I’ve taken the liberty of looking up the definitions of these words in the Marriam Webster Dictionary. Let’s start with Oblivious. In the dictionary Oblivious means: lacking active conscious knowledge or awareness —usually Read More…
Hey Hags, we have a whole bunch of new dog lovers here to hate your canine cooking ways! Once again, after this column ran in The Times there was a flurry of letters from dog lovers who took it seriously, and wanted to string poor Hags up from the nearest yardarm.

The stage was unlit, the set was non-existent, but the presence was strong and eminent. There was a girl with tied back blonde hair and a mask covering the top half of her face embracing the stage. A man elegantly playing a keyboard while spitting out jokes while another man who sat four rows back Read More…
I have had a just very interesting day. I never know who is going to be sent my way next. I mentioned in another thread that the paralegal who had trained me had just moved to town to help her family. I consider her one of my mentors, and the strongest influences in my life Read More…

As the City of Toronto and others are going to court to evict the Occupy Movement from the public parks I don’t know why the protesters even want to continue. What’s the point?
