Happy Grouch Day!!!


Apparently....


Semi annual rant

So, I was watching this show w/ my mom the other night. She's on this OLN kick, and she loves to watch travelling shows about these Canadian young adults going off to far away and exotic lands. That is unless she's not watching Russel Petters. I don't really get him. Will explain that in some other post. Well, anyways, I don't remember the show we were watching, but this guy went to Myanmar, Burma. He met this little girl there who spoke english. Turns out she spoke 5 other languages too!! I think they were french, german, spanish, italian and japanese. Now, here's this little girl, who not older than 11, already somewhat fluent in 6 languages with no formal education. As she was showing him around, he asked her if she was a student, you know in school. To which she responded (this is the part where you break out the kleenex) "No, right now, I work, when I older I go to school. My mother can't afford school, so I work". This little girl, at not even 13, has managed to learn 6 languages by herself, and she's wasting her life away making cigarettes!!! The dude even says what everyone who's watching right now is thinking; "the kids where he come from have to be forced to go to school, and here, this little girl wants to go to school (with so much potential!!) and she can't afford to. It's not a right."
That rant was only half of my point. Yesterday, Canada had an election. Only 58% of eligible voters went out to vote. When that point was brought up to some of my co-workers they responded by saying "Well, look at the options, who would want to vote for those guys". WTF?!?!?!?! We get the right to free vote! We get some choice of who we want. We can make mother frickin' difference!! And your bloody response is "look at our options". No, if you really want to look at your options, look at Africa, where they've been under the rule a monster for the last 10 years and they can't even nominate other candidates! Look at twhen they goto the polls, they are fearful for their lives that, b/c voters are being shot, stabbed, killed even for their vote. They know their vote makes a difference, and they are willing to put their lives on the line for that difference. Some Canadians can't even get off the lazy asses to go to the polls that are open until 9:30 pm, to accomodate everyone, to make a change.
You people should be ashamed of yourselves. And I for sure do not want to hear any of you ingrates complaining about the gov't. Go f*ck urselves before you even think about it.
Done rant.

I got a diarrhea......


Baby came home on Saturday with a bag full of goodies. When I was in the shower, I heard her talking to my parents outside, telling them what she got in the bag. Then, she comes bursting in saying "mommy, mommy, i got a diarrhea!!!"!! Following my instinct, I told her to go potty. "It's ok, honey, go potty and it'll make you feel better". So she goes on the potty, and then says, I don't have to go. But I thought she just told me that she had to go. So I say "But I thought you said you have diarrhea". She says she does. She leaves the bathroom, and comes back in with a book. She holds it up and says "Look at my diarrhea". It turn out, she got a diary.

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Why heellllooooooo officer.......

So, I got pulled over for speeding a couple weeks ago. I usually notice the speed traps a distance away and especiallly since this is so close to my house!! However, I was pissed off about my daughter's orientation at her school and other reasons, perphaps to be explained later....maybe not. Anyways, the cop was really nice and ended up reducing my ticket so I wouldn't get any points (*whew*). I had just gotten over a speeding ticket from 3 years ago and my record was going to be clean, and now this shit happens. But whatever. SO there are like maybe 4-5 cops at this speed trap, just randomly pulling over people, and one of them walks by (while I wait for my cop to write up my ticket) and lets me know that my sticker on my license plate is on the wrong side. I wait for my cop to come back and ask him about it. Apparently, there is a fine for that as well, but he's gonna let me slide. Whatever. Go fight some crime. Then when I had finihsed with my bitch ass cop, the other one who was citing another poor unfortunate driver like myself smiled as he walked by.
Let me just tell you, if you know anything about me (and you should by now), you know that I have a weakness for men in uniform. Not like Tim Hortons or Micke Dees, but someone w/ authority. Me likes the powerful men dem.
So, I smiled back at the bastard. Plus, he was nice enough to point out that my sticker was wrong. Prick. Go catch a crook. He then decides to come over and talk to me. Hello Officer........
Basically, he tries to pick me up. Can't say no to a cop, so I gave him my number. We were supposed to go out for coffee, but our schedules conflicted. So no Mr. Officer for me. Doesn't matter anywyas, because I miss Officer Natt....or Nat....or Knatt....Well, whatever, Officer Looking-Good-but-probably-married-and-somewhat-psycho-but-nonetheless-drop-dead-gorgeous.

The financial burden of being single

Sometimes it seems that it's a couple's world.

Hotel rates are based on double occupancy and if you're single and planning to take a vacation at a resort, you'll often have to pay a premium to sleep alone.

In fact, there's resort chain that doesn't even allow singles.

Canadian singles also can have a more difficult financial journey than their hitched compatriots.

There were some 3.3 million one-person households in 2006, and the number of singles in Canada is growing.

Singles say they like the freedom they have to manage their finances by themselves without interference from someone else.

But they also admit they'll likely have to keep working longer because they need the income and access to health benefits.

"One of the big concerns for singles, particularly for women, is the fear of outliving their money," says Patricia Lovett-Reid, Senior Vice President with TD Waterhouse. "Nine out of 10 women at some time in their lives will be totally responsible for their financial future. Their concern is not so much where their money will come from, but that they will outlive it. Singles, unlike couples, have no fall-back position."

Couples have a number of financial benefits that singles don't. (Singles, by the way, refers to people who have never married or become single because of the death of a spouse or partner. Becoming single through divorce or separation is another issue).

Perhaps the most obvious benefit of being a couple is the new rule allowing them to split their incomes and significantly reduce the amount of tax they pay.

A couple also might receive two rather than one set of government assistance programs such as the Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security.

If both partners worked and had employer-sponsored plans, a couple will have a huge advantage over a single in retirement with two pensions.

If one of the spouses dies, assets most likely will pass to the survivor, including RRSPs, RRIFs, pensions, CPP, non-registered investments, and in some cases, insurance policies.

The onus to save and take control of their financial future is greater on singles than it is on couples.

There's an old saying that two can live cheaper than one. In fact, expenses such as utilities, property taxes and housing costs in retirement for a single person are about the same as for a couple.

On the savings side, the single person doesn't have the advantage of a second pension or set of government assistance programs like a couple.

The good news is that as long as you've got income, you've got an opportunity to save.

Even if you're single and getting close to retirement, one of your key goals still should be to maximize your retirement savings.

If you're not contributing the maximum to your RRSP, it's never too late to start. Besides offering tax sheltered growth, RRSP contributions are tax deductible in the year you make them and the tax refund can be used to generate additional savings.

If you are able to participate in an employer-sponsored pension or other kind of plan, make sure you're making the most of any benefits, such as automatic payroll RRSP deductions or participating in an employee stock purchase program.

Whether by choice or not, leaving a job usually results in a substantial cash payout. Used wisely, that payment can help to supercharge your retirement savings.

Another idea is to see if you can take a hobby or what you do in your spare time into an income-generating activity.

One of the best and perhaps most overlooked ways to save money is to reduce spending.

"The real issue is not how much you make, but how much you spend," says Lovett-Reid. "We are seeing singles starting to save earlier and becoming more cautious about taking on debt."

Although the single life has many benefits, taking control of your financial future is your responsibility, and yours alone.
