All posts by George Walters

George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

The chemo drug shortage is a blessing

July 7, 2011 George Walters Leave a comment

Interesting article. If cancer is seen as a failure of the immune system, how can poisoning the immune system with chemo and radiation help

On May 13, 2011, the Canadian press reported a chemo drug shortage that left hospitals scrambling. The Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) said: “For weeks, hospitals and pharmacists across Canada and the U.S. have struggled to cope with spot shortages for about five chemotherapy drugs. Many of the medications are decades old, highly toxic cancer drugs that kill dividing cancer cells and are mainstays of cancer treatment.” The CBC failed to mention that these highly toxic drugs kill the patients as well.

So brainwashed are cancer patients and their doctors that they actually believe they are in great need of these poisonous drugs.

Few Tips For The Use of Bounce

July 7, 2011 George Walters Leave a comment

Been awhile since I been on here just lot going on this summer> But doing ok. Here is a few tips on how you can make extra good use of that Bounce Softer for your dryer.

1. It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.

2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don’t get opened too often.

4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.

6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling..

7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

8. To freshen the air in your home – Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

12. To freshen the air in your car – Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan..

14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

15.. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds.. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.

20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.

21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.

22. Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe love bugs off easily with the wet Bounce.

Not A Bad Plant

June 12, 2011 George Walters Leave a comment

You know for most parts of the USA and Canada marijuana is illegal to grow for themselves. I for one believe that it should be readily available to those that are in need of it, or for those that want to grow it for their personal use. Now don’t get me wrong here, I myself have never ever even tried the stuff, but I have been around folks in my younger days that have smoked it. Think they called it wacky tobacco or something like that. For all the times I have seen folks smoking it, it never through my eyes really did any damage to the folks that used it, or for that matter to the surrounding folks. On the contrary, the folks around those that smoked, for most parts one got to know the true person. Funny isn’t it how we today as a society have taken the plant … medicine that the creator has given us and made it illegal to grow or use and replaced them with prescription drugs, man made, some far more damaging to health and society than marijuana usage could ever be. Weed’s a seed that grows in the ground, if source didn’t want it, then it wouldn’t be around. My opinion only
