The pro Trump memes and anti Democrat memes I take with a grain of salt. That's high feelings and passion.

The direct hateful memes and comments about the woman's march. This sluts and baby killer propaganda is exactly why a misogynist got elected.

The hateful personal attacks and women turning on one another. You can be a Republican and a Trump supporter without attacking a whole gender.

These marches were FOR woman's rights, gender equality and fair pay, fair health care. Rights that our gender had to claw for.

To make it about abortion and attacking the women who courageously spoke about their morals and past behavior is bullying, at worst a hate crime.

Putting up a picture of a burning limo from Inauguration night that the same group who caused the hockey riot has claimed as their own, is just smoke and mirrors.

Love him or hate him, love her or hate her but RESPECT the women who made it possible for you to voice it online as you own original thought.

Attacking your whole gender based on a few *Trumped* up alternative facts doesn't make it OK. Millions of women marched from all over the world because it's not OK.

They did it peacefully, they did it out of love for their fellow sisters who have been abused, raped, unable to afford cancer screening and mammograms, to get counselling, who get paid less than a man for the same job. They did it for their gay children and their *not white* nationalities.

That's the one that gets me, the *registering* if you're Muslim. Smacks of Nazi Germany. That closed fist rankles me too. The new salute in my opinion.

It works both ways, if you want to send people back where they came from I guess I'll have to go to Sweden, even though I was born in Canada. Oh no, half of me has to go to Scotland!

A few of my more vocal *friends* will have to leave the States because they're immigrants too.

I'm not a baby killer, I'm not a Femi/Nazi/tard (wow offensive) I'm a Mother and Grandmother from Canada who has benefited from our health care system, and enjoyed the freedom to have a gay uncle, gay cousins, native cousins, and *gasp* a circle of female friends from all over the world.

Some cheated, some had therapeutic abortions, some were beaten, some raped, some molested, some are gay, some have cancer, some are dying, and some are brown.

I love them all.

However, I do not condone or feel love for any woman who would post such garbage. Especially when I know for a fact that they had/did many of the things on my list. Plus they've come home to Canada when they need operations and prescriptions.

We don't feel comfortable being told by a man (or anyone) when and where we can get heath care. The same men who thought that women could control when and where they had their periods, and (my personal fave) that women all have their period at the same time!

I know I'm not American, (my Dad was, so was the persecuted gay uncle, and grandparents) but if you think this Presidency will not effect us in Canada, you're so wrong.

Already talking NAFTA and pipelines and signed the gag order on abortion.

What's next?

All you fat ugly Canadian women have to go home? How does that feel?

Think about your words and hateful propaganda because I will never forget what you said and posted. I'll never pretend that it's not there when we see each other.

This wasn't easy for me to write, I'm all about screening what I see from certain people, blocking, unfriending.

I could have done this privately but that's not good enough in this case. When someone sees that we're friends on Face Book I don't want them to think I'm like minded.

Be Kind.

Go here, read this and remember why you marched ladies.

Be kind, don't turn on one another.

No more stooping, 

No more hate,

No more compromise,

RESIST!

Be Nice.

If you can't say it to someone's face, don't post it.

 I've been reading comments about Meryl Streep. She's being called down for her Golden Globe acceptance speech.

 In her speech she made it clear that mocking one another for race, creed or ability (disability) is unacceptable. She basically just reminded us of what out parents told us when we were 3. Be nice, play fair, show some compassion and acceptance for other people and their differences.

 She also didn't name him or call him names while doing so.

Now the people who are slamming her for this are in turn being insulted by people who like her. That's right, I've seen it several times. 

The people who profess to hate what Mr. Trump said or did are now attacking the people that didn't like what Meryl said. Thus completing the circle.

 I'm sure Ms. Streep didn't give such an impassioned and heartfelt speech to have her supporters do the same thing she abhors.

 I also read today that people elect who best represents them. Judging by all the hate filled comments from all sides we can see how Mr. Trump got elected. 

Like him or hate him, respect one another's right to do the same.

Dona Nobis Pacem 2016

I am so disheartened this past few months, mostly it's due to the American Election. 

