings' - or something smart ass like that I don't remember his exact words.  My response to them and anyone else... with 'Canadians' like you waiting for him fail - almost encouraging - wow. Are you paying attention to whats happening down south?  Speaking of The USA - Take a look at who' is still calling the shots as of today - wtf? & is still making deals with others. YIKES....
 and hang on - What about those  planes  NOT flying over India this morning?   WTF?  

I'm not blind or ignorant - I have developed a heavenly habit of reading during the day  yes, I do read, it is a luxury many do not realize you have.  Yes, I know it's far from perfect but Please, do not tell me  Justin Trudeau does not care about Canada! ARE you kidding me - Look at his family & look back at your own - I know because of his love for his family he cares for Canada.  
Is that not what does drive us ALL? 

Canada is HIS family & his home - LOOK at this beautiful Country -  Canadians are not leaving, tourism was the best last year it has ever been, do you understand the amount of money that brings. So - No, I'm not happy about any pipelines or political private parties at our expense but I'm not jumping fucking ship.   Ever.  & Change happens.

I believe in those I believe in & thank God, there are still many I do believe in.
You know who you are. I believe in my son & it's funny to me even - but as much as Norm and I  "Arrrrrgh!!!!"  we still have each others back, I have many Americans I feel a bond with & I KNOW you know.. (strange stuff happens) - I had a slight exchange of words with  an American pal   ;) who said "he'd rather his kid be in a room of people with guns than a room full of fat people"  I grabbed my head and sighed in frustration but I get it - I DON'T live there - I don't see it... one month (almost) in California was a different perspective I can assure you.  A reminder of the rest of the world is not doing so great in some places.  If I lived there with obesity getting out of hand and guns - you make choices based on your surroundings I'm not going to judge anyone for their choices - I don't care. AS long as WE don't KILL each other

*My condition has been so aggressive a few days this week - I cannot even pick up a phone,  Nothing touches my face, no make up, no toothbrush - even the pillow - I'm done explaining -  if YOU lived this- your opinion on a few things might change too.  
WHO are you?   WHO do you believe in?  WHOooo do you love?

I believe in me.  I believe Justin is doing what he believes is the best he can do for Canadians.
I believe in many of you.
Thank you for that. xox

I wish this fox could be seen in real life- it POPs off the paper - I'm pleased with how it turned out as I had no intentions of painting a fox when I sat at my desk.  This painting  was started at approx. 6 a.m. and I finished it at  1:30 with only short leg stretches (peanuts in the feeder) and coffee & snacks.. I'm sure since I post them daily people think I 'whip them off' I assure you, that's not the case.  lol  I realize this because Ginger is at that age - "come play with mom!!" & I find it a little annoying when she interrupts me all the time and must remind "US" - spring will be here soon & I can take them outside & let this one run off steam - she's bored & I have NOT walked her once this winter, I  don't go out when there is ice on the sidewalks  with constant balance issues - it's not FUN or worth a broken hip or bone.  Interruptions come in many forms as it is - and I LIMIT them. No e mail, I don't own a phone so no texts  interrupting me, no TV when painting - it's usually music. Canvas - only music.

Why do I try to share daily? To inspire...   keep going. Keep going. KEEP GOING.
& I am grateful that several over the years have e mailed me who read this blog to say just that -  so .. it's the least I can do & the best I can do - too!

Not only will 'you' become better at anything you practice daily but your mind will thank you for it.  Depression is at an all time high across the world - I GET IT. The thing is - I'm not depressed - I feel pretty darn happy most days - other than short bursts of frustration with Norm,  I go around here singing & dancing with my girls in between works of heart.  
All it takes to change this mood is to focus on the 'news for too long... so, I don't.
It's why you see an increase in art...  forcing myself to focus on creation instead of destruction - for that there seems no lack of.  

What will you force yourself to FOCUS on today? A line from "How to change your mind"...  Who controls your cranium!?   Hee hee -  Hopefully you can say: ME! 
Control your cranium! That's exactly what I'm about to do with a cannabis joint before I start this NEW day on a new adventure in painting....  take control of my cranium before I play with my octopus.   lol  sounds kinda kinky. 

