TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Well, boys and girls, here I am sitting on the couch checking through the groups while waiting for the coffee. I got up this morning with a short wave of my GERD acting up, and it passed over after a couple of minutes, and I made the sign of the cross. It was only a typical episode of GERD and not exacerbated by another condition, such as COVID-19. Last time, COVID-19, the flu, the appendix, or the damned teeth. I hope that's the end of it, or it will be the end of me.

It's cloudy, grey, and gloomy out, but it's nice and bright like it's sunny in here. Two LED floor lamps in the living room, a Click and Grow garden, and the two LED ceiling lights in the kitchen and dining room are bright. LED lights that don't draw much power, even in continuous use. Brightness keeps Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) away.

What also helps is that my balcony is green all year round, with, of course, a fake coconut tree and palm plant, flowers, and even Astroturf. When, in the winter, it's bright and sunny and windless, I can go out in a light jacket to sit and sip my coffee. That's one way to go to the Bahamas, in Canada, without leaving home. Oh G-d, am I ever grateful I never moved to the US. I almost did a few times. And I also say G-d bless to all the friends and acquaintances I met when I was there.

You know what? Out of the ten years + I spent on the road when I was younger, I NEVER met a single person who didn't treat me kindly. Damned friendly people, especially in Tennessee. That's where I spent most of my time. Of course, I never had any problems with any of the Native Americans either. I even lived on the res occasionally, in Canada or the US. Didn't matter.

The Ojibwa people, my adopted people, Metis, called me (Manidoonaateshing-ikwe), the turtle lady, because I had my home on my back, my camper, and truck. They do have a great sense of humor, and I love humor. So that's a good indication there are wonderfully friendly people in both the US and CANADA, and anywhere if you look for them. Everyone LOVES a COMEDIAN unless they have a few screws loose in their attic lightbulb.

Well, this ends another chapter in my Online Diary. I enjoy sharing my experiences with the world and hope my writing leaves a message someone can take home. Thank you for dropping by the Tree House News Room.

May G-d bless you all.

What Defines a Comedian?

- Google Search -

A comedian is a professional entertainer whose primary job is to make people laugh through various means of humor, such as telling jokes, funny stories, or performing comical acts. This often involves developing original material, honing a unique persona, and engaging with an audience.

"Done That Already! Does that mean St. Peter will be mad at me?"

And believe me, the more you do it, it becomes like a habit, so, ya know how habits go, it's like an urge to pick your nose in public. The more practice, the more honed it becomes. 😉 👍

Like. "SNAPS 🫰 !" Think fast!"

And so it was with me and any honky tonk bar with karaoke that I came across. Just me and my (mikinaak,) turtle. Never thought of it, but I could probably produce a book or a movie about just those ten years. If you're planning this kind of life, be prepared to work all sorts of odd jobs and just don't ask questions. Even picking aluminum scrap alongside the interstates can buy a meal and gas.

My second home, I mean it.

Thank you, Mr. President, shitty diapers, Orange Pus Bag Butthole commander-in-chief, Chief Bent Feather kink of the cockroach people who worship the flag with the twisted cross. I will not step on your unholy land if Elon offered me all his wealth.

YES, THE VERY SAME ONES THAT SLAUGHTERED MANY OF OUR ANCESTORS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN THEIR BID FOR SUPREMACY.

I saw that documentary on TV so many years ago, but I have no reason to believe it wasn't for real.

I AM too old NOW TO TURN TO A COMMUNIST way of life. What life? No pensions. They don't have pensions there in RUSSIA; you don't work, you eat tree bark. A lady living by herself in patched-up clothes was living in a shack in what appeared to be a garbage dump; it seemed like somewhere in the middle of the bush, it made me sick to my stomach, and it stuck in my mind. The town was not in much better shape than the aging lady's shack was.

Costco is poking the Trump bear

Big public companies have mostly treated President Donald Trump with kid gloves during his second term. They’ve quietly avoided conflict while seeking favor with ornate gifts, large donations to his pet projects and strategic deployments of CEOs to the Oval Office.

That’s what made Costco’s decision last week to sue the Trump administration so shocking. Costco on Friday filed a lawsuit that contends Trump overstepped his emergency powers by imposing sweeping tariffs – and claimed the company is due a refund.

Costco isn’t alone. A handful of other companies have separately sued the government on similar grounds, including Bumble Bee Foods, Ray-Bans parent EssilorLuxottica, Revlon and Kawasaki Motors. But Costco is the highest profile public company to do battle with the Trump White House on tariffs.

Few major corporations have been willing to publicly stick their necks out to combat Trump’s policies since he took office in January. That stands in contrast to his first term, when businesses and their leaders felt more comfortable speaking out – most notably when multiple CEOs quit his business council over comments Trump made in 2017 that downplayed neo-Nazi violence in Charlottesville, Virginia...

• Tariffs are unpopular:
• Trend or a one-off?:

80-year-old diabetic Calgarian shocked to receive $100 bill for COVID-19 vaccine

Primary Care Alberta says billing mistakes are rare, and people can get the charge reversed

A Calgary senior, who says she's had diabetes and heart disease for more than two decades, is fighting back after being billed for her COVID-19 vaccine despite being eligible for a free shot. Sharon Mason, 80, received her COVID vaccine in early November, after calling Health Link to confirm she qualifies for a free dose.

So, Mason — who is on a fixed income, lives in subsidized seniors housing and receives the Alberta Seniors Benefit — was shocked when she got a bill in the mail from Alberta Health Services for $100...

There hasn't been a time I haven't felt the urge to tear some people a new BUTT HOLE, and that is today.

Tell me about it, an error in paperwork almost cost me my life. I was asked if I wanted to lawyer up." I said no, I just want the person who made the paperwork error, actually, an omission, to get another job; that's sufficient. Don't put someone else's life in jeopardy just because someone messed up the paperwork? Good thing I don't have the name.

I think I'll stay in Ontario, even with the thieves choking the Hell out of the windpipe of our health care here in Ontario. "The Land Of The TIEFS, TIEFS, EVERYWHERE TIEFS. TIEFS, tiefs, TIEFS, TIEFS,"* TIEe~ee~ee~eefs~ 🎺 🎷 🎸 🪈 🎻 🥁 ♪♫♭ ~ ♪♫
