  1. So many dealing with so much. Holding you all in my heart. let me give you a little lighthearted entertainment. Late last week I blew a breaker. This one had my fridge on it as well as all but one plug in the kitchen. The fridge is now plugged in there with a heavy duty extension cord which we keep stumbling over even though it is taped to the floor. No coffeemaker, toaster has to move to the stove plug to be used, no light in the kitchen, dining room or half of the basement. Using a Melitta filter for my coffee! When we moved in in 1970 the house had a 60 amp service with glass fuses-remember those? We upgraded to 100 amps in 1972 so over 50 years with this box. Of course those breakers are impossible to find now. So I have just made appointments with two companies for quotes to update to 200 amp service. We can spread out some of the stuff bunched under each breaker and we will have them install a charging port because our next car will be a hybrid if not a full EV. The joys of an older house but too late to move now, my neighbours won’t let me and while I don’t have bodies buried in my back yard I do have the remains of my chimney buried there! take care everyone.
  2. Wow, just wow. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I love the colours
  3. One more week of election ads, can’t wait. Because 90% of our over the air tv stations come from Detroit we get all the ads. Unfortunately our provincial premier who has a majority has decided he might want an election sooner than June 2026 and our beleaguered prime minister Justin Trudeau, who does not have a majority might be forced into an election before year end by a vote of non confidence. The only saving grace is an election is held 45 days after it is called. lovely and warm here today but things will really change to fall tomorrow. We will enjoy it while we can and listen to Medicare enrolment ads instil dec 7!
  4. You are welcome to visit us in the Sun Parlour of Canada if the winter gets too cold and long for you! Won’t even cost you any extra health insurance as long as you don’t travel thru the USA. We have been promised another mild winter, no comparison to Florida of course or the Caribbean but not the frozen tundra!
  5. On the topic of snowmobiles, my sister and her family had several when they owned a farm and had lots of room to run and when we used to get snow here! My mother absolutely loved going out with one of her grandsons and she even had her own snowmobile suit. After she passed away my daughter kept it in her car in the winter in case she had a breakdown on the road as she drove 45 minutes to work each day thru open country.
  6. Good morning all. We had our flu and COVID shots yesterday. The only side effect was a horrible nights sleep. I was awake most of the night. I am not fit to drive today so dh will drive to meet my sister and close out our father’s estate account. We got our clearance certificate so Canada revenue is no longer interested in him. thinking of @StLouisCruisers and @bennybear and @kazu and as they deal with tough medical issues. Continuing prayers for them and others suffering and a shout out to those celebrating something. Safe travels to Lenda as they head for quartzite today. @cruising sisterglad nothing else is broken
  7. Thanks all for Britbox suggestions. The list should keep me going for the winter. I need to watch this on the treadmill not my recliner. At least my binging would have a positive outcome!
  8. I would love pbs passport but can’t access the videos in Canada for whatever arcane reason! Thanks for the recommends
  9. @marshhawkAnnie or anyone else with a Britbox subscription. Looking for recommendations now that I have finished my must haves. Have watched shetland vera Grace unforgotten death in paradise beyond paradise father brown what else have you watched and enjoyed? Thanks for any input.
  10. @StLouisCruisersprayers and hugs being sent your way. I, too, hope you can get some sleep tonight
  11. My DH rakes the leaves into a pile on the driveway and runs over them with the lawn mower. That really gives you lots of room in the bin. We send our chestnut leaves away because they are tough to compost at home. DH gets maple leaves from the neighbours and shreds them to put on the garlic over winter as well as mulch for other plants.
  12. Can’t speak for Saskatchewan or New Brunswick but in Ontario we can just put the leaves and garden stuff into the green bin. If we have more than our bin can hold we can put the excess into paper yard waste bags. Hopefully in 2025 our city will start collecting all kitchen waste, but that will have to go in a separate bin in compostable bags, unsorted, to be pick up weekly. Dry garbage will go to every other week pickup alternating with recyclables.
