Why the Vitriolic? - 12/11/2011

....In a recent blog I posted was about same sex marriage asked the question was banning it discriminatory. I said it wasn't because no one can marry the same except of course in places that allows the practice. Discrimination is allowing one group to do something and not allowing or excluding another group to do the same thing. If heterosexuals cannot marry the same then why is banning ...

DUMB 2 - 12/7/2011

Big dump of snow in the area last night, today roads are in bad to even badder(ok, worse) condition. Ice covered and some blowing snow, travel advisory is to stay off Highway 2 from Olds to Didsbury, a distance of 11 miles. Mind you, it is midway point between Red Deer and Calgary which is just over 100 miles. Cars in the ditch, trucks in the ditch and many fender benders. Dumb enough that the ...

DUMB 1 - 12/7/2011

The Occupy net work is slowly becomming a big head ache, a danger to health and safety, a damage to the environment and a big COST to the taxpayers. When the portie pots are in use or full, people are relieving themselves in the bushes, trees and behind poles. They are lighting small fires in the tents to keep warm. They are trampling down the grass and turning the earth to mud, garbage here and ...

Is mutual masturbation or independent masturbation together adultery? - 11/23/2011

Is it adulturous to want to masturbate with an older female companion and do no other touching considered adulturous? Here's my analogy, young men have long done this and yet they are not considered engaged in a mutal activity of being depraved. So, can a married man and possibly a married woman engage in this same activity and pass beyond the bounds of indecent behavior?

A mothers love that touched my heart - 11/20/2011

I attended our local Rememberance Day ceremonies and later watched the ceremony from the Canadian National War Memorial in Ottawa. All somber affairs. BUT the one in Ottawa brought tears to my eyes as the Silver Cross Mother laid her wreath on the cenotaph.

Being Kept!!!! An Offer I am inclined to refuse - 11/10/2011

The Gentleman friend that I am seeing invited me to "move in with him" and stated that I didn't have to work. Dang! I don't think my car will pay for it all itself nor will the house that I have to maintain take care of itself on it's own either.

I just can't visualize me holding my hand out to a man and saying "Give Me Money!!!!"

Older Woman, Younger Man?? - 11/9/2011

Why are some older women dating younger men? I was just reading an article on this and some of the responses were a bit amusing but perhaps made sense to some. I suppose some refer to them as Boy-Toys, depending on (I suppose) how much age difference. It seems the May-December romances have a whole new twist to things. I suppose the same scenario could hold true for the older man and younger ...
