Social life?
It's Saturday night and what am I doing? I am finding out how to make links on my blog. -17c outside so what else is there to do? Two links in my experiment and they both work.
random facts about my life....
My first plane ride ever was in a glider (that is a plane with no engine).
The same day my next plane ride was in a Cessna ( a small plane with 4 seats).
One of my brothers owns a sheep, does not read blogs and works as a copy editor for a major newspaper.
The rest of my incredible family may read my blog so I will say nothing more.
I wanted to get over my fear of driving so I learned to drive and bought my first car when I was 39.
Driving over bridges does not scare me now. I live on an Island, so I had to get used to them fast.
What scares me is driving through Toronto. That stretch of the 401 is scary.
what scares you? Don't let it limit you.
be not afraid.
my next test will be driving by myself to Toronto. Watch out!
Barbara
Oh yeah... and one day soon I may even have a social life again. Waiting for spring.

She cuts, she pastes. Here is more email (ty J.C.)

11. Glibido (v): All talk and no action.

Valentine plans
This is the second valentines day without my love. He passed away in the spring of 2004. I try to celebrate this day for the both of us. I made what seemed like sensible plans for today. My father took my mother and I to a restaurant for smoked meat. That was very nice. My next plan was to go give blood as a gift from my heart. I did well on all the paperwork but failed the iron test. :-( Sure my blood is good enough for me but not good enough for them. I was told to eat more almonds, liver, bran, blood pudding (yuck) and come back in a few months. This is what I get for not eating my wheeties. I consoled myself by going to Chapters and buying a romance novel. What better way to celebrate Vday? To include my sweetheart in this plan I bought a Scottish historical romance as his roots are Scottish. He is laughing at me now from the other side. Cheers my Graham! Have a loving valentines day.
yes I feel your kiss on my face
be loved

Should I start a cafe?
Last year at this time all I could think and talk about was starting a cafe with my friend. Life got in the way.
It looks like we are looking at this possibility once more. I could not run a cafe without her so when she could not, I had to put that little dream on hold. We have a niche market in mind. I won't tell you what that is until it happens. Money is always a problem though. NO don't send me spam telling me how to make investments!
I will solve the money thing myself, without spam. I would have to continue working while starting up. If it's going to happen it will happen. So if you notice I am blogging less then it hopefully it means I am working my butt off trying to be a cafe owner.
Please be seated, would you like some 'sin'sational cake with that coffee?

Bringing the focus back to "trying to be"
Ok I think I have blogged enough about men for now.
This blog is about me trying to be a better person.
I am not religious but I pray to God often.
I am not saying one needs to pray or be religious. That is a personal choice thing.
I think the growth of my soul as the most important thing I need to work on in this lifetime.
Growing my soul in a greenhouse like religion is one thing, but growing it out there in the weather of life is the path I have chosen. I have a compass to guide me. I have love to keep me company. I have angels to keep me safe when I ask to be safe and to let me fall when I can learn more from that.
Just like charity begins at home, having the society you want to live in to be begins with your participation.
You want peace in the world you can be peaceful.
You want the world's people to love each other, you need to be loving, without conditions.
You want the world to stop pollution, is it so hard to recycle?
Yes I am talking to me.
You want people to listen to you, you have to have a two way conversation. hmmm. Feel free to comment.
I will choose to go out of my way this week to be the person I am working to be.
amen

What shocks average Canadians
I am starting a list of what is shocking to me and others.
1. A government that spends 51% of their budget on military. Canada gets our military stuff at garage sales...
2. Small kids riding in the car without restraint. Just like we did back in the day...
3. Government corruption. That never happens here. pffft. (It would be a shock if it didn't.)
4. Getting violent over a cartoon or anything else for that matter. Winter is too long for our blood to get that hot.
5. Women change their last names when they get married? Ok, that is only shocking to Quebecers.
6. You can turn right on a red light? Ok, that's only shocking to Montrealers.
7. Jose Theodore has been using hair growth drug for years.
8. Hair growth drug is a banned Olympic substance. (Maybe Sampson was right and got strength from his hair.)
9. It sometimes shocks me how lucky I am to be here.
Please leave comments and tell me what shocks you. Even if you are not Canadian.

