When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.

I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his Biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey, I love burned biscuits.” Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned.

He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides… a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!” You know, life is full of imperfect things… and imperfect people. I’m not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. So…please pass me a biscuit. And yes, the burned one will do just fine!

Pass this along to someone who has enriched your life… I just did! Life is too short to wake up with regrets… Love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don’t.

Follow Up – Joshua and Toby

It’s been 3 years since Joshua and Toby were shown on the first video. This is an interesting and touching follow up 3 years later. Joshua loves cats and dogs.

This video reminds me of Lee and Jaegar. The dog acts and looks just like Jaegar but he is yellow instead of black.

Canada Pensioneres Revisited

Canada Pensions…. 
Only in Canada

*     
It is interesting to know that the federal Government of Canada allows :

  • A monthly pension of : $1,890.00 to a simple refugee
  • plus :                                 580.00   in social aid

                                             ==========

  •  A grand total of :         $2,470.00    monthly

                                                X   12       months
                                           ==========
 
                                          $28,920.00   annual income
 

·
         By comparison, the Old Age Pension of a senior citizen who has contributed to the development of Our Beautiful Big Country during 40 or 50 years, CANNOT receive more than :

  •     Amount/month          $1,012.00    in Old Age Pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement

                                              X   12 months
                                          ============
 
                                                                       
$12,144.00          annual income

  •    A difference of :         $16,776.00          per year



*     
Perhaps our senior citizens should ask for the Status of Refugees instead of applying for Old Age Pension.

*   Let us send this message to as many Canadians as possible, and maybe the allowance of refugee could then be reduced to $1,012.00, and that of our Canadian pensioners raised to $2,470.00 per month.     (who actually deserve it) the money that they have been paying in income taxes for 40 or 50 years,


                                          AN INCREDIBLE NONSENSE !!!
