Look at what CHAT-GPT gave me for christmas!

A LITTLE POEM FOR YOU, JOSEPH.

WITHIN EACH QUESTION LIES A SPARK,

A LANTERN GLOWING IN THE DARK.

THE SELF WE SEEK IS NEVER FAR __

IT LIVES IN WONDER,

WHERE THE QUESTIONS ARE.

         Hello Gentle People!

             Revenge is not a good thing but sometimes it could be fun! 

I bought a pellet rifle at the giant Canadian Tire store in Sainte-Eustache, Quebec. I brought it home to target practise in the basement but not only did it not hit the targets I aimed at, but it kept jamming and frustrating the hell out of me! The next day, I brought it back for an exchange or a refund.

The Canadian Tire manager absolutely refused to take it back! He claimed it was designated as a fire-arm and he refused to refund or exchange my fire-arm. I gave him an argument but when I realized he was serious, I gave up and brought my dangerous Fire-Arm back home.

Today, I'm glad I kept the pellet rifle because I discovered the problem was not the rifle but the pellets they sold me to use in the rifle. I paid over 20 Dollars for a small box of pellets and half the pellets jammed in the rifle barrel. They were too large for the barrel!  Not wanting to give up, I returned to the store and bought different pellets. This time they sold me pellets that were too small for the rifle. Attempting to load one of these small pellets meant watching it pass through the barrel and fall on the floor! The bottle containing the pellets now sits on my desk as a reminder never to trust large Canadian Tire stores. 

   Update! I have learned to use the smaller pellets. They were not meant for my air rifle but using my imagination, I dabbed a minuscule amount of Vaseline into the rifle loading port and the small pellets now stick to the vaseline where they remain in place until I crank and shoot. They also become dangerously fast and accurate and so I recommend you do not use them in a confined space, as for example, my basement. For fun in the basement without too much risk of the ammunition bouncing back and hitting you, and also for helping me win sweet revenge on a large box store...try the following....  

Today is revenge time! For every person who purchased air rifle pellets at a ridiculous price from Canadian Tire, here is an alternative. You can use Q-Tips as ammunition for your pellet rifle. You can buy 500 Q-Tips at four dollars a box and they will not jam your air rifle. You can even recycle the Q-Tips several times back into the rifle and they will shoot hard and fast towards any target you choose! Of course I absolutely do not advise you aim or shoot at humans or animals and because they are Q-tips, hitting the centre of your target becomes a challenge.  If they don't fit immediately into your barrel, remove a small amount of cotton from the tips until they do fit.  Don't force them into the barrel.  

  Decades ago, the first thing a soldier or a hunter did was deliberately jam a chunk of Cotton into their long barrel rifles, followed by an iron ball. 

  I am finally having fun with my air rifle! I practise with the Q-Tip ammunition in the basement and they seldom jam in the rifle barrel! Also, the target practise helps me aim my Photography Camera more accurately at flying Geese when they pass over my head, but that's another story. Thanks for reading!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made it clear—he is not interested in talks with Russian officials, except for Vladimir Putin himself, and only under strict terms. "I will not meet with Russians. I will meet only one Russian—Putin. But only after we have a common plan with Trump and Europe. Then, we will sit down with Putin and end the war. Only in this case am I ready to meet him." This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested holding Ukraine-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia.

In a few months it will be Christmas. Today, I am suffering from Cancer and may not be here for Christmas and so I am leaving you this small poem...  

                                CHRISTMAS.

GENTLE FANTASIES AND SWEET LIES BATHED IN BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FROM DECADES PAST, ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE CHRISTMAS!

The fight for my life!

 Hello Gentle People!

 I won't recover from Cancer but I can give it a hell of a fight, for as long as possible!

If you don't know me by now, here is a reminder. 

I registered the WORLD FRIENDLY HUMANITARIAN PEACE AND ECOLOGY MOVEMENT on the  Google web space, and because I did that, my web email box is now crowded with non profit organizations all asking for money!

