Gill returns to look at a topic we’ve covered before. This seems like a good example. Have you ever been curious about the origins of those stories and rhymes we read, sang and chanted as children? They may leave you with nightmares. So from sleeping beauty being violated to some very racist songs, here are […]

Korean Fusion BBQ
Gill is back with a restaurant recommendation. I went downtown today for something different to do. My friend Natasha and I were searching for a good lunch spot, and we found just that. Bul-Gogi looks and smells like a traditional BBQ place, but once you step inside it dares you to dive in to its […]
It’s A Neighbour Thing
Hello again, Gill. This time she comes bearing bad neighbour stories and wondering about our own. For us, that’s easy. There are these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and these ones and probably a few I’m forgetting. Yes, we’ve had good […]
Keeping An Eye On Things
Gill has a quick update on last month’s hospital saga. Hey there friends! You know how I told you of my harrowing experience in the hospital last month? It appears I must go under the knife in September. The doctor said he didn’t like the fact that the lump from the infection is still there, […]
When Fun Went Wrong
Gill is back to wish us all a happy amusement park season. If you’re heading out to enjoy some fun over the next few months, hopefully you don’t wind up suffering the same fate as any of these poor folks. We need readers. We also care about your safety. Yes, we most definitely care about […]
In Memory Of Grandma
Gill has a few words about her grandmother on the anniversary of her death. Doris Mildred Jean MacMurchy-Hewgill Aug. 31 1923-June 22 2003. Thoughts In Asian cultures the grandparents are placed in high regard, but here in the west elders are often pushed aside in favor of more modern thinking. If we just took a […]
Fearing The Yucky Stuff
Gill is thinking about stuff she didn’t like as a kid, particularly as it relates to beach season. The sand part I understand since it can be really hot and it gets into and sticks to everything, but grass? That’s interesting. Depending on where you are in the world, you might be heading into or […]
My Quandary
Update: Well, the decision has been made. On July 31 I’m taking mom for breakfast. We’re going to a place called the Orchid. She is always saying the most complimentary things about it and it kind of takes me back to when I would eat there Sundays after church when I was a teenager with […]
Be Careful, Part Three
And now, the last part of Gill’s hospital story. I spent the better part of three days in the hospital, and in that time I had some visitors. One was the friend who took me to the revival, the others were people who had kind of adopted me as their “daughter.” Thursday and Friday I […]
Be Careful, Part Two
Here’s Gill with part two of her hospital stay. She’s slowly getting back to normal, which is nice. When I left you guys, I was riding an ambulance speeding toward a hospital. When I got there I spent a good two-and-a-half hours laying on a gurney in the hall waiting for a room to come […]
