Jake and Niki get confirmed
Monday, 19. October 2009, 21:50:18

Jake and Niki were confirmed yesterday. I unfortunately missed the ceremony, because I didn't want to go to church and cough and hack throughout.
Afterwards everybody went for lunch, at the local diner. The kids had a great day, unfortunately I was unable to to be a part of it.
Amanda took pctures for me. She left to go up North (Kapuskasing) with her father last night. They should be back on Thursday or Friday.
I'll be buying an Xbox 360 on Thursday, the kids are getting excited! I sooo want to play Overlord! I have played it a bit on Mugs' PC, but he gets frustrated because I am the most directionally challenged person ever.
I managed to get a lot of work done today. I was feeling productive. With the renovations going on in my place the dust is insane. I can't wait until all the work is done so I can post pictures for my most awesome friends here on Opera!

Don't worry about me, I always spend the cold months being sick. It's becoming a flippin' tradition!
My kids are very good about my health, and as a consequence very helpful and thoughtful. I'm such a lucky momma!
I miss Amanda like crazy right now, we've been texting each other all day!

I don't believe in church or religion myself, but my kids attend a French Catholic school and consider themselves to be Catholic, so we do the Catholic sacrements.
I couldn't care less what religion my kids chose as long as they chose a Christian faith.

They asked what do I think so Ive told them I have faith and a spiritual belief but not in the church or its people!
They don't read this so I can say what I like upto a point.
Truthfully I believe all religion needs band for the trouble they cause and the moneys they make out of gullible peoples fear, just look at the Vatican for one. I think they need to use that moneys to put things right not tell people to pray to god and put your money in the pot mate god needs it. I could go on but I wont lets just say it really winds me up!
Tab # 26. October 2009, 18:52
It doesn't seem very Christ like to me. This is part of why I choose to avoid religions.
act2bmp # 27. October 2009, 01:00
It all needs to change somehow I mean why should a place like the Vatican have all that and more. Some of the churches here are now play dens for kids so many of them are empty.
Like you say people go starving but what would you change next if you could change Religions errors ?
Celebrities and pop stars who make a lot out this like G8s or Band aids should be willing to give more back I think, do I really believe Bono out U2 needs £500.000000 in the bank or anyone for that matter, we have chosen money over people?
I don't want to switch to politics but people say Religion and Politics the two should never mix then I see President Obama with the Pope and it's a first for me, kind of just popped in there nothing important ?
Maybe he was asking him how to close the prison he said he would the first week he took office
Anyway what can we really do, well I'm not taking it with out saying anything

Chosing one way only to help would require a great deal of thought, but essentially that is why the powers that be are leaders.
I remember as a teen working two jobs to feed my family, And this American priest from a interdenominational church knew I was doing this, and out of the blue he handed me a wad of cash, and said I was truly a child of God. I didn't need the praise but let me tell you it was the very first time in forever that I felt good about who I was. The priests name was Greg Speck...he also did missionary work, this is the way church leadership should work. I had no commitee come to my house and look at the bills, I never even asked for the money! If a church is not doing it's part to make changes in a community then that church is failing as a holy institution.
Changes need to be made globally, BUT starting with one's own community is definately a step in the right direction.
act2bmp # 1. November 2009, 01:05
Your right, I don't think all religious people are no good just its leaders! Greg sounds like a top man like they should be. I have spoken up and out here a few times but I find most don't give a fig or are to raped up in there own thing so I stopped.
I'm including the so-called help organizations we have to help.
Tab # 1. November 2009, 01:19
He is still working with teens and doing God's work...

This guy probably doesn't even remember me..but he sure made a difference in my life.

The world needs more people like him,
Ministers who find a way to contribute to the community and create possitive results.
act2bmp # 1. November 2009, 02:49
I wont go on about him I'll just be thank full there are real people in the world only I'm stuck here now with little way out..
Tab # 1. November 2009, 14:09
I don't know what you mean exactly by stuck with no way out...but it doesn't sound good for you.
act2bmp # 2. November 2009, 01:05
Scum-bags aka Nick Brown have the heavy's on there side and the all leaders here fear him but I don't I have nothing to lose and as for being stuck well I still cant get a proper job in the last ten years.
Working for a penitence I'm lucky to have bus fairs so I don't have much opportunity to save a been these days!
Hard to believe, God I wish that to but it don't take away the fact this kind of slime runs the show on the worlds stage and he has here in his pocket BTW all business goes through this lot first and when they get told not to help you or else what do you think they do.
I wont go on how I know so lets just say his so-called friends spelt it out to me why I couldn't get a job or any of the help on offer.
Governments MPs have alot of money and power to do what the hell they like to the people beneath them I found that out the hard way.
Working for myself is what I do but a mechanic or a builder here they have to work very cheap to get a look in then you get more problems !
Beam me up Scottie
Tab # 2. November 2009, 01:24
My son is taking mechanics, because the tradesmen here are the wealthy ones.
Sorry about the hard luck finding a job. I'm having the same problem because of my language. French Quebecers insist we in Ottawa all speak french to serve them in their language. Of course Ottawa being the Capital of Canada allows this because they happily kiss Quebec butt at every opportunity so my human rights are being violated and that's apparently ok. Governments sure do function in funny ways and recently bend over backwards to minorities who yell the loudest.
I totally hear ya about the money..with five kids to raise on next to nothing-it's hard.
act2bmp # 2. November 2009, 01:49
Good for you boy to Im happy to hear mechanics get well paid there over here when I worked for Audi I got 5.50 per hour and the customer got charged 50 pounds per hour where's fair in that its more now but you can see what kind of scale it on.
I work hard so I want paid fair but like I said you got to play the game like the Officials do or be a criminal to make it here I think now. Everything else just pays the bills
Have you not heard whats been going on over here ? all the MPs have been caught with there grubby hands in the till, so not happy having two houses (one tax free) and up to 10 directorships each and a huge salary they still fiddle there expenses, this to me wont do but what's happened you may ask, absolutely nothing because they all do it.
I'm for a public revolt because the Governments are all revolting
I to wish I could get my duck pond cleaned out a the expense of the tax
payer thats one expense we could all use
Tab # 2. November 2009, 03:15
Your wage is minimum here..apprentices might get that...
Mechanics here are in very high demand.
Thanks I will fin a job eventually..but in the meantime I got a mortgage and five kids....
