I was at the Canada Post office today. A fellow sent me a Pipe from the US. This guy has integrity. Lot of folks out there will take your money but won't deliver on what they paid for. A cousin was slammed over the internet for not delivering on the goods she was selling. Not a good thing to do. Any case you only have your own face to look at. Can we look at our face and say, "boy you're cute, you're doing good in the world, and you're trustworthy." I throw cute in there because, you can only be ugly if you can't look at your own face. Looking at your own face because you are a real jerk.
The Canada Post counter person, saw me looking at the coins in the display case and he said "they got a lot of nice coins coming out." I agreed and told him, I was a fan of the coins but stopped buying them. I used to buy the coins that were full value. I mean the face value of the coin was what it cost to buy. For instance a $30 coin cost thirty dollars. Canada post stopped the practice of selling coins for face value. You know why? It was because of a real jerk. Yeah, one real jerk screwed it up. The thing was he was just proud of his actions. What he did was this: he would order a large amount of face value coins. He would pay by credit card. He would then return the coins and Royal Mint of Canada would accept the return and give back the amount. So the guy has not spent any money but yet collects points. He was on the news bragging about this scam. He was a law school student. He was actually bragging about his theft. What a real jerk. I don't know if you can purchase coins at face value now.
Like many I can be the jerk who won't look at their own ugly face. But man, I am trying to be cute. Doing lots and lots of cute things: picking up after myself, doing chores at home, not swearing at jerks when it's expected. Giving Alms to the poor. Especially, when the poor is an Indigenous Woman. There are so many people at road intersections with their hands out, "Alms for the poor, Alms for the poor." Interesting not all the intersection Stevens are not Indian. Some of them are actually middle age and older White men. Strange, I know. Doesn't fit the stereotype of who is asking for change. The bad thing for people, the poor is, not much people handle cash these days. It is the use of interact plastic cards or credit cards. So when I go to the bank I will get cash and some change as well. Just in case I want to be cute and not a real jerk. So I will try and give when I can to the Indian at the interaction. Most times I am not walking, I am one of those driving jerks.
In our Reserve there are some people who are damn cute. They just go about being kind to others, compassionate and say nice things. They say nice things to and about people. They say nice things that are happening in the community. Damn cute I say. Then again, (audible loud long sigh) there are the real jerks. Folks who do not find joy in things in the community. This are the real jerks. I'm talking "man, that guy, that Woman, is a real jerk."

We had a small Elder brunch this morning. The Health Centre sponsored the Brunch. 10 people came for the brunch. Bad timing, pension day. One participant was telling us, this used to happen a few years ago with people getting together for breakfast. The food would be cooked as people arrived. It was a very nice setting for people to visit. One guy got angry because the food was taking too long and started swearing around. She said, "I never went back." Man,, that guy was a real jerk.I wish you are cute. The cute where you can look yourself in the mirror and say "man, that guy is cute."
Can only be cute when doing good things.
