  • CONFLUSION


     

    I am so conflicted.

    Of course I will get H1N1.  I get everything that goes around.

    But I don't hear any assurance that getting the vaccination will prevent me from getting H1N1. 
    Nor do I feel confident that they've properly tested the vaccine, so I'm hesitant to get poked.

    I wish that they would put the money into Tamiflu and other virus inhibitors rather than into so much vaccine.

  • MIDDLE OF THE ROAD


    At the end of September, I watched the pilot for The Middle (which refers to living in the middle of nowhere).  I knew nothing about it except that Patricia Heaton was part of the cast - I'm a fan of hers.

    What ended up affecting me was Eden Sher's character, Sue.  Around 14 years old, Sue is not good at anything. Sue has tried out for every club, sport, and activity at school, and is finally placed in the school office, making I.D. cards - a club of one.

    Poor Sue.
    It was painful.
    It was like looking in a mirror.

    I am so tired of not being good at anything.  I don't know why I have this expectation that I should excel in some area.  I have worked and worked at giving up the idea, but haven't succeeded there either.

    Being good at nagging doesn't count.

  • FED UP WITH THE NONSENSE


    It won't do any good, but today this message went to Mr. Harper and Mr. Ignatieff.

    This message is from a 'normal' 41-year-old woman who hates the winters but loves her country.
    I vote, I work, I volunteer, I have a good life.

    I am one of those people who is largely disinterested in politics.  The scenes coming out of Ottawa make me embarrassed... bickering and shouting and banging on desks in the places where our elected leaders are supposed to work together for the good of our country and its people?  It seems unutterably ridiculous, a big prank for which someone forgot to call the punchline. This is civilized government?

    It makes me so sad and disappointed to see intelligent and powerful men and women seemingly more interested in advancing their own political party than advancing the good of the people of Canada!
    Why should I want to vote for any of these disappointing people?  There does not seem to be an option worth voting for.

    Take the partisanship out of Canadian politics.  Please.
    I know it is a turnaround from the way things are done, but it is the right way to behave.

    Sincerely,

Swivels