The word donate has become a curse! Too many people use it to ask me for money! I am not a philanthropist and I don't have that much money! What I do have left I am keeping to help me survive the next few months. 

After my departure from this life, I will leave something behind for legal non profits, but not before! 

Thanks for understanding!

Yours in friendship and good faith.

Nelson Joseph Raglione.

Out dated school books.

 Gentle Canadians.

   Some school books in Canada are out dated. How out-dated? When a book is printed Ten years in the past, it is outdated! Check your children's school books for the print date. Today's information is evolving  fast with super computers and even faster with the help of artificial intelligence. Are outdated school books still viable? Are pocket telephones now acting as teachers and professors? To answer these questions I am going to ask my arificially intelligent computer.

Buy for now!   N. J.R.

If you don't know for whom to vote, vote for love, it's a winner!

 Gentle People:                                                                                        Sunday, April 13, 2025.

  The environment is being placed on the back burner during this Canadian election. Global warming, however, is a fact that will not be denied!

1.  Fact. A forest fire destoyed a complete town in California and wiped out a million Trees and thousands of small animals.

2.  Fact: A hurricane destroyed lives and buildings in Florida, U.S.A..

3.  Fact: Floods ravaged Portugal and Spain and Asia as the Oceans become warmer.

4.  Fact: Pollution in the air we breath is slowly poisoning millions of people.

5.  Fact: Pollution is created when we destroy our Oxygen creating forests in order to create thousands of houses and condomiums and millions of paper products.

6.  Fact: Our so called "Natural Resources" perpetuate global warming and our "Fossil Fuels" are polluting us and the rest of the world.

5.  Question: Which politician in Canada wants to exploit our "natural resources" for profit?

6. Vote according to your conscience. Vote for: clean air, clean water, and clean food! Stop the Oil Pipeline once and for all.

DO WE NEED THE U.S. AS A FRIEND...YES!...AS AN ENEMY? NEVER!!

TODAY IN CANADA...

 MILLIONS OF INDUSTRIAL WORKERS AND OFFICE WORKERS ARE TERRIFIED BECAUSE U.S. GOVERNMENT TARIFFS WILL PLUNGE CANADA INTO ECONOMIC RECESSION.

 APPARENTLY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO SWITCH JOBS AND HORROR OF HORRORS! MANY WILL HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR COMPUTERS,,,MYSELF INCLUDED...AND THEIR COMFORTABLE CHAIRS TO WORK ON THE FARMS AND GARDENS AND FORESTS OF THIS WORLD.

SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? MONEY IS THE PROBLEM! IT IS NOT THE SOLUTION?! 

THE SOLUTON IS TO CREATE A GREEN WORLD! WE NEED GREEN TREES...GREEN GARDENS  EVERYWHERE...GREEN ROOF TOP GARDENS...GREEN-HOUSES FILLED WITH VEGETABLE PLANTS AND FLOWER PLANTS AND FRIENDLY EXPERTS WHO UNDERSTAND PLANT BIOLOGY. GREEN LOVING ECOLOGISTS WORKING DESPERATELY TO STOP THE POLLUTION CREATED BY PEOPLE CHASING MONEY.

CANADA HAS ALL THE GREEN WE NEED TO SURVIVE A RECESSION AND NOW WE HAVE MILLIONS OF NEW IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE YOUNG ENOUGH AND ABLE ENOUGH TO WORK ON FARMS PLANTING GREEN VEGETABLES,  AND JUST AS IMPORTANT, IN CITIES PLANTING GREEN FRUIT TREES EVERYWHERE INCLUDING: ON FRONT LAWNS, IN BACK YARDS, IN LARGE POTS ON ROOF TOPS AND IN POTS SITUATED ON THE THOUSANDS OF BALCONIES NOW HANGING FROM THE SIDES OF MULTI-LAYERED CONDOS. THOUSANDS OF NEW CONDOS.  TOO MANY DAMN CONDOMINIUMS...BUT I DIGRESS.

