Top Ten Groovy Oddities
Mood:  special
  1. A carbon-filament 4-watt light bulb has been burning in Livermore, California, fire-department since 1901, making it the world's oldest light bulb.(Proof that they don't make light bulbs like they used to.)
  2. In 2005, a Calgary man caught a boiled egg thrown from 275 feet away in his mouth.(He knew eggactly where to place his mouth.)
  3. A letter mailed to a small town in Germany in 1718 was finally delivered in 2004.(and you thought Canada Post was slow)
  4. In Switzerland, some mountain glaciers are wrapped in aluminum foil during the summer to keep them from melting.(Be nice to your ice and your ice will be nice to you.)
  5. A 26-year-old Croatian woman fell 40 feet from her apartment window in 2005 and survived after landing on her feet.(She's part human and part puddy cat.)
  6. The mouth of a hyena is so tough that the animal can chew a glass bottle without being cut.(It dumps the pieces out of its "glass hole".)
  7. The town of Florissant, Columbia elected Paco Bell as mayor. He's a donkey.(This was an improvement over the last mayor who was an ass.....)
  8. A woman in Kent, England, won a loudest scream contest by reaching 129 decibels, about the level of a pneumatic drill.(A week later, she also won the mother-in-law screaming contest.) 
  9. In 2005, a 100-year-old motorist in Belgium was given a discount on his car insurance because he hadn't had an accident in 80 years.(He was the only person in the world with an 80 star rating and he deserves it.)
  10. A slice of singer, Justin Timberlake's half-eaten French toast fetched $4,000 on E-Bay. That included syrup and a fork.(A turd from this singer didn't sell for nearly as much.)

Roxane Sparkes And Steve Hussey's Wedding
Mood:  celebratory

Roxane is my stepdaugher and Steve in my son-in-law. Finally, Steve's divorce came through and they had their wedding yesterday(After 10 years of living together what was the rush?).

It was inconvenient for me because the postal Christmas rush had started at the Toronto Exchange Office and I missed eight hours overtime yesterday and eight hours today.

I did, however, put the marriage and part of the reception on video tape. I, also, heard, Tori Hinds, sing beautifully the wedding song(Paul Brandt's "I do") which I downloaded as a karaoke version from the internet.

It was a treat to see most of Roxane's cousins(eight of them) at the wedding and we all had a good time with each other and the music/food/alcohol.

The reception was at Barkley's Square in Gilford and the place was done up like a Christmas shrine, lights, ornaments, presents, santas and reindeer everywhere.

I wish the couple all the best with their marriage and children. If minor sacrifices help bring happiness to my extented family, it's worth it.

Son Of God Comics: The Beginning Of A New Age

If you've been following "The Barron Blog" for any length of time, you would know a "New Age Vision Of Christianity" is coming through these pages.

I'm not dealing with experiences from 1st century Christianity, but Christianity as it developed over the last 1900 years. It would not be enough just to obtain rudimentary salvation of an individual soul and its memory. The being saved would have to be empowered sufficiently to operate as a guardian angel, healing spirit, invisible warrior, etc. This is development towards being a spiritual superhero or a son of God.

It's a thankless difficult job handling the lost and weak souls on earth, but someone has to do it.

Part of the training is being able to handle and build different bodies from different civilizations(e.g. cyborg, android, photonic, stick, doll, liquid, etc.) Another part of the training involves handling high tech equipment like space ships, advanced computer systems, virtual reality machines, etc.

Those who have difficulty coping with advanced technology of one kind or another are relegated to "The Continuum Worlds". Basically, these are worlds that look like the one you recently died out of: "Amish Paradise", "The Big Post Office In The Sky", "Jehovah Witness Sleeping Area." These would be part of speciality continuums.

Being trained to operate effectively without a body on earth could take a long time. The end result, however, would be a viable superbeing and son of God that can effectively improve conditions here.

Does this appeal to you? Maybe you'd just like to go to a quiet rest(nursing?)home in paradise or bum around a high-tech Disneyland.

Barron Blog Milestone: 1000 Entries
Mood:  celebratory

Today marks the 1000th entry into the Barron Blog. Hopefully, this blog will continue for the rest of my life and beyond.(It's one of my afterlife hobbies.)

The blog covers just about everything that I'm aware of: My Life In Brampton, Ontario, Canada, 108 Movie Reviews, Unusual Top Ten Lists, New Age Religion, Good Jokes, Alien Encounters, and Spooky Places In This World And The Next.

I put my funny downloaded videos on my MySpace Blog at http://blog.myspace.com/qualteam. On the Barron Blog, they would take up too much webspace which I pay for at Tripod.

