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.

Health Freedom Within Reach In North Carolina

Here is something that should interest us all.  The Powers That Be now have been trying to stop Alternative practitioners from helping those in needs.  This in my eyes is  a ploy by the medical system as they don’t want the truth to be known that there is alternative medicine out there that good old Mother Nature has readily on hand to help folks.   This morning I see the people of North Carolina have spoken out that they don’t want to be dictated to and are standing up for their rights. Lets hope it works for them.  I for one here in Canada are behind you.  Thing is folks, these things have to be stopped in their tracks if not it will defiantly happen here in Canada.  Well it is sort of, as our doctors here in Canada would never recommend a treatment using natural drugs instead of pharmaceutical drugs.  If they did they would be frowned upon, maybe worse.   Way to go North Carolina.  My Opinion Only

Give Up Pain With Dan Brooks In Port Loring Ontario

 I would also like to say a few words  about a very good friend of mine, Dan Brooks, who thinks along the same line as I do. His advice when it comes to dealing with pain of any kind, is quite remarkable, and I would defiantly recommend you take a look at his web site.  http://giveuppain.com/ I can honestly say, that with what I was going through for the past month, and on going into today, that I would not have been able to cope with out his help.  It is a simple method of how one can deal with pain, directly and affectively.  I should also say here, that his method can also be used for what is in us all, that being……… FEAR along with many others too. While at his Site take a look around, as there is a wealth of info on it, not to forget his book he was written on; The ICUR’s Method To Permanent Weight Loss.  It’s not just a  book totally on weight loss, no….. not by no means, inside you will see how Dan works his magic, so that you can have a happier, healthy way of life.  Also don’t be afraid to get in touch with him and chat to him directly, sometimes a voice is better than just a few words.  Great fellow.

Three Little Pigs

A bit of humour for a Tuesday Afternoon.
A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class.
She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home.
She read. “And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said:”  “‘Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?”
The teacher paused then asked the class: “‘And what do you think the man said?”
One little boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly…”I think the man would have said” – “‘I’ll be a son of a bitch!! A talking pig!”
The teacher had to leave the room.

Cheating At The Pumps

 

 

You know for years now I have said that when one goes into get gas at most stations, it seems that at the very first, the pump is running but no gas is going into the car. Takes a few seconds.  This article below is about what some one else has found, so might say it justifies my thinking.  My sister Barb sent it to me and figured it is worth the read.  My opinion only.

Cheating at the pumps
>
> When you put the gas nozzle into your tank and pull the trigger, listen…
> You will see the numbers adding up, but there is no sound of the gas
> going into your tank for about 3 seconds or about 15-20 cents worth.
> Strange!
> What next?
>  Stop at 10 litres and check the price – read and you will understand…..
