You might find this very interesting if you live near the wind turbines in Lowbanks Ontario. The county of Haldimand is putting up more of these in our area…

I borrowed I mean stole this from Lissa’s blog, Moda Lissa. I just thought it was too funny not to pass along.
Put Seniors In Jail – Criminals In Nursing Homes
Let’s put the seniors in jail – and the criminals in a nursing homes!
This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks. They’d receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs, etc. and they’d receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring so the could be helped instantly if they fell or needed assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
The seniors would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counseling, pool and educational training.
Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, P.J.’s and legal aid would be free on request. Private secure rooms for all, with an exercise yard outdoors with gardens.
Each senior could have a P.C. a T.V., radio and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.
The “criminals”, on the other hand, would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised.
They would have lights off at 8 p.m., and showers once a week. They would live in a tiny room and pay $5,000.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out.
Justice for all!

Canada Day – Beer Up the Butt Chicken Event!
Craving a change from traditional burgers and ribs on Canada Day? Fire up the BBQ and try a tasty beer up the butt chicken on the BBQ. George made this one last week for a practice run (so to speak) getting ready to surprise our visitors on Canada Day with a new dish. This is George (hubby) with his Beer Butt Chicken.
As you can see, he used a 2 burner propane BBQ (we don’t like the fumes from the old type BBQ’s) , a 3-4 lb whole chicken (yes, it was Canadian) a can of American beer (sorry, we could not locate a Canadian beer that day, but we now have some Canadian Moose Head Beer for Canada Day) and a vertical roaster to hold it all upright (Made in China, but purchase from the nice folks at Dunnville Home Hardware).
This vertical roaster pictured is from Amazon, but you get the idea, cost is about $7 CDN. It holds the beer can and the chicken up right and catches the juices. Not really necessary if you make a tripod of the legs and beer can, but do use a pan to catch the juices to avoid flare ups.
George, poured about 1/2 the beer out of the can into a glass to sip on while working on his beer butt chicken dish. Make a few extra holes in the top of the can to allow more beer to steam up into the chicken.
Take the giblets and anything else you find in the bird, cut away any extra fat you see. Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
Place on a platter to sprinkle Broil King BBQ Chicken Seasoning inside the body and neck cavities. Brush liquid honey on the outside of the chicken, and then sprinkle more of the seasoning all over the chicken. Add about 1 tsp of the seasoning to the beer; optional is adding some Newfoundland Screech.
Put the beer can in your vertical roaster, then place the chicken butt first on the roaster so it fits over the beer can. Light only one burner of the BBQ and preheat for 10 minutes, bring the temperature up to 350F. Place your chicken on the unlit side of the BBQ and roast for about 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 185F.
So, not elaborate… simple ingredients and a really moist and tasty roast chicken. The challenge is to buy only Canadian made goods for this holiday. Surprise your company with this fun dish on Canada Day!
If you want to get fancy, get some more ideas from YouTube …

Choosing A Wife
A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.
The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new makeup; buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.
The man was impressed.
The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.
Again, the man is impressed.
The third invests the money in the stock market She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.
Obviously, the man was impressed.
The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he’d given her.
Then he married the one with the biggest tits.
Men are like that, you know.
And on another note!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
Thanks to Nancy for this one..TaTA
Country Donuts Memories…
What is a country donut, you say? It’s not the donut franchise on the corner in town… It’s those circular tire skid marks you see on the back roads.
We love the rural life and generally steer clear of crowded urban places, so this is one of the particularities of country living that few people talk about or even know about. Ever notice those circular tire skid marks you see on the back roads? Nowadays, most of the back roads are paved, so they are very noticable.
Country kids, like to soup up the old junkers (or the family vehicle) and go out and test their skills as what we now call “stunt driving”. Have a few lost their lives or got serious injuies? Oh, ya!
Way back, when my kids were teens, unbeknown to us (parents), the neibourhood kids were into this…on a gravel road. I use to say to George, what on earth are those marks on the road? Well, we found out after the oldest kid (16 yrs old) took out the family car with a few of his sibling for company tried his luck… Lucky for all, no personal injuies, however the car was not so lucky, nor was the farmers fence posts. A few weeks after this incident, our neibours lost a son and his passengers were injured!
So, here is a very exciting cat commercial with extrodinary stunt driving…notice the donuts on the tarmac. The vid is in HI-DEF on utube.

A Bad Day Fishing, Is Better Then A Good Day Of Work
When the first of our summer weather hit, the ladies had the itch to get out & enjoy the weather…fishin & campin…where else but in Dunnville Ontario. So they sneaked outta work, left the families behind to get down to “joy of lovely weather” and some good old girl bonding.
The “ladies” are daughters, Leslie Urquhart and Lori Riley and neice Donna Blanke without thier usual business dress and it sure looks like they made the most of what Bing Park has to offer.

Mature Lady Driver
Thanks to my Neice for this one…
A mature (over 40) lady gets pulled over for speeding…
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma’am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I’d give it to you but I don’t have one.
Officer: Don’t have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see…Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can’t do that.
Officer: Why not?
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma’am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma’am, one of my officers told me you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!
