Hi everyone. Monica, I am also LI, and liked reading your post. Welcome to the group, my friend. "Hi" also to Blake; I'm like you that, not only am I LI, but my bladder/bowels tend to loosen up when I know I'm near a toilet, which is the perfect lead-in to today's post. I've had only one *near-accident* since I posted last, about a month ago. I treated myself to some pizza; actually, Alex, Steph, Laura, and I went out for pizza, and of course I had to have some. It was oily "Greek-style" pizza, which can really do a job on some people, even if they're not LI. Anyway, after I went home that evening, I fell asleep and went to bed. I woke up around 3:00 (in the morning) and had pains in my stomach. I felt as if I had to let out a big fart, but I didn't dare, so I walked to the bathroom. I was wearing a t-shirt and a pair of shorts (my usual "pajamas"); I already felt my bowels rumbling as I pulled down my shorts and underpants. I exploded, and yes, it sounded like an "explosion," a bunch of watery crap into the toilet just as I plopped my butt onto the toilet. I continued sitting there peeing (Blake, I'm like you and some of my other friends, and, I assume, most people, that I always pee when doing the "other") and letting out smaller and firmer waves of diahhrea. I got up about 10 minutes later and the toilet was full of brown water and a bunch of little jobbies. I understand many people have "green" poop when they have the runs, but mine are usually brown, regardless. I wiped five times and then flushed. Another story. My older sister, Briana, with whom I'm very close, had to go to the bathroom "really badly" while I was in the shower. I told her she could come in and she did. We started talking as I washed my hair and she peed. I was waiting for her to get up and wipe herself, but I knew then she didn't only have to pee. I didn't hear her "plop" anything, but I smelled her poop as I rinsed my hair. "Can you smell anything?," she asked. I said "yes, but don't worry about it." She apologized for stinking up the room, but I told her not to worry about it and told her that her worst is not as bad as my regular. She kind of giggled and then changed the subject. I finished showering but she was still on the toilet. I told her I would wait in the shower until she finished. She told me I could come out if I wanted to, unless I didn't want her to see me naked. I was worried about seeing her seated on the toilet and she was worried about seeing me naked coming out of the s! hower. I dried myself off with the towel and came out. "Old-timers" will know that we often went to the bathroom together when we were kids (I'm now 20, she's almost 23) and also changed in front of each other when we were younger, but that is now a rarity. Anyhow, I put on my bra and a pair of underpants as she got off the toilet to wipe. We continued chatting as she finished up her "duty." She thanked me for letting her come in- I resisted the temptation to peek over at her jobbies (Briana is also close to Alex, Laura, and Steph, but has no idea of our interest or this site- I don't think she would be interested, either) and give a clandestine report to my friends. Lots of love to everyone :-) Your friend, Jodi
Alex; relax and enjoy... squatting isn't that bad (actually it's great fun). You don't have to get your poos in the hole; if you wee first they will slip down the slope smoothly enough, if you don't, well, they tend to get stuck until you flush, but what the hell! Thinking of poo sticking, there's a crazy type of pan in Russia which is halfway between a wash-out and a wash-down. Under the seat is a 45 degree ramp from the back down to the trap at the front. If you drop a sticky load into a dry pan, it slides down slowly and messily leaving awesome smears! A similar but less extreme version can be found in Europe, in the form of a wash-down designed to replace wash-outs without moving the plumbing. Due to the difference in soil pipe position, the water spot is well forwards to get the back of the trap in, so unless you perch on the very edge of the seat (a german girlfriend used to do this) you always mess up the little ramp at the back. It's amazing how many kinds of toilet there are (I count 20 main types in use today), and the regional and national differences. Here we all are in an international forum, yet how many US people know that NO UK toilet has a flapper valve in the flush tank (forbidden by regulations)? How many UK people know that many older US syphonic pans used a massive 7 gallon flush? Maybe I should do a regular post on toilets of the world?

Tis is one thing that I did that I kinda wished that I hadn't. I was taking a shower in the women's dressing room at the gym and needed to poop so I just stood there and let it fall out of my bottom. It was solid and dark brown. I finished my shower( after cleaning my anus real good),and then left. Do any women ever do that or find where other women have done that in shower rooms?
To MovieFan: In "Mixed Nuts" (starring Steve Martin) there is a scene when a character called Mrs. Munchnik pees...

Hi Diskputers I'm hiting the board pretty late, so by now there may already be several responses to your question "what is a suppository", but I've enjoyed some of your posts and would like to answer you anyway. Basically a suppository is a small cylindrical piece of glycerin; about the width of a pencil and maybe 2-3 inches long. The glycerin is a medium which can contain medications. When used as a remedy for constipation, the suppository is inserted through the anus where-upon it melts from body temperature, allowing the medications contained within to function. Perhaps you've never received one; except maybe as a very young child where you don't remember. If your Mom ever gave you one, she probably had you lie belly down across her lap. Most moms or Nurses "prep" their patients by a soothing back and leg rub to get you to relax. Then' ever so gently and with the assistance of a lubricant like K-Y jelly she would insert the suppository into your rectum. Some people (we're talking basically kids here) report that they enjoyed the procedure; others not. I'm sure that it has a lot to do with the skill and gentleness of the "administrator". This bring back any memories? Gary
Movie Fan
Thanks to all for adding to my list of movies with female bathroom scenes. Based on the input I've gotten, I've updated the list as follows: Movies with female poop scenes:
Patch of Blue
Once Upon a Time in America
Kindergarten Cop
Caged Heat
Movies with female pee scenes:
Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
Point of No return
Love Crimes
The Rachel Papers
Sticky Fingers
Empire Records
When the Party's Over
Operation Condor
Movies with females using the toilet, but it's not established whether they're pooping or peeing:
Psycho 3
The Drifter
Groove Tube
Three for the Road
Rumble in the Bronx
Other movies that may have female bathroom scenes, but I'm not sure:
Leaving Las Vegas (I think this is a pee scene)
Once Upon a Time
Wild Reivers
Choir Boys
Winter Kills
The Man Who Fell to Earth
It still amazes me how very few movies there are with female poop scenes. There are six such movies on my list, but in a couple of these the poop reference is indirect (In Kindergarten Cop, for example, in the scene where she rushes to the gas station bathroom, we assume she's going to poop, but it may just be to vomit). Isn't it funny how movie makers think nothing of having explicit scenes where women are shown being attacked, raped, tortured, blood and guts spilling out, etc., but the simple act of defecation is rarely shown or referenced. Something else I thought about is I can't think of any movies at all which depict women farting. Men have certainly been shown farting in movies (Jim Carrey, for example), but can anyone think of a movie where a woman farts? Thanks again for the input. If anyone has any more examples, please post them. I am especially interested in movies with female poop scenes, because these are just so rare. Out of the thousands of movies we've all seen, there must be more than five or six with references to women pooping...

