60 year old has twins in Calgary
Posted: 2/5/2009 9:25:36 PM
i know a wonderful 84 year old woman happily living with her grandaughter, aged 19

her son, who was the custodial parent after his separation, passed away 3 years ago

she had helped her son raise his daughter from the age of six - a multi generational family

to see her and her beautiful grandaughter together is a wonderous thing

let me do the math... 84 minus 19, plus six... she was 65? when she became a 'second time round mom' to a 6 year old

age is an attitude... some are old and stupid at 20 and many are young and wise at 70+

i know that the 84 year old that i speak of still keeps a vegetable garden, washes most of their clothes by hand, keeps a spotless home, sews and enjoys cooking a feast for plenty... looks about sixty ... she likes a good party! loves to laugh!

and, according to her grandaughter, is expected as per the doctor's prognosis, to live to 100

her grandaughter cherishes her and helps her as much as possible in the garden, hanging up the laundry, mowing the lawn, shovelling snow, cleaning, cooking

she feels SO blessed to have had this woman in her life

i volunteer at an 'old of the cold' shelter program for low income and homeless individuals... there is a 16 year old who is regularly coming in again this year... pregnant again this year... where is the baby she was pregnant with last year?

who are we to judge? who is old? who is young? who is able?

Proud of Heritage. Are you?
Posted: 2/3/2009 8:22:39 PM
BLADY I'm proud you're proud! We've come a long way baby!

From my understanding, all human life comes from Africa so although I'm now white I probably came from black and I'm proud. Proud of my roots. Proud of what made me, me!

I agree with heretic too and his comment. I'm a humanist too!

Rahm Israel Emanuel
Posted: 11/9/2008 12:54:15 PM
What follows is a list of the five most infamous Rahmbo tales. It's the stuff legends are made of:

1. Mailing a Dead Fish

Emanuel is known for his panache for treating donors right. He sends them cheesecakes from Eli's, the famous Chicago bakery. But the one pollster who notoriously ticked off Rahmbo received a 2 1/2 foot decomposing fish in the mail -- ripe, stinky, and to the point.

2. Fundraising the Bugsy Siegel Way

His foray into fundraising started in Chicago while campaigning for Mayor Richard Daley's reelection, when Emanuel raised a record number of donations. His sales pitch was simple enough: He'd tell contributors he found their offers so low it was embarrassing and then hang up on them. Mortified, the donors were shamed into calling back and giving more.

3. Nearly Losing His Finger

When he was a senior in high school, he sliced his finger while working at Arby's. But instead of seeking medical attention, he decided to celebrate prom night by swimming in Lake Michigan. The bone and blood infection that resulted was so severe it practically killed him. Scrappy and determined, even at death's door with a fever of 106 degrees, he pulled through, only losing part of his finger.

4. Threatening Tony Blair

Never a mincer of words, Emanuel didn't couch his meaning when he offered Tony Blair counsel just before the then British prime minister appeared with President Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal: "This is important. Don't ---- it up."

5. Knifing the Dinner Table

The most infamous Rahmbo story of them all is the one that begins with the dinner the night after Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. Among those present at the dinner table was ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, who watched while an overwrought and clearly exhausted Emanuel began ranting at a long list of Clinton "enemies." As he shouted each name, he stabbed the table with his steak knife: "Nat Landow! Dead! Cliff Jackson! Dead!" Apparently, others joined in.

The bottom line: If Emanuel's appointment is a signal of anything, it is that the genteel, arugula-eating president-elect is coming to play hardball.who is this guy and why did obama pick him for chief of staff?"

Troops support Obama by 6 to 1
Posted: 11/4/2008 4:37:29 AM
'During the Vietnam era, soldier dissent took many forms and played a critical, but sometimes forgotten, role in bringing to a halt U.S. aggression in Southeast Asia, writes historian of the GI resistance movement David Cortright in his book Soldiers in Revolt.'

http://www.citizen-soldier.org/DDcoffeehouse.html

is this why the votes of many of the soldiers in iraq will not be counted? they are fed up with what is going on there and back at home?

According to a U.S election official, only about 30% of overseas military ballots were actually returned and counted.
One reason is every state has its own rules for absentee voting.
And they can change in the middle of an election cycle.
Another problem is that U.S mail is hard to deliver through a battlefield.
Congressman Kevin McCarthy says absentee ballots mailed from war zones are not getting to county registrars fast enough to be legally counted.

Why do people ask about other's ethnicity?
Posted: 10/31/2008 11:13:58 AM
i don't ask about ethnicity, but i'm often asking.... where are you from? when i hear accents... i like trying to place accents

some folks ask... why do you want to know?

invariably this leads to discussion about where they have immigrated from, where they have lived, how long they have been here, what are their impressions, etc, etc

so for me it's accent... if i overheard a minority person speaking english as i'm accustomed to hearing it from individuals who grew up in this area ... i don't ask... where are you from?

so i guess it's the immigrant stories i'm interested in... i really don't care where they are from... i'm interested in their journey

apparently my grandmother who was in her 50s when we came to canada would often ask strangers, wherever she met them, where they were from when she heard familiar accents...

shrug! guess i come by it naturally...

now remembering enjoying sitting in airports waiting for flights or loved ones and watching all the different cultures go by... and wondering about their journey

guess it depends on where the person who is asking is coming from... and how would you know unless you ask... 'why do you want to know?'

