Against Internet Censorship

Care of my friend Schmutzie who is presently blacked out in support:
"Due to proposed legislation in the United States (presently SOPA and PROTECT IP), the internet we know and love could change across world borders for the worst. Even though SOPA is proposed legislation in the United States, it has provisions that would treat all Canadian IP addresses as if they were under U.S. jurisdiction, and so it would affect all Canadians.

Many sites, such as Wikipedia and Reddit, are blacked out for 24 hours in protest.

If you live in the U.S., you can take your stand against its internet blacklist bills here: "
Stop Internet Blacklist Legislation AND SIGN THE PETITION
We have been bound through the decades by the strands of the geopolitical web to the Americans. We do not have to accept their vision, or lack thereof as our model for the interweb. Or are you afraid?

xmas preparedness : epic fail

Miss Always Organized Early has not delivered a xmas card not wrapped a present, trimmed a tree nor hung a single ornament, baked a cookie or ut up the mistletoe.

And she will not be dragging the misc boxes etc up the stairs to be dragged back down in less than a fortnight, nor spending 4 very good days doing the setup/takedown.

I think this year is my hald century vacation from the pomp of Santa season.

May your joy outshine mine!

oh my, i missed November

and santa day is only 17 days away.

Swoooosh! and it was gone.

The trip home was grand. Questions answered, comlpications uncomplicated, and was gifted with a bubbling gurgling little pool of glee by a tall drink of water.

happy santa season all y'all

last will & testament

Done, not notarized, but everyone has a copy , executors have agreed and everyone knows my intentions. Last bit of paperwork to do before I leave. I really do need to get a notarized version completed. I'm listening PJ.

Just picked up the last litle tidbits for the trip and making a list of things left to do. Update the work website, pedicure/manicure, 1 load of laundry, water the plants, maybe streak my hair, figure out haberdashery for CDN and Intl legs of flight, pickup bread ham & mustard to make my airplane sandwiches (so much better than theirs.

And I have my nonspill cup from the Growleys for my Timmy's on the plane - YEAH! and THANK YOU.

29 hours. Take a big breath and smell that? That's the essence of happyness.

2 sleeps and a nap

It's amazing what anticipation can do for the soul ;D

Almost caught up on everything.

Good to go.

See all y'all in a coupla weeks

one month

and I will be 50 years old.

HAH!

Good for me, and I will enjoy all the rest of the years I'm given.

I will not let experiences that touch my heart diminish me.

I will not waste the gift that is my life in the refusal to take risks.

I will risk my heart on love in all its forms, it is self healing.
