"It's a hot summer afternoon outside Toronto's City Hall and amid the throng of picketing unionized city workers, a dark-haired young woman with a strike sign hanging from her neck is as worried about her wallet as her job."

How many weeks of walking the picket line does it take before you've lost in income what you fought to keep in the contract, and end up behind in the game with less than you started?

Landlords and Human Rights Violations:

"Even when rental housing is available, thousands of marginalized individuals and families cannot make it through the door," says the report by the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation."

See, this is why the City should be responsible for affordable or low income housing.

The article makes all landlords sound like mustache twisting racists.
I don't think it's as simple as that.

Todays' LOL

Investigators believe Sahel Kazemi, 20, bought the pistol from a private owner Thursday night, not long after she was busted for drunk driving in an SUV with McNair.

Two days later, on Saturday, cops found the weapon under the lovers' lifeless bodies in a luxury condo in downtown Nashville - an apparent murder-suicide.

The former Tennesse Titans icon died just 6 miles away from the home he shared with his wife and three children.



See more pictures of her here.

She has a body to die for...apparently.

I was there...I didn't stay for the whole thing because it was pouring rain.
They were selling everything from Diana Ross T-Shirts to Diana Ross joints...LOL



Some of these wall decals are rather nice.
IKEA sells some (scroll to the bottom of the page)...not like these, but kinda nice as well.

In my dreams this will happen...

So, I caught the episode below of Hitched or Ditched, and I was torn.



While Torrino's mother is totally a racist, I kinda see some of mom's points.
Ok...not the white devil one...that was stupid...but, when she pointed out to his girlfriend El Lana that she never cooked, or helped out around the house when she was living with Torrino at their home, I was feelin' mom.

I dunno, this whole "I don't cook and clean" badge of honour many 20something women are wearing is really baffling to me.

El Lana, states rather firmly to Torrino's mother that she "doesn't do/enjoy that"...and then starts crying and playing the victim card when his mother states her concerns about the kind of wife she thinks El Lana will be to her son.

Torrino's mother calls her manipulative, and I can see what she's talking about.
Anyone who stands up for herself and states pretty firmly all the things that she will and won't do, generally isn't the kind of person who dissolves into a puddle of tears because someone tells her a few things.

Unless she's manipulative.

Listen, if you love the person you claim to love, you at least make an effort to not put them in a position of hurt, and difficulty when it comes to the people they love other than you..no?

Would it kill her to take a cooking lesson or two from his mother?
Perhaps bond a bit with her?
Help tidy up after dinner?

Jesus Christ...I just don't get it.

If I got started on all the things my West Indian Mother in Law taught me, there wouldn't be enough room on this blog...and while I was learning all those things we became family.
