Funny smells and funny stories

by The Diva

Two weeks ago I had to go out of town to attend my cousins funeral. I was away for two days. It was a whirlwind emotional trip with one of my brothers and his wife. The only good thing about the trip was seeing two of my bothers and their wives and of course all of the rest of my relatives including my cousins sisters and her mother who happens to be my only remaining living aunt.

My husband didn’t come with us on our trip. He was working and I don’t think he would have come anyway since we’re in the midst of breaking up. He stayed home and had a bit of a pity party on Facebook and “he says” had his cousin over for a visit. When I returned home on the Saturday the house had a really weird smell. I don’t know what it was exactly … I know my husband is smoking cigarettes again so maybe he had a few cigarettes inside the house. He also likes to smoke cigars every once in a while in fact he used to like Acid cigars so maybe he bought one of those. The house did smell a little cigar like – but not that much.

Anyway .. I wasn’t pleased when I discovered what DH had been up to while I’d been mourning my cousin. I wasn’t happy. Naturally I asked him if he or anyone else was smoking inside the house and of course he said no, but I don’t believe that.

A sad day for Toronto Police

by The Diva

There was a funeral for a Toronto police officer this afternoon. Last week officer Ryan Russell was killed when he tried to stop a snow plow that a homeless man had stolen.

The man who had stolen the snow plow literally ran into the police officer and then turned around and drove into him again. Terrible. It was a sad and senseless death of a good man.

The funeral this afternoon on the other hand was amazing. I saw some of it on the news and they said that over 14,000 officers from all over North America attended the funeral! The streets were a sea of uniformed officers. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. I’m sure the family was quite proud of the turn out and I’ll bet that the funeral expenses have been taken care of by the police department or the city as well.

RIP Ryan Russell

A call that wasn’t what I thought it would be

by The Diva

We got a call last week, early in the morning from our former neighbors son. The first thing to run through my mind when I saw who was calling was that our former elderly neighbor had died and they were calling us to tell us that they were in the midst of funeral planning.

I was wrong. It was about the people that they’re renting our former neighbors house too … yeah those awful scum of the earth people next door to us! They haven’t been paying their rent for months and I guess our former neighbors family finally won their case and are allowed to evict them. Yeah!!! So we’re just sitting tight hoping that those awful people will be gone soon.

I’m certainly glad that our former neighbor is still alive. She’s had about three strokes in the last two years though and she must be about 89 years old though … so I have a feeling that she won’t be around for much longer.