WE CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT TRUMP AND HIS FOLLOWERS NOW RUNNING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

CANADA HAS FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD WHO ARE WILLING TO BUY OUR GREEN PRODUCTS AND CANADA ALSO HAS THE COLOR  BLUE.

WE HAVE BLUE SKIES WHEN WE STOP DRIVING U. S. MADE GAS PRODUCING AUTOMOBILES, AND WHEN WE STOP PRODUCING FOSSIL FUELS FOR THE PROFIT AND BENEFIT OF THE TRUMP FRIENDS WHO I NOTICED WERE STANDIG BEHIND HIM DURING HIS INAUGURATION. 

WE HAVE BLUE NON POLLUTING INSULATION PANELS CAPABLE OF KEEPING OUR HOUSES WARM IN WINTER AND COOL IN SUMMER, MADE IN CANADA!

CANADA HAS BLUE WATER BECAUSE WE ARE FINALLY LEARNING TO APPRECIATE CLEAN WATER AND DEVISE WAYS TO KEEP OUR WATER CLEAN BOTH FOR DRINKING AND FOR SWIMMING, AND WE HAVE GREEN THINKING SCIENTISTS WHO ARE CREATING  BETTER SOLUTIONS FOR DISPOSING OF HUMAN WASTE.

THE WORLD WILL HAVE CLEAN BLUE WATER WHEN GIANT CARGO SHIPS STOP DUMPING THEIR OILY SLUDGE INTO THE OCEAN.

DO WE NEED FRIENDS? YES! ...FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED!

 DO WE NEED JAZZ AND BLUES SINGERS. YES! WHEN WE STOP  THINKING ABOUT TRUMP AND WE CONCENTRATE ON: FUN, FRIENDSHIP, AND LOVE.

DO WE NEED THE U.S. AS A FRIEND? YES!  AS AN ENEMY...NEVER!

unicef: world water day.

Dear Joseph, On World Water Day, we celebrate the profound role water plays in helping children survive, stay healthy and reach their potential. Yet every day, millions of children still lack access to clean and safe water, putting their health and futures at risk. Thanks to your monthly support, UNICEF is working tirelessly to bring essential water services to children and families in the world’s most challenging places. Here are just a few examples of how your generosity is making an impact:

Keeping safe water flowing in Ukraine In Liubar, Ukraine, deteriorating pipes caused a decline in water quality and frequent outages. UNICEF, with the support of our donors and partners, was able to provide 1,500 metres of piping to help the community restore its water supply, ensuring access to clean, safe drinking water for children and their families.

Trucking water to displaced families in Syria In Al Hol camp, Syria, displaced children and families face a daily struggle to meet their basic needs, including access to clean and safe water. Thanks to donors like you, UNICEF was able to step in with water trucking assistance to reach nearly 16,600 residents with the water they urgently need.

Solar power brings clean water in Ethiopia In Ethiopia, the ongoing conflict left 14-year-old Samrawit (pictured) and her family struggling to access clean water. With UNICEF's help, a solar-powered water system now provides Samrawit’s village with clean water, allowing her to focus more on her studies and less on fetching water.

Test your water knowledge! Did you know your monthly gift is supporting UNICEF's water programs in over 100 countries around the world? Take our quiz and learn more about UNICEF's work in water and how your support is making a difference.

TAKE A QUIZ   Joseph, your continued support is vital in helping us reach more children with access to clean and safe water. We cannot thank you enough for supporting our mission to ensure every child is healthy and has a brighter future.  With gratitude, Sara Zerehi Chief Strategic Engagement Officer UNICEF Canada

OXFAM : WATER IS LIFE!