To BrentC:I haven't had castor oil before,but after I heard your experiences,I think castor oil will give me very strong side effects because of its strong stimulativeness!I have used Bisacodyl suppository (it is made in Taiwan,and it doesn't have an English name ,its Chinese name translate to English is called "HappyDown") several times before,I usually hold it about 10 minutes then I go to the bathroom,but there is one occasion, I hold it about 45 minutes.After I poop ,it still gave me very strong cramp,pain in my belly and my stomach,then I vomit four times!I don't know why it gave me so strong side effects,but I know I won't use it again!
To Aaron and Nicky and other teenage readers: Im a 17 year old male I want to answer Aarons questions because we are not all that far a part In age wise. I some times get constipated, It's been a while. Do you ever get constipated? Do you ever have Diarrhea? Thursday night for dinner I had a tomato sandwich with mayo on It and corn on the cob. I was watching t.v and I fell a sleep with the t.v on and I woke up at 2am with cramps and then I had a load of diarrhea. I was at work tonight and the assistant manager came over to me and told me how long It took him to shit. I was disapointed he told me about this while working In a resturant.
Hi guys. Crimson, thank you for your tip about the "funnels," and thanks to Sara and Jill for your comments about the French squat toilets. Sorry I didn't mention this in yesterday's post. Steph told me about the "lady-J" funnel and I'm thinking of ordering it. I don't know if I could poop into a little hole, but if I have to pee using the funnel (when I have to pee, I have to pee!!!!!), I will do so. Steph, who's more familiar with Europe (and its toilets) than I am, has assured me that sit-down toilets are now (almost) the norm, so hopefully I won't have any problems when I go over there. Hi Blake; I'm glad to hear you had only one accident over the summer. I'm over at Steph's house (no, we haven't buddy dumped, or even buddy peed, yet), so I'll hand the keyboard over to here. Luv, Alex :)
To Some Girl: Great story! 4 cups is definitely an incredible feat at any age, let alone only 11 years old. If I might ask, how old are you now? And have you had any other desperate experiences in your late teen/early adult years? I can only imagine the amount you must be capable of producing now, considering the torrent you produced at only 11 years. Please write more! Thankx
Hi guys! Paul, AWESOME post about your dumps after eating at the Indian resturant!!! I often eat Indian food, and *pay for it* afterwards. Although my shitting after eating Indian (or other spicy foods) isn't as extreme as you described, I have felt a "burning sensation" in my butt-hole as I let out the previous night's meal (I usually eat Indian food in the evening and dump it out the next morning). I usually don't moan or make noises when I'm on the toilet (except when I'm really constipated), but nobody would want to be in the bathroom after I take one of those shits :) Nicola, I'm a vegetarian (have been for over 5 years) and I'm often irregular. I remember, when I was a kid, that I often had the runs after eating meat (especially fast food, i.e. McDonalds or Wendy's)- some of my friends, and some who've posted on here, often have the runs after eating meat. Well, anyway, sometimes I go 2-3 times a day, sometimes I don't go for 2-3 days; I think 5 days was the record that I went without taking a dump. I never take laxatives, nor do I take anti-diahrrea medicine (Kaopectate, etc)- I just let "nature take its course." As Alex mentioned, I have been away for a few days, but I have no toilet stories to report (either about myself or others). Peace and love to all, Steph
Just a note for you girls, and some of you guys. I just saw a movie, 'Kiss Me Guido' which had two toilet scenes. The first is a main character, very nice looking. You see him cover the seat with toilet paper, pull down his underwear, and sit for a few seconds. Very nice! The second is about the same, but with this guys father, complete with sound effects. Enjoy.
Aaron: Yes I am indeedy 16 just like yoou. I don't get constipated very often. This is mostly becuase It drink at least 2 to 4 cans of Cola every day. There is one thing that annoys me. After I have a fairly soft motiom sometimes there is still a little bit still in there. However sometimes no amount of pushing will get it out. I will then put some vasoline(sp?) in a piece of tp and then stick it up my anus. I push this out and that clears out anything in my lower back passage. It should probably work for anyone.
What is a suppository?
Jeff A.
I mentioned before about a girl I knew from art school. One time when I was over at her house, she got out of bed early one morning, and I heard her go into the bathroom and lock the door. I got up to listen at the door. She would never let me see her poop, but she would fart in my presence all the time, and giggled like crazy because of it. Especially if they smelled. She was an all time giggler, with a tremendous sense of humor. (In case anybody hasn'nt read the original post, she's the one who burst into the bathroom on me with a polaroid camera and took a picture of me on the toilet.) So, as I listened, I could hear her in there grunting, and dropping sloppy turds at random. Each time she'd plop, there'd be an "oaahhhhhh." to follow. There'd be this long, wet, "splickly" sound just before a long series of plops. We'd been out drinking the night before, and I think she was paying the price. She sat in there for about 7 minutes, and I don't remember how much she did, because there'd sometimes be several plops in a row. It was a big job though. It amazed me how much she could poop, because she was such a small girl. I never got to see her doing a #2, except for a brief instant after a retalliatory strike against her for barging in on me. She pulled her shirt down to cover herself, and ordered me back out. I snapped her panties against her leg, and left. I did listen to her at the door a few times, and each time, when she came back out, it was time to open the windows! ALL of the windows! After I heard her start to wipe, I went back to bed and waited for her. She came back in after a few minutes, and saw that I was awake, and jumped in bed next to me, and said in a little girl type voice, "I went poo-poo!" I think she was proud of her dumps, because she always reported on her visits to the bathroom whenever she pooped. She wouldn't let me watch, but she'd go into great, incredible detail about the size and weight of her turds, how much she wiped, how bad it smelled, and how many she dropped. As a part time job, she worked at a hamburger place, and one night at closing when I came to pick her up, she and a few of the other girls were standing around the ladies room door laughing. I went over to see what was up, and she took me by the hand into a stall and showed me one of the longest turds I'd ever seen! It circled around the bowl, and was real thick, and perfectly cylindrical. It looked to be about 20" long. (I doubt it was that long, but that's how it looked.) The funny part was, there was no used toilet paper in there with it. She was giggling so hard, I thought she'd wet her pants. She said "It's a King Kong turd!" She pointed to one of her co-workers who was standing there watching my reaction to it, and said "Cheryl did it!" The girl smacked her in the shoulder hard and said "I DID NOT!!!" We all specualated on who could've left it, making up stories as we went along. In the end, nobody knew who laid the mystery floater. There was a guy on their shift, and he! was always teasing the girls, telling them he was going to fix them up with his sleaziest friends, and she yelled back at him at one point and said, "I'm gonna go get that big turd, and put it on a bun for ya if you don't shut up!" Sometimes on her breaks, she'd point out women customers who were still in there eating, and describe what they did in the ladies room whenever she was in there with them. She'd go into great detail about who was grunting, farting, plopping, and stinking, and took a particular joy in the women who had the "squirts" Sometimes she'd even mimic a woman's grunt sounds, complete with facial contortions,and she'd kill me! I never laughed so hard at bathroom humor!. Never in my life had I ever received so much insight as to the goings on in a women's restroom. I'm surprised that she wasn't peeking over stalls to get a full view. She even told me once, that her favorite job there was changing the towels in the men's room, because guys loved to pee right in front of her, and she could see "all kinds of thingies, in all sizes, shapes, and colors." She was hillarious. I regret that I never got to watch her go "poo-poo". My love to all, you're the best!!!
