After seeing the proliferation of the use of pepper spray to break of the #occupy movements sit ins, all I can think of is the infamous quote from Jean Chretien after a similar incident by the RCMP, “… For me, pepper, I put it on my plate …. ” , ZING, what a comeback. I am kind of disgusted by the use of the spray on peaceful folk who are simply sitting in, but that is only my opinion (but I also do like pepper on my steak too).
This bleak November in Ottawa (in terms of sun light) tends to make folks a little melancholy due to the lack of vitamin D and sunlight. We must push through it and know that soon the days will start getting longer again (and when that happens, it is only four months until spring—oh dear, that is more depressing).
After peppering Twitter with a bunch of oldie-but-goodie posts, here are some of them from the past week:
- I do actually post pictures of myself and in Sunday Treasures there is an older picture of myself and my son in the playground.
- It is imperative that you back up your computer, whether you use it for your finances or not, just don’t live without a backup.
- My stand on financial advice now is I don’t give any out directly, other than get out of debt, however I do remember the Worst Financial Advice I ever gave.
- Christmas is coming, but are you planning the title alone causes me to cringe with fear.
- Patience is a virtue but sometimes you can wait too long and The Good Wine: A personal finance parable outlines one example in my life where that was the case.
- For those of you confident you can tie your shoes and count by 2’s, I give you You are Doing it Wrong, a useful video showing you might be mistaken.
- Our compatriots at the Freaknomics site gives us The Economics of Gold-Digging, a useful discussion if you plan on just trying to get by on your good looks.
Enjoy your Sunday!
