Gumby & Pokey the drug mule...

24/4/2019

     If Gumby was in the Cannabis Industry - marketing & packaging  would be all the buzz.
Have you introduced your kids Gumby? I grew up a single child raised by a single working mom  so I watched a lot of cartoons & had a lot of 'alone time. Gumby, Bugs, Mickey & Kermit were not just entertainment' but friends' who inspired a great deal. 

I realized how serious many of the lesson Gumby discussed were as a child & Beeecause they stuck' with me to date & are still a problem today as in 2 Bee or Not 2 Bee.  Spraying illegal chemicals on the plants making all the Bees sick s- they get a Biker metal Bee to help  If only it was so.  Gumby was educating children the best way the creator thought to do.
Me too.

Gumby also encouraged limitless creativity with his magical body of clay powers & pony pal Pokey too.  Hee hee     Creativity keep me going, these little characters sit in a shelf in my office treasures from the past- I like them because they trigger happy memories... if I had any advice to offer anyone about decor in the work space' make sure all you see is associated with a good memory or peaceful feeling.  

Today was one of those days I lay down for a nap & that turned into 6 hours! Clearly,  needed, still feeling tired I'll take a few quite days to paint, rest & medicate & meditate.  & catch up on some painting that have been under the surface for a while now.  That's always good news for anyone that might be waiting on a painting... or mail - your patience is  appreciated.

I just found out about a 'GoFundMe' I am going to contribute to & I encourage you  to consider the same.  Toronto ground breaking documented research for depression, anxiety using microdosing psilocybin:         https://www.gofundme.com/microdosing

Leons Lies

8/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Tis the season... SCAMMING season.   Norm & I decided it was time to  get some new furniture, we've had the same for 25 years and it's a little ruff from 2 decades and countless dogs, so we went shopping and splurged like we've not done.. ever.

We ended up at Leons in Newmarket while sampling a sofa I asked our representative with the thick accent (I love accents - men or women - I'm intrigued by accents.) when will it be delivered? "Two weeks" she said.. I thought.. o.k.', more shopping - we met work friends of Norms at the cash and I asked her AGAIN - when will it be delivered?
"TWO weeks" was her response again - Norm then asked: why 2 weeks?
She replied: It's at another store.  We all looked at each other- I can do two weeks I thought. I waited. 2 weeks. Two week came and has gone - no call BUT we did get something in the mail which now adds- it might be anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. 

I called and explained -I don't care what the brochure they mailed 'at a later date' states, I was promised by a store employee (several times) "2 WEEKS" .   Had she said to me - "it would be anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks"  I would have said 'Thanks- I'll go elsewhere.' BUT SHE DID NOT-  *Apparently I am to blame - for NOT reading the FINE print when we gave them our money ( I also don't recall them asking us- 'Better read this fine print before you pay!)  SO if you're shopping at Leons - you better bring a lawyer I guess. WTF? LIES.   She KNEW I wouldn't get that furniture, I could hear it in her voice- do they scam just for sales? AND where is the furniture at another store that takes 2 weeks delivery? Are they making them as they get the orders?  I called head office & there was another sign- they did not call back- they don't care. I wish we new these things about businesses before we purchase from them.  I was going to call again today and say WTF is my furniture and WHEN can I EXPECT it? - First I took a detour to the BBB regarding Leons-  WOW- HOW are they still in business?? My GUT told me to call  and cancel EVERYTHING  & I did.  

Just from our short encounter starting with lies, to lack of giving a shit about customer service - imagine if there's anything wrong with your product, good luck. Forget that - ALL businesses - from furniture shops to dispensaries -  Business should care about the ones who pays the bills - THE CUSTOMERS.   I feel we've avoided a  sofa nightmare, we will shop elsewhere, somewhere where they actually might keep their promises & stand by their word. Fuck Leons - if this is common practice - they'll be the next to go under.

I reminded Norm we bought local at a family furniture shop down the road- later today we'll check them out again , I'm sure we'll have no trouble finding something family friendly and get it sooner than later.

I'm sharing  so others might avoid some of the bullsit we've already experienced. 
I feel relieved on this lovely snowy day..    it's all so unimportant - when I pay attention to the rest of the world... it's nothing.   It's stuff. It's Absolutely not worth getting stressed over.

 I do believe in the power of prayer - I'm praying for PEACE in Paris.

New Moon Rising

22/8/2018

Do you know what comes after a new moon? A new day. 
With cannabis comes cannabis education & realization.  
I've got several girlfriends now with parents suffering from diseases..  
Dementia, Parkinson's  and miscellaneous aliments all have them stressed watching their moms deteriorate - of course.  It hurts me to hear of them (I knew them growing up) suffering - know what hurts more - when I KNOW without asking these people are now on medications altering their brains and many (if not all) still probably were not told about cannabis as an option.  Many will be on a mix of chemical cocktails proven to kill before their time'.   The option that won't kill you from an accidental  overdose is not offered, YET.

I'm beyond proud of cannabis & Canada - I truly believe this is going to improve our health as a Country with each NEW day comes new awareness.  Cannabis is not proven to change brain chemistry-  make it one of your first options to try treat pain & depression, PTSD, anxiety etc? RESEARCH.   I've met many people who suffer from anxiety & it varies from person to person,  WE ALL have reason to get anxious - TRUMP.. I feel it myself- to the point I CHOOSE to 'turn it off' and focus on something else. I CHOOSE to focus on my art- force myself. If I don't & let it ramble in my brain all day - who is to blame?
Do you think Trump thinks about me  all day - lol. No.  (Ewwwwwwwwww)
Do you see my point?

