Although I do this for fun, I'd like to request your assistance with the costs of keeping the site on-line. Bandwidth use is well over 600 GIGabytes a month and it ain't cheap here in The Great White North. Anything you can spare will help to keep the site humming along.

SERVICE NOTE: Please accept my apologies for the lack of updates during the period of 10th, May to 10th July, 2009. As you must be aware by now, my computers, then this site, got a very bad virus infection and so I didn't do any uploading until everything was clean and safe.

Doing so has cost me well in excess of $1,600.00 USD by the time all was said and done. This kind of expenditure on what is basically a hobby site, and free to all visitors, CANNOT be sustained by me alone. I ask you, please, to consider what you're getting for nothing and help me to cover these costs by contacting me at: JC-Green@Telus.Net or sending a cheque or postal money order to: JC GREEN, PO Box 2013, Point Roberts, WA, USA 98281-2013. I hope to be able to offer easier options again soon, as well as an explanation as to why this Donation Request has had to be changed.

Thanks all for your patience, and in advance, for your assistance to cover the costs incurred.

(I GENERALLY DO AN UPDATE EVERY 7 TO 10 DAYS, WITH ROTATING PAGES FROM DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE SITE, GETTING NEW MATERIAL, SO READ THE INTRODUCTION FOR EACH UPDATE, PLEASE. THE SECTION BEING UPDATED IS NORMALLY HOT-LINKED IN THE BLATHERING.)

The data shown below will change normally, about a week to 10 days after the beginning of each month, then be placed in 'Archive' for future reference. The Archive structure will be a month by month basis for each year (12 pages).

Please Note: There is no "INDEX" page per se. Use the month and year pages above and below to review previous updates to this Section.

Ho-ho-ho, yet MORE fucking snow!!! GGGrrr. I gotta shovel the damned lane again and here's a few pix to show what it looked like outside at 07:45 this morning.

Nevertheless ... a Very Merry Christmas to you all!

- 22nd December, 2008 -

I know that most of you folks in the rest of Canada and most of America are laughing your asses off at we poor sods here in Vancouver, moaning about the snow (15" of it on my deck!), but that white shit is not supposed to be here! It damned well should be up in the mountains where it belongs. Here's some pix of the current conditions at my home.

And, although it's an oldie, it's a goody ... all about a guy who moves to a snow climate ... here it is, below, for a few chuckles.

Diary of a Demented Snow Sniveler

December 8 - 6:00 PM

It started to snow. The first of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So Romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9

We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!

December 12

The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbour tells me not to worry - we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see it again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbour.

December 14

Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15

20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16

Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17

Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20

Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbour kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're sold out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22

Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of that white shit fell today and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the ass hole is lying.

December 23

Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did, but I think she's lying.

December 24

6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.

December 25

Merry F---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snow plow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26

Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27

Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze. Plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28

Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29

10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30

Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.

December 31

I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8

Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

Merry Christmas!

*******************************

This will be my contribution to your MERRY CHRISTMAS :-). And to prove that I have the spirit, both mentally and in it's bottled form, here's a pix of my shack in the north woods.

I'll have NO part of the politically correct BS that has infected too much of the Western world, where we collectively, as white, Judeo/Christian, Caucasians have that horrid disease of feeling we have to apologize to the remainder of the world for being what we are: successful, happy and free ... and too, that we don't want to offend others who are not. Fuck 'em. We are what we are and no apologies are given.

As well, a long delayed article on some play with one of my local lady friends has been placed in the JG-L Articles Section, Page 42: Play With Sassy

I've continued to add new sites and a 'full' upload will be done in the middle of each month from now on, but in the meantime, here's some new banners and pix as sources of additional entertainment.

Kinkery stuff here has mostly fallen by the way while I get on with the Silly Season Shit and family events, but it will resume in full force with the coming of the New Year, for I have a number of projects in train that need to be dealt with.

Here's another mini-article about some folks I truly admire and like a lot ... my good friends Cordula and Juergen of CAPTURED TABOO'S. They're both super people and have kindly allowed me to use some of their imagery to show off their latest acquisitions from RUBBER'S FINEST. Enjoy :-)!

And so, that's it until the 30th, or thereabouts. I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a most Merry Christmas with friends and family, both kink and vanilla, and also, to thank you ALL most sincerely for your visits to the site and sending me letters and the occasional gift to encourage me to keep at it. Your letters and donations are MOST appreciated.