To Brent C........................ Yes, I too experience a burning sensation with Dulcolax suppositories but it is not all that bad really and I tolerate it as part of what it takes in order to have a movement if my constipation is in one of its' more stubborn phases. The advantage of suppositories is that you can use them and know that 20 minutes after taking one they will start to work. Laxatives taken by mouth always seem to work at the most inoportune (sp? times. And yes, I too have to strain and grunt even with a suppository. But they have always helped me to go when I absolutely couldn't do anything on my own. I probably have to resort to them about 2 or 3 times a month, and haven't used one since the instance mentioned here in a previous post. This morning after waking up and a couple cups of coffee I got on the toilet to see if I might be able to have a movement. In the course of 15 minutes of intermittant straining and grunting I did in fact have a movement of a couple of vary hard stools maybe 4 inches long and 2 in diameter, followed by several hard smaller pieces about the size of a cherry tomato. This is about average for me, and will do a movement like this every one or two days. I hope that you manage to pass your movement without needing anything to help. Let us know.
Russia, continued. Next day, the stadium was packed with female runners and gymnasts. After everyone had gone, I needed a poo and found the Zhenskee next to the girls' changing room. Typically russian, everything old, broken or just weird; 7 stalls like the ones I described yesterday, wash-out pans set into a tiled squatting platform, but this time without cubicles or doors, just curtains between the pans. Which one to use? My choices were: No.1, Broken flush tank, water trickling lazily into a pan full of newspaper and poos. No.2, Pan empty but broken; no flush. A bucket of water stood in the pan. No.3, Blocked with big jobbies, newspaper and a sanitary pad or two; water was dribbling over the rim onto the floor. No.4, full of poo and paper, with a panty liner on top; I tried the flush but the pan was already blocked. No.5, ahem. I am not usually fazed by big motions, having lived with Janet and done some whoppers myself. But this! Three firm poos, one longer than the pan and resting on the rim, lay there like giant cucumbers. I tried to visualise one of the fit, supple bodies I had seen earlier doing them. I couldn't see it. How about the tall, big framed women at reception? Nope. I couldn't imagine how anyone could have room in her bum for all that, nor the courage to drop it in front of her friends. Then I noticed that another girl had buddy dumped on top, leaving a more ladylike deposit in a heap near the front. Neither had used any paper. I looked no further, undid my jeans, squatted and strained. I was struck by the immodesty of these loos, where passers by can see not only you and your bum, but everything you've done and anything on its way! Then the unimaginable happened; a charwoman came in, and told me crossly (in russian) that I had made a mistake and was in the Ladies'. My command of the language failed as I tried to apologise, and explain that I was busy. I don't think she was listening - she couldn't have helped noticing the surreal sized pile beneath me. I think I dropped one in front of her, but I'm not sure. My head was reeling somewhat, as I would never expose myself to a stranger, and hell, did I feel exposed, despite my jeans hiding my private parts. "Humph", she commented, and moved on. I finished, didn't need wiping (luckily) and tried to flush, but the tank was dry. So I did it the russian way; got the bucket and tipped it into the pan, totally failing to shift the mess down the drain. I saw the woman, busy with a plunger in No.3. "Oonitaz zasorin?" (Blocked?) I asked, trying to regain my dignity with light conversation. "They always are after the games", she said. "The girls are the worst." So there we have it; proof that fit women do the biggest poos. Crimson.

Hi Nicky I haven't seen posts from Diskputers in a while. I think he's 16 (like me) and lots of stuff he's posted here like being really constipated sounds like my life. I don't remember seeing your posts before. From this one, it seems like your poops are easy...like you don't have to push hard and stuff. Do you ever get constipated? I have another story to tell but I can't right now. Aaron
Paul's and Greg's tale about the "Ring of Fire" amused me. A few weeks ago myself and some of the other girls I work with had a Pizza with lots of Chillis and Jalapeno Peppers. Now it was hot at the time but the next morning I went to the toilet for a motion. What came out was solid enough, a long fat sausage shaped jobbie but DID IT BURN! It was one of those really big fat smooth ones that comes out slowly and it felt as if I was passing a red hot bar of iron. My arse surely throbbed and I expected it to sizzle when it hit the water. And did it smell! I didnt have any digestive problems though apart from the fact that I spent most of that day farting loudly and with a powerful smell so much that one of the lads said I'd have scorch marks in the seat of my knickers. I also agree with George, I dont take laxatives if I get constipated but find that drinking more water or taking more exercise usually helps. A good game of field hockey or netball normally gets things moving and I have often found that some of the other girls in the team do a good big motion after the game in the changing room toilets and I have seen some whoppers in the pans . Unlike Michael I would consider having a motion 3 times a day to be very unusual. Once a day is usually considered right but some people only go twice a week while others do have a poo 3 times daily, it depends on your system and diet. Vegetarians tend to defecate more frequently and pass looser stools than meat eaters I have been told. Sometimes I dont go for a couple of days but this doen't bother me at all.
some girl
thanx 4 the tips celeste. Here is my story : I was about 11yrs old,and I was outside in the woods playing with a friend. We had been playing for hours, and soon we both needed to go pee. I really had to go. We both had urinated standing up before so thats what we were going to do then. We kept walking trying to get to the place we usually went when we had to go. I had to go so bad by then that i was hurting, and holding myself. She was laughing,because she has more control than me. We were almost there it was a good thing because i was starting to go a little in my pants. Then i felt like i was about to explode,and i let go and it splurted out. I grabbed myself,and ran over to a tree, dropped my pants and started to pee,i was still kinda holding myself trying not to pee down into my pants. My friend came over and did the same,only she didn't hold herself. she peed about a foot in front of her, but i was peeing so hard that it went about 3ft.She finnished in about 20 seconds, i was still going. I finished about 45 seconds later. I must have peed for about a minute and a half,and i know i went at least 4 cup fulls.
having had 3 quarts of baked beans and walked 20 miles to generate some of the smellest turds this side of heaven.
