Bullying is for LOSERS!

Bullying is for LOSERS!

Sadly another young girl took her own life in Canada due to being bullied.  We need to make this STOP.

The video above is to the point.

If you see it happening (or are even a bully yourself) it is never too late to do something to make it stop.

Capitals name a new head coach

Today is another chapter ending and beginning in the history of the Washington Capitals. 
Dale Hunter was named as the 15th head coach in the Capitals team history replacing Bruce Boudreau. 

I'm personally of two minds on this.  I've been a Boudreau supporter all along and I really like him.  However I do agree that he lost the 'locker room' and when that happens it's over.  Then it's just a matter of time.

I'm interested to see how a 'players' coach (Dale Hunter) does in the Caps locker room.  Also this is his first NHL coaching job.  He's been coaching the OHL London Knights for over 10 years.  He is going to either sink or swim in the NHL as a coach, I'm hoping this move works.

The Caps were doing so well to start the season off and they WERE the team to beat and they have recently become the easy win for teams (even the ones that we are supposed to win against). 

Once a Caps fan ALWAYS a Caps fan, I'm going no where.  But slowly they are making it difficult to be a fan again.

My answer: "None of your business"

I'm so very thankful that the elections are finally over.

We had people calling on the phones and even a few people that knocked on our door too.  This year I was really shocked that on the phone and in person, these people actually had the nerve to ask me who I was voting for.  UH....hello?!?!  There is a reason the voting process in anonymous.   To which each time I was asked I just said  that is "none of your business".  I even shot the guy a dirty look when he asked me to my face.  How ballsy is that??  Even though I did vote for who he was representing...I still don't feel comfortable sharing that information, especially with people I do not know.

Now if you don't mind sharing that info, that is great.  More power to you.  I have my own political opinions and I certainly take others opinions into consideration but I make up my own mind and I don't impose my views on others.  Especially if it is not asked for.  If I want information on any candidate for an election, I look it up myself and compare then make my choice.  No amount of debating from supporters, phone calls, door to door visits will change my mind once it is made.

I'm not the type of person that particularly likes to debate, but if it is something I feel strongly about I will defend my view point.  However, I will not be offended of others feel differently.  I just don't understand those who cannot see that.

Have any of you come across those kinds of campaigns this year??  Did they ask you too??  If so, what did you say?
