Dark Sentiments 2013 – Day 28: The Eyes Have It

| October 28, 2013

The beauty of the feminine eye can lend itself to embellishment that transcends natural gifts, and as the ecstatically happy Mate, Husband, and co-conspirator of a Woman with eyes both to live and to die for, it is my decree that today’s Dark Sentiment is all about seasonal eye candy. This year has seen the […]

Made in Canada with Polish Parts

| September 8, 2013

The picture above explains the reason for my absence of late – Viktor Ryszard Lawrence Whynacht was born to Mrs. LFM and me at 02:10 Atlantic Daylight Time on 3 September 2013 – miraculously at almost exactly the same time and on the same date on which, in 2001, I grabbed his perfect Mother, pushed […]

On this day in 1987

| August 29, 2013

26 years ago today, at the Grace Maternity Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mother LFM (Izabella) gave birth to Mrs. LFM’s sister Dorothy (AKA Sister LFM). I offer this information in celebration of that occasion, and to set the stage for the picture above, taken by expectant Father Ryszard just before departure for that last […]

“Fucks” as a Sustainable Resource

| August 4, 2013

“It’s not that people don’t give a fuck; it’s that they don’t broadcast the topics for which fucks are given. Because giving a fuck can often lead to being hurt, fucks are given more cautiously and with lesser fanfare than was the case with the fucks given in previous time periods. The proper current etiquette […]

The Bared Breast – On Human Rights

Guest Post by Mrs. LFM

| June 22, 2013

  As a soon-to-be breastfeeding woman in Nova Scotia, the ignorance surrounding this topic has sparked my ire. This will likely be the first of many posts on the subject of breastfeeding, and today I want to focus on the lack of understanding – from ALL sides including breastfeeding mothers – what the right to […]

Worldly Wisdom Wednesday – The Power of a Name

| April 24, 2013

Yesterday, Mrs. LFM and I learned that the child we are expecting to be born this coming August is a boy. Evidently, even in matters that are beyond the reach of conscious control, we are still traditionalists. So now, the subject of naming this boy can be addressed. Unlike other parents who go at the […]

The LFM Posse Seized the Day!

| April 12, 2013

Last Sunday’s feature, Rightful Indignation and Facebook Need to Meet, put a spotlight on some particularly vile bullshit that was being permitted to exist and circulate all too freely on facebook. I asked for the support of all loyal LFM readers who were users of facebook in targeting the offenders through complaints to the website’s […]

Dear Ryszard

| March 24, 2013

My dear and most honoured Friend Ryszard, Wherever you are, I hope this letter finds you well and in good spirits. As always, and without further delay, let me express to you my undying gratitude for everything good that is in my life, as personified by Diana. When last we spoke, damn but it’s hard […]

Musings on Parental Song and Dance

| March 9, 2013

Sixteen weeks as of yesterday, and the SFM is ticking along like a little but fast growing clock. As I meditate on life with whoever has the honour of bestowing the treasured Title of Mother on Mrs. LFM, and Father upon me, I’m honing my repertoire of musical talents against the day when they will […]

Halifax – This Has to Stop

| February 17, 2013

“Never go to clubs with metal detectors. Sure it feels safe inside. But what about all those niggas waiting outside with guns? They know you ain’t got one.” ~ Chris Rock Chris Rock uses the word “nigga” the way I use GU (Great Unwashed). All considerations of race, social status, or job description notwithstanding, an […]