This is a marvelous webpage! :-) I came upon you all by accident while surfing and I was delighted to read of so many people with the same fascination as myself, being in passing large solid turds and hearing and seeing others doing so. I am now 65 but still an active person and am lucky that my wife, Joanne, who is 60 goes along with my interests and we watch each other having a poo. We are both quite ???? and pass nice big solid ones, big jobbies as many of the regular writers to this site call them. I have been into such matters since I was a kid but really got turned on to defecation when I was evacuated as many children in Britain were at the start of WW2 in 1939 when I was 6. I was moved from London to live with a family on a farm outside Ludlow in Shropshire for a few years. They had a more open attitude towards natural functions, as most farming and country people have, and I soon got used to seeing the other kids in the family boys and girls, defecate and observing me doing so. Also like most of the posters here I enjoy the sound effects of someone having a nice big solid motion. The postings from Moira and George are particularly interesting, as they seem to be younger versions of Joanne and I, and they know a lot about this subject. Donna also has many interesting tales to tell. Like her we both have had a motion outdoors sometimes when on a walk in the countryside although we dont deliberately set out to do so. On a different tack, I was puzzled by Michael's saying that "humans should have a bowel movement 3 times a day". I would consider this unusual especially if the stools were loose. In my youth once a day was considered the norm and Joanne and I tend to do so although sometimes we do go a couple of days without . Our jobbies are usually firm to easy in consistency, about 10 to 12 inches long and 2 inches thick. Mine tend to be carrot shaped and sink but Joanne's are usually curved and float at first but sink after about 10 minutes or so. Although we didn't know the expression until we read this site, we have "buddy dumped" with each other for years. Yesterday after lunch we had a good "buddy dump" together. We often find that we need to have a motion at the same time. I suppose after 40 years people will synchronise. Anyway, we both felt the need to have a motion so we went into the toilet and I let Joanne go first, as I usually do. She sat on the pan with her skirt gathered up and her pale blue panties down at her knees. I gently rubbed her ???? as she did her wee wee then with an "OO! OO!" passed a nice big easy motion with the "crackling" sound other readers mention and which dropped into the pan with a "Ku-ploonk!". She got up and we both looked at the large fat sausage floating in the toilet. I then undid my trousers, pulled down my underpants, and with Joanne rubbing my ???? did my jobbie, which was as usual a fat carrot shaped turd which made a "Kur-sploosh! sound. After we had both had a good look at our efforts we pulled the flush but as often happens it took a good 4 flushes to get our combined load to go aw! ay. Best wishes to all of you and its not just the younger set who are into toilet fun. Pensioners such as us enjoy this too! Any other oldies out there who are into defecation?
Hi guys. Hi, Silent Spice; yes, I do remember you. I normally shit once or twice daily, but I've really been a "pooper" this week... Let me explain. I haven't eaten more than usual, or anything out of the ordinary [I'm a pretty fussy eater, so I don't like to "experiment" with new or different foods], but I've gone to the bathroom more than usual. On Monday, I went three times, once in the morning (usual for me), at lunchtime, and then around 6 pm. Each time I let out two logs and had to wipe five times. I went FIVE (caps intended) times on Tuesday, in the morning before going to work (at my summer job in NYC), again around 10 am, again at 1pm, again at 6pm, and last, but not least, at 9pm. I plopped one or two jobbies each time and had to wipe four to seven times; the one I took at 1:00 was especially "gooey." Yuck! Needless to say, my bum-crack was pretty sore from all that wiping (about 25-30 times in just over 36 hours)- I always wipe very thoroughly, as many of you already know. I didn't have to go on Wednesday morning, but I did clean my butt in the shower, as I always do. Ouch, I must have gotten a rash from all that wiping- there was some excess poop, and blood (!) on the washcloth. I pre-cleaned the soiled washcloth with shampoo (something I also always do) and threw it into the pail. I would like to add that I did have small (but still too big for me, you) skid-marks on my panties on both Tuesday and Wednesday morning. My "routine" is back to normal as of now (Friday evening)- I don't know why I shat (? - is "shat" the past tense of shit? Or is "shitted" more acceptable? Oh, the vocabulary of the bathroom :) ] so much over those couple of days. Paul, my best friend Steph (who's been away for the last few days) will love reading your post about Indian food. She has had many "hot dumps" (her words) after eating spicy, notably Indian, foods. Love to all. Alex :)
Some Guy
Movie Fan- don't forget about Operation Condor. There's a woman rushing to get to the toilet and she pees real hard. In Rumble in the Bronx a woman is on the toilet but it doesn't show which number she's doing. Maybe Jackie Chan is a female pee enthusiast, too. There is a big list of pee movies but I can't list the site here. Now I gotta see Senseless. While we're talking about toilets, there was a plumbers horror stories special on the radio a while ago. One plumber called in and told about the time a families toilet was stopped up after the teenage daughter left it. The plumber tried the plunger and even the little wire snake but he couldn't get anything out. The plumber had to remove the toilet from the floor and inside the pipes he found a carrot with a condom over it. Safe sex taken too far? Great posts Silke, Kim, Randi, Jeff and all the rest. And I took out a ruler and thought about the size of the dumps some of you claim. Donna said hers was 2-1/4 in. which seem about normal for a ???? woman, but Richard 2.5 to 3!!! inches for the miniskirt woman? She would be walking funny after that one.

When you can't get to the park for a family picnic or venture outside to fly a kite with the kids because the forecast isn't in your favor, it's time to have some fun at home. Being stuck indoors on a stormy day is the perfect opportunity for kids to use their imaginations, tap into their creativity, and learn the value of upcycling materials that they already have access to at home in order to create something completely new. Sound familiar? That's exactly what caterpillars do, weaving a cocoon and eventually emerging as a beautiful butterfly.
To make your own DIY egg carton butterflies, grab an empty earth-friendly Nellie's Free Range Egg carton or two from the recycling bin. Since they have a handy dandy double lid to protect the eggs from jostling around, each 12-count Nellie's Free Range Egg carton can be made into a total of 6 butterflies. With just a few other supplies, you'll have everything you need to start crafting.
These DIY butterflies make adorable gifts, or can be added to your garden, propped up next to house plants, or used as decoration in the kids' bedrooms. The sky's the limit when you spread your wings like a butterfly!
Did you create your own DIY upcycled egg carton butterflies? Tag your photos with #nelliesfreerange so we can see! Or click here to see our other fun afternoon activites you can enjoy with the kids. And don't forget to check out Twinkle Twinkle Little Party for more inspiration.
So what are the small reusable cups for? In the instructions the small reusable cups is not at all memtioned?

Whether it's watching wide-eyed as Trump swept the electoral college, experiencing Trump-related anxiety, feeling like Hillary called you a deplorable, watching your favorite politician get trounced in the primaries or discovering someone you like voted for the candidate you abhor, this election has taken a toll on all of us.
