Read the blurb standing in kitchen and almost fell over laughing.

Unfortunately, my expectations were shattered after I shampooed and my hair was not taken to places it has never been before - it is still "gray"!!

Seems like my feelings about the marriage of P. Charles to his true love are not shared by many (any) but I am of course a hopeless romantic from a way back and tend to look for the good in people - I now digress......
Came across a B&B inn in Glace Bay, N.S. that used to be the old Knox United Church Manse where my parents were married back in 1933. Would be interesting to stay there at some time - it is also a couple of doors away from where my father owned a shoe repair business.

Being ones to remark about those who continually deposit bags and bags of garbage at the curb and have it taken away when the actual number of bags allowable is only 4 plus a defined weight limit we found ourselves guilty albeit in an indirect way. A neighbour had to leave his home because of illness and requested we look after the place since last summer - the son is now coming to town on weekends to clean out the home and fix it up for sale with the resultant large number of bags of garbage (over 24 last week and 15 or so the week before) which he asked to be taken out each week. These bags are very heavy and need to be wheeled to the curb but I must "commend" the garbage personnel who heave these huge bags into the truck without any complaint, at least none that we can hear from our vantage point well distanced across the street.
On the marriage of Charles and Camilla, I am so in favour of this marriage - their love has endured through many difficult times. I think very few people will ever experience that kind of devotion and undying love in their lifetime and it is great to realize that it does exist.

I managed to get through Valentine's Day without any chocolate although I did have a glass of Baileys but that does not count does it - it has been sitting on the shelf for quite some time and I did not wish it to go bad!! A beautiful flower arrangement, perfume and a visit from Emmett and Maddie along with a card they created made my day.
Kevin, you may wish to correct "incompetant" on Elaine's page??

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Noted in the paper this week they are looking at passing a law in the US against droopy pants and the showing of underwear - how ridiculous is that? Mind you I cannot understand the reason for wearing jeans with the crotch down around the knees and baggy long t-ees that look like dresses - do girls really find that sexy?? Then again I come from the James Dean era - now that was sexy and he did not have to show his undies!! I think that showing underwear is so common these days that people hardly notice or in fact really care and certainly there are bigger mountains to climb so to speak. On the subject of laws, why is it that the city claims it is against the law to disturb the peace after eleven at night but they send out equipment in the middle of the night to keep everyone awake, not only once but almost every night for the past week.
On another topic, so excited that Daniel O'Donnell is coming to the Arts Centre in June but wouldn't you know the tickets are sold out already - a real bummer!!!

The best part of February is that it is not January - what can I say? Why is it that women eventually become their mothers and even though we dearly love our moms we are horrified by this realization? Men who notice similarities with their fathers delude themselves into thinking they are charmingly eccentric! When did we pass from travelling around in the winter without warm clothing to wearing turtlenecks and developing a loving attachment to our thermal socks and mitts? Mother-wear it is called!! Thongs and bikinis are replaced with cotton briefs, silky nightwear becomes flannel, and the final sign of terminal mother-wear is found on the feet - those stilettos are replaced with sensible shoes (mostly go-fasters) and high heels become your enemy. Then you have your Yaktrax - Yaktrax are to winter boots what chains used to be to tires. Yaktrax were mostly only worn by runners and mailmen but the broken hip brigade has now discovered them. The reason I am going on about Yaktrax is that my doctor has advised me after a bone scan that my bone density has deteriorated and I am at medium risk for bone fractures and at a high risk to develop osteoperosis. Would I resort to Yaktrax to keep my bones in tact - probably not - would my mother have worn Yaktrax - probably not - am I becoming my mother???

THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A "SENIOR MOMENT" - went to get off a bus last week by the back door and I stood on the pad waiting for the door to open but to no avail and there was no bar to push - feeling kind of stupid I decided to head for the front door before the bus pulled away fighting passengers coming on board. I filed this memory away among my strange experiences until I noted a column in the paper yesterday regarding new buses with rear doors that work by pushing one of two touch-strips embedded in vertical grip-bars on either side of the door, these strips are yellow but not very long and easy to miss. It has been observed that people stand before the door waiting, stomping on a nonexistent pressure pad, waving hands around in hopes of breaking an invisible beam of light and trying everything learned from past bus-door experiences to no avail. If someone does figure out how to get the door open it only stays open for two people before shutting again prompting more stomping and hand waving routines and when they finally make it off usually walk away shaking their heads at the absurdity of it all. Some people just do not take the bus even though it might be efficient and cheap as there are a number of things you have to put up with ie. the people who ride them, buses that break down on the coldest days of winter and learing how to make the damn doors open!!!
