The Giving Addiction

-



Hello 2012!
Here's wishing this is the best year yet, for everyone!

And here we go...

I'm at WM:
"Do you want to give a dollar to today to (fill-in-the-blank) charity?"
"Sure."

I'm at LCBO, WF, SDM:
"Will you give (fill-in-the-blank) $$$ for (fill-in-the-blank) charity?"
"Sure."

Why do we do this?
We'd love to say it was because we're perfect, but you know that's not true.
The real reason?
Because giving feels good.
Just kidding!
It's because it pays dividends, fool!

Perfect example:
For the holiday's, the OMHS held a "gift snatch":
We gave a basket with:
Bag of Starburst
Bag of Sour Patch Kids
Bag of Oreos
Bag of Cheesies
6 pack of Coke Zero
Large Kit Kat
Vanilla Wafers

(referred to as a "stoner picnic", fittingly)

This picture is what we got in return.
This is what we call: Candy Karma



We've definitely become addicted to giving, and it's gotten under our skin.
Best cure for the blues? Give it away, give it away now!












To do list for 2012 includes:

Staying for a relaxing, and compassionate weekend at:

Visiting old friends from the OMHS at:

And number one, on a list full of #1's is:

To anyone who makes it down this far, please note:
We still have copies of our 1st printing of The Compassionate Experiment Cookbook.
Not many left, but anyone looking for some quick, easy and tasty compassionate recipe's, hit us up, and we'll send one your way.

We'll be adding some new photo's and videos soon, once the computer's fixed.
Been saying that for months now...

Mr. Peabody says: "See you soon!"

Ladybird Animal Sanctuary

A couple weeks ago, we had in our living room, three big hearted individuals, Melissa McClelland , Janine Stoll and Lisa Winn , from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary . The following is the transcription of the interview. You can find the video version up above. How did it all start? “I’m an animal lover, and a full-time touring musician," said McClellan. "And I think I just wanted part of my life to focus on my love for animals, because so much of my life is wrapped up being on the road. So I brought it up with these girls, and we all thought it was a great idea, so we’ve been talking about it for a few years now.” “I had already been doing it small scale," said Winn, "because I’ve worked at animal shelters, and had already been rescuing and fostering for a number of years.” “I felt like the three of us come from different backgrounds, and we work so nicely together," said McClelland. "Our personalities, we just click as friend. And Lisa has the background w

Best Metal'ish albums of 2022

We use the term Metal’ish because some of our favorite albums could be considered metal adjacent, not metal necessarily, but awesome none-the-less and worthy of this list. We are always on the hunt for the next awesome metal album and this year there was no shortage of great stuff, in fact, this list could have been a lot longer. Finding all these albums on our own would be near impossible. What we do is wait until all the YouTube metal nerds put out their metal lists and we watch them - 20 or so videos so far -  and any albums we haven’t heard yet, we check them out. Basically we let them find all the good albums that we missed and then check them out and see what we think. The criteria for this list is easy: is it a kick ass album? Yes or no? If no, then it’s probably power metal. If yes, we listen to it until we get sick of it. Anyways, here is the list of top metal’ish albums of 2022. We are reversing a trend and instead of making you wait to see what is #1, we will just start ther

Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend.

I must have picked the right font, because it looks like Gop 10 ! Ok, it's no surprise that I'm procrastinating writing my newest project, though I did write a short story for the Toronto Star Short Story contest, which means I still haven't given up my dream of becoming a successful author. Lucky for me, being a successful author means: completing a project I start. Also, it should't come as a surprise that I'm single, so I've compiled a Top 10 list of the reasons for this. Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend. #10 - I trim my toenails with my teeth. #9 - When I pulled my laundry out of the dryer, I didn’t find any underwear, that’s when I realized I was still wearing the pair I washed last week. #8 - I’m broke and broken. #7 - I run like a girl and sit down to pee. #6 - I cut my own hair. #5 - I cry when I watch ‘The Notebook’. #4 - I’ll eat anything that’s free. #3 - I’ll drink anything that’s free. #2 - The minute I realize I’