More than 60% of Americans were stressed about this election, according to a survey we conducted. All of the people we surveyed experienced anxiety about at least one candidate being elected. They also reported election-related strain on their relationships and work.
Now it's time to heal. Keep reading to learn how to restore your mental health and relationships in the wake of this grueling election cycle.
Spend Time Around People and Things That Bring Joy
What do babies and dogs have in common? Both of them bring joy (and don't have the ability to express divisive political opinions).
To restore your faith in innocence and kindness, addiction specialist Audrey Hope recommends spending time with dogs and children and watching cartoons. You need something good to wash away the lingering stench of the election.
Apologizing to People
Political discourse easily upsets us, so we make statements or rude comments we didn't mean. We post inflammatory rants on social media. Sometimes we unintentionally insult the people who have different views than us. This divisive election has exacerbated this issue.
"We need to apologize to the friends, neighbors and loved ones we may have alienated with harsh talk," said therapist Gretchen Kubacky.
This is a crucial part of the healing. Spend some time thinking about who you might have offended during the election cycle.
Repairing Relationships and Changing Your Thinking
This election has fractured our relationships more than any other in recent history.
"I have clients who are very stressed about how to approach co-workers, friends, coaches, tutors, family friends, etc. once they find out they are of different political views," said psychologist Josh Klapow. As a result of this stress, Klapow's clients have unfriended people on Facebook, threatened to end romantic relationships if someone voted a particular way and become ambivalent about many of their social connections.
Kaitlyn is one of many people whose familial relationships have been affected by the election. When she learned her mother had a "deep-rooted hatred" of Hillary Clinton, tension began to arise.
Because her mother lives in a swing state, Kaitlyn wanted her to vote for Hillary to defeat Trump. Kaitlyn believes Trump is a horrible person who, as president, will damage our country. Her mother was ambivalent, though. Unlike Kaitlyn, she didn't believe there was a clear difference in the quality of the candidates.
"I can't understand it and she can't explain it," Kaitlyn said.
Her mother's attitude frustrated Kaitlyn and created a void between the two of them. Before the election cycle, they spoke every other day. Now they speak rarely.
The election has also made Kaitlyn resent parts of her life she used to feel neutral toward.
"[My mother] gets a lot of her information from Facebook, and it's clearly false," she said. "It makes me hate Facebook."
Now that the election is over, Kaitlyn and her mother will decide whether they want to heal.
For people like Kaitlyn, Klapow recommends changing the thinking process when reacting to political views they instinctively judge.
"Your reaction to individuals with different political views is all about you, not them," he said.
Here are some tips he provided for changing your thinking:
- Be prepared to be surprised
- Think about whether the political view actually changes your relationships before you react to what the person is saying
- When people express an opinion, they are not inviting you to debate them
- If the topic is too emotional, ignore it
- Remember that someone's political views are only a small part of who they are
Taking a Break from the News and Social Media
The recent election cycle was like a series of train wrecks we couldn't peel our eyes away from. We wanted to think about something else, but we couldn't. It was too juicy.
Now that it's over, let's take a break from the news cycle and social media. All the analysis, angry rants and commentary in the world won't change the result.
Taking a Hard Look at Ourselves
The key emotion in this election has been resentment, according to Pratik Chougule, the former policy coordinator for the Huckabee and Trump campaigns.
"A lot of what we see in the rhetoric of our leaders is reflective of how we are feeling," Chougule said. "People feel besieged by cultural forces they don't understand or feel they can't control."
We may not be able to control exactly what the candidates do, but we do create the environment that allows them to rise to power. Now that the election is done, we need to look inward and figure out how we can be better people. This will help improve our politics, emotions and relationships.
If You're Freaking Out Because Trump Won
If you're panicking because you worry Trump is going to destroy our country, there are ways to calm down. Therapist and author Tina B. Tessina recommended some steps to deal with general panic. Try applying these ones to the election.
- Recognize you are in a state of panic. If your heart is racing, you're flushed or shouting nonsense, take a moment to acknowledge that.
- Take deep breaths.
- Look at the facts. Many people might cause you to panic by using hyperbole, lying or exaggerating. Try to see past that by conducting research and gaining information from reliable, unbiased sources.
By learning to think differently and manage our emotions, we can heal the scars of this election cycle. Elections change every four years, but your mental health is always important.

Arts, Culture and Heritage
Members of the Arts Council of the North Okanagan invite you to an exhibit of earthworks and plein air paintings. Artists were encouraged to spend time creating in the great outdoors, and finding ways to bring that art indoors, to the Vernon Community Arts Centre.
Earthworks are generally made by shaping the land itself or by making forms in the land using natural materials like rocks or tree branches. They can range from subtle, temporary interventions in the landscape to significant, sculptural, long lasting alterations. For this exhibit, we asked artists to bring the land into the Vernon Community Arts Centre via paintings, sculptures, photographs or other creating installations that incorporate natural materials such as tree branches, foliage, rocks, or clay. Some of these works may also retain their origins in the community and public places, so we can also extend the exhibit back into nature where everything stemmed from.

Donald Trump is evil! He is a racist, is divisive, is the cause of violence.... Blah, blah, blah. So what? Is he any worse than any other of these scumbags that are running for president?
You have to be a scumbag to be president. Hillary is evil incarnate and a scumbagette. That's why she is the perfect candidate for president. But Hillary isn't funny, so I don't like her.
Don is funny.
If I voted, I'd vote for Donald Trum....... Er, no, I wouldn't. I wouldn't vote... I don't vote. Ever.
But I do really enjoy the show. I especially enjoy the squirming.
Regular readers will know how much of a crusade I've promoted against TV watching and the Lame Stream Mass Media for well over fifteen years. It is hilarious how the MSM and TPTB keep trying to paint Teflon Don in a bad light, but he keeps coming back smelling like roses.
Don't think I am dissing the Don. I am not. I laugh at how many said he wasn't a "viable" or "serious politician" what? As if Hillary or these other people are?
Donald is his own 5 star entertainment. Recently, even after all the claims Don is racist, Donald Trump has already secured the white supremacist vote (Kill colored people!), the Nazi vote (Kill the blacks!) and now has the Nation of Islam vote (Kill Whitey).
I guess Trump is now the equal opportunity hate group candidate of choice.
Now, if Trump is such a racist, how in the world could Louis Farrakhan endorse him?
That's right. And he got Clint Eastwood too.
(By the way, Clint Eastwood is my favorite actor of all time and I've admired Louis Farrakhan for decades as a man who speaks truth to power.)
I expect that Trump will be president.
I like the entertainment factor in play here. The Don would be great for late night comedy shows. That's why I'm a fan.