** I recently have been receiving e mail from what appears to be 'Rogers'  our main service provider here in Ontario anyway - providing a link WARNING me IF I do not go & re-address my information my rogers account - my e mail will stop coming  & yes, it appears official, the sender is a rogers e mail address as well, anyway - I contacted Rogers directly & have been assured  IT IS A SCAM: 

"I can confirm that this message that you have received is not coming 
from us.  Due to an increase in the amount of spam messages being sent 
to customers we have developed a way for customers to report these types

abuse@rogers.com for internal investigation and blocking.  Lastly. if 
you are looking to block an e-mail address from sending you messages you

BEFORE you send any information - contact the company directly and just ASK
 "is this for real?"   the few moments you can NOW ​could save you a lot of headache later.

Have a creative day!
NEXT - another octopus - an alcoholic octopus!

...progress on the canvas below.

 Want to see how this kitty was painted? It's on my IG account: georgia.toons

​It's the backyard bird count this weekend & it's easy & GOOD for you - go watch the birds in your backyard for at least 15 minutes.. it's proven relaxing.   It's the perfect weekend to get the kids involved- and it's FAMILY weekend - Holiday Monday! Go look at the birds and submit what you see to assist scientists in keeping track of what's going on and where.

You'll also learn how to feed, what to do to help the living situatuions of birds and other little creatures.  Birds are disappearing (as area all creatures)  but the birds & Bees are what keeps us going!  We are such egotistical creatures to think we don't need any help. 
The bluejays already visited for breakfast -thankfully, as I've been seeing fewer lately, due to the squak and cheekyness bluejays are not aften as admired  as other birds and they are  shot' at occassionally WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN CANADA and you can be charged with an offence.... not to mention 'just fucking nasty.  I feel the same way about HUNTING anything for sport'.   I thought it would be fun to do a timelapse for the birds today to bring some awareness to counting the birds!
This cat - so close he can 'taste them... cheeky birds having a conversation outside his  view.
Please keep your cats indoors or put a bell on their collar- especially with Spring here in a month - babies will be being born & they need help too.  
​
Time to go out & fill all the feeders, peanuts & count some more - it's natures meditation- Birds are also amusing.. just watch &  you'll see.

Can you guess what I'm making next? Photo below! 

The Peyote cactus knows.. and if you ingest it- you might know too.
I have no desire to try peyote - first because it sits on my desk & I watch how long it takes to grow- it's so sweet my pet peyote,  I don't think a 'high' is worth seeing my little guy go (that & you have to eat many I believe for them to effect you properly).  Storm successfully grew several from seed and it's been really fun to watch these tiny little cactus grow many taking years before they become substantial - and then they get eaten?   Peyote also don't seem to taste that great- I'd have issues keeping them down  just from watching people eat them - it makes me nauseous but I love to paint them! I painted a little peyote on time-lapse -it's on my IG account.

Food for thought. They are illegal in the USA - with the exception of ceremonial purposes but they have been abused and are becoming increasingly difficult to find sadly,  this is not good for the PLANT. Peyote cactus are considered teachers.   Nature has all the best teachers.  It teaches me already -  'patience' just by painting it. You can't see it here but it glistens with metallic paint & it's peeking through the keyhole of the universe... in my mind.

TTC drives are not permitted to consume cannabis- or that's the direction they are going to try to go- GOOD luck with that. What anyone does in their off hours is no ones fucking business. WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL? Do they- have they ever  told drivers  they are NOT to consume alcohol after hours? It's a cartoon in the making. I see a lawsuit in the making... not to mention the very slippery slope.  Reefer madness is still rampant in Canada thanks to this sort of bullshit.

Do you know what kills more humans than illegal drugs - VANITY.  
 Think about tit. ( hee hee note type 'o) before you get the boob job!!
I watched a few episodes on Netflix of Botched Up Bodies - I highly recommend it (IF you can stomach it)  It's hard not to feel sorry for these people, all they wanted to do was better themselves... God has you perfect the way you are!
Botched Vagina's - cause  everyone needs a pretty vagina! WTF? Countless boob jobs gone wrong, lip jobs, teeth implants, lipofat removed & it's an education of how much $$$ this industry is making, this show covers IT ALL & Education is key- everyone one of these people admits they did not research, fillers that need to come out years later because they move & are making people very sick  & on top of it they are embarrassed because they paid to have themselves 'destroyed'.  Vanity KILLS EVERY day.  It is a rude awakening many need to have... not me - no cosmetic surgery for me, I'll embrace every wrinkle, saggy boob (I got two) - I love me too much to do this to my body. Twitch & all!  It really  makes you understand how fortunate we are too - I feel  healthy & grateful after watching that show. 

 One Strange Rock on Netflix is fantastic.
