Did you know?

Only 11% of Canada's land is privately owned. 
 
We need to pay attention to what the gov't is doing with the other 89%.

Cheapskate Pride

Thinking about saving money?  There's no time like the present.  Jeff Yeager turns cheap into chic.

Another one bites the dust?

Just when we think we know something, a new gospel appears.  No need to drink 8 glasses of water a day or turn off our cell phones in hospitals?!  We use our whole brain, even if it doesn't look like it? Is nothing sacred?

Responsibility Project

Liberty Mutual has created the Responsibility Project to spark public debate about everyday moral issues. 
 
 
I  became aware of this because LM partnered with Helium to sponsor a contest.  I just had to get involved with this one!  I've been talking about a revolution of values as the only answer to turning society around, and this initiative seemed to fit into that vision.  The titles were ready-made to get me up on my soap box.  By the time I had written to a couple of them, I decided that I wanted to weigh in on all fifteen.  Too many for the time available before today's deadline, but I reasoned that I had to write them only one at a time.  My record for articles written in one week was thirteen.  It has now been shattered.  I finished up last night.  Would you believe I wrote SEVEN pieces yesterday, and still had time to cook meals and walk on the beach?  There are some questions in my mind about quality, but I'll just wait and see how the ratings go.

Prince or Frog?

 
40 things to watch for on a first date.  These hints might be useful in other contexts too, like sizing up a potential employee or room-mate.
 
Do they really work?  If we profile somebody too much, we may miss out on a great relationship.  To some degree, we need to trust our gut.

Global Love Day

May 1 is Global Love Day.   How can anyone resist the concept of a day focused on love?   I will have to think of some way to celebrate.

Amazing Hazel!

I didn't know this lady existed, until I saw her featured on the Rick Mercer Report.  What an inspiration!  She keeps her skates in the trunk of her car, and slaps a puck around to relax.  When Rick asked if she had any regrets, she said she had never been in a music video.  He did one for her.  She deserves it.
 
This is the kind of person I want to see in the headlines.  She is making a positive difference.