Hanafuda Cards
On that note, in Japan, the Japanese call a deck of poker cards, "Trump." So "Trump" is a great name for a cartoon president (well, they are all cartoons, aren't they?) Also, in Japan, there is a traditional card game called, "Hanafuda." In the game, Hanafuda, it is the last card, the all-mighty card, that wins the game. That card is called, "Kirifuda."
"Kirifuda" in English translates exactly to "Trump."
You couldn't make this shit up!!!! Isn't that an amazing coincidence? Isn't this simply hilarious?
I'm hoping the Don wins and then Japan elects a prime minister named, "Kirifuda."
Japanese Prime Minister could run on a platform like, "Kirifuda will not be Trumped by Trump!" (English translation: Trump will not be Trumped by Trump!)
That would be hilarious. No! I mean, "That would be huuuge!"
By the way: Donald Trump has resuscitated a word in the English language and made it cool for the first time in its existence. I'm going to start using the word "Huge!" in many of my conversations. A trend has begun!
And it's gonna be HUGE!
NOTES: To paraphrase Lew Rockwell, the US presidency is like a donut shop.
Every 4 years or so, we elect a new shop manager (president). But we never see who actually owns the donut shop or the parking lots, (the Military Industrial Complex and the big banks). The new candidates for manager tell us, 'Americans are fat, we need to eat healthy! We can change!' and they get elected to manager.
The customers (you) cheer!
But, as time goes by, even though the new manager still gives lip service to eating healthy, if he doesn't sell the 24 boxes of glazed donuts (and feed the banks and the Military Industrial Complex), then he and his pals are out of a job."
And that's why the US presidency is like a donut shop.
You don't think for a half a second that one of these people can come in and change 150 years of US expansionist and imperialist history, do you?

Until very recently, the prevailing ethnic tension in Canada's province of Quebec—between the French-speaking Roman Catholic; majority and the strong minority of English Protestants—stimulated the development of a large, cohesive Jewish community, perhaps the most vigorous in North America. Quebec's climate of candid ethnicity had made Montreal, where most immigrants to Canada once settled, an increasingly polyglot, cosmopolitan center, hospitable to groups (like the Jews) that could readily maintain their distinctiveness. But with the rise of a separatist nationalistic movement, culminating in the election last November of the Parti Québecois, the atmosphere has rapidly changed. For the first time in the history of Canada, a provincial government has been elected that is committed to taking Quebec out of the confederation. Whether or not it is ultimately successful, the French Canadian bid for separate statehood has already resulted in proposed legislation and policies of dubious constitutionality, if not actual threat to individual civil liberties. Ever a barometer of change, the Jewish community has entered upon a state of almost continuous caucus that reflects uncertainty about the present and anxiety about the future.
From the point of view of French Canadian nationalists, the potential erosion of minorities in Quebec is a negligible consideration in the struggle for sovereignty. Themselves a minority of 6 million in a country of 23 million (and on a continent where some 225 million speak English as a native tongue), the French Canadians feel they must effectively protect themselves from cultural extinction. The French Canadian birth rate in Quebec, once so high it was dubbed "the revenge of the cradles," has now dropped to become the lowest in Canada. Immigrants to the province, while maintaining solidarity with their own ethnic origins, drifted into the English-language stream, swelling the proportion of "Anglophones" in the overall population. Most disturbing, from the nationalist perspective, was the steady flow of upwardly mobile French Canadians into the English school system and social milieu where opportunities for personal advancement have been more plentiful and attractive. The penetration into Canada of American media, and the increasing influence of English in cultural as well as economic affairs, seemed to insure a dilution of ethnic consciousness and a diminution of the French language base.
Like all nationalist movements, the separatists of Quebec are fired not merely by concerns for their future, but by grievances of the past. As the descendants of the "conquered" in the battle between the British and the French for control of this part of the New World, the French Canadians seem to have inherited, as part of their historical baggage, a sense of collective victimization. Although they form some 80 per cent of Quebec's population, French Canadians point out that they have not achieved economic power or influence in any relation to their numbers. The laissez-faire policy of Quebec politicians in the mid-century period of rapid industrialization and expansion brought increased prosperity to the province, but it also guaranteed the linguistic domination of English, the language of most capital and management. Separatists insist that the historical wrong can only be righted, the economic and social inequities balanced, and the cultural threat dissipated, in an independent Quebec. The French Canadian therefore advocates affirmative action, but of a kind that would culminate not in integration but in a separate but equal constitutional status.
With a sense of eerie familiarity, Quebec's community of 115,000 Jews finds itself beset by a crise de conscience: on the one hand, Jews understand, even sympathize with, the aspirations for self-renewal on the part of French Canadians. At the same time, Jews fear the inevitable fallout of these nationalist impulses and oppose their repressive dimensions. They also wonder at what point their own particularism, so acceptable in what was once an atmosphere of ethnic pluralism, will stick in the craw of a nationalist bid for domination. Where the individual Jew weighs the spiritual and material costs on the personal level, for the Jewish community as a whole the matter is more complex: does the uniqueness of the Montreal Jewish community justify a special effort at adaptation to the new situation, in order to protect and nurture the community's many institutions and cultural achievements? Or is the Montreal experience now being revealed as just another piece of evidence corroborating the old Zionist contention that the Diaspora can never provide a wholly comfortable home for Jews?
The present tensions have impressed upon Montreal Jewry an awareness of its previous independence, and of the ripe promise that may now remain forever unrealized. The virtues of Jewish communal and cultural life in the city are only now being appreciated and understood. In themselves, the Jewish health and welfare agencies, the many social and cultural organizations, may not set Montreal apart from American cities with comparable Jewish populations. But the centripetal force of communal activity is stronger there than elsewhere, and for most Montreal Jews the other "solitudes"—French and English—seem not only uninviting but uncompelling when compared to the dynamic activity within the Jewish community itself.
Jewish Montreal is still largely an immigrant community. While some local Jews can trace back their Quebec ancestry seven generations, the majority have come since 1920, and a third of the community since World War II. In religious affiliations, by far the greatest numbers are either Orthodox or right-wing Conservative; of thirty-odd congregations, only three are Reform and one Re-constructionist. The local Yiddish drama group, celebrating its twenty-fifth consecutive season, can count on several weeks of sellout performances every year. Within the overall "shtetl demography" of Montreal (which includes the municipality of Côte St. Luc, with the largest Jewish majority in North America), there is lively social activity of both a synagogue and street-corner variety, and even a rudimentary intellectual ferment that finds expression in a growing number of home-study groups and formal lecture series.
