Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto
Wordless Wednesday
Oh the poor thing!
This poor little puppy is so ugly it’s actually kind of cute. Funny how that works isn’t it?
I don’t know if that some skin problem around the right eye and forehead of if the photo was taken badly and the colour bled in that area. Either way it makes the dog look even more pathetic and in need of some lovin’ doesn’t it?

Now that you know what my garden looks like in the winter when I do it up as an ice garden *wink *wink I thought I’d show you what it looks like in the summer.
These photos are a few years old. My garden is much more mature now and the plants average at least four feet tall:

I caught this common bird, a House Sparrow I think, sitting on the electric wire in my backyard this summer.
Fluffing the feathers:
We keep bird feeders in the garden, and even though we didn’t fill them that much this past year we’ve always had lots of different birds in the yard. Everything from golden finches to sparrows, Blue Jays, crows, and grackles frequent my yard. I grow a lot of flowers that birds like so, other than the bird feeders, perhaps that’s why they enjoy our yard.
1…. People who tell me what I can or can’t write … 2…. In the past week I’ve been told no less than three times that something I’ve written or posted shouldn’t be posted. Most of these things have happened on my Gardening blog of all places. 3…. One person told me why I shouldn’t do any posts for Loudlaunch, and gave me a long description of his problem with them. 4…. Another person blasted me on As the Garden Grows for saying that Toronto’s been warmer than normal in the last two months. Going so far as to tell me how wrong I was and calling me a stupid idiot. Right. I’ll take your words to heart and change my ways especially since you’ve gone so far as to insult my intelligence. Yeah sure. 5…. Then yesterday I was told that the snowman photo that I posted on my gardening blog might be offensive to some people. 6…. I didn’t really think of that photo as being offensive when I posted it. If anything I thought perhaps people might take more offense at the Wordless Wednesday Photo that I posted on this site because it deals with obesity and anorexia. 7…. People that have been reading my sites for a while, and people that actually know me – know that I go out of my way trying not to offend people or hurt others feelings. I do that because it’s my own feelings that often end up getting hurt far more often than most others. Plus, If I really tried to not write anything that would offend anyone I’d have to stop writing and posting pictures completely because just about everything has the possibility of offending someone somewhere. 8…. Bad drivers – people who change lanes or turn without signaling, cut you off, can’t park … you name it, bad drivers make me mad. 9…. People who park in front of my driveway – blocking it. It’s bad enough when it’s my elderly neighbors kids. At least they’re only there for 30 minutes or so and I know where to go to ask them to move, but when it’s strangers? Idiots! 10…. Packages that I can’t open. Have you ever bought something – maybe something small like a package of batteries or an accessory for your cell phone and you notice that the package is three times the size of what’s inside and coated in plastic that you can’t tear with your bare hands? You have to go and find your scissors in order to open it and sometimes the plastic is so thick that even your scissors have trouble cutting it open? Yeah, it’s those kinds of packages that make me mad. 11…. My neighbors and their loud Karaoke. Yes they are still at it and the singing hasn’t improved. Gag me! 12…. Websites with autoplay videos or music. Especially if I can’t find how to turn it off easily. Nothing like visiting a site and getting blasted with music. 13…. As I pointed out in yesterdays Wordless Wednesday I’m not using Mr. Linky anymore because people who take the time to visit my site and leave a link could also take the time to leave a short comment. Leaving a link and running off to the next site is rude. |

Successful therapy?
I don’t know why I found this photo funny.
Anorexia is after all a very serious condition and I don’t want to downplay that here, but obviously this man has a sense of humor if he’s wearing that t-shirt. His therapy for anorexia must have been extremely successful, perhaps the most successful therapy ever.
I don’t think I’m going to use Mr. Linky anymore. I’m tired of people, Wordless Wednesday and other meme participants coming by and leaving a link and no comment. I think it’s very rude.
Besides, with my recent Muser links (just below every post) you get a better link anyway since there is no rel no follow tag around the recent commenters link. Google and other search engines will actually follow that link and it will count to help give anyone who comments here a valid link and hopefully a slightly better page rank in the future. The people who’ve just been leaving a link on my Mr. Linky have been doing themselves (and me) a disservice by linking and running.
