Life

Life
Thought I would change course for a bit to talk about life. I guess now that I’m older I find myself thinking about life lately. Thinking back about being a child and the good times and also the bad times . The friends we met in school and thought we would grow up to be friends to this day. But only they all moved away and never heard from ever again. Life can be cruel sometimes. I know looking way back, that this is not the life I had imagined. Because of unforeseen circumstances I got off course and never got back on course again. And I’m sure that happens to many people. Life always has a way to send a curveball your way. If your young enough to notice you,ve gotten off course, it’s not too late to get back on course. But if your an older adult, it maybe be too late to change paths. So you just keep on the current path your on.But I’m sure we take all of our experiences with us when we die and take to the next realm of life. Life goes fast doesn’t it? When your a kid you can’t wait to be an adult. But when your older you wish you could be a kid again. So remember you only get one physical life. So do it right with no regrets.

Another Episode of Being Frugal

Get a smaller car. You can save thousands by going with a smaller car.

Rent rather than own. Don’t assume that buying is the better investment. Buying is  more costly than renting.

Next look for used items or clothing.Try freecycle.org or craigslist.org. I’ve done this a few times when I needed something.

Find free entertainment.  Entertainment costs a lot of money.The average person spends about $1,200 a year on entertainment.

Cut out the sweets.Even I struggle with that one. I love my chocolate. Too many sweets results in bad health and bad teeth and that costs money.

Drink water.Drink often. It’s good for your health.Eight glasses of water per day is all you need.

Cut out the cell phone. 20 years ago we didn’t have cell phones.A cell phone is not a necessity.

Cut your own hair. Yeah I know that one is kind of iffy. It’s cheap,it’s care-free. It saves money, and time.

Maintain stuff.Take care of what you have, it will last longer. You’ll then spend less on buying new stuff.

Career vs Job

A job is task specific. Alot of times people are hired through an employment agency. Its usually on a short-term or temporary basis. A career is a long-term professional journey. It It is a  job in the same field. An individual can advance according to your skill set. A career can last many years.

What Is A Copycat Crime

What is a copycat crime?

A copycat crime is a criminal act that is  inspired by a previous crime, typically one that has received a significant amount of media coverage. The perpetrator of a copycat crime may attempt to mimic the details of the original crime, or may simply be influenced by the idea of the crime itself. Copycat crimes can include mass shootings, serial killings, and terrorist attacks. Such a crime would be attacks on TTC attacks in Toronto that seems to be happening daily now.  Mainly younger people trying to scare people and succeeding in doing just that. I guess police and politicians are blaming it on mental health.
Yes that’s part of it. But the problem goes back further then that. It starts in 2001 when the Canadian Government came up with section 43 of the criminal code which means a parent can only use minimal force on their child. That’s fine but every young person uses that against their parents to call the police on them if they touch them in any way. Parents aren’t able to discipline their children. I believe that is where the problem lays.
Young people from years ago where much better behaved. Since section 43 its been downhill from there.