For the many Canadian Jewish writers who grew up in the city or made it their home, the Jewish milieu seemed a sensitive plant, carefully nurtured in the shadow of the Cross. In the subtle but charged struggle between French and English for cultural dominance, the Jew played a special role, sharing the Englishman's tongue but more of the Frenchman's perspective. A. M. Klein, who is recognized as one of Canada's finest poets, explored, sometimes with great lyrical intensity, sometimes with a sense of comic dislocation, the image of the Jew breaking his way into English-style acceptance while recognizing a deeper bond with the French-Canadian "provincial," like himself a singer of some distant ballad:
all refrain,
which turns about its longing, and seems to
to make a pleasure out of repeated pain. . . .
Poets writing in Yiddish and in English delighted in the spicy cultural distinctiveness of Quebec:
Layton, my friend Lazarovitch,
no Jew was ever lost
while we two dance joyously
in this French province,
cold and oceans west of the temple,
the snow canyoned on the twigs
like forbidden Sabbath manna;
I say no Jew was ever lost
while we weave and billow the handkerchief
into a burning cloud,
measuring all of heaven
with our stitching thumbs.
There may be more echo than original Jewish music in this song by Leonard Cohen, but the climate has inspired him, his fellow poet-dancer Irving Layton, and a host of younger writers to explore the mythology of their own past by comparing it with that of others.
Nor have writers been alone in feeling an almost instinctive sympathy for the French Canadian. Indeed, the Jewish community as a whole has in the past reacted quite positively to the assertion of French Canadian identity. For the first ten years of the "Quiet Revolution" in the 60's, when the predecessor Liberal government generated a program of social, political, and educational reform that literally revolutionized Quebec society, the Jews considered themselves its beneficiaries and were highly responsive to the impulse for reform. Already enjoying the largest percentage of bilingual members among ethnic groups in Quebec, Jews voluntarily undertook to promote French in their schools, agencies, and institutions. Though the acceptance of the "fait français" did not proceed as quickly as some would have liked, Jews in general recognized in the French nationalist movement an opportunity for cultural enrichment and even a model for cultural solidarity. At the same time, the Montreal Jewish community was itself enriched by the immigration of some 20,000 French-speaking Jews, largely from North Africa, whose arrival comported well with the changing profile of Quebec. The high point of French Canadian nationalism in the 60's was also the watershed of creative Jewish communal life in Quebec.
But the French Canadian renaissance of the 60's also took another direction. The brief flare of violence a decade ago when the FLQ, the Front for the Liberation of Quebec, planted bombs in mailboxes, kidnapped the British High Commissioner, and murdered the Quebec Minister of Labor, jolted Quebecers out of their political complacency, reminding them of areas of the globe where competing cultures and groups solve their problems in more sinister ways.
Some of the apprehensions of those years linger on in the response of the English and the Jews, and some French-speaking Quebecers as well, to the new government of René Lévesque. To be sure, the Parti Québecois has scrupulously dissociated itself from violent tactics, emphasizing its commitment to the democratic process in the struggle for independence. Nonetheless, in promising fair treatment of "Anglophones," government spokesmen do not hesitate to invoke the threat of a popular uprising if the current "oppression" of French Canadians is not alleviated. Some ministers talk openly of the "collective guilt" of the English. As the outward looking, progressive, "Quiet Revolution" gives way to the defensive "new society" that the Parti Québecois has proclaimed, a troubled restlessness has come to beset all those who have reason to believe that the embrace of the "new society" may not extend to them.
The Jews, of course, are haunted by a national memory that interprets current events in an ominous light. The decision of the Parti Québecois, ince" to "Je me souviens" provokes poignant re-on Quebec's license plates from "La belle province" to "Je me souviens" provokes poignant reflection on the different impulses and memories of the two communities. When the French Canadian says, "I remember," he thinks of the glories of New France, the conquest by the English, and the need—as Cabinet Minister Camille Laurin put it—to "reconquer" his heritage and his future. When the Jews remember—and the dialectics of nationalism have certainly stirred their own collective consciousness—they instinctively respond, "Never again." There are things in Jewish history too terrible to be believed but not too terrible to have happened. When the jubilant mass of Parti Québecois supporters at the victory rally of November 15 sang a French version of "Tomorrow Belongs To Me," the Nazi party song from Cabaret that has unfortunately been adopted as a French Canadian nationalist hymn, it triggered in countless Jewish minds fresh images of storm-troopers and jack-boots in the night.
At many points the agenda of French Canadian nationalism will encounter and possibly conflict with Jewish concerns. In the field of education, where Jews have staked out their most considerable independent claim, it already has. Thanks in large part to the "Quiet Revolution" of the 60's, Quebec's network of privately-financed Jewish day schools has enjoyed "associate status" with Catholic and Protestant schools and has been provided with per-capita subsidies to cover the cost of the general, non-ethnic curriculum. In the early 70's, the government's grants to these schools were made conditional on an increase in the hours of French instruction, but for the new Lévesque government, bilingual English and French instruction is itself unacceptable. French must now replace English as the language of secular study; otherwise, the government threatens to withdraw its funding altogether. Having grown dependent on heavy government subsidies, the schools must decide whether to withstand the pressure and be prepared to assume an enormously swollen financial burden, or to embrace the program of full "Francization" and suffer the consequences, which will almost certainly include further social insulation as well as a depreciation of the Jewish component of the curriculum.
Negotiations in this area, where Jews, appearing as Jews, have had their most extensive and intimate contacts with the new government, have been discouraging. Government spokesmen and bureaucrats, seemingly unaware of pedagogic consequences or of the actual level of French competence of the students, have submitted a succession of contradictory "minimal guidelines," some of which call for the virtual elimination of the Jewish curriculum and for the immediate transfer of "Francophone" (Sephardic) children out of those Jewish schools in which English is still the major language of instruction—the vast majority—thus undoing at a stroke a sustained effort on the part of the Jews to create an integrated community out of its two diverse subgroups. With the supposed intention of fostering French, and always with expressions of good will and even appreciation for Jewish accomplishments, the government is pursuing a veiled policy of intimidation; the Jewish community, at the point of greatest sensitivity, sees its autonomy threatened by the very financial support that had appeared to guarantee it.
As the argument over the Jewish day schools shows, the movement of Quebec toward French appears to be irreversible and inevitable, quite apart from the eventual nature of its government. Even Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the chief exponent of federalism and bilingualism, has said that there is nothing wrong in Quebec's being as French as Ontario is English. The White Paper on Language Policy proclaims the institutionalization of French not just in the schools but in every area of society—public administration, commerce, work. The recently introduced language legislation, symbolically titled Bill 1 (now cosmetically redrafted as Bill 101) proposes to enforce unilingualism through a stated policy of surveillance and the denunciation of "offenders."
