Coucoumellisms

I have three children in soccer. Last year I only had two, and they were on the same day. This year, I tried to get them signed up on different days, but that didn't work out, and they are ALL THREE on the same day. The good thing is, the two youngest play at the same place, at the same time. My oldest however, plays at a different place every week, but at THE SAME TIME as the others. Technically though, he is supposed to be there 15 minutes early, which means there is a coach waiting there, 15 minutes early, so I can drop him off early and then take the two others to their games. I also pick him up about 10-15 minutes after his game, once the two youngest are done. But he is 11 now, so that's not a big deal. The sad thing is, I do not get to watch ANY of his games, since I basically stay to watch the two youngest, especially Maryssa who is only five and still needs that parental encouragement... ANYWAY, I thought, yesterday, that I would be on time for everything,... I had bro...

I would like to say that the following does not entirely represent my own personal views and to apologize to any Americans who might be reading this... "On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. (OK, I have to point out that I don't actually believe George Bush is a moron. However, I do have a hard time with a lot of his policies, especially that so-called war on terrorism...) If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him. I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper an better than your own. (Where...

L'Avortement Jeanne Chabot 11 juin 2004 Je me disputais avec quelqu'un sur la question de l'avortement. Lui comparait l'embryon à une masse de cellules telle un kyste. Un embryon, selon lui, n'est pas un être humain. On ne devient être humain qu'après trois mois de grossesse. "La cour suprême l'a dit..." Pas pire pareil, cela vient de la même bouche qui se moque des Catholiques qui "suivent le Pape aveuglement". Et d'où on tire ce chiffre magique? À minuit, le jour où bébé aura trois mois de gestation, pouf! La Fée Bleue lui apparaît telle qu'à Pinocchio et lui donne vie? Le fait qu'on puisse comparer un embryon, aussi inachevé qu'il soit, à un kyste, me parait incroyable. Ça ne prend pas un cours de biologie pour savoir que dès la conception, un embryon en santé développera inévitablement des bras, des jambes, un ceour, un cerveau... à moins de lui enlever la vie avant qu'il ne puisse le faire bien sûr. Il ...

The Da Vinci Code, the Catholic Church and Opus Dei A response to The Da Vinci Code from the Prelature of Opus Dei in Canada. 20 January 2005 Many readers are intrigued by the claims about Christian history and theology presented in The Da Vinci Code. We would like to remind them that The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction, and it is not a reliable source of information on these matters. The book has raised public interest in the origins of the Bible and of central Christian doctrines such as the divinity of Jesus Christ. These topics are important and valuable to study, and we hope that interested readers will be motivated to study some of the abundant scholarship on them that is available in the non-fiction section of the library. Readers who do further research and exercise critical judgment will discover that assertions made in The Da Vinci Code about Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, and Church history lack support among reputable scholars. By way of example, the book popu...
