Joke from a friend to lighten your day...

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been
Going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long
Time.

So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he
Was, walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray and after about 45
Minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she
Approached him for an interview.

"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?

"Morris Fishbien," he replied.

"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"

"For about 60 years."

"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims."
"I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. "
"I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible
Adults, and to love their fellow man."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a fucking wall."

Oh my aching head...

Hello Everyone,

Today is a long day...that is all that I can say. My head has the feeling of a cold that will not go away, my drugs have me floating in la la land and feeling unable of handling the simplest request today without attacking someone. Oh no, the darned colds.

What I came on here to post today, is not to complain about my health...but rather that I am looking for suggestions on how to piece together a BBQ reception for a wedding. Specifically, any suggestions or ideas of what you would expect to find if you were invited to a BBQ reception and the type of venue you would expect.

Thank you for any assistance you feel up to offering.

Planetary Origin

Alright...So I had a planetary origin reading done, just to see. I had been reading quite a bit lately and wanted to know where my energy if you believe it, had originally came from...what I received back was:

Sirius/Andromeda origin (meaning I spent a lot of time on both planets)

and my most recent lives were on Pleiades, which just feels right to me.

So anyone else have some information about planetary origin? More than willing to listen...

My recent dreaming experiences...

The dreams of late have been very peaceful. I am still sitting next to my creek. I don't feel the need to go anywhere else while I am sitting there. The beautiful sounds filter in and I am just sitting and enjoying the peaceful beauty of it all. The sun is filtering down through the trees and I am warm and comfortable beneath it's rays.

I am thinking of nothing besides of how perfect it is for the majority of the time, when all of a sudden, last night I think I had a visitor. Now see, I think this is my happy place, so that is where I go when I am stressed, or just craving a break from my everyday grind.
My visitor walked up to where I was sitting, very slowly, but there was never an intrusive feeling. Rather, more like I expected that this person would be along sooner or later...he/she had the most beautiful glow about them...like the sun had decided to settle upon them and to remain. I say, He/she because it was unclear to me. I sensed both qualities, however I have the feeling that the individual in this instance, or at least last night, was coming across as male.

Even now, as I type, I have chills running up and down my back. Which generally happens, either when I am freezing...or when I have realized something. I wonder if I realized something right there without actually realizing it? Like perhaps that individual was my guide and this was my introduction to him/her...which I again just got chills from, so I will assume this is the case...
However, it could have been a family member passed on, someone astral travelling and looking for me, the possibilities are endless are they not if only I use a little imagination?

Well my friends the time has come for me to say adieu, and off to work I go. I hope to hear comments back from you...anything positive rather, that is not telling me I am crazy would be good..but seeing as how I enjoy my self and my life quite a lot, I would probably assume that my opinion has to over-ride any low opinions that others have of me. So ha Ha Ha ha ha...the ravings of a dreamer. :P

Have a lovely day!!

Last night and how I feel today...

Hello.

Well last night I returned from the theaters fairly late as my boyfriend and I had booked the Oxford to show a movie...that being beside the point...
When I got home though, I had been so stressed, running on a lack of sleep, had already worked all day, and was just feeling run down...but I tried to do my relaxation technique. After a few minutes, my mind was in the drifting stage. No thoughts were being flown at me, and I was very comfortable and thought for a minute that I was sleeping. But no, or maybe yes, but whatever it was, it was the next level of either my dreaming, or of projection. Even as I now think on it, I can feel the energy that I felt then shooting down my back causing tingling sensations all over my back, but also a release of built up pressure.

The dreaming last night brought me to a place where I was staring into a creek, actually remarkably similar to a place that I used to sit when I was little when I just wanted to be by myself, unwind, and enjoy the quiet. When I finally laid myself down to sleep, instead of just letting whatever come at me that would be good for me, I purposefully attempted to visualize that scene again...this is now my new relaxing thought I think. I have never been so relaxed except for when I was coming back from Mexico and realized at the Cancun Airport, how relaxed I had been and that I was coming home.

As a side note, Mayan People (Mayan Descendants) are some of the beautifulest people that I have ever met. In general in the area of Mexico where I was, the men and women descendants were shorter and rounder people, but so beautiful. Very friendly, so relaxed, welcoming, they have not a lot, but are happy with what they do have.

