Review : Camille

David Caridine, Ed Lanther, Scott Glenn.

DVD, Format 2009 PG 13

Kentucky setting for this film, with elected sheriffs with wide-brimmed Stetson Hats makes for a perfect place and stage for a parody on marriage. Camille played by Siemna Milkr is going to get married to her fixation of a boyfriend and not be put off by anything including death. The parody of a person desperate to be married is made real by images such as her taking her own wedding pictures with a Polaroid Camera ,and having to coax an affirmative response to the I do question from her betrothed. An accident intervenes on the way to Niagara Falls and the fun starts. The story line goes from plain parody to fairy tale with images that should incite caution in those planning for a wedding.
Without giving away the ending we can say that with a cowboy circus character played by David Caridine the film takes you to a feeling of satire. Calling into questions the worth of fairy tales making sense of painful issues in life. James Franco playing the groom in a role that a reasonable person would think a lesson for being in control of your life, and with deference to the things that come at you. Misadventure and allowing events that normally would put someone behind bars translates in to comedy, and a fairy tale deliverance .The real tangible value to this film is for those planning or have had a wedding.
A couple could use the story as a frame of reference to say well it was not as bad as that. ( Camille)

Review: Nicola Valley Honey

Produced by Nicola Valley Apiaries, just outside Merritt on Coldwater Road by Meg Paulson, proprietor and partner . The product is widely distributed in British Colombia. The honey as sampled by a token sample given out at a local business development societies function (government mandated) is clear and golden. It has a consistency of liquid and a thickness that is not frustrating for use as spread or sweetener for hot drinks.

The honey got, Best All Round Honey in the National Post on Oct 7th 2006.The business is in its 30th year producing this year 60 thousand pounds of honey. A one Kilo Gram jar is 11 dollars at the downtown tourist information booth in Merritt, and is available at the Quilchena Store, Nicola Ranch Store and local super markets Also available in fruit stands in th Similkemeen including Keremeos and in the Okanogan. It is available also in supermarkets in Vancouver at Coopers and others.

Assertive Ways to Say No

  1. Firmly Decline:
    • “I’m sorry, but I have to decline.”
    • “Unfortunately, I can’t agree to that.”
  2. Set Boundaries:
    • “I have to say no to that request.”
    • “I need to prioritize other commitments.”
  3. Be Direct:
    • “I appreciate the offer, but I have to say no.”
    • “I’m unable to accommodate that.”

Remember, it’s important to be respectful but firm in your communication.

Gentle Tuesday jazz.

Have you ever had surgery?
What for?
The fall of the knife came taught,,
Classroom and practice bough relief.
So, cut on the line reverse the stain from,
WHEN PAIN HAD ITS GAIN.

personal stuff…

Gentleness refers to a kind, considerate, and calm approach in one’s behavior and actions. It involves treating others with a tender and compassionate attitude, avoiding harshness or aggression. This trait is often associated with being understanding and patient, seeking to resolve conflicts peacefully and making others feel at ease.

The Canada 2024 Day was observed on Monday at and about the band shell at central park. The Doug James band invited 3 hours of music ending at 3:00 p.m.. There were many kids that enjoyed the water and the playgrounds while some parents and grandparents took in the music and the displays including a Merritt Country Capital of Canada tent, face painting the mobile art van from the Arts Council. The park entrance was guarded by two fire trucks and a number of first responders welcomed people to the park in the parking lot. Symmetry seemed to be in vogue as people were often in red and maple leafs were abundant giving a sense of connection.

Have a great year
