Winter, Go the F**k Away (An Eastern Canadian Poem)

By //  by Anne Radcliffe 2 Comments

The darkness is long, and it lingers. The ice is hard on the bay. It's so damn cold out it freezes my nose-hairs. Winter, go the f**k away. The ground is hard and it's frozen. My grass is dead where it lays. Mr. Groundhog's a corpse-icle down there. Please. Go the f**k away. Leaving bed every morning is torture. The blankets where I wish I could stay. But the kid has to get ready for school now. And winter's not f**king going away. I'm so thankful I'm married to …

My dad was an automobile aficionado and knew everything …

Go Canada #CheerForGold

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

When Mom Central Canada asked me to share the new augmented reality boxes from General Mills, I didn't reply to them. I figured if I just ignored them they would leave me alone and I wouldn't have to admit that I didn't know what that was. The truth is the whole thing initially caused my brain to seize up like I'd just been handed a long-division question. I'm not very tech savvy. So when they said "augmented reality" I said, "What you talkin' bout Willis?". I love the tenacious Mom Central …