It seems like a quieter place, as opposed to North America, where everyone wants to "own" things, wants more money... Yes I am a part of that culture, I love to work, I like to get paid for what I do, but if you could work somewhere that you work less hours, and get more enjoyment, now that to me sounds like the best job ever, even though I am something of a workaholic.

I have been more seriously considering attaining my REIKI level 1 as of late. If there is anyone who has any suggestions, or who has received their Level 1 in the Halifax area, I would love to hear about it, any information would be appreciated.

Thank you for the information!

Ideas on the NS Pharmacare plan?? Or on the Angels?

Hello Readers,

I am just wondering what you out there are thinking about the Nova Scotia Pharmacare plan, or about the "Guardian Angels" setting up a presence in Halifax. Any comments, thoughts, I am open to it all regardless of what side of the coin you are on here.

Let's hear it.

Back and with News...

Hello.

Okay so I had a very informative reading. I am still processing data, and attempting to find a walkman/cassette player. (An interesting task.) But more importantly I have been working on relaxing and trying to "talk" to myself more. *By this I mean to practice meditation* I have at least been trying to get to a relaxed enough state that I can remain in this vibe for half of my lunch hour.

I have found that upon returning to work to relieve the next person for lunch, that I am far more relaxed and feeling much better than when I left to go sit in a quiet corner by myself. I will of course be trying to work on this state and improve it.

If I can manage to feel this same feeling for at least an hour after my relaxation then I am very proud of myself. Yes it is a small accomplishment, but the feeling of calm and peace that descends upon me is quite reassuring.

I hope that you all will take the time to sit, listen to your breathing, and don't think about anything. Time flies by in this position. I like to "feel" that a light is passing through and cleansing, healing as it moves through-out my body. Such a happy and positive feeling.

Anyways, I hope that you will all take at least a half hour to be by yourself at some point, even if you do it right before you go to bed, whenever it will most benefit you. My couple of minutes to myself benefits me most when I need it at lunch time. It prepares me to stay calm, collected and able to find any information that I am required to. In other words, I am very tuned in to what I need to accomplish. :)

Best of luck fellows on achieving the same state.

Remembering my astrology Reading...

For those who know, and those who don't....I am spending today feeling ill as anything. But as I lay huddled in my blanket in front of this computer, slightly drowsy from the sinus pills I have been taking...I am thinking about my astrology reading that I had done by a wonderful woman by the name of Holly.

Holly is indeed a wonderful lady, I may have even mentioned that I want to go see her business partner and get a past life regression done...I don't know what I am waiting for on that...but i will use my excuse that I do not enjoy the packed feeling that you get on a bus. Now see, on a subway you don't get that in the same way. A subway can be even more packed than the bus, usually are, but they don't bother me.

Anyways, So I have been thinking about my reading. I am thinking about it purely because I am planning on going for my psychic reading tomorrow. Whether you believe in it or not is up to you of course...but I personally do believe. I, as well as anyone has had a reading done by some real slime balls, who would say just anything that would probably ring true to hundreds of thousands of people, I.E. "You are having relationship problems....this will pass after much discussion between yourself and this individual." OH...Well then...I guess that means I should just think that pertains to a certain relationship in my life then??? No No No...there are people out there, that do know what they are doing, who genuinely want to help people, yes they want to get paid for it, but so what?? So would anyone else who is working in a trade. You wish to get paid for being a carpenter? Well that's a "gift" from god...(If you want to look at it this way...) or you are a therapist...Well...you counsel people...and we KNOW that you get paid for it...same with psychics. (the genuine ones).

Anyways, the woman in question that I am going to go to is someone that most of my entire family has seen. This woman has been accurate in many things within my family...I have put off going until now as I never felt that I needed any assistance. I have just made choices and worked with what I had started...Now...well...A little bit of extra information never hurt...and even if I do for some reason completely disagree with her, There is Always FREE WILL. Just like if I got a bad feeling during the reading or felt that she was hokey...then I would get up and leave...no harm done.

However, I do not think she is HOKEY and will therefore remain and listen to what she has to say. So upon my return I will tell you what I think friends. If I came to any personal revelations or if she confirms any ideas that I already have floating around inside my head. We shall see. Until then, I hope you all have a great weekend...I hope that I have something interesting to tell you when I get back, If NOT...well, I can always think of another topic. :)

Til Then My friends...