therein lies the answer to your question... ask those that ask you

Leaders fear new voting rules will discourage aboriginal voters
Posted: 10/31/2008 2:35:02 AM
ok, so what we want the first nations people to do is to follow the rules of the immigrants? lol

as if everyone in most first nations communities don't know each other by face! they don't need ID in their culture... ID is something brought here by immigrants with european rules

an aside, but connected

why is that the votes of too many of the soldiers serving overseas are also not counted in american elections?... 'the 'logistics' are difficult!' or something to that effect, while they claim the ability to conduct a precision war and show us their technical ability with' shock and awe'...also, 'they often arrive too late!' hmmmm... people have been voting all over america for the last few days...

this smells like the policy of removing groups of people from the right to vote if it is felt they may vote against the status quo - appears to be a more and more frequent tactic... making lists of people who will be denied the right to express their opinion because of the 'rules'... making lists

Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the Homeland?
Posted: 10/31/2008 2:02:05 AM
the 'coup' is not being set up by we the people... we the people are being set up

my father is a vet and i try to be respectful to him at all times because i know he felt he tried to make the right decisions for the right reasons... most times during war, he was just trying to survive

concentration camp philosophy?

i'm sure my mom at 16 thought a lot about the 'why' of their situation... when she wasn't sneaking out of camp with her 14 year old brother, desperately needing to find some kind of food somewhere so their 4 yr old sister, who was already bald of malnutrition, didn't die... she told me how they watched the patterns of the guards and how sometimes the bullets flew above as they ran crouched... out, then later in...

now as a mother, i tend to think more about avoiding that situation for myself , my children, for all humanity

call it philosophy, call it thinking, call it maternal instinct...

calling it as i see it and keeping an eye on the radar

first casualty of war is truth

won't matter who you vote for, they are both puppets stirring the pot... november 5th, should be interesting

divide and conquer... age old strategy that has proven effective... while they are walking out the back door with the gold

he who holds the gold, makes the rules... no? lol... and apparently the wars

peace : )

Would you Canadians move to the U.S,Would you Americans move to Canada if you met someone on here?
Posted: 10/30/2008 3:31:46 PM
yeah, sure you came to release all those being starved

try googling the bleiburg massacre... and who was complicant

"The survivors of the initial atrocities were organized into forced marches by the 7th Brigade of the 17th Partisan Division. The Croatians called them the "Death Marches." Tens of thousands of men, women and children were marched, hands tied with wire, through the villages and towns of southern Austria and Slovenia. On their southward trek toward the camps, they were starved, beaten, raped and ridiculed. Those who did not march were shot and dumped into shallow graves or caves. Wounded and ill Croatian soldiers and civilians in hospitals and field camps were loaded onto wagons and sent toward the camps with the southbound sea of humanity. Many would not survive. Those who did live would spend as much as a decade in concentration camps, labor battalions and prisons. Finally, the government of Yugoslavia plowed over Croatian military cemeteries and attempted to erase all traces of the Bleiburg massacres. As late as 1974 graves were removed to block investigation of the tragedy. 2 The total number of people liquidated may never be known. Despite the scholarship and masses of documents proving the contrary, the Yugoslav government denied that the Bleiburg-Maribor massacres or any subsequent liquidation of anti-Communists occurred. As late as 1976 special teams were active in Slovenia and southern Austria cover-ing up evidence of the crimes. The American and British governments, implicated in the forced repatriation that led to the slaughter, also sought to cover-up or at least ignore the crimes."

http://www.ess.uwe.ac.uk/genocide/yugoslav-hist1.htm

don't try and teach me my personal history

my mother's family was 7 km away from bleiburg when they were warned away so they missed the massacre but not the slave labour camps.... who benefitted from the camps?

you do the homework... but, pssst..........america, the UK and Russia

Kissing in Kindergarten?????????
Posted: 9/30/2008 9:22:07 PM
children learn what they live

i like when kids have been fortunate to have lived in an environment that allows them to feel comfortable with expressing themselves in a purely innocent and innately natural way

i remember who i had a crush on in kindergarten, in grade one and so on, and so on... and my first kiss... (but i didn't tell my mom about it - there's a therapy session! lol - father of my children and i were both virgins when we met... there's a book! lol)

i think it's a good reflection on you that she felt comfortable sharing that 'big' event in her life with you.. and i smile when my daughters tell me about their lives

she wasn't punching anyone out

she was with a peer

she was comfortable enough with the situation to comfortably tell you about it

she was trying out what she thought 'big' people do which is her 'job'... learning gradually how to be an adult

ease up

gave me a flashback... remembering my kindergarten crush!

thanks! : )

BEIJING, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Chinese regulators have told domestic banks to stop interbank lending to U.S. financial institutions to prevent possible losses during the financial crisis, the South China Morning Post reported on Thursday.

The Hong Kong newspaper cited unidentified industry sources as saying the instruction from the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) applied to interbank lending of all currencies to U.S. banks but not to banks from other countries.

“The decree appears to be Beijing’s first attempt to erect defenses against the deepening U.S. financial meltdown after the mainland’s major lenders reported billions of U.S. dollars in exposure to the credit crisis,” the SCMP said. LINK

Bush is proposing a 700 Billion Dollar Bailout; with China stopping their banks from lending to us, where exactly will this 700 Billion Dollars materialize from?

Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the "Homeland"?
Posted: 9/27/2008 10:21:58 PM
"Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the "Homeland"?

Several bloggers today have pointed to this obviously disturbing article from Army Times, which announces that "beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the [1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division] will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North" -- "the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities." The article details:

They'll learn new skills, use some of the ones they acquired in the war zone and more than likely will not be shot at while doing any of it.

They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack. . . .

The 1st BCT's soldiers also will learn how to use "the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded," 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them. "
