The only thing that is clear today is that Tylenol didn't pay someone something on time. You cannot convince me otherwise.

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals. Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team. So proud.

Thanks all! I knew there had to be more I was forgetting! Our Costco steaks were excellent, but we have the list now for next time.

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

Drove all over HRM looking for good ribeyes for Kevin's bday dinner... ended up at costco. When did everyone else start cutting the caps off? That's the best part. Bailey's = Small. Sobeys = Smaller & thin. Gateway=too thin. Costco=too $$ but at least they'll be good. Do we have other ind. butchers?

#Halisky Do I have any friends who have an adult scooter I could borrow for a few days this week? Manual or electric.

I made homemade spagetti tonight. It was hard, but sooooo delish. I think I will try it again and hope it gets easier. I'm terrible with dough consistency.

First big fail of my new "canning" adventures... apple fruit leather. I burned the big pan, but the middle was good... now holding out that the little pan turned out.

Foraging and canning adventures continue to keep me entertaine -Chokecherry liquer -Spiced crabapples -Spiced crabapple jelly -Crabapple jelly -Honey Crabapple jelly -Apple crisp -OOOOOOODLES of mom's tomato soup -Lady Ashburnham pickles - Dehydrated apple chips Winter is coming.

This was 10 days ago and my right hand still has not fully recovered from all the picking. My pointer finger specifically, is still sore and inflamed. Yes, I am that old. But the jam is good!

This weekend's adventures in foraging... a few more chokecherries to make liquer, crabapples for jelly, and a ton of dock for grinding into flour. Oh and I made 7 jars of Lady Ashburnham Pickles last weekend. Next up, more apples, pickled beets, and my mom's tomato soup.

Canning meetup in October? We have Chokecherry jam, salsa and tomato sauce already!

4 hours work...today's chokecherry haul (the bag is full too). Now on to jelly making!

My Punterest feed has gotten a bit strange... -Dill pickle lemonade -dill pickle cookies -dill pickle bread (altho this actually sounds good)

Me, today:

Today me is cursing last week me for ordering chicken stew from Hello Fresh. Delicious but 🥵🥵🥵

I'd rather have a water bomber than a police tank.

Show me your getaway vehicle.

Ok. Now that the fire seems to be less worrisome... What is the best dairy-free butter alternative? I gave up cheese...butter is next. I have never bought margerine! Lol

Bayers lake is now closed to all traffic

On FB it said this was a "working brush fire". Are you fucking kidding me?

Borrowed my sister's bread maker to see if I wanted to buy one again (gave mine up years ago)... and I found a recipe for light, fluffy bread I actually like! So...I think I'll be buying one. I always hated the dense bread they made. We didn't have allrecipes.com back then LOL

HE top-load washer friends... my laundry isn't getting super clean. Spots are dry. Soap streaks. Pet hair. Spots that smell unclean. What am I doing wrong? I tried pods and laundry sheets. I feel like it's lack of water.

I'm making homemade veggie broth for the first time and it smells sooooo good!

I've been saying for years... the money is there to pay the staff what they're worth...we're just going about it wrong. Increasing wages for permanent staff would improve retention and morale and cost less than contracting out in the long run, wouldn't it?

If anyone is in Bedford Saturday morning and wants to support a very small vendor market, my daughter Elizabeth (the one with seizures, etc), will be selling her stickers. It's from 10a-12p at the Basketball court on Rockmanor Drive, off Rocky Lake.

It's about damn time.

Today in things I learned from Hello Fresh: BBQ Chicken pizza on naan made ON the BBQ. So easy and delicious. Sometimes I feel stupid that I haven't learned some of the things it has taught me lol

Watching Happy Gilmore the first in preparation for the new one this weekend. It's stupid, but actually funny?

Drop something yellow from your gallery.

Daughter and I picked a basket of bright red choke cherries today for jam...only to read you're supposed to wait till they turn black...oops. Well we know where there's tons more.

A deer walked out of the trees in our back yard while we were on the deck this afternoon and I felt my father's presence telling me he's watching. He loved deer. He would have found a carrot for it.

We bought frozen breaded haddock fillets from Gateway a couple weeks ago and I swear they are the best ones I've ever had.

I am LOVING these pins I bought from ThePinbox.ca (NOT an ad). It’s a 🇨🇦Canadian micro-business run by a young woman who came to Ottawa two years ago as a refugee from 🇺🇦Ukraine. thepinbox.ca

Want to let the Premier, your MLA, and Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing know what you think about "strong mayor" powers? Ecology action center has a nice tool for that and a template email to get you started. ecologyaction.ca/NoMoreBS-ns-...

I need cycling...stuff...to share on Facebook. It seems to be the network where I see the most opposition in my circles. Are there pages/people sharing things there I can repost?

Watching 1923 and this Indian Residential School shit is just inhuman. I don't know how anyone could treat children like this.

Ended up at Home Depot talking to @briangeorgehfx.bsky.social and ordered one. Hope I can survive a week without clean laundry. I might wear some strange outfits!

My washer just died and the part is no longer available. Who has recently bought a washer they love?

I missed it, but did catch how Maritime Connection's phone in is going to be about bike lanes on Sunday at 4 pm.

Fact of the day: We’re currently debating a new bike-share program in Victoria. City staff noted that “serious cycling accidents and fatalities are down 37% since 2017,” when we began building out our AAA bike lane network. We now have 45 km of protected lanes. Cycling infrastructure = safety.

They are DELICIOUS and I cannot stop eating them!

Laura campaigned on data-backed decision making. She has done a considerable amount of consultation on the Morris St. bike lane project. Her latest post is worth a read, and is a wonderful contrast to the “vibes-based” decision making of some others on council: laurawhite.ca/morris-stree...

Reminiscing about the days when @timbousquet.bsky.social used to live tweet City Council. @landofsticks.bsky.social is filling that void for me. @suzannerent.bsky.social is great too, I just really like Matt's humour lol

Today I spent 6+ hours taking Mental Health First Aid ..so tonight I am self-caring with strawberry shortcake and a face mask. Why do these things look sobscary? Lol

The first thing he's said that I can agree with.

Measles confirmed in New Glasgow

Can I come over and look at you like this? 👀