Unsatisfying dream/memory recall

Okay. Well I know it takes practice, and the most frustrating thing to me is that upon waking, yes I initially take down notes or thoughts, or anything that may be what I wanted to remember upon waking, whether that be coming from a lucid dream, or during astral projection...but the notes when I go back and reflect on them...Bits and pieces from different scenarios. It is difficult to sort out the lucid dreaming, from the astral.

Also, it is quite disappointing to go back and read these notes later on, as when I initially awoke, everything was so clear, I jotted down as much as I could, and then when I went back, certain of the emotions I had felt at the time, only to discover that there is not even a flicker of emotion in trying to visualize or remember the scene as I had seen it maybe only an hour previous.

I will, like a good beginner on the astral journey, attempt to keep this up... My dream journal is slowly starting to fill up, Let us hope, that eventually I will be met with success. I know that day is coming...so I will just keep striving in the right direction. Yay for me.

Also, if anyone has any additional tidbits or words of wisdom, I am more than willing. :)

Thanks.

Astral Projection and Reincarnation what?

Alright. I'm out with it. Anyone that sees me on a daily basis probably knows that I have been saturating my mind with astral projection and reincarnation information. What free time I don't spend on the Internet looking for peoples' personal experiences, stories, and articles or information, I spend reading every book I can get out of the library, which unfortunately in not enough material to completely saturate myself.
My evenings right before bed, I enjoy to engage in meditation in an attempt to condition my mind to get to the point where I will either: A. Eventually remember my projections or B. That I will be able to continue experiencing the deep levels of relaxation that I have come to enjoy from my evenings.

Also of interest, I have gone about inquiring into a regression therapy session. The woman in question is business partner to the lovely woman I get my astrology reading done by occasionally. I feel very comfortable with both of these ladies, and hope only that this will be a success and one that will be bringing me perhaps a little bit more knowledge about myself.

Of course, I am trying to first be able to easily get to a deep level of relaxation so to ensure myself the best possible chances when I do finally get to have an appointment with her.

Anyone have any tips, hints or words of wisdom to impart?

Happy Halloween approaching...

Ya know, I like Halloween. I have enjoyed the trick or treating, then having girlfriends over and watching scary movies, then a period where I did nothing really...and now I am back to the point where I like to watch movies with my boyfriend, and watch off the balcony for all the little devils, witches, lady bugs, and whatever other costumes they come up with.

No offense to the teens, but my favorite costumes, has and always will be those of the little tiny children and the pets dressed up. They were always just a little bit too cute to be out trick or treating but I always thought they were adorable!!

Scary movies...but what ones to watch?? I am hoping that my boyfriend will pick out which one he wants to watch. ;) So that I can claim I didn't choose it while I hide my eyes behind my fingers. Oh yes...I am one of those. *sigh*

What does everyone else do for Halloween? Any plans in particular? I hope you are all doing something...watching a movie, handing out candy... it's all in good fun.

So tell me, what are your plans? Happy Halloween!

Jeeze the papers have me on fire this week...

Okay hello readers.

Once again the papers have got me going. I mean two mornings in a row really!!

All I have this morning and I promise to make this shorter is a couple of things. FIRST off...here is a quote from the Hansard proceedings July 27, 1988 by Lawrence O'Neil. " Unborn children across this country are being suctioned from the womb by women who want to put an end to their pregnancy. Those children are being dismembered." ALSO he said " IT appears that there is a widespread acceptance of the notion that a mother should have the right to control her body. There is no such right."

Okay..pause for dramatic effect..... Wait a second, who do you think you are exactly and who appointed you to tell WOMEN and I MEAN WOMEN..not just the mothers which you listed, as most women at least consider becoming mothers at some point that we do not have the right to control our own bodies?? WHAT??? I hope someone near you swats you with a magazine when they read that quote today. (Joke. *wink*)

While I may or may not agree with abortion. I AM A FIRM believer in freedom of choice..which I believe is what Canada represents. You cannot just outright say that abortion is bad. It's not good...but that does not mean that it is bad. In some cases it is a necessary evil. Violent crimes (RAPES), medical reasons (The mother would die if the pregnancy did not end). Of course there are other situations which are more open to interpretation and it is dependent upon each situation. Unexpected pregnancies where neither the father or mother have come to the decision unanimously...the point being...Mr. O'Neil...that we as women have a choice...we include our spouses in the decision as the situation warrants, as both parents made the child...but make no mistake...WE DO have a choice.

