Shame on all the Canadians who did not get out and vote, you could have made a difference!We have far too many people here (I have witnessed) who like to complain, but not vote.It is too bad that even if an over 60 is using an oxygen tank and a wheel chair they'll get out to vote, but not a perfectly healthy young person....This speaks volumes about the under 30 demographic!Even though I am not happy with the results of the Canadian Election 2011, I VOTED FOR THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN!Having the right to vote is a RIGHT I can't believe some Canadians take lightly!


The US gave George W Bush two terms so remember this when you are casting stones on the bad result of our Canadian Election!!!I am very disappointed with the results but I am still a VERY PROUD CANADIAN!This comes after reading insulting US tweets about our election results!
The only consolation we have on this the day after the election id that we have a new NDP opposition!

My voting station was an old legion somewhere in the middle of nowhere... (although I'm sure they would disagree)

I held the door opened for a man who must have been in his 90s. His wife and son were helping him tip-toe up the ramp. I doubt that this gentlemen gets out very often... but he was determined that he was going to vote.

The people in the Legion obviously knew this gentleman, and actually brought the booth to him so he didn't have to walk all the way down the room to the voting area. That's how old, and unable to get around he was.

Yet he was there voting for whatever he believed in.

The exact opposite of that would be my lazy roommate who has a political science degree and couldn't be bothered to vote, because "it doesn't matter who wins. They're all the same".. and probably didn't even get out of bed Monday except to use the bathroom and get something to eat.

Pathetic.

That gentleman... he voted. I'd say that there was a good chance that he probably fought for that right.. for him.. for me.. for all of us.

It frustrates me so much when people couldn't be bothered to vote.

At Last My Love Had Come Along

I brought these posts out of the vault in celebration of hubby and I being a couple for 5 blessed years! How We Met On May,4th,2006 there was a 20% off Mother's Day event in the store that I work and a few days prior (one day before I was scheduled to move into my current residence) my boss had me hand out flyers to all the stores. On my venture to hand out the flyers I came upon a kiosk in the mall that does printer cartridge refills and I handed the flyer to Jason (the manager). When handing the flyer to the Jason I smiled my most brilliant smile (I was in sales mode) and said my rehearsed piece (so as not to stumble over my words like usual). Later that day Jason came into the store and pre-made a basket for his mother with my help and came in and bought the basket on the day of the 20% off event. While we looked over the merchandise I found out I knew his sister (I used to give her facials when I worked at a spa) and that he was an exceptionally nice man. I made him a...

So Sweet You'll Want To Vomit,Deal With It..lol...

J and I have been told by others that we are that couple that are so sweet it makes them want to vomit and that is alright by me, in fact I am proud of it. Not only do I have the best man ever but he saved my life. During the accident I was unconscious and he held my head above water while he had a freshly broken collar bone. J and I had to experience the horrific what if one of us had died that day *shudders* and that only further solidified our boundless love. Here I sit approximately three and a half years after "J" and I got together with less than a year to our wedding day and I am head over heels. I never knew that I could give my whole heart to someone and have it handled with such care. It is wonderful not to have to protect a piece of my heart at all times! Every day he makes me laugh, he spoils me in little ways and he compliments me all the time! At times I wonder how did I ever get so lucky?