Embeded YouTube Videos, pictures and "Best Of The Web" websites are found at http://davebarron.blogspot.com/.

Last but not least is my orginal blog at Xanga which is now an archived website. There's only so much blogging material that one can use in a day, week and month. This one ended at http://www.xanga.com/home.asp?user=qualteam. Hope you like the rare oldies on this page.

Thanks for visiting. Leave a comment or send an e-mail at: qualteam@yahoo.com.

I Talked To My Mother Privately Today

What I mean by the above is that I travelled from Newmarket to Barrie Union Cementery to talk to my mother's spirit.

The gravesite was handsomely dressed with three flower arrangements from the funeral. Fresh sod was also laid over my father's grave but not my mother's yet.

The conversation on my part was short and emotional. This was the first time in a long while that I was alone with my mother.

As the door closes on an old life, another one opens on a new one. 

My relationship continues with her on a spiritual plane.

We Said Goodbye To Mom Today

I was pleased that two friends at work showed up for the funeral. They were Tony Vitullo and Donna Giglic. The rest of my fellow workers at TEO,  gave me a sympathy card and $100. This is helpful because I've been travelling between Brampton and Newmarket every day for the last week and a half.

It was also good to see the last two sisters/aunts left in the Peever Clan: Shirley Darragh(76)from Ottawa and Olive Buckley(86)from Toronto.

Friends and family of Roy Judges' (30 year companion of Doreen Barron) came out in large numbers because they knew and liked  my mother for many years.

My wife's brother(Rev. Joseph Noseworthy)prepared and executed the service in a thoughtful and moving way.

I did the eulogy from the heart which was received by my brothers and others. However, it was too long and not as funny as I wanted it, but I saw some tears on some people's faces.

Fortunately, we have hundreds of photographs through the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and the 21st century to remember my mother, my father, the Barron and the Peever families forever. We plan to transfer many of these pictures to a DVD.

This is all part of our history in Canada and on planet Earth during the 20th and 21st century. It's worthwhile remembering for all concerned.

Visitation And Funeral Times For Doreen Barron

The visitation will be tomorrow from 7-9 P.M. at the Taylor Funeral Home on 524 Davis Drive, Newmarket. The funeral is the next day on Tuesday, Nov/14/06. in the same place.

The Taylor Funeral Home is on the south side of Davis Drive, just before you get to Main street. Davis Drive is also Highway 9 which goes east off of Highway 400.

My mother suffered greatly from "rhumatiod arthritis" during the last five years of her life. I'm happy that she's now free from this disease and other infirmities. However, we'll miss her deeply because my wife and I visited her every two weeks and she treated Irene like a daughter.

Thanks you for your condolences and kind thoughts.

My Mother, Doreen Barron, Has Passed Away
Mood:  sad

With the family gathered around, my mother passed away at 12:00 P.M at South Lake hospital in Newmarket. She was 82.

She was a feisty soul who spoke her mind on just about any issue. However, she was generous and fair to her children in either reprimanding or rewarding us.

After my father's death, she had to rely on her initative to find work and pay the bills. She did this by working as a "Nurse's Aid" in Newmarket. The job was heavy and demanding, but she did it anyway.(My mother was less than five feet tall and slightly built.)

If she was cranky with one of us, she would say she's sorry. I must add that my mother suffered pain from Arthritis and Parkinson's Disease, that sometimes influenced her bahavior. However, she always tried to be sociable and make us a good dinner. Her apple pies were something to die for.

Doreen will be remembered as a loving mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, to sons, David and wife, Irene, Robert and wife, Donna, Ted and wife, Daphne, daughter, Linda and seven grandchildren, Julie, Chris, Laura, Jenny, Michael, James and Greg.

My mother has gone to join my father(Eddy Barron) who died in 1968. He was a veteran of the Second World War. Please remember those who fought for their country. Tomorrow is Remembrance Day.

Healing Energy

Man isn't just a collection of cells. The basic nature of man is spiritual. We are individual "life units" in a physical bodies. This life unit is capable of emitting either white(positive) or dark(negative)energy.

The white energy can be directed at any body part with the thought "I feel alive". Often, this will produce a warm feeling or a tingle sensation. Some healing may occur.

In a similar vein, negative energy can be taken out of a victum's body as grief.

Different holistic practices approach spiritual healing in different ways. One uses the technique that works for him. Energy fields are not the same from one human to another.

We are either putting positive or negative energy in ourselves or others. On a physical level, this could manifest itself as wellness or sickness.