And I'm sorry...but do you think that it would be better if there were no birth control and no abortion (OF COURSE I THINK birth control methods should already be being observed by women not wanting to conceive. AND by men prior to even considering abortion. Clearly abortion is the option we all want to avoid if possible) and then there were thousands/hundreds of thousands of unwanted births happening in every province all across Canada.

Are there not enough children in care as we speak? All I am saying is that You are WRONG Mr. O'Neil. A woman has EVERY right to control her body...the same as I would not expect someone to try to stop you from doing whatever you feel you need to, to your body. That is your right.

I was actually astounded when I read that quote. Of course, I know there are anti-abortion crusaders out there...but the end part of that quote where you said "..a mother should have the right to control her body. There is no such right." I just about lost it there. Good Job. I haven't read anything that got me going as quickly as when I was reading about Mr. Casey and Mr. Harper's "So Called Decision" yesterday in the news. BRAVO.

WOAH Wait a second...what did you say Mr. Harper??

Okay...It is well known by people close to me, perhaps not my readers as of yet, but I do not like Stephen Harper. The only reason he is in power CLEARLY to me...is because his party joined with the Conservatives. Otherwise he wouldn't have received even a single vote from eastern Canada due to his "bullying" tactics, bad-mouthing us, and in general I do just not see this man as fit to have run of our country.

An article in the Chronicle Herald this morning has me livid. Mr Harper...has turned down the support from the tories in the Colchester-Cumberland in support of their Mr. Bill Casey.

Now first I would like to mention that I in no way support the tories. BUT. I have met Mr. Casey, AND he has been a TORY LONGER than Mr. Harper has been a Tory. Please explain to me...the whole reason in saying he cannot be a party candidate is because he voted against his own government's budget legislation to protest changes to the Atlantic Offshore accord.

Some of Mr. Harper's earlier ideologies that he was fond of .... OBVIOUSLY...Western Alienation...so why...pray tell is he black balling MR. CASEY for standing up for what he thinks is right for his area??

As I said, I am not a TORY, but many people in Northern Nova Scotia where I grew up are...and I mean DIE HARD TORies...and I have to tell you...if MR. CASEY leaves the Conservatives...well...people really like him in my area and we know he stands up for our area...what do you see happening??

So in closing...come on Mr. Harper...you really think it's necessary to go to the extremes that you are?? I liken this to....the spoiled boy that tells all the kids except the one who is dating his crush that they can come over and have a party at his house....but not that boy...because he is dating the girl.

So what that means Mr. Harper in a roundabout way is that...You may lose some of your faithful and die hard tories...will it be enough to boot you out of government?? I can sure hope so. Your unwillingness to talk to the free press, your views and ideologies clearly still represent the west and not eastern canada....Let's just say this faithful liberal is hoping for an election...and honestly...as long as there is a positive change...I would be happy.

GO BILL CASEY!

"Black Snake Moan"

Hello readers!

Today I am talking about "Black Snake Moan". Last night my boyfriend and I rented and watched this movie. Well...Samuel L. Jackson as always, never fails to meet my expectations. I am not exactly a fan of Ricci, but I have to give the girl credit...she fit the part perfectly. Rae and Lazarus were very well rounded characters in my opinion.

Lazarus (Samuel) is the man. ALWAYS the man. Although I have to say that the preacher was also an amusing character.

Rae (Ricci) is a girl with a problem. Her man goes away to do a tour (His first obviously) and she goes crazy. As the story you can see that she is afflicted and is a nymphomaniac which has gathered a very negative reputation. Lazarus, a man whose wife has left him for his "brother". Lazarus is a honorable man and this can be seen through-out the film. One has to note though, how impossible this film would have been without Samuel.

I need you all to go see this movie. What did you think? I have not enjoyed a Ricci movie in a while, and I have to say that this film is one that I will be getting.

Bravo Jackson and Ricci.

