My word is my bond; poll

I was brought up that your word is your bond. No matter what! Doesn’t matter if you were drunk, felt sorry for the other, coerced, in love, or whatever the reason; your word is your bond.

This poll asks the question “Have you ever regretted giving your word for something?”

A truly enlightening story. Review.

The first review of my fiction novel “Final Decree” was posted on Smashwords today and the reviewer had this to say; “A truly enlightening story”. Thanks for the review, and I’m glad you enjoyed my first ebook. You can read the whole review here.

September is Arthritis Awareness month in Canada

Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in North America. Arthritis can be found in all age groups, from children to seniors, and there are more than 100 different conditions.

I’ve had a severe form arthritis since I was a teenager, when I had to attend a local rehabilitation center to learn to walk properly. The center also helped people with spinal cord injuries, and it took just one day to see the pain and problems I was experiencing was nothing compared to these amazing men and women. Ever since then I’ve always thought how fortunate I truly am whenever my pain become unbearable.

The 100 or more types of arthritis can be anything from relatively mild forms of tendinitis  (as in ‘tennis elbow’) and bursitis to crippling systemic forms, such as rheumatoid arthritis. There are pain syndromes like fibromyalgia and arthritis-related disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, that involve every part of the body. There are forms of the disease, such as gout, that almost nobody connects with arthritis, and there are other conditions – like osteoarthritis, the misnamed ‘wear and tear’ arthritis – that a good many people think is the only form of the disease.

Information on the types of arthritis is here.

“Francis” supports Liz Summerfield killing innocent animal.

Today I received a comment from someone named “Francis” supporting Liz Summerfield lying and killing an innocent animal. How anyone can support a person like Liz Summerfield killing an innocent animal is beyond me.

“Francis” needs mental health help I think. Read comment by “Francis” – with my reply to her in it – and see if you agree “Francis” needs mental health help.

Animal rights organizations like PETA, BCSPCA, and other animal support organizations need your help to stop cruelty to animals and to assist animals in need. Please support these animal rights organizations and/or your local organization. Thanks, Ted.

Sympathy card from PETA

Today I received a handwritten sympathy card from PETA, for my donation to the Punzhu fund supporting awareness of cruelty to animals.  I created the Punzhu memorial fund in honour of my dog Punzhu, who was needlessly killed by my now ex-wife Liz Summerfield during our divorce when she took Punzhu to the South Burnaby Veterinary Hospital and had him put down.

Please support your local, national, or international animal rights organization and help prevent cruelty to animals.
