Sleeping with the Devil - A Haunted Dream
Last Sunday night I slept in the guest room of our house in the woods because the Scotsman was interested in reading, and I needed sleep. So off I trundled, down two flights of stairs with my glasses and my journal in hand, into the basement. Now this is a… Read full post »
Yet Another Reason to Quit Going to the Gym
Last week, Tripta Kaushal, a 62 year old grandmother, decided she'd go to the gym for a little workout. Rather than walking, she took her SUV to Extreme Fitness in Thornhill, Ontario. Next time she may want to reconsider that.
While I applaud… Read full post »
Broken Glass - Insights from the Ashram
The initial outline of this poem came to me shortly after I returned to the ashram. It was day two or three and our class of fifiteen women were just starting to open up.
Initially, I called it Broken Glass because that is exactly what it felt like. But as the days… Read full post »
Today I Am a French Woman – My Beauty Emancipation Day!!
After reading mypsyche’s recent post, Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful, and Mark Pritchard’s earlier post, Question for Beautiful Women, I started thinking about French women. The French women I’ve known, and this includes French women from Quebec as well, really do… Read full post »
Back to the Ashram- Finding Enlightenment at the Airport
I’ve been back from the ashram for over a week now, but I am unable to write about it. I haven’t written about the first trip there in July either. These were both life-changing, life-affirming, trips of a lifetime and yet everything remains bottled up--locked in my heart an… Read full post »
Does This Flounce Make Me Look Fat?
I hope Zumalicious doesn't mind, but I retrieved the official OS Flounce dress from our universal cleaners as I need to borrow it for a bit. Apparently the last person that used it (ahem, Sirenita) made quite a mess of it and it cost me a little extra to get it…
Fine, come snoop at my house... (surly made me do it)
Fine then. Umbrellakinesis started out this meme designed for the snoopers among us. Come on, be honest, you like to snoop. I like to snoop. So here...snoop away. Mind the dust bunnies. (And just so we are clear, none of my stuff ever resided in a mansion.)
I am veering off… Read full post »
Are You Kidding Me???? Cover Gripers - Click Here
I am completely confused by the ongoing cover griping - today of
all days. And today just seems worse than ever. Instead of
celebrating the many GREAT choices on today's cover, we have a
full on dust up *minor dissent over one tiny
little post.
Normally, I glance at the cover each day.… Read full post »
Sharing the Bathroom with a Princess
Sinking to a new level here...

Um, yes? Did you want something?

You woke me up for what?

Have you been told yet today? Now turn off the light and clean my litter box.
Uhm, sure sweetie, it's okay. I'll use the kitchen… Read full post »
Pirate Wimmen of OS - Dancing for Dakini (updated w/ tunage)
After today's failed and incredibly weak sneak attack today by Private Trudge Slurry, we are now ready to wage war on our own terms. As is the way of the world.
Of course tonight's festivities is in honour of Dakini Dancer who we lost earlier this year. Her spirit… Read full post »
9/11 From Afar - Aujourd’hui, nous sommes tous Americains
September 11 - Aujourd’hui, nous sommes tous Americains
Barry’s (bbd) beautiful 9/11 remembrance post reminded me not only of this quote, but of how this sentiment resonated with me on that day.
I imagine that most American’s see the events of this day primarily… Read full post »
Open Call? My song for the OS Editors? Is this it?
I am not quite sure about this open call, because life is a little complicated right now, but this...this... this has always been one of my songs for some strange reason. Hey, I was a product of the eighties. I am still finding shoulder pads in my drawers...not those drawers you doofus; my… Read full post »
Nekkid Bungee Jumping - Why Canadians Need Free Healthcare
This is the real reason Canadians have universal healthcare.
I received this audio bit via email, so I have no further information on the comedian, but if you need a break from all the bullshit today, take a listen and have a good laugh on me.
(Of course our healthcare… Read full post »
Howling at the Moon... Come lie in the grass with me tonight
When I left the golf course this evening after 7:PM, there was a large, almost harvest, moon on the horizon. It was beautiful. By the time I arrived home and did a few things, this is what appeared off my south deck.
We are all sharing the same sky and this… Read full post »
Glenn Beck: Art Historian or the Next Joe McCarthy?
First, let me admit that until a couple of weeks ago, I'd never watched this guy Glenn Beck. Actually, I didn't even know he existed - oh to return to those halcyon Beck-free days of my innocence. And fortunately, I still don't watch his show because I refuse to pay to receive… Read full post »
A Meme With Legs - THIS is the Worst Song I Loved (4surly)
Anatomy of an OS Dustup - Making it Personal
{This is "loosely" based on a recent dustup, but it is merely a representation of too many of them. It is intended to be humorous and not an attack on any specific individual—this is just my view of the world. If you don't like it, you can bite me. If you… Read full post »
I Think I Love You - Worst Song? (maybe it is not that bad)
Ok, the original challenge for this was thrown down by TheBarkingLot4 for the worst song you ever loved. Thanks Barker. I always love a new ear worm revisited.
I commented on the original post, and mamoore answered as a kindred spirit.
So, I found this old clip of the Partridge… Read full post »
Doing Gary Justis (not really) - Reflections on a Pond
I can't really do Gary Justis, (heck, I am not even sure I can give him his due) but I am constantly fascinated with his view of the world.
The other day, I was sitting on our dock in the late afternoon watching the fish and enjoying a glass of wine.… Read full post »

Remember when life was so simple; so good; so joyous?
I can... and this is it.
We ran into this day care class visiting the Jean Talon market in Montreal. They are soooo cute in their matching vests, they make my ovaries twitch...

Look at those eyes full of innocence and joy...can you remember feeling like that?

DON'T CLICK FOR TRUTH ABOUT CANADIAN MEDICARE -UPDATED
Yeah, I used that title as a bit of lure. Did it work? Well, you are here, and I am sick to death about the lies being passed around about the Canadian healthcare system. If you want to continue to be deceived, click away now, but if you are intelligent, and…
