Joseph’s Coat

Well …. It took some time, but I was able to finally put borders on and this project that was started many years ago is now a top.

Now, for something new in my studio ….. a railing.  When the Occupational Therapist came to my home to give me tips for coping with my condition, she gasped when she saw what I was doing to pin stuff onto my design wall.  I have a bench and was using a step ladder to lean onto to help with my unsteadiness when standing on the bench.  She said the step ladder just would not give me the support that I needed.

She gave me some ideas to start with and from there, I hired a carpenter and between the two of us, we came up with this concept and viola, I’m now able to safely work with my design wall once again.

Now, I can easily rest my arms onto the side supports and not worry able falling sideways or backwards.  The project on the design wall has been there for a few months now as I just didn’t feel safe to work on it.

The railing can be moved along the bench enabling me to work on whatever section I need to.  Now I’m happy!  I still get to keep the storage area underneath the bench.

It is now time for politics and a rant from me.  It really irks me when I read about Senator Joseph E. Martin from Maine, who sent a letter along with a proposal for “A Vision For Welcoming Western Provinces Into The United States” to MLAs in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.    Google the proposal and read about it.  

So, Senator Martin …. take your proposal and stuff it where the sun don’t shine!

What a bunch of BS that is coming from imbeciles in the USA.  Elbows up, Canada.  Pete Hoekstra hates it when we do that!  He is up here spewing more BS and lies.  He should be sent home and banned from Canada.  Why in the world would we want to become part of the USA?  Why.

Just a little bit of info here about health care.  It is perfect?  Heck, no.   Will any of us go bankrupt having major surgery or cancer treatment?  NO!  How many people declared bankruptcy in the USA last year?  Over 500,000.  In Canada …. ZERO.  Think about that.

Just to give you an idea about my recent care and appointments.  I have had an MRI and next week will be having a cat scan.  I’ve met with a neurologist for initial diagnosis and then had a nerve and muscle electrode testing done.  Both were out of town.  Then, I was referred to a team of neurologists in Toronto where I had further nerve and muscle testing done.  My costs to me for the medical care …. ZERO.  Since I had to travel out of town due to no specialist in my city, I have received gas as well as hotel accommodation grants from the Ontario government.  I have received just over $1,000 from these grants.  I have a health card that I present for each appointment.  No hassels except to print out the grant form for each appointment and have the specialist sign the forms.  

Sorry if anyone is offended by what I say next …. but your morals just don’t meet our standards here in Canada.  There are millions of US citizens that think like us …. but there are many more millions that have lost their thinking and their way and are eager to support and praise deranged people in authority.  Like rats following the pied piper.

ELBOWS UP, CANADA!

To my fellow Canadians …. Happy Thanksgiving!

Cherish your day, cherish your life and cherish your country.  My country will always be CANADA!
