Hankering for Yarn

Buzz about the Olympics on the Lifestyles channel of b5 media

by Noreen on August 8th, 2008

The lifestyles channel has been buzzing about the Olympics…. (weren’t the Opening ceremonies gorgeous?

But, the motto: ‘One world, one way’, gives me the creeps.  Um… what about diversity, or celebrations of the broad spectrum of the human experience? Being Canadian means I am steeped in a culture that values multi-culturalism and tolerance.

‘One World, One Way’ just sounds too Orwellian to me…. smacks a little of totalitarianism, doesn’t it?)

Anyhow…. like I said before, there’s lots of chat about the Olympics on  b5 media -

Here’s what some of my fellow Lifestyles bloggers have been up to:

Michelle at “Dating Dames,” takes a look at getting married on 08:08:08

Tracey at “Foodie Obsessed,” wonders  How safe is the food in China?

Elizabeth at “Gen Between,”wrote about  Gary Hall Jr’s Olympic performance despite having diabetes

Christine at “Our One Heart,” writes about couples getting married on 8:08:08
