Well, was there a little bit of you that was soo relieved when you got up, this morning, December 22nd, 2012??? hahaha! I think there was a huuge part of me that was relieved we're still all here, everything's intact. Did you have a quick look out the window, make sure everyone else is okay, too? Trees still there?? Blue skies?? lol! Ugh, that makes me so mad, though, that the Mayans had us by da balls for a while, there... was scary, right?? Then all those weird things and bizarre false reports in the weeks leading up to 12-21-12? Grrrr.... that's terrible! What about people with weak hearts, or slightly weak minds (ruh-roh, is this where I come in??? hahahahaha!) Oh, I jus' happy to be alive, I guess, and even easier to amuse!! haha!
Well, if there is anything good to come out of this, and I think it had a tremendous number of people caught up in it, nobody really wanting to say exactly how worried they were, but if there is something good to come out of it, I hope it is a giant change in the world, a huge shift in the direction of greater peace, love, understanding and compassion for others (and for ourselves - make peace with yourself, first, right?), since wouldn't that go further than almost anything else in living in peace? Oh, and money, too! Come on US Gov't, keep us off that Fiscal Cliff!! Would be nice to know for sure that is solved - it's like one giant problem is averted, now it's time for the next giant problem to be averted, too... although, a little bit of irony that I'm hoping problems are averted - would be waaay better if all the problems were actually solved!! lol!
Oh, and you know what is terrible, too? Those poor old Mayans, they didn't have too much to do with all the craziness around this whole 'end of the world thing'... they were just workin' away, cutting down trees, makin' an elaborate calendar - man, can you imagine how much work (and chocolate!) wouldda gone into making an end of the world Advent Calendar?? Terrible chocolate, anyway - I jus' throw my wee chocolates out, after trying to figure out what's in the picture on the wee square of crappy chocolate! One of my chocolates in my Advent Calendar, this year, had a little pair of ovaries on it - there's nothing that spells Christmas like a little pair of ovaries! hahahaha! Maybe they were Christmas Ornaments, in the shape of ovaries!! hahahahaha! See?? Easily amused! lol!
Okay, You, lovely YOU, go enjoy your day! Remember to do that 'I declare' thing - seems to work! lol! I declare I'm gonna have a great day!' There, good enough! Seems like a great day to go for a little greatness, right?? And all right before Christmas - good, cause I really wanted to know what's in me Christmas presents!! hahaha! Merry Christmas, Oh Happy Day, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, and all that! Ailsa xox

Safe Driving in the Rain or Snow #DriveSafely #SafeDriving #SlowDown #Leave3Spaces #CruiseControl #SunGlasses
All Sorts of Great Deals for You! : )
I got this email from my Mum, and it's public service information, and if it saves a life or an accident of any sort, that is fantastic. Pass it along to your friends and family, or post to Twitter or Facebook. We'll just get the message out there. The whole bit about not having your Cruise Control on when it's raining is critical. You know how you can be driving along on a longer road trip, and you've got your car on cruise control, and all of a sudden you drive into some rain... good to know to take the car off cruise control right away, so you'll have better control of your vehicle, and lessen the possibility of hydro-planing... a safer way to drive!
Drive Safely! Ailsa xoxo
Remember to Leave 3 Spaces, between you and the car ahead of you, be mindful of the cars behind you, if they're getting too close, especially when you plan to turn...
Slow Down : )
Headlights On (I always put my headlights on, is just a good safety practice : )
And.... I highlighted the tips, if you're in a hurry! : )

Breaking the Taboo - a must watch, must change situation #RichardBranson's son, Sam Branson #DrugWar
Breaking the Taboo is an absolutely brilliant film. Take the time to go in and watch this very informative documentary about searching for better solutions to the 'Drug War' that has been raging since the Reagan years. I have to say, I was very surprised that Nixon had so much to do with the 'War on Drugs'.
This documentary by Richard Branson's son, Sam Branson, is timely and accurate. I was just reading, not that long ago, that the number of people incarcerated in the US was a staggering number, and that it is now considered a 'business' that is critical to maintain, because so many people are employed by it. How scary is that?? To think there may be a continuation of laws that are unjust in order to continue to employ all the people who service the prison system - man, if another country were doing this, weren't there be a huge outpouring of fury?
I feel so fortunate that I happened to see Richard Branson on Jimmy Fallon, this afternoon - it's raining, we're having a 'lazy day', and it's a good day to catch up on our Late Night Shows on the DVR, and there it was, Breaking the Taboo. Lets hope all the politicians open their minds to the possibility of serious change in the way governments deal with drugs, helping the people who need and want the help to get clean from drug use, and get back on track, to removing the dangers involved. I really liked that they showed countries who have already made the changes toward a more positive approach to the situation. It's interesting that they always mention the money that will be brought in from taxation of legalized drugs, but I hadn't really thought of all the other resources used in the 'fight against drugs', the police forces, the prison system, all the other sources you don't think about when it's outside of your own life... for those expenses to come down, or be transferred over to solving the problem, plus the money from taxation - that's the way to go.
Remember to sign the petition at the top of the page, too. When a government sees the people are behind an idea for serious change, then it's easier for them to make the change with less fear of repercussion.
Plus, I loved the idea that Richard Branson wants to go into a volcano to see what sources are in there! Very cool!

Narrated by Oscar winning actor Morgan Freeman, "Breaking the Taboo" is produced by Sam Branson's indie Sundog Pictures and Brazilian co-production partner Spray Filmes and was directed by Cosmo Feilding Mellen and Fernando Grostein Andrade. Featuring interviews with several current or former presidents from around the world, such as Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, the film follows The Global Commission on Drug Policy on a mission to break the political taboo over the United States led War on Drugs and expose what it calls the biggest failure of global policy in the last 40 years.
