Cat Litter
I may have mentioned from time to time that I am not a fan of either of my daughter’s cats, particularly this one. She’s a needy animal, more dog than cat and always in the way as she begs for affection. I was pleased therefore that she decided to package herself for disposal. The box […]
Duck Cleaning Again
Alex called a few days ago. I’d forgotten his name. And he had forgotten me. On the previous occasion Alex called I had a very enjoyable conversation. That’s not the way he would have described it. He was so upset with me that he hung up without saying goodbye. Alex is a telemarketer. I understand […]
I’m not a big Facebook user. I’m interested in what my friends are doing, but there are only so many minutes in the day. I try and get caught up at least once a week by scrolling through a large number of posts. Most of the time the posts are pretty interesting. Some I avoid […]
More Mailbox Woes
It seems almost wrong for me to keep taking shots at Canada Post. I’m sure they mean well, it’s just they have a competency issue. Or perhaps that is an incompetency issue. I’ve already written about the frozen locks on community mailboxes in my area, and how I was without mail for a couple of […]
What is Donald Trump?
I have a friend who regularly posts cartoons from The New Yorker on her Facebook page. I’m very appreciative of that since I would never remember to go looking for them on my own. Yesterday, when I laughed at the Jeopardy influenced cartoon that so obviously referenced the social and political climate in the United […]
Clickbait
I will admit that from time to time I have been sucked in by those posts on Facebook or similar social media sites that promise something special if only you will click on the link. “You will never guess what this 80’s star looks like today;” “50 Things you didn’t know about sitcom X;” “This […]
Psychological Test
Once upon a time there was a girl. At her mother’s funeral she met a man whom she did not know. She thought he was amazing, her dream guy, and she fell in love with him but never asked for his number and could not find him after the funeral. A few days later the […]
Zoloft Sales Soaring?
It’s an iconic editorial cartoon, 40 years old next week and so appropriate for today when half of Americans, more or less, are bemoaning the outcome of the presidential election. In November 1976 it felt a little bit like the end of the world too. In the Quebec provincial election the governing Liberals had been […]
Welcome to Monday
As the US prepares to elect a president, you could probably use something less stressful to take your mind off of tomorrow’s vote.So my intended post for today will show up later this week and instead I offer you this pictorial comment on 21st century parenting. I thought about running a poll to see which […]
Nanny Car for Nanny State
I have lived in a cold climate pretty much all my life. I know what it means to be Canadian. So I was somewhat offended when I turned the ignition on my car on the first cold morning of the Fall. As the system came to life a warning message was displayed on the dashboard: […]