Cancelled the Imac

*SIGH* After frequent dealings with the DAL PCPC we have come to the decision and have canceled our order with this business. The service we received I am sorry to say was not on par with the service we should have received due to the price we would be paying for the computer. I do not plan to pay a large amount of money only to get jerked around by the business in question.

Please do not think that we made this decision lightly. My boyfriend had spoken with a daytime manager, a shipping/receiving clerk, and a couple store sales people, and not one of them would give us a direct answer. Instead everything was "pass the buck". It was either Apple's fault, or the clerk taking the order's fault, or the most infuriating...It was our fault. I do not care what they say...have they never heard the phrase "the customer is always right"????

Obviously they have not taken any customer service positions before. Anyways, I know that word of mouth is more powerful but I hope that someone planning on purchasing a MAC computer has the good sense to go directly through apple as the delays you will get and the confusion of relatively simple orders is more than slightly bothersome.

I hope that you read this review and understand my frustration. We were trying to purchase this computer though the local area, in order for my boyfriend to receive his student discount and the other part of the promotion at the time which is why we had ordered when we had, but the constant denying of responsibility was bordering on extremely rude, and we honestly felt the best thing to do was to go where someone would at least care that they would be losing a good sale.

Think before you buy. ALSO do you notice that there is a month gap since I last wrote about the imac?? So much for 7 business days huh??

Extinction and blood Collection

Hello. Did you know that only 3% of Canadians Donate?? What is wrong with us? For normally being so good to our fellow man, we are ridiculously sad when it comes to blood donation. On the flip side however, there are also so many restrictions now on donating blood that the blood donations have lost their primary donating group. (The military) - This is due to them being overseas for extended periods of time, yet one would assume that they are absolutely one of the groups that require the blood. (Next to cancer, burn and surgery patients)

I am writing this in hope that some of you will decide to donate. If you go during the week, and in Halifax they have a shuttle to pick you up so that you can do it at lunch time. So really why not? Lunch time is such a quiet time to go and donate blood as well. The lines are basically non-existent, and honestly it doesn't hurt. You feel a sting and that is it...and to be truthful...the lady who jabs your finger at the beginning to check your iron is the one I am scared of...something about her reminds me of the diabetes checks my grandfather used to impose upon us. Ha Ha. Truly tho, my finger tip was bruised after this last time, and my arm was fine. Go Figure huh?

Anyways Resident Evil: Extinction. My boyfriend and I recently went to see this movie for his birthday. I am the resident evil fan, he is also a fan, but more just a fan of Milla I think. By the way she is Due in November and I for one, am extremely excited to see pictures.

Returning to resident Evil, extinction it was amazing!! I will wait a little bit longer before openly discussing this so as to not ruin it for anyone, but suffice it to say that I enjoyed this quite a bit. One or two parts were a bit much, but overall it was great. Please go and see it so that we can discuss it.

Ah Life is Good but I am oh so tired. :P

Hello everyone.

Yes life is good, but yes I am very tired. I have tomorrow off for my scheduled extra off, and then Monday is my day to go brides dress shopping with my sister. :) So no work again until Tuesday. Not a bad thing I guess. However it all depends upon how many movies my significant other has to see this weekend for the Atlantic Film Festival before it wraps up.

Also of note, tomorrow or rather late tonight Resident Evil: Extinction is out. I am not certain if the hype will have been worth it. I sure hope it will be. :P Anyways, I don't have too much right now...but if anyone goes to see the movie tonight...you could always leave me a comment about whether you liked it or not. No spoilers please...just yes you did, or no you didn't.

Thanks

*Sigh* Still waiting...

I know I know...I am impatient, but come on..... It has almost been a week why isn't the computer here yet??

On another more positive note, my boyfriend and I have recently purchased cellphones and now have our very own cell phone packages. I am slightly excited as this means that we can talk to each other during the day and can now make plans that don't involve going home first. Yay for Cell phones. Also, with him being in school, it is nice for him to be able to check in if he has to stay and do something at school, or if I am not home when he gets home to be able to call and ask me to pick something up.

All in all it is so far very much appreciated. Although, I do believe that my poor cat is not enjoying being tormented into posing for our cameras. HA Ha. So hopefully there will be a computer by Monday or Tuesday. I will let you know what is going on of course the good person that I am. ;)

Talk to you all again very soon.
