Metrosexuals or Sexually confused?


Metrosexual is a term used to describe a male who carries himself in a feminine way. This also occurs with females, when the term commonly used is that of being a tomboy!

The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis – because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are.
He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference.
Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere.

For some time now, old-fashioned (re)productive, repressed, unmoisturized heterosexuality has been given the pink slip by consumer capitalism. The stoic, self-denying, modest straight male didn't shop enough (his role was to earn money for his wife to spend), and so he had to be replaced by a new kind of man, one less certain of his identity and much more interested in his image – that's to say, one who was much more interested in being looked at (because that's the only way you can be certain you actually exist). A man, in other words, who is an advertiser's walking wet dream!

I have but one question...

Where is our world heading?

Potty Training


With the summer months upon us, I took a pro-active approach in potty training my 28 month old! Not quite 2 1/2, I decided it was far time that she learned to do her little business like a big girl! Something has to be said about the cost of buying diapers for 2...soon 3! It was definitely crunch time!

I allowed her to run around our home, wearing just little panties. After a few accidents, wipe outs and permanent spotting of carpets, she soon realized that she didn't need to feel so wet if she simply sat her little bum on the little white potty.

At first, she would do so but would forget to remove her undies!
It was priceless!
Success was hers at that moment, as she would look for her "High-Five"...wet panties and all! She must have gone through 6-8 pairs of undies that day!

We would send her to bed wearing simply a pull-up and come morning, the pull-up would be dry and she would immediately proceed to relieve herself!

She would spend her entire days in clean underwear, as the accidents were no more!

How proud she was each time, as she knew to remove the little bucket and the flush the waste down into the toilet! High-fives all around!

I am happy to say that by the time her baby brother arrives...overnight pull-ups will be a thing of the past!

I am so proud of my little girl!

Here's hoping I can get her little sister to follow as soon as she starts walking!

Wouldn't that be something!

They do say: "Monkey see, monkey do!"

Keeping fingers crossed!

Interesting Article - Had to share it!


Soy is making kids 'gay'

There's a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it's a "health food," one of our most popular.

Now, I'm a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it's organic. I state my bias here just so you'll know I'm not anti-health food.

The dangerous food I'm speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they're all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore.

I have nothing against an occasional soy snack. Soy is nutritious and contains lots of good things. Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you're also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.

Estrogens are female hormones. If you're a woman, you're flooding your system with a substance it can't handle in surplus. If you're a man, you're suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your "female side," physically and mentally.

In fetal development, the default is being female. All humans (even in old age) tend toward femininity. The main thing that keeps men from diverging into the female pattern is testosterone, and testosterone is suppressed by an excess of estrogen.

If you're a grownup, you're already developed, and you're able to fight off some of the damaging effects of soy. Babies aren't so fortunate. Research is now showing that when you feed your baby soy formula, you're giving him or her the equivalent of five birth control pills a day. A baby's endocrine system just can't cope with that kind of massive assault, so some damage is inevitable. At the extreme, the damage can be fatal.

Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because "I can't remember a time when I wasn't homosexual." No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can't remember a time when excess estrogen wasn't influencing them.

Doctors used to hope soy would reduce hot flashes, prevent cancer and heart disease, and save millions in the Third World from starvation. That was before they knew much about long-term soy use. Now we know it's a classic example of a cure that's worse than the disease. For example, if your baby gets colic from cow's milk, do you switch him to soy milk? Don't even think about it. His phytoestrogen level will jump to 20 times normal. If he is a she, brace yourself for watching her reach menarche as young as seven, robbing her of years of childhood. If he is a boy, it's far worse: He may not reach puberty till much later than normal.

Research in 2000 showed that a soy-based diet at any age can lead to a weak thyroid, which commonly produces heart problems and excess fat. Could this explain the dramatic increase in obesity today?

Recent research on rats shows testicular atrophy, infertility and uterus hypertrophy (enlargement). This helps explain the infertility epidemic and the sudden growth in fertility clinics. But alas, by the time a soy-damaged infant has grown to adulthood and wants to marry, it's too late to get fixed by a fertility clinic.

Worse, there's now scientific evidence that estrogen ingredients in soy products may be boosting the rapidly rising incidence of leukemia in children. In the latest year we have numbers for, new cases in the U.S. jumped 27 percent. In one year!

There's also a serious connection between soy and cancer in adults – especially breast cancer. That's why the governments of Israel, the UK, France and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy.

In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in U.S. supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that "soy prevents cancer." It doesn't.

P.S.: Soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it's perfectly safe because it's fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu.

Rude Awakening!


After a few hours of sulking, crying and sheer frustration...
I had a revelation!

Who am I kidding? Why do I persist to bring close those who simply couldn't give a rat's ass about me or my family?!

This has been a lifelong struggle for me, as I went through life always doing things for others, when those people whom I have helped...were no where to be found when I needed aid in return!

I never wanted anything more than to be appreciated, to be adored, to be praised for the good woman that I am.

Unfortunately, in this pretty selfish world we live in, I have lost myself somewhere along the way, as I continuously gave to those who knew nothing more than to take take take!

I must think of ME and my family, as no one else is doing it!

I have grown tired of my generosity being taken for granted. I am fed up of my kindness falling into unworthy hands!

Many who have grown use to me being around - at the drop of the hat, will soon realize...
I am no longer available!

I will be called every name in the book. Many will find ample reasons to hate me...

But the way I see it, being the good person that I was to them all...

