It all began here.
If you are a student of NZ history or perhaps just well read then you have all the information you need to understand our economic problems. You also have the information that you need to understand the missed opportunities. We have an economy that is debt based. That in itself is not problematic, ( one can argue about good debt versus bad debt) however it really comes down to where the debt…
What should Dads tell their children, (what will my legacy be).
I guess one could fill an encyclopedia with advice. The issue would be how much of that would be extraneous, telling your grandma how to suck eggs, mainsplaining, etc. There is of course the things that are seen, not spoken, interpretation of actions and inactions. Continue reading What should Dads tell their children, (what will my legacy be).
1 in 100 Years
As regular as someone who eats prunes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the hoary conspiracy theorists rush to their keyboards and spout asinine nonsense about the causes of major rainfall events and floods. From witches dancing around cauldrons, through to the Illuminati sitting around their round table casting dice as to who is going to get the next flood, hurricane or cyclone. Then there are…
Be aware Sensitive Topic (assisted dying)
I am no stranger to death, you can point to my Catholic upbringing, my large extended family. My parents had 20 siblings between them, and I have many cousins. I have experienced it up close and personal… Read more I have written before about death, suicide and related topics. I shall make a list of these posts presently. On many dating apps, one of the questions is What is your social media…
Let Them Have Cups (if they can't afford rags)
ACT MP Simon Court says women should buy menstrual or moon cups if they cannot afford other products.if . This is the face of ACT. I have no problems with being open about menstrual products. I do remember as a 12 year old cringing when we went down ” that” aisle, in the supermarket or being sent to the dairy for panty hose. The Modess pads being wrapped in brown paper at Simmons Chemist in…
Words that Scare me
Over the years I have had friends turn up or phone out of the blue. Can I pop around and see you? Sure I have said, then they started. It was in the 80s and I was invited to an event, woo hoo, I forget the pitch however it was Amway. A bunch of people with glazed eyes wanting to draw the circles. I almost fell in.There was Tupper ware, Avon, some other cosmetic business, all promising riches. All…

Is Christopher Luxon a liar or deluded?

A Dollar In My Pocket
I was talking with someone today, they had pair of vintage dungarees accidentally disposed of. I know the back story and even helped trying to find such a pair. I understood, empathised and advised how to put it into perspective. I have lost some things in my life that at the time were quite devastating. It reminded me of how small things can seem huge. I was off shopping for Christmas presents…

Beware Tiredness Lives Here
Over the last 5 years, I have lived with an almost constant perfidious, strength-sapping, motivation-stealing tiredness. I have been involved in a voluntary capacity with a number of community groups however along with my seemingly unending tiredness, intolerance like a cancer has grown. My capacity to engage with people, especially idiots in a respectful and meaningful way has crumbled to a…

Beware Here There Be Idiots
Dumbo’s Friend Who can remember the name of the mouse that was Dumbo’s friend in the movie about the flying Elephant? Well as it turns out I can. I regularly do a Newspaper Quiz, I average around 12 out of 15, sometimes even ace it. Memory is a funny thing. I incurred what is described as a minor traumatic brain injury (I think it was about 4 years ago). I was hit in the head by a rock the…

Moral dilemmas,
I have been through a few, some I have failed at, others well I have managed to stand true. I am fortunate, I have a place to live, food to eat, even some toys. I am living week to week at the moment but I still have choices and I can improve my lot. Some time ago I bought a small boat, not a lot of money, however enough. I have been out fishing three times. I want to fish more but needed to…
