Canada Day is a holiday to celebrate living in Canada, and to celebrate the country in general. But, no one said you couldn't have a little fun and celebrate at the same time. So, if you know someone who's not too fond of celebrating Canada, or you just don't like them, follow these tips and have an awesome Canada Day! 1. Say "eh?" at the end of every sentence. Example: "I like your shirt, eh? Where did you get it, eh? Can I touch it, eh? No, I don think the fact that I want to touch your shirt is creepy, eh?" 2. Wear red and white, but also wear a flag as a cape, or something that has a Canada print on it. Then run around saying, "I am Super Canada Man/Woman! I have the ability to withstand cold temperatures, drink high quantities of alcohol, and devour beaver tails!" 3. Spell Canada as C-a-n-a-d-eh? You don't necessarily have to wait for someone to ask you how to spell it either. You can just run around spelling it whenever you l...

Fathers are important to children. They make you feel happy when you're sad. They drive you places. They give you money, and they hold a gun to any guy you bring home so you'll never be married until they die. That is, if they don't haunt you from the dead. But that's okay, because they love you and you love them. So lets look at how you can pay them back. Hint: take this post with a grain of salt. A large grain of salt. 1.

In fact, why not get them up at three am! 2. Make them a breakfast of champions. Eggs, bacon, and toast? No! That stuff is filled with heart clogging goodness. You want your dad to be around for a long time. Make them an egg white omelet with nothing else, three leaves of spinach for a salad (no fatty-fat dressing), and a protein shake made with lots of green leafy ve...

Mother's day is an important day to honor your mother, but not everyone can afford a big fancy present. That's where this list of cheap Mother's Day Gifts comes in handy. Cheap Mother's Day Gifts are not at all bad in my opinion, and the ones listed in this post are focused on being thoughtful and nice, rather than flashy and expensive. Get Her Flowers I know what your thinking, aren't these supposed to be cheap gifts? Flowers can be very expensive to buy, especially if you buy an arrangement rather than a bouquet  But, you don't have to buy flowers at the store, you can go searching in wild fields for wild flowers, or pick some from your garden and make your own bouquet. Similarly, you can also make them into an arrangement. Additionally, the flowers don't have to be "dead". You could make your mom a flower garden. Plants are available at most stores this time of year, and are not that expensive. Although, if you buy a lot they can get...