Responsive as they might be to a graduated and uncoerced policy of making French the common language, many Quebec Jews regard English as a cultural gateway essential to Jewish self-expression. They are concerned lest they become isolated from the rest of continental Jewry with whom they enjoy an organic relation and for whom English is the lingua franca. While there may be nothing sacred about English as a language from a Jewish viewpoint, it has become an indispensable tool of Jewish communication, even in international affairs. Moreover, as Quebec Jews rather bitterly note, their adoption of the language was not simply a voluntary act or a historical accident but the consequence of legislative fiat. For in defining Jews as Protestants within the educational sphere, the government itself had dictated that the language of acculturation be English.
Nonetheless, were it only a question of unforced adjustment to a new linguistic reality, the Jews would probably adapt themselves, as they had already begun to do. They are concerned, however, that "Francization" may be only the initial expression of nationalism, not its ultimate satisfaction. It is presently unclear whether the term Québecois refers to all inhabitants of Quebec, as conciliatory public statements advise, or to French Canadians alone, as Bill 101 more concretely proclaims. Several years ago, an earnest Jewish study group in the city invited one of the leading separatist intellectuals, a sociologist from the Université de Montréal, to explain French Canadian aspirations. The presentation and discussion were predictably lively; the audience was surprisingly sympathetic. But when one of the most intense of the participants, herself a professor at the French university, asked, "And what can we do to help you?" the speaker replied, "Honestly, nothing. You can be with us but you cannot be of us." The potential for happy integration into an exclusivist society of this kind has been, in Jewish historical experience. slight.
What then of the future? Already a trickling exodus of the most mobile young professionals and businessmen has begun; as yet only the moving companies know for sure its exact size and composition. The process of emigration and Jewish population decline is all the more painful in a community whose sedentary nature expressed a desire for genuine rootedness, not merely an unimaginative attraction to security (for which it was often derided). Nowadays Montreal Jews are turning the joke on themselves. Question: how does a smart Montreal Jew talk to a dumb Montreal Jew? Answer: long distance.
Even supposing that French Canadian nationalism may be seized upon as an advantage by the Jewish community in deepening its own sense of peoplehood, of internal self-reliance, there may nevertheless develop a serious tension between the two groups. Quebec nationalism is becoming more introverted, politically narcissistic. Conversely, Jewish nationalism, perhaps driven to undo by its engaged commitment the sins of passivity of the 30's and 40's, calls upon Jews to become increasingly extroverted, to assume responsibilities for their fellow Jews in Israel, the Soviet Union, and in all other troubled places. If, to the Jews, Quebec nationalism appears insensitive, not to say contrary, so may the Jewish preoccupation with international Jewish causes and the Jewish dedication to cosmopolitanism as a mode of existence appear to the nationalists to be non-Québecois, if not actually contrary to Quebec interests.
There has never been any institutionalized or governmental anti-Semitism in Quebec, and Quebec's treatment of its Jewish minority compares favorably with that of other Western democracies. But in both the past and present lie seeds of anxiety concerning the future. Such manifestations of anti-Semitism as there have been have derived from both religious and nationalist sources, now ominously combined in a new political eschatology that has appropriated the religious symbolism of the Church and converted it into a secular nationalism. The emergence of "Palestinian" as the code-word for national liberation among intellectuals, artists, and journalists may signal the movement away from classical anti-Semitism, which denied the equal rights of Jews as citizens within a free society, to the "new" anti-Semitism, which denies the equal right of the Jewish people as a lawful sovereignty within the family of nations.
Whereas the previous generation of Quebec nationalists often found a model in the democratic state of Israel, and in Zionism as a national-liberation movement the present elite identifies the Israeli "settler-state" in Palestine with the Anglophone "settler-community" in Quebec. It is of sufficient concern when the head of the Quebec Teachers' Union attends the Conference on Zionism and Racism held in Libya last summer, becomes a member of the executive of a new organization created to fight "Zionism and racism," and returns to Quebec to state that the equation of Zionism with racism should be taught in all local schools. It is of yet greater concern when that statement—along with others of its kind by equally prominent spokesmen for labor and the media—remains on the record, without repudiation or condemnation from the French Canadian elite within or outside the government. The public character of these statements suggests a certain knowledge on the speakers' parts that the climate is not inhospitable to such expression.
Prime Minister René Lévesque, who enjoys the respect of the Jews as an honest and fair political leader, has revealed an almost callous indifference to Jewish sensibilities. In a newspaper article of September 6, 1972, Lévesque, then a commentator for the daily Journal de Montréal, wrote a column in reaction to the Munich massacre of Israeli athletes, in which he said:
. . . the Palestinians have just once more, before the face of the world, sullied their cause, which in itself was and remains a just cause. Brutally dispossessed for a quarter of a century, confined in exile while a whole new generation was born and grew up, driven to despair since the Six-Day War, the Palestinian nation feels itself forgotten, cut off, betrayed. In the face of Israel's imperial intransigence, the hypocritical collusion of the great powers, and the universal indifference of others, its activists see no other recourse but to the most senseless of extremisms.
While no one would dispute the right of a journalist to defend the Palestinian cause, the expression of that defense at that particular moment of mourning shows quite as much insensitivity to Jewish and Israeli feeling as it does sympathy for the Palestinians. In fact, Lévesque in this column comes close to excusing the massacre of the Israeli athletes.
The Jewish caucuses, then, are stimulated by these and a variety of accompanying concerns: the socialist platform of the Parti Québecois, which has received barely passing mention in the American press (and which is all the more remarkable in a province that has never elected a single socialist member of the legislature) may have consequences for a Jewish community linked historically to the capitalist ethic and a private-enterprise economy; the state implementation of the motto, "maîtres chez nous"—masters in our own house—may undermine the civil liberties as well as the self-governing nature of Jewish community life; the energy situation and faltering economy may invite heavy Arab investment and corresponding Arab political influence; and perhaps most important, the potential exodus of an entire young elite in this time of instability may result in a paralyzing social attrition.
The current situation gives the lie to a favored Quebec expression, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." Things have changed. The ethnic and religious pluralism which was so hospitable to Jewish creativity and self-determination seems to be giving way to a unidimensional nationalism that eschews minority distinctiveness. Though the claim has been made that since the November election French Canadians have emerged from the state of "adolescence" to a sense of comfortable maturity, many outside the movement are struck rather by the heightened rhetoric and political posturing that may well mask a confusion of purpose, and a troubled as well as troubling leadership. Some observers feel that the push for separation is already effectively beyond arrest, and will either realize itself politically or erupt in civil strife. Others argue, with centuries of Quebec history as precedent, that the pressure of separatism will ultimately spur a reinvigorated federalism, more sensitive than before to the large French minority and to regional distinctiveness of every kind. In all this the Jews are, as René Lévesque has recently noted, "the weathervane." Sensitive to the slightest change, they stand poised, waiting to see which way the winds will blow.
