Julie McCarthy: Jewels Says

It's June!! Not for much longer though. Jewels reminisces about some of life's special milestones that she should have appreciated so much more than she did.

Jewels says it's probably OK to tell little ones the truth when they have questions as long as we keep the explanations at their level, but also acknowledges, as usual, that she could be wrong.

And if you have little loved ones in your life (don't we all?), she recommends writing good old fashioned letters and cards because young children like receiving mail and they'll know that you're thinking about them, even if they don't tell you.

Jewels says 2025 will bring a lot of changes, reflecting on the past, hopefully FINALLY feeling better and fewer disappointments.

Not likely, but one can at least dream, right?

Oh, and men are not the default human and women ARE funny.

And if you're sick for more than three days, SEE A DOCTOR.

Jewels says that magical holiday experiences are worth doing and she wishes she had given her own children more experiences like her children are giving her grandchildren. Little ones can sense anger and tension even if you try hiding it, but hey! you name me a family with no dysfunction and I'll name you a family you don't know very well. Get some therapy! Then again, who can afford therapy?

Jewels says that as much as the past week was great, she feels guilty for not cancelling plans to stay in London longer, for loving the occasional late night G&T and a sparkling gorgeous dress and shoes. Maybe she's just a bad woman.

Oh well. Grandfather Abe kind of made up for everything.

Happy Christmas week, no matter whether or how you celebrate. Even if that's just some relaxo time alone.

Jewels says she forgot to remind everyone that she'll be doing a set on Aidan O'Loughlin's Thirst Trap this Saturday at the Bloor Street West Comedy Bar. Plus some listener comments on incels and universal vasectomies.

Jewels says she'd really like to hire tradespeople to fix issues at home and the rental property, and SURELY other people manage to successfully do so... why oh why can't WE hire anyone competent? Are competence and communication asking too much? Shouldn't heating issues be treated as a priority in December?

Abe shares his most recent boiler debacles... one of which is still to be resolved.

Jewels says don’t tell someone you love their daughter because your actions tell the truth. Life is short and undeserved commitment is overrated, so we should encourage young people to walk away when they recognize red flags, and vasectomies for everyone would prevent a lot of grief.

Jewels says... oh where to even BEGIN? As usual, jewels has something to say about a few things, like traffic, shows, expectations, parties and beauty. Oh, and she would really prefer to keep Toronto's bike lanes that were only recently put in at taxpayers' expense.