Nothing bothers me more when I see a beautiful, talented young woman who is wasting her life - being anxious about what others think of her and  lets face it - that IS what it
is all about  most of the time (we are all guilty of it) - because if we had no one to impress - we wouldn't care.  There would be no reason to feel anxious.
The problem is  I don't have time for bullshit or excuses, I'd rather paint.  Sound cruel? 
Do you want me to say: Poor you, stay home, hide away, put on weight, don't live your life, never experience things, blame others for your misery, never meet anyone, never share experiences, never reach your full potential - BECAUSE that is exactly the lie i'd be telling 'if' I did go along with the lies I'm told...   & that would be cruel of me.  
Life gives us a million reasons to be anxious.    Choose carefully.


The older I get I also feel it is true- my grandma drilled it into me:
God helps those who help themselves.
I've got no problem helping someone 'I see trying'. It's that simple. We all have to try. 
Trying at art, acting, knitting, anything - LIFE!  
If I can help or possibly offer some encouragement I do... the moment I meet someone ready to blame the world on everyone else and not try- I lose all patience & quickly move on.    Oh well. I'm not perfect - never pretended to be. - lol - This blog is proof. 

Women are still behind men - in all ways - is there any wonder we do feel anxious?
 I 'STILL' know many men who think women will never be their equal and should NEVER be considered their equal.  That is their loss.  & no they are not cavemen and not all OLD.  It doesn't help when WE  STILL constantly see naked women plastered all over - encouraged to be seen as sexual objects  & the facts are THAT IS how the majority of those images are being seen (If I'm wrong about these facts & statistics - I encourage you to enlighten me)  not as "ART" or beautiful human figures, or goddesses- no they are seen as objects men would like to F*&^.   Fact.   I get frustrated when I see friends who post their boobs with #FREEthenipple - are you really all about free the nipple?  
Then another post follows.. was/is that #freethecrotch  too?  #Freethe asscheeks?  Come on! 
Please think about the younger women who will SEE, watch & follow in our paths and they already struggle with serious sexual abuse & rape - on the increased due to social media and this casual approach to posting nude photos and a swipe to the left. 

I can only hope with cannabis legalization will come a new attitude - no more boobs and bongs... ha- there will always be a boob & bong market. It's a new moon, new day and time for a NEW cannabis image - positive, beautiful, clean, healthy & happy! & Safe!
​Women- this is your opportunity to rise up! Take ownership and Prove:  
We are more than boobs!  Excited for the NEW day  with Cannabis! 
We are MUCH more than a pretty face.

IF "we" really cared about children...

19/6/2018

I am aware why I taught kids..  Not only was I blessed to teach them arts, cartooning and crafts - all things they really love - I was able to witness first hand a hundred times over - the genius of kids.  The creativity, hopefulness, energy, absorbency of knowledge, excitement of life & generosity of kids.  

All this "What about the children.." We've got to keep it away from kids!", blah blah blah...
First of all little kids- toddlers- that's up to the parents to educate your child and *KEEP YOUR cannabis safely away from your children and every other thing that can harm them- we all understand this is impossible. But try.. that is what good parents do. 
Heres what I learned about kids, they are:
                               NOT FUCKING STUPID.  Stop treating them as so.

Chances are in many ways with help of the rest of the world, cell phones, iPad & internet they are probably smarter than you. I guarantee there are far more intelligent 8 year olds than old, white, very rich men in USA congress  at this very moment.  (cartoon in the works) kids know more about Cannabis than we ever did about Alcohol growing up - other than it was "cool" at least they are hearing about discussion & they WILL then educate themselves- or they won't - this is life.  Teach them about choices & consequences.
HONESTLY. 

So not allowing creative marketing on cannabis products is just BULLSHIT.  
How are we o.k. with this decision?  What happened to choice?  It is just setting up Canadian businesses for failure and healthy competition. IF the kids who want it - want it- they don't give a shit about advertising. Open a flier this past father day weekend what do I see?  Besides the glossy alcohol flier- just in time to drunk dad up..  - A COORS popcorn maker' on sale and  giant novelty beer cooler' for dad! Plant the seed.  Who doesn't own a free cap given in a case of beer - isn't it a Canadian tradition?  I really do like my "I AM Canadian"  T-shirts & bucket hat Molson Beer puts out, they keep it class IMO by keeping 'molson' very small.  OMGosh it's frustrating when you realize the difference between cannabis and alcohol alone.. worse though - it is insulting to our kids.  
Why confuse them- tell them straight out! Don't use any drugs if you can't help it -it might destroy parts of your brain. Why take the chance?
Give yourself the best advantage in life you can
Don't eat any crap or you'll get fat & it will lead to serous health problems.
Don't start Vaping- it's not attractive and it might just become and expensive habit.
It's ALL stuff, try to experience 'life' - not stuff...      I think that would be a good start.
 
Wouldn't it be nice if we REALLY cared about kids- ALL kids - if we stopped this hypocritical bullshit RIGHT NOW & ALL focused on what IS happening the USA  with separating kids & sticking them in cages like animals- NO art supplies, NO toys, NO blanket < No COMFORT. ANY American that goes along with that, I do not understand your definition of 'Proud American'.  Do you have children?  

                            Ya'll better not believe in Karma. Eh.

Imagine the seed that is being planted in all those young minds & the young minds of all watching. Fear & HATE.

Please let's teach our children, educate them..  not plant seed of confusion, fear and hate.. end the stigma with cannabis or get RID of ALL Alcohol advertising- for the sake of the kids of course.

READ THIS ^ ^ ^                            ^ ^ ^                                                          ^ ^ ^ 
IF you care about the kids and then explain the Fucking DOUBLE standards to me PLEASE.
