Ms. B. Discussions and Reviews

Let me start off by saying this is a purely bias post based on the fact that I am a Montrealer and a proud one at that. This past Sunday the Alouettes took on the BC Lions in Montreal at the Olympic Stadium; a.k.a. the big O. Unfortunately I was not able to watch the whole game. Got home sometime during the third quarter. Montreal already had a huge lead in the game. They have a tendency to slack off in the forth quarter. I can’t lie about that. This time was different as they got another touchdown and sealed the deal by beating the Lions 56-18!

Soon after the eastern finals, the west got their game started. The Calgary Stampeders played in Saskatchewan against the Roughriders. I had no interest in watching this game. I only hoped the Stampeders won because it would have made for sweet revenge. In 2008, the Grey Cup was in Montreal and the two teams involved were the Alouettes and the Stampeders. Last year the Stamps stripped Montrealers of a home win. Well, I shouldn’t say they stripped us. We just did not have it in us to win. This year, the Grey Cup is taking place on Sunday, November 29TH in Calgary. Too bad the Stampeders are not even playing haha. Being a Montrealer who had to live in Calgary for five years against my will, I have a love/hate relationship with the city. (After I graduated high school I moved to Calgary because my mother was transfered there a year prior. She allowed me to stay in Montreal to graduate with my friends.) While residing in cow town I met a few good friends that I still keep in contact with so that’s the love part. The hate part (no offense to Calgarians), it just was not my kind of city. Smaller, less multi-cultural, nothing special about the food and more but I won’t go any further.

Oh well, regardless I will be having my football food ready and watching the Grey Cup on TSN HD this Sunday. It’s been a while since Montreal has had a parade due to a sports team winning. I know a lot of people say you can’t compare the CFL to NFL and I agree. There is more money in the NFL. What do you expect? Our soccer team, the Montreal Impact took the grand prize this year. Now it is time for the Alouettes! Wonder if the Habs can do it too? Is that too much to ask for?

 Over the last few years the debate about vaccinations has been increasing. Since the H1N1 virus showed up out of no where during the summer, vaccines are what everyone is talking about. I’m not against every single vaccine there is out there. What I am against is taking all these shots and not knowing what the side effects are. I guess you can figure out I’m not getting the H1N1 vaccine. I KNOW of too many “ingredients” in it that make me say no. Mercury and others. If you don’t believe me, ask to read the insert that comes with the shot. Some people have become paralyzed after taking the shot, some violently ill. 10, 20 years from now, what kind of side effects will develop? I’m the kind of person that ask a lot of questions. If I can not get any logical answers, something is not right. Although I am asthmatic I refuse to get the shot. All you see are the few people that die from this swine flu. Did you know more people die of the regular seasonal flu than this Swine flu?

A couple of weeks ago, here in Canada they started opening immunization facilities. People were lining up for hours! Hours! Guess who was surprised? The government. Why were they so shocked when the media was blowing it out of proportion? Plus the health minister was saying there would be enough vaccines for every Canadian. Yet by the end of last week, the country was running out of the vaccine? Preposterous! The “demand” was created. When the supply got short, it sent people into a panic. Therefor creating even more of a demand. The same thing happens every Christmas with whatever the hottest toy is that year. It is the same thing!

If I had children, I don’t know if my thinking would be different. When it is just you that is one thing but when you have children, you do and think differently in regards to everything. I am not speaking for those with children. I can not tell you not to give your child the vaccine. Further more I can not tell anyone what to do. All I am suggesting is to think for yourself and do your own research. Don’t take what you read in your newspapers or on TV as the Gospel. Eat as healthy as you can. Take your vitamins D, C and A. Plus omega 3’s. Get sufficient sleep and exercise. Two weeks ago I was sick. Not the flu. Only a bad cold. I believe because I have been on the previous regimen that I mentioned for the last few months, it helped to build up my immune system. You know the stages you go through when you have a cold? Well I went through them but a lot quicker than normal.

Please do not take part in the hype. Be aware of what is going on and do what YOU feel is best for you and your family.

Before you read the rest of this post, I think I should write some kind of disclaimer.

This post is meant to make you think outside of the box. It is controversial and thought provoking. It has nothing to do with taking sides, any particular religion or faith. If you are wondering why you never heard of this story before it is because the mainstream media did not want you to know. CNN’s Larry King Live was interested in having Charlie Sheen on the show to discuss the questions of 9/11. However, they could not find anyone from opposing opinions to come on the show and debate the issues with Charlie Sheen. The dialogue you are about to read has NOT happen for real. It has been written by Charlie Sheen as a way to get the public’s attention. It was released on September 11, 2009. Whether you believe the catastrophe of 9/11 was an inside job or not, you can not say many questions are still not answered. Many of the victims and their families would like to see the investigation re-opened. After you read this I’d like to know your opinions. Let the discussion begin!

 Finally posted my first video for my Avon YouTube channel. It is a place where I will be posting videos of products that I actually use and love. Seeing is believing. Instead of just telling you about it in my blog I wanted to have a more one-on-one experience with you. More videos will follow in the near future since there are different catalogues that come out often. As soon as I’m able to send e-brochures, those that don’t live in the same city will be able to shop Avon with me.

 Today is turkey day in Canada. Yep, Thanksgiving. It’s amazing how so many Americans did not know our Thanksgiving is not the same day. More than a month difference. If this is news to you, then you just learned something . In this edition of Motivational Mondays, I want to focus on the positive things and people in each of your lives.

Think about this. No matter what your situation is at any given point, there is always someone else in a situation worse off than you.

What that means is, do not take for granted the good that is in your life at the present moment. It can be as simple as being thankful for the ability to breathe every day. Good health, financial security, family, friends, a good education, clean water. The list can go on. When you are thankful for what you already have, it can give you motivation to continue living life. It is all about your mentality. If you change your mindset into a more positive one, you open yourself for more good to come in.

Here is something I would like you to try. Every day for the next month. Write down 2 things you are grateful for. Keep this piece of paper and make a list. After a month, you will see how many blessings you have been fortunate to receive.

A few quotes I want to share with you.

Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. - W.J. Cameron

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one. - Mother Teresa

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living! - Amanda Bradley