Are you following the One Red Paperclip blog?
http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/
I can't wait to see how the big trade deal is going to go down live on The Hour http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/
tonight. I may have to catch the rebroadcast at 11pm because of my work schedule. If you are interested, you can all catch it at 8pm or 11pm on CBC newsworld.
Blogs are in the news and now part of the news programming. Anderson Cooper has a blog on his CNN website that has a blog on it and viewers can leave their comments on AC360s picks of news topics http://us.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/anderson.cooper.360/blog/
I find leaving comments hard to resist, don't you?
I get comment response envy when I see how many comments Anderson gets.
I should be careful what I wish for though. He must spend every spare moment checking out the responses.
Update on my life:
My car is being fixed right now. It had a bumper transplant. See earlier blog on what happened to my poor little car while I was blogging.
Hey Dad! Can you give me a lift to work?
be love

Since I turned 40, I can't shut up
I used to be a shy person. Keeping things to myself, listening to other peoples views.
But something has been building up. A gradual, inevitable, need to speak my mind has emerged.
Now I can't stop myself. I email my opinion to news shows now. I blog my thoughts in public.
Is this a mid-life crisis thing? Is this a world wide trend and I am just going with the flow?
I am not sure my opinion matter that much, but I don't care, I will express it regardless.
I have not stopped listening to others.
Sometimes they will have to speak up a bit though, because my hearing is not what it used to be.
Be your own voice

Men take cartoons way too seriously
Have you noticed who it is in the mobs of protesters over a stupid cartoon?
It's all men and boys.
Need I say more?
If they can send a man to the moon, why can't they send all of them?
Don't take this joke seriously. It's just a joke! C'est une blague la!
See if I paint all men with the tar brush that only a handful deserve, then I commit the same mistake as people who judge a large group by the actions of a few.
be calm

I love men, they are also Gods children aren't they?
I just wish they would grow up!

Brainstorming alone.
I keep many of my best ideas in other peoples heads.
Think about it.
I also store most of my scientific information in the brains of scientists.
I think it's a brilliant form of storage except for the information retrieval process.
I have to ask them questions about the stuff I once knew but stored in their space.
It makes my brain nice and empty at first but, then I read stuff, and hear stuff, and that empty space gets filled up fast.
I know I have half a brilliant idea right now. I just have to remember who I left the other half with.
be open minded

Power alternatives are out there.
Why is any country obsessed with nuclear power?
There are alternatives.
Wind, hydro, solar, hydrogen, vegetable oil, oil, coal, pedal power, even cow poop power, oh and LOVE!
Some things are universal (not western). Like skiing where there is snow, water or even sand dunes.
Art is universal. Play is universal. Misery seems to be universal too... So is happiness.
Music is also universal , taste in music or any of the above mentioned items are individual.
be yourself and I will be me.
Barbara for peace.

Men are just happier people.
I have to thank J.C. for sending me the best emails. Here is another one.
Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures?
Your last name stays put.
The garage is all yours.
Wedding plans take care of themselves.
Chocolate is just another snack.
You can be President.
You can never be pregnant.
You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth.
The world is your urinal.
You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.
You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character.
Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100.
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
You know stuff about tanks.
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
You can open all your own jars.
You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8. 95 for a three-pack.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
You almost never have strap problems in public.
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life.
Your belly usually hides your big hips.
One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife.
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier.

Headlines for groundhogs day
The U.S. fashion police take their job very seriously. The have outlawed T shirts and sweatshirt with messages. They even dragged two women out for breaking the fashion law. Frumpy is no crime, is it? I saw those shirts and they did not offend me but, isn't that State of the union an occation to dress up?
Well it looks like Canada will have an early spring. Yeah!
The US north east looks like it will have 6 more weeks. aaaw too bad!
The CRTC is looking for Canadian content in Drama Series. So if you have an idea for a Canadian drama write it up! They would buy anything at this point. I can think of lots of comedy ideas... But drama, I will leave it to others.
I have an idea for a comedy sci fi show, because that is what I want to see on Canadian TV. Who needs more drama?
CSI Toronto? No. CSI Moncton? hmmm no.
Be creative

What does this dream mean?
I drempt that I was trying to kill a mouse with a fly swatter. I kept having to hit the poor mouse over and over again. Once I started to kill the mouse I had to finish it off. yuck. ( I would not really harm a mouse)
Does this mean I am trying to do something with the wrong tool? Or trying to do something unpleasant with a lack of effort? Or was the mouse a computer mouse and I am on the computer way too much?
Or was it a message from my late loved one? He was an exterminator for 8 years. He would know how to kill a mouse with the right tool.
