Comment on Icy and snow by Little Miss

I, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, am a fan of the Winter Olympics. It’s probably likely because I am Canadian, and the Olympics are being held in Vancouver. You can’t help but feel great about your country when there are hundreds of thousands of fans screaming whenever a Canadian comes onto the ice or the hill. And the commercials that go along with the games really drive that feeling home.
Because that’s what the Olympics really are all about- being proud of where you’re from. Although it’s great to win 8 gold medals (Canada’s count as of today) it’s still great to watch an athlete represent your country, even if they only make it to 3rd, 13th, or 23rd place. And even though Australia may not have the best winter athletes or be involved in that many winter sports, you can be damn proud that your country is being represented and cheer them on, no matter where they stand.

You actually have two golds over there in Aussieland! Torah Bright won right off the bat, and then that Lydia girl won the aerial as well. Everyone knows I’m not a fan of winter sports, but it’s nice to see the success of some compatriots!

They SHOULD be a big thing! I wasn’t allowed to race, since I was a mere girl, but I was allowed to ride things down hills, which was more fun than anything.

In some parts of the states, soapbox derbies are still a big thing. Although a lot of it has transferred to pinewood derbies which the boy scouts do and involves model cars that kids make and race.

I don’t have the right words. I know it was horrible but I can’t know just how horrible.

Bloggers, tweeters, facebookers, and various other online voices have told me more than any of the major media ever did about the whole event. It’s been incredible to read the pieces this weekend, to hear the real voices talk about what they went through. That’s what matters, those of you telling the stories so people don’t forget.

Hugs

Wooooo!!! Fantastic blog post!

It’s funny though – would there be as much fuss about Mo’nique if she had been a white, slim woman?

Hello there!
I’ve just seen an ad on Facebook (flagged up by another Plurker) by Gillette,
attempting to pressurise our menfolk into shaving off all their body hair.
I protested and then got “Aren’t you into manscaping?”. No I’m not…I
love my hubby’s body hair.
I’m a natural blonde and I don’t shave my legs as my leg hair is so fair, it doesn’t show any way.
There’s too much pressure in the media and from each other to conform to some imaginary ideal. By all means, shave or remove hair if you want but don’t get nasty with others who don’t.
Be yourself, you’re a human being not a faceless thing for the advertisers to sell stuff to. It’s keratin, not something unspeakably evil!

I walked in to Spotlight, and they had, on sale, PURE WOOL in orange and dark yellow. PURE. WOOL. Had to buy it, have to make you a thing with it
