Poor?

It was not until I moved out on my own that I knew I was poor. When I was a kid - it never mattered to me one bit. I made my own toys and now I look back on that and would not change it. For a time I made good money and I was a drinker (but not a drunk) and wanted to fight the world. Then I became disabled and I was taught what life was all about once more. Now I find it hard to make the money last, but the good times with good friends are always here. I see the rich and I think, "do they know who they are"?

Fake News? How About Fake Ads?

Well ya know. There is no price and I have to guess what the hell this actually is - But I'll click it and order some, just because there is a time limit on it. Did I mention I have been seeing this and several others like it all week and they ALL expire 10:00 PM Tomorrow... It's been saying that for 4 days now. Not to mention the genius of posting a B/W photo and saying there are 3 secy colors. Honestly by the look of it, it's a charging cord just like in the dollar store. I also bet it's going to be like $6 or more and then there is some absurd amount of shipping you don't notice till the last moment in hopes of catching the people who quick click threw ordering stuff. Yup sadly I know several people who have done just that multiple times and wondered why the charge on their PayPal or credit card is 3X the price of the item. Not to mention do I really want to dive some unheard of site my credit card info? Come to think of it, I keep seeing the same batch of ide

To Hell With Your Facebook Group

Image
Just dumped a local group from my life forever on Facebook. What a bunch of ignorant people. It started with a woman asking for help to feed her children because they ran out of money and the food bank is over limit and gives very little now. Well all kinds of twats jumped on her telling her to get a job and much more. They no literally nothing about the families situation and they don't care, they live to look down on others and attack them for daring to be poor, or disabled, or whatever. I've seem far too much of it over the two years I've been a member and I'm freaking done with it. No more. This is every day someone gets attacked by ass-hats looking to offend anyone they can. You would think there was no mods at all, but there is. They seem to only take down posts for people looking to sell things and so on, while allowing businesses to post ads all they want. Not one of this group of malevolent twats has been booted or even restricted. I'm in it to ask question

CANADIAN TV SHOWS OF THE 1970'S

The Fifth Estate (1976 - Still Going) Documentary, News This was a show that I remember my Mom and Dad watching once a week. Later in life I watched it as well. I no longer watch it as I’m no longer interested in news. At the time in the 70’s I did not really get what it was all about, I just wanted to be with my parents while they watched it. My brother never did stay for it if I remember correctly. Hockey Night in Canada (1952 - Still Going) Sports Dad watched this all the time in the 70’s and 80’s then just kind of stopped. I now watch it on my own. I love Hockey and CFL (Canadian Football). At the time I just was there for it – was not interested in sports until I was much older. Marketplace (1972 - Still Going) News, Consumer Affairs This is the consumer affairs show in Canada. They document what a business is doing wrong to a customer or a group and then confront them with it on camera. They have effected change over the years and ran a few places out of business.

My 20 Hour Trip to the ER in Moose Jaw

Image
This is me in the hospital on hour 13 of a 20 hour stay. My legs are extremely swollen and so are my feet. I explained in detail what is going on and how hard it is for me to walk right now. I was given blood work, and EKG and an ultrasound. No blog clots where found in my legs thank the Goddess. However diagnostic imaging is not available all the time in our hospital it seems. I had to wait until noon the next day to get the test done. The staff where wonderful but overworked as there was a great deal of people in the ER that night and the next day. I've been hearing from people around the world, all saying there is a global shortage of nurses, techs and so on. I know it's the case here. I also know from people I know and trust, that a lot of corners are cut in our Saskatchewan hospitals by management, no doubt on government pressure to cut costs. The fact is, staff who are working too hard for too long makes it not safe for the staff or the patients. Mistakes can be made when
