Children Mental Health Awareness Day- May 8th

May 8th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 2 Comments

Today is “Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day.” Some of you may remember that I suffered from an eating disorder in my late teens. I have also suffered from depression a great portion of my life and it wasn’t until my early 30’s before I was diagnosed.

According to a report published by the Public Health Agency of Canada, “Twenty percent of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness during their lifetime.” One-in-five Ontario youth already struggle with mental health issues. (Children’s Mental Health Ontario) and about one in five American children has a mental disorder. Mental illness can be fatal.

An estimated 20 percent of children and adolescents have mental, behavioral, or developmental disorders—yet only one third of them receives treatment. (U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services)

Send an Ecard- Wrong Cards

May 3rd, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 7 Comments

I can’t see the point in giving greeting cards. The recipient glances at the card and then it eventually ends up in a drawer with all the other cards. There is no rule that says you have to give a card.

I recently missed a friend of mines birthday. Instead of sending him a
mass-produced token of love that would sit in a drawer, I sent him an ecard. Now the ecard had no dancing monkey wearing a party hat on it, but it did get to the point. Wrongcards.com- When you don’t want to say the very best. These are definitely not hallmark cards.

80s Slang - Another sign that I’m stuck in the 80s

I was a teen through the 80s. Today’s slang has changed a great deal from 80’s slang. I still use a great deal of 80’s slang today.

Nestle Pure Life- Spring Water that tastes like tap water

April 16th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 10 Comments

I bought a case of Nestle Pure Life water last week. Yesterday I was drinking a bottle and thought this tastes like tap water. I decided to call the 1-800 number that Nestle puts on the bottle and ask a rep if their bottled water comes from a spring. One of Nestle service reps confirmed that their bottle water was indeed spring water that comes from Aberfoyle Springs.
