It has started again. The local drug store is having a “Flu Shot Day”. With that said, and all the questions about how safe they are, I have put a link to the Center for Disease Control’s web site on their side effects.
When it comes to such things as immunization shots and flu shots, did you know that the Government of Ontario has forbidden… Read More
Steve Jobs was a genius, in the same league as Albert Einstein my wife tells me. That he had a gift, we all know and the whole world appreciates. His unfortunate death has made us realize just how much he had to offer the world.
His address to the Stanford graduating class is worth the few minutes it takes to watch it. To paraphrase, when talking about how to live your life this is what he said

Questioning your self is the only way to changing yourself. And whether you question yourself about your relationships, your career, what makes you happy, or why are you here, they are all part of changing your life. And change is healthy, change is necessary for growth because without change we will wither and die.
I came across a page on Oprah’s site called “20 Questions That Could Change Your Life” that were pretty good and would like to share them, the questions and answers, with you. I shortened them down,… Read More
Everyone wants to have someone in their lives. I mean, really, who wants to be alone all the time? And many people are looking for that special someone, believing that there is a “soulmate” out there just for them.
Or is it just pinning for an old love of yesteryear? Or is it unrealistic expectations where you are living in a fantasy world?
We can get attached to a significant other, whether we live with them or
not. The significant other can be … Read More, Take the

There is something happening in New York right now that has the potential to be a real revolution. Call it the American Spring (like Arab Spring).
It all started a few weeks ago when a few … Read More
Saudi Woman Sentenced to 10 Lashes for Driving Car That is the headline from ABC on September 27/2011. Unfortunately, in this day and age, there are still societies that are living in the Dark Ages. The Age of Enlightenment hasn’t spread around the world, that’s quite apparent!
Now, although we don’t have Sharia Law in Canada, the Ontario government almost went ahead with it.
But many women in the West are still subservient to men. How many people get married for better or for worse, and come hell or high water, they stick to their vows no matter how abusive …

When it comes to our health, we like to think that we are in control. And if we are not in control, a quick visit to our family doctor will put it back into our control. Once person I was working with recently told me, completely serious when he said this, I’m in great health! When I asked him if he were on any medications, he then listed one drug after the other. He was on a drug for his high cholesterol. “But as long as I take the drug, I’m just fine”, he said. And then he told me about the drug he was taking for his high blood pressure. And the drug he was taking for his blood sugar. And that his diet was working well, that he had lost 5 pounds over the last 3 months (he weights almost 300 pounds). He seriously thought he was in great health, that he had everything under control.
Makes me wonder how many other people think that they …

I think everyone likes Anderson Cooper. Did you know that his mother is Gloria Vanderbilt? Gloria Vanderbilt, a fashion icon, noted for her swan logo on the back of her world renowned skinny jeans.
So you would think that Anderson Cooper, of CNN fame would have grown-up with everything given to him. He should never have had to work a day in his life, like say Paris Hilton. But that is not the story of Anderson.
Let’s call this post, the “Awful Truth”. A recent poll commissioned by the Vancouver Sun has said what we already thought but wouldn’t say out loud.
So here it is: “A new poll of 7,600 men has found that half of men would dump their girlfriend if she gained weight, according to the Vancouver Sun.”
Men: would you really dump your girlfriend for gaining weight?
