Crash

Fuel bins that hit the bridge at the trans Canada highway and Main Street North on June 28, 2013. The bins are a right off but the trailer can be fixed I think. Frame is OK so the deck can be rebuilt. Hit the overhanging signs before the bridge. It seems the east bound lane is the one that gets hit most of the time and not the west bound one. There must be a height difference.

A Boost To Spark A Memory

So there was this add for "Boost" and it sparked the memory of Mom spilling hers at the dinner table in the care home. It cut threw me like a knife. The pain just as bad as the first day. It does not seem to get better. When my brother is gone there will be no one left. The rest of the people I am related to I don't care for and they don't give a shit that I even exist. Not one of them has called or sent a card since Mom died. In fact out of all of them only 2 sent a card after her death. They know my number, they know where I live. Some are in town even. Yet people I have never met care more about me than they ever did or will. Makes me wonder how they sleep at night. I hope they enjoy all the money they have and I hope they enjoy looking down at people like me. As for me, I can only pity them. They don't know what wonders this world holds. The best things are free and they ignore them; they always have.

Top Dog

Got this at "Top Dog" at the corner of Main and Fairford St. Just on the corner of the city hall here in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was $5 for a smokie and down right good. I put Thai hot sauce and peppers on it as well as a bit of cheese. They also sell chips, popcorn and drinks. They are open in the summer months and set up about 10:30am or so. Well worth the stop in for a munch while walking the historic streets of Moose Jaw.

OK out to Wally World and guess what it's piddling on us again... Oh wait I mean still - Day 4 of drizzle with a smattering of torrential downpours. So anyways... We gets there and have to drive around the carts. Seems someone had way too much time. All the other cart corrals are empty, laving this one willed to overflowing. Ah the endless energy of youth. At least I hope that is what it is. Otherwise it's them UFO people come'n to mess wit us again. We don't want no more anil probates... It's not enough they engenered us from them their monkey folk. Now they gots to be anil probate'n us... OH GOD! Not again! I just channeled an internet whack job again!

What is going on here?

OK above is a scan (redacted) of the notice I was given of the rent increase. It will be in effect as of August 1, 2013 as stated above. So until then the rent is still at the current rate of $575. You will notice that in 2 places it states this. One in the proper spot and again in the owners writing (Lease is up July 31, 2013 he put down). The form is dated May 24, 2013 so two months notice and a little bit more. But it clearly states that it ends on July 31, 2013. As we are all under a lease it is legal to give 2 months notice and this is Form 15 as it should be for this instance. So I hand in my rent cheque for $575. This was on the 1st. Today the 3rd the manager comes up with this piece of paper with all our rents on it. It has been changed by hand to $650 for this month. I have to call bullshit on this. This is a legal contract people. So is the one I signed last year that is not up until July 31, 2013. So For this month (June 2013) and next month (July 2013) I am obligated to p...

Would be nice

If my worker called me to let me know if they are covering the rent hike or not. After all he had lots of time to phone and be a jerk the other day. Now something this important is ignored of course. My mental state means nothing to them I am sure. As well as the need to know if I need to find a rat hole to move to. Sigh people just don't give a crap about us lowly disabled folks. Government is the worst of it and its little workers who play God over us. 

Product Review - International Delight Iced Coffee

It was much better after I got the ice made and let it sit for a little while to cool down. Vanilla 8/10 Mocha 9/10 Smooth taste to both. Mocha had more of a coffee taste to it. Make sure you shake the container well before you use them. Website I got the free coupons from was: https://www.bzzagent.com/ Note the Audio is messed up. The video works fine on my end but on YouTube after 3 uploads it's still not functioning correctly...

SAID is killing me

Image
I have recently needed to provide proof that the rent is going up for SAID . I gave them a letter after I was given a verbal notice that the rent is going up. For this I got a phone call that was to say the least degrading and demoralizing. I am a human being and deserve a basic level of respect. The government workers who are paid to help people like me always seem to act in a superior manor and try to push us down. The sarcastic overtones and overt innuendo that I am trying to pull a fast one on them is not welcome. The greatest source of stress in my life and will continue to be the social workers at SAID , until it is too much and I drop dead. I am just so tired of being treated like shit all of the time when I have to deal with them. It's amazing as hell to me how they think they can just fuck with us... Until this is resolved I will be in true hell. The massive pain I feel most days is nothing in comparison to the mental pain they put me through. I just don't know wh...

Elijah Harper Dead.

There are only 8 or 10 politicians I ever had a deep respect for. This man was second from the top in my mind. He stood for what he thought was right and let no one stand in his way. He changed the way a lot of people thought about first nations people as well, me being one of them. He overcame a lot in his lifetime and became a leader among leaders. His impact was not only on the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan but on the entire political and social landscape of Canada. Canada has lost of of it's most outstanding people I must say. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2013/05/20/mn-elijah-harper-in-state.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah_Harper
