Wheres my money. acrylic on wood. 7.5 inches
Norm owed me money so I painted him a reminder, he did laugh when he saw it twirling I the breeze. Most couples argue over money, more than anything else... been there,, done that and still occasionally do. It doesn't seem to matter what class' one is in, money is a constant consideration, I wish it wasn't but I've struggled for $ for food, bills & seen people lose everything by missing one mortgage payment (we were weeks away from this happening ourselves not too long ago) I can tell you at one point I was afraid to answer the phone, so I know how many are feeling & this is what's happening in Canada at an all time high, now. The stress it brings to families is devastating & there's no where to go - few rental options and no $. WTF is Trudea doing? Why commit to spending other places when Canadians need the assistance here, now? I'm not sure if you've seen this episode of Family Guy but it's funny not funny.
In the past Norm has mentioned it to me, so my reminder is more amusing, visuals usually are.
I do not 'let it slide' as in the past I've learned a few lessons & I'm not about to repeat them. If I owned a business I'd hang it above the cash register for those that 'know' would probably chuckle and we can all use a chuckle.
Trump, holy -social media is rampant with comments, good & bad, it appears the attempted assignation has pushed Trump to the top of the hill again. Personally, I liked how he raised his fist, ear bloody & stood strong! We've all seen Trump & Biden lately battle it out & Biden according to many (not just me) needs to step down. His decline is obvious & the fact that he's not resting enjoying life on a porch somewhere but is instead being paraded and degraded, is sad. The shooter, (now dead) just 20 is also a sad statement, thinking he could resolve anything with a gun & killing Trump would not have resolved but encouraged revolt, anger, hate & probably more deaths. Difficult times, all around the world.
The Bible has taught me: God knows every hair on our heads and knew us before we were born and has us all exactly where we are meant to be... Trudeau too. I'm not going to wish ill will to any of them any longer, it's not a 'job' I would want & I am grateful for them all - teaching the entire world a few lessons. I do think Trump would be better than Biden for the American people, rumour is Michelle Obama might appear on the ballots, that would be interesting!
Doug Ford is feeling heat again, promoting a website that tells everyone where they can purchase booze during the strike, several remarks point out: why haven't then done that with a list of available doctors, which would actually help many more. Alcohol is the root of evil if you ask me, so many lives destroyed, stupidity enhanced, accidents inevitable, violence preformed under the influence, innocent lives constantly taken from drunk drivers. Norm tells me the line up at Jug City, for booze, which I'm sure is on Doug Fords map "is something, right out the door". Alcohol consumption since covid has risen, making the LCBO monopoly richer than many even understand.. how's that strike going? Alcohol now available in corner stores- who needs the LCBO? Let us not forget the CCBO (cannabis)- raking in millions/billions and soon the PCBO, wait & see.
More places are announcing getting rid of short term rentals as it's creating part of the housing problem, I've mixed feelings about this.. why shouldn't people be permitted to do as they please with what they own? Let's be honest - I bet the hotel industry is hurting, no wonder! The last time I stayed in a hotel (a decade ago) is was $700 for a weekend - almost rent for a month for many. I see ads -$1500 for a night - for what!!? A bed to sleep in? Hotel service isn't that awesome - unless your are staying at a $2,500. a night place - maybe. If going on a vacation I'd be looking for a house (AB&B) that was dog friendly on a nice property that had privacy and not a bunch of strangers in the pool, lobby, halls etc... so I get it. There was obviously a demand for it as it's a booming business still - well unless you're in Spain which is planning on banning them & tourists are being discouraged from renting with water guns. I know in this area it's very hard to find a place to rent full time - again, why rent your place for $1000 a month when you could get $2000 for two weeks from some wanting to vacation in the highlands. It's a conundrum for countless, time will tell what happens here.
I'm trying to stay out of 'picking a side', I don't think there are actually sides anymore, it's all one giant hippodrome & we all have front row seats with our cell phone & T.V.s... good time to turn them off & paint & enjoy this day The Lord has made! Give thanks for all the main actors on this stage for this life changing performance - it's definitely not worth taking a bullet for but you have to admit: Trump took it like a pro! I am tempted to paint the iconic pose, perhaps.
Today I'm painting a gift for someone special & that always brings me JOY! To give is to receive.
We were created by the Creator to create!!