NEVER GOT ME ANYWHERE to begin with!

I know my self-worth and I definitely do not deserve the likes of them in my life!

To put it quite plainly...

Screw 'Em All!

What is a baby shower?


I am presently pregnant with my 4th child. In all the years that I have spent waddling back and forth, carrying a baby between my legs, not once have I known the answer to the question above! Sad to say it, but I will not hold my breath to ever know the answer to that question!

My first pregnancy, the one MOST would consider to be important, came and went with little to no excitement! It was an unwanted baby by everyone else around (including its biological father). I was unmarried and there was no hope of ever tying the knot.

Having left a rather abusive relationship, I spent the next 7 years alone, raising this child all by myself, with little to no help in this world.

Miracles do happen! After so many years alone, I finally met a wonderful man, fell in love, got married 6 months later and our family began to bloom!

Pregnancy #2, came just before we were wed and caused quite the negative reaction from many around...especially from my husband's side of the family! We were unwed and according to them...barely knew one another enough to take on such a massive commitment!

Pregnancy #3, now married...once again, my husband's side of the family were in shock, as all they could do is count the days before our relationship/marriage would fall apart!

Now with baby #4 on its way...still married and very happily at that...still no real positive reaction from my husband's side of the family!

What is wrong with this picture?

Why can't people simply be happy for others?

Family, above all, should be the first to join in and celebrate a new life!

A new addition to the family should be a wonderful gift to all who are concerned!

Not in this case...

I will simply say that Baby Showers are a way for family to celebrate the new arrival of a baby...a WANTED baby...

I guess all 4 children of mine, born and unborn, were clearly unwanted...3 of which happen to be disregarded by my husband's side of the family!

How sad is that?

Rainy Day Fun - At least for me!

What else can one do on a rainy day?

You get tired of watching the same TV shows, day in and day out!

You are bored of all the games stored in the closet! Yawwwwn!

There was nothing more amusing to me, than to make use of the 800 tiny clear elastics, which I purchased at the Dollarama just the other day!

Here's the result!

U-Day


Today is the day, my little precious one!
I will finally be able to have a look at you and to find out a bit more about you!
Are you growing alright? Is everything ok? Are you to be my 2nd son or my 3rd daughter?
All of these questions will be revealed in just a few hours!
I am anxious, to say the least, as I tossed and turned in bed last night thinking of you!
I cannot wait to be able to put a name to your tiny soul and to finally count down the weeks before I can hold you in my arms!
I do not care if you are pink or blue...just be healthy!
I will love you, as I do already, with all of my heart!

Life Of Misery


Can you imagine going through life never truly being happy?
Every morning that you get up, to be royally pissed off that you could still be breathing?
I know of a couple of people, very close to me, who go on living this way, day by day!
Nothing can ever make them happy!
No money, no gifts, no parties or events...everything just seems like such a huge task, that they simply do not wish to be a part of!
This is what you call being in a severe depressive state of mind!
Every wrong that comes their way, is immediately blamed upon someone else!
Never taking responsibility for their own actions or inaction.
The entire world is against them! They always fear the worst will come their way!
To go on with such misery all around, can only make one wonder...why do they keep living?
It's sad to think it, it is sad to mention it...
But the only time these people will truly be happy and at peace...
Is the day they take their final breath!

A child's laughter


The world all around me may crumble and fall.
All could go to hell, as isn't this where we are all headed anyways?
The news speaks of catastrophes, deaths and murders...
How can anyone possibly have a positive outlook on life, when everything seems to be surrounded or involved in some kind of disaster, natural or manmade?!
Each day we get out of bed, trying desperately to focus on tasks at hand, never truly knowing if today might be the day we never come back!
We try our best to not let certain things bother us or affect us, as we try to meditate and think that things could be a lot worse...and believe me they can get a lot worse!
Then, all of a sudden...a child's laughter could be heard!
It's like music, a melody, so innocent, so tender, so priceless!
A child knows not of all the presures we face each day.
This child's only concerns are if she will be fed when she is hungry and given a drink when she is thirsty and if mommy and daddy will always love her!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could all go back to our youth, when simple times and moments were taken for granted?! How foolish we were...how innocent...all we had to do is laugh and all would be forgiven and forgotten!
I would give anything to be able to laugh like that once more...
Luckily, I may do so, at least for a moment...
Thanks to my precious little ones' souls!

Pink or Blue?


Just a week ago, you started to give me signs of life, as you gave me a sudden jolt!

It brought an instant smile to my face, as my hand reached to caress you.

In just a couple of weeks, I'll be able to see you and to finally know a bit more about you.

Pink or blue? This is a question I wish to know the answer to before you arrive.

If you are to be pink, all I can say is that you'll have plenty of fun growing up with two little sisters and hand-me-downs...get use to them now, as we've got plenty!

Now if you were to turn out to be blue...Oh Boy!

Mommy will have her work cut out for her, as I will have to go on a major shopping spree, as we have absolutely nothing blue!

Either way, just be healthy and just be you!

This is all I can ask of you!

Until we see one another my dear little one,

I love you, as I do all of my children!

A year old already!


Seems like just yesterday that I gave birth to my second daughter!

This coming Saturday, she'll be celebrating her first birthday!


I find myself running around, like a chicken with no head, trying to prepare everything for her first party! I have invited more people than I think I have room for...but, never the less...


We'll have a blast!


The food is all prepared and we have plenty of ice on stand-by for our drinkers!


1 year old already...I simply cannot believe it!
