@kazui do think your sister is right and that would explain the difference @Overhead Fredi will check next time I go but as with everything at Costco there can always be changes or discontinued items depending on the supplier. The beers I saw were cans and 60 to a box

Good morning all. I have power in my kitchen again! It seems the last time I blew a breaker the electrician moved everything from that breaker to another breaker but didn’t mark which one. The #6 breaker was blank and #12 was tripped. So I marked the panel and we should be good until the whole service can be replaced. Time wise we are looking at early in the new year because all the trades are so busy here. Windsor is growing by leaps and bounds. I am prepared to be an emotional support Canadian as needed. I did some calculations and based on raw numbers each Canadian needs to be able to handle 10 requests. Now knowing that not every American wants or needs someone we should be able to handle it. I am up to 5 people right now, maybe 6 so my spots are filling up rapidly (she says tongue firmly in cheek). prayers for those that need them and a shoutout to those celebrating. I won’t be toasting you later however because I overserved myself at the Wednesday ladies night and am taking it easy today! Have a good day everyone. public service announcement to my fellow ontarioans : your local Costco is now selling beer, wine and cocktail drinks like Caesar as of November 1. And the prices are good, a few dollars cheaper than the LCBO store.

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.- 110 replies

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!- 95 replies

We have been promised another mild winter, no comparison to Florida of course or the Caribbean but not the frozen tundra!- 95 replies

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.- 86 replies

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- 86 replies

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!

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.- 108 replies

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.- 108 replies

Good morning all. One more nice day here, sunshine and above seasonal temperatures. It will cool down tomorrow and rain called for on Friday. We have had one light frost but nothing on the horizon for the next 14 days. Strange weather but we are enjoying the sunshine. my Wednesday women’s group is meeting at my house tonight as my neighbour where we usually meet has a blocked sink and non functioning dishwasher. At least I won’t have to carry the meal anywhere tonight. I usually look like I am moving in when I walk next door as I usually do the cooking for the group. safe travels for those on the road, prayers for those that need them and a shoutout to those celebrating. We will lift a glass in your honour tonight as we gather in the sunshine on my driveway for pre dinner drinks! Have a great day everyone.

Prayers and hugs for you, Sandi. I am so glad your dh can be with you for your appointments. I was alone for my breast cancer surgery and my radiation treatments in early 2021 because of COVID protocols. It was lonely and scary. You will have support.- 90 replies

It really depends on why you carry a phone. My husband is using an iPhone 6. He only carries it on his bike rides in case of emergency. He can call, text, access the internet and take pictures if needed. Even the 6 is better than any camera we have had. I had an iPhone 12 gifted to me and appreciate the better picture quality. I wear an Apple Watch so have the emergency function on that. If your 8 is not giving you problems, don’t change until you have to- when there are no more updates.

This is the last set of recipes from me for now. What will be my reason for getting up early now? Ah you say, I didn’t make it early most days. So true. I hope to do better next time I fill in for Debbie. I won’t have company and won’t be trying to do several things at once. Only staying warm! Have a great Sunday everyone and welcome back, Debbie.