Water is life. Water is a human right. Yet, more than two billion people live in countries where water supply is inadequate. And for too many, water is not just scarce—it’s under threat. This World Water Day, will you take action? Your gift can help deliver clean water to those who need it most. GIVE WATER TODAY Today, I want to share some of the biggest water crises we’re facing and how Oxfam is responding: Water as a weapon of war – In Gaza and beyond, cutting off access to water is being used to control and harm civilians. We’re working urgently to provide safe drinking water and sanitation where it’s most needed while calling out this war crime. Climate-driven disasters – Floods and droughts fueled by climate change are worsening global water and food insecurity. Oxfam helps communities adapt and build resilience. Water-borne diseases – Outbreaks linked to unsafe water puts millions at risk. We respond with rapid emergency hygiene kids, sanitation and community engagement to prevent deadly infections. With over 80 years of front-line water and sanitation expertise, here’s how we’re taking action right now: Desalination – Oxfam engineers have been pioneering desalination in Iraq, Kenya, Somaliland, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza. This technology turns dirty groundwater into drinkable water using reverse osmosis, often powered by solar energy. Water trucking, drilling boreholes, water piping, and repairs – When water stops flowing due to drought or conflict, our teams work tirelessly—often risking their safety—to restore access. Irrigation systems – In Malawi and Somaliland, Oxfam has built irrigation systems that channel water from reservoirs to farmers’ fields, supporting agriculture and strengthening food security. Dignity-first – From women-specific sanitation kits to locks and lighting near latrines, we consult with communities to ensure safe and resilient water access for all. GIVE WATER TODAY Water isn’t just about wells and pipelines—it’s about justice. That’s why we also push for long-term solutions and advocate for stronger commitments from governments to secure water access for all. I’m particularly proud of Oxfam’s expertise and bold approach. Our water engineers are renowned for their speed and efficiency, providing large-scale water supplies and disease-preventing sanitation facilities to millions of vulnerable people around the world—even in the most challenging environments like Gaza. Thank you for fighting for water justice. Sincerely, Dalia Al-Awqati Deputy Director, Humanitarian Oxfam Canada P.S.: Every dollar counts. A donation of $50 can provide emergency water kits for families in crisis. Please give what you can today to help us bring clean water and dignity to those who need it most.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID SUZUKI!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID SUZUKI! Donate in honour of David’s 89th

To be honest, Nelson, inflation means the critical work David cares most about is more costly than ever. Donors makes this work possible. But some dedicated long-term supporters have had to reduce — even cancel — their gifts. Though they’re facing similar pressures, generous donors have stepped up to help fill the gap. But it’s not enough. Can you help?

Over the last year, donors like you helped: Power a win for renewables. In December, Canada passed clean electricity regulations. This bold step for climate action also means cleaner air, lower energy costs and thousands of jobs. Promote renewable power for all. Our research shows Canada can end our addiction to oil, gas and coal and move to affordable, reliable, nationwide zero-emissions electricity by 2035 — in just a decade! Advance a cap on oil and gas emissions. More than 25,000 people sent messages via our website to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for its pollution. Now we’ll push ALL parties and candidates to address this important policy in their election platforms. Secure methane regulations. B.C. strengthened its methane emissions regulations for the oil and gas sector in September. We’ll continue to push for federal regulations to be finalized as soon as possible to stop harmful methane emissions. End public fossil fuel financing. In July, Canada finally delivered on its promise to turn off the tap on most taxpayer handouts to the fossil fuel industry. The next step: end ALL public financing to these polluting companies that are raking in record, obscene profits while polluting our country. …and more! We can’t stop now. Your gift today will keep work like this going, turning up the pressure on Canada to prevent catastrophic global heating by: Leaving fossil fuels in the ground. Switching to 100 per cent renewable energy. Protecting natural areas that sequester carbon, prevent flooding and erosion, maintain water supplies and remind us that we humans, too, are part of the web of life. These actions are needed to solve the climate crisis. And they ARE POSSIBLE if we act together NOW. If David has ever inspired you, please consider expressing your solidarity with what he stands for with a special donation in honour of his 89th birthday.

My gift for David’s birthday

Thank you for caring about protecting the people and places you love. Jasmine Yen Director, Development P.S. Other generous donors will match all gifts made by midnight March 24 up to $47,500! P.P.S. When you make your birthday gift, you can include a personal note for David. He’ll love reading your message.
