Mom on strike against kids
Roxanne Toussaint, a mother who has gone on strike against her children’s attitude, has moved into a tent on the front lawn of her north London, Ont., home.
Fed up with poor working conditions and bad attitudes, a mom here has gone on strike against her three kids.
After leaving instructions for her three kids to shape up, Roxanne Toussaint pitched a tent on the front lawn of her home.
“It has come to a head,” Toussaint said.
“There are days I want to rip my hair out and run down the street
naked,” added the single mom, who goes to school and works part-time in
home-care and house-cleaning.
What Toussaint wants is a calmer, cleaner
household. Until her kids come to her with “a plan in writing” how
they’ll help out, she vows to continue to picket out front.
In an interview, the kids concede they should help more. “We should behave more,” said Adrian, 14.
“We weren’t cleaning our rooms and they were really a mess,” agreed Charmaine, 10.
“We are going to start doing it.”
“I don’t like this,” said Kali, 8, her voice shaky. “I love her.”
Postie leaves gun parcel on porch and package gets stolen May 12, 2006

It’s not a joke and it happened in real life:
You can order guns by phone and have them delivered to you door.
Here is the catch: If you not home, Canada Post may leave them on your doorstep. And they might get stolen
That exact scenario happened last month in Oshawa, Ontario Canada.
Now the guns are missing and presumed stolen. It’s left Durham Region police scrambling to retrieve a Remington Super Mag Combo 12-gauge shotgun, a Ruger Deluxe .22-calibre rifle, and
ammunition-assembling equipment. Although the 25-year-old who ordered the guns from a sporting goods store in Calgary took more than a month to report the theft to police, investigators don’t suspect the hunter of complicity.

Insurance Form Anecdotes January 31, 2006

In France, not very long ago, the forms used for notifying insurers of
accident, illness, or pregnancy were based on the same mold.
Consequently, expectant mothers were asked, “Was the accident caused
by some third party?” Invariably, the answer was, “No, only by my
husband.”