The negativity, the threats, the bitchiness, the rhetoric and the out and out meanness. Most of that from the candidates themselves; however if you happen to have an opinion on either candidate you open yourself up to a slew of negative threatening comments.

The comments are from your so called friends. The people you profess to know and can't live without. The family of social media you've surrounded yourself with. People in your own blood family, people in your heart family.

At this point I don't think it matters who wins as I feel we've all already lost. You the people (yeah you Americans) have, as my Granny would say made your beds. I honestly pity you.

 Either candidate or Party is moot at this point, it's not the destination it's the journey. Your journey up to this election has been fraught with pot holes and instead of properly fixing them you put up some bumpy road signs and moved right on up the road. 

So Peace in 2016? I hardly think so, we've got to wash this road grime and snake oil off of ourselves.

Going to take my negative thoughts out for a walk, blow some air through that stink.

Be nice.

Some days the sadness is like a wet fog.

It swirls around my face, covers my eyes, ears, and mouth.

I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't see.

It's isolating and lonely.

It's comforting and right.

It's a living breathing entity, this sadness.

It's on me, it's in me and sometimes it's me.

The only me.

I'm tired.

Days

Most days I can get out of bed, spend an hour on the computer and go kick some serious ass on the treadmill or out on the track, do some housework or visit friends and cook a fab supper for Buzz.

Some days it takes me longer to get out of bed and maybe I'll do a little less on the treadmill and need a nap before I make supper,but I still kicked that days ass.

Other days I can't jump out of bed, I can get up though and stretch a bit and maybe if I'm not too sore I can do the laundry or sweep the floor. That's about it, no walking on other days. I still however kick that days ass, because I got out of the bed. I may go right back into it, but I got up and kicked that days ass to the best of my ability.

These days I've learned to listen to my body, and actually do what it needs.

Luckily other days are becoming rarer but they do still happen. I'm gonna go kick some ass....gently.

Hello friends and family. Welcome to my wall of positivity and love. If you agree with any of the following statements, I invite you to unfriend and block me. #1 All Muslims are terrorists. #2 All Priests are pedophiles. #3 All Southerners belong to the KKK. #4 The Burka should be banned in Canada. #5 All refugees are ISIS members. #6 The Westboro baptists are a great example of Christians. #7 Only Christian prayer should be allowed in schools. #8 All Irishmen are drunks. #9 All men are rapists. #10 I'm being persecuted for my religion in Canada. #11 All turbans, Hajibs and Yarmulkes should be banned. Seems silly to lump in the KKK with a Burka eh? Well that's what you're doing. All these memes and blanket statements based on no factual information are just silly. That's right, silly, and hurtful and racist. Should take care of our Veterans before we open the border? We're trying! 9 years of Mr Harper cutting services can't be fixed in a couple weeks. Give it a chance. No one is forcing you to be un-Christian either. If you want to say Merry Christmas and have a Christmas tree go ahead. You live in Canada, you can do that here. There are as of 2013, under 300 homeless veterans in Canada. Not thousands, we live in Canada not in the USA. You put up memes about supporting our vets but the pictures are of Americans and British vets. Yes we should take care of our own first, again with the cuts and again give it a chance. It's on all of us. Give your umbrella away, make someone a sandwich, donate your old coats, Hell buy a new coat. These are all things you can do yourself to ease a homeless person's misery for a few hours. The refugees from Syria are homeless and running for their lives, seems to me it's just common decency to help them. They'll be vetted, maybe one rotter will slip through, maybe not. That's what they want you to think with the ID that conveniently popped up. They were Belgian Nationals that terrorized Paris. ISIS is a scourge, (I'm not all pie in the sky here) and hopefully it'll be dealt with. You can't throw the whole pot of spaghetti out because the cat licked the edge of the crock pot.....(wait that was here) I dislike the Trojan horse meme, I dislike the fake news stories about Syrian rapists getting European women. Come on people give your heads a shake. The real story is about gangs roaming Paris beating on non-whites. We're the problem, not the poor Syrian running away from total destruction of their homeland. Lets be nice, and fair and try to help one another. I don't want to hear anything negative. Keep it to yourself, or delete me, please. So post your songs and poems and positive stuff here on my wall. Love, peace out.
