I had to stop my association with my framer which was a major drag.  I said two things actually. One is that I feel that continuing to put money into professional framing is not only time consuming and hindering my ongoing fight with poverty. Two, I feel that there has been a backlash against the actual quality work of the framer.  There has always been some bad feeling for the gallery concerning the fact that it is on the floor I live on which is not necessarily of the same religious persuasion of the congregation that owns and runs it. It might be that the excellent work that has been done is a bone of contention to some significant players in the place. That was one thing For some reason, not too long after the conversation and final association with the said framer I was contacted by a good and qualified patron of the arts who was terminally ill.  She had painstakingly collected some very important magazines throughout her life and being enamored of them kept them...

I met a couple of art specialists and we were discussing the major problem with my art which is I have zero income. That includes my exhibition in the residence I live in. This exhibition has been very much instrumental in upgrading the clientele and the reputation of the house.  However, it has been years I have been working on it and there has been a lot of time and money spent on it with no income. time is passing and I am growing older.  I wondered why and the first thing I came up with is that I knew quite clearly that the work I was exhibiting was not of the kind that was commonly taken as "serious" in prestigious homes and exhibitions that I saw.  Since I had no money I knew that my place to get that kind of art would be in quality prints, more specifically old books found in thrift shops and the like. But a better opportunity would come up. For some reason, not too long after the conversation with the specialists, I was contacted by a good and qualified patron o...

Update: 9-9-12 According to my brother, the property is off Lac Ludger. Lac Ludger is connected to Lake Cardin. It is not off Grand Lac Long which is what I had thought the name of the lake was when I lived there. Grand Lac Long does exist but somewhere else in the Laurentian Mountain Range.  I think the property listed has a good possibility to be the place where I spent my time in the summer because it is in the vicinity of both the B'nai Brith Camp (which is still there according to the map) as well as Lac Brulé. I have been having a bit of difficulty finding out about the estate I am supposed to have inherited from my parents.  One document I got pretty fast was the coordinates of the country house I spent my summer and weekends in as a child and young adult. I have never had a clear idea of the address when I lived there but on the document, I got some coordinates of the place. I checked it out on Google maps. and I don't understand the results.  So I am going to ...

Skull shapes made of amaranth and honey for  Day of the Dead  in Mexico When I was a child I lived in two homes.  One was in Cote St. Luc and I remember the address perfectly.  That was the first thing they taught me in the little prenursery school I attended. When I was six years old my parents purchased a country house in the Laurentians.  I would go for the summer to that little house and in the winter the family would go every weekend so that we could rest and go skiing. First, we went to Belle Neiges ski hill and then La Reserve. Every Saturday night we would have steak.  This was a very big meal. Many times during the week we did not eat well but on Saturday we had a big meal.  As I recall the family would share a steak or two and we would have hotdogs and something else as well (I believe ribs). We always had a fresh salad.  First, the meals were made on an outside bbq with charcoal.  Then my father purchased a hibachi and fina...

Hello Dear Reader, I am glad you have come by to read my thoughts. I write my open journal to you. The years continue to roll by and more and more I retreat into my own world. This summer I did not get taken on any airplane trips.  I told many people not to take me because I am very unhappy with the financial position I am in.  (I am not sure who is taking everything from me (when there is something to take).  All I know is that whenever there was something of value I had, it was taken from me by unknown people. Without any respect for my wishes.  Regretfully I think about people coming in from a very far off place. Or my possessions are taken from me by someone who has the ability to take me there (sight unseen). I feel very bad about the situation. But financially the situation is so grim that I am looking not to change it mainly for the reason that it can easily get much worse.  This is not a very happy situation. These people just come into my room (...

When I arrived at the present place where I live my brother was full of dire predictions that I would eventually be abandoned to a very poor place without support. This is the pattern he said because as the years go by I see fewer and fewer people. (and get less and less support). You see in previous years I have been somehow forced into not being able to rectify my impoverished state.  My brother did nothing to do this either as well.  As a matter of fact, he and his organization have taken great advantage of my handicap. for example just before my father died He confessed to me that he had nothing to leave me when he died. WHo had everything? Well, it was going to happen. It couldn't be my brother and his associates.  this situation got worse with the death of my mother who I was not in good relations with.  A long time ago my family had been replaced in a case of identity theft.  There were some really severe beatings for me so I was not able to get help ...

Hello Dear Reader, I am glad that you have dropped by today.  Your thoughts and input are very valuable to me. This is even more true for the fact is I am mostly in my room at this time. The winter months are coming and soon I will not be able to go to the park to work or commune with people.  I so enjoy going to the park after supper.  This year I haven't gone out as much as the past but still, it is enjoyable.  All this to say I am glad you are here to lend an ear. Note: the following article and the notes afterward are written very quickly. I am using them to brainstorm for ideas. I think the first thing to do is to get the ideas down on the computer because sometimes it takes a while for me to get organized. Once the blueprint s done, I will use the information here as a springboard for other articles.  so here is my budget to live off as it stands now (per month): (as of August 2019) Income: Last Resort Financial Assistance ...
