I used to drive by a new housing development every day. One time it rained for almost 2 days on several partially framed houses. As soon as the sun came back the workers were framing the rest of the house and enclosing everything with all that rain water inside. It was a high end custom built development. 

Every Canadian road trip starts with a 40 pack of Timbits. Half are jelly filled and rest are coated with some kind of white crackling. The pleasure is eating a whole one and trying to identify the jelly flavour. A medium dark roast with cream is the beverage of choice.

That pizza portal is my friend. I hate interacting with people at the end of a day spent interacting with people. Give me my code and I’m on my way. 

Dominos, the quality varies and the pizza is always lukewarm. Papa Johns got my order wrong 3 times in a row and the salt content is ridiculous. Delivery costs can be as much as 30 percent or more of the pizza. Delivery fee, service charge, charge for using debit, and then the request to tip the driver who arrives 60…

I’m a 60 something woman who had their tubes tied years ago. If I went to Texas and pretended to search for an abortion I wonder how long in the process it would take them to arrest, jail and fine me. Would I be jailed just for thinking about abortion rights?

Lesson learned, buckwheat pillows don’t belong in the washer or dryer. Never listen to your sister. 

Those Barbarpapas used to make me very uncomfortable. How did they reproduce and defecate?

In other words, he’s an edible gummi.

This is a great read. I used to have a recipe column and at the same time I linked it to my FB. Finding, making, tweaking and producing weekly one column was a lot of work especially as I was working fulltime. It lasted for almost 10 years and then I had to decide if I wanted to put in the labour to take it to the…

Nah, it’s all Harry and Megan’s fault for leaving the family. Blaming Megan is the only thing that unites the Royals, hold her responsible for the downfall of the House of Windsor.

Our family boycotted Sears for over 2 decades until they went bankrupt. My sister was shopping with her 3 yr old, he made a run for the exit because he was a 3 yr old. Security accosted my sister as she was grabbing him and carrying back into the store and accused her of stealing because she ran out of the store buy…

I happened to have my TV on CNN and caught the whole thing from “must be a small plane” to the utter shock of the news anchors when the second plane hit. It was such a beautiful sunny day which made it seem so much worse. That night instead of choir practice our church stayed open for anyone who wanted to come around…

My local grocery sells 12 fried chicken pieces for $12. 2 wings, 3 drumsticks 3 thighs and 4 breasts. Or a container with 12 drumsticks. I buy the mixed package and depending on hunger levels have enough chicken for 3 or 4 meals.

I stocked up on my summer BBQ glasses and plates for under $20.  Several weeks ago they were putting out their Halloween candy and I picked up my treats, straight to the freezer for the season. 

I’m fairly well educated and I know exactly what I get when I shop at Dollarama, the Canadian dollar store. Everything is either $1, 2, 3 or 4 now. They have name brand kitchenware like Betty Crocker and it may not be as high quality as the bigger stores but when you’re teaching cooking classes, they are good enough…

Always be within arms length of your kid when they are in a pool. If any of those adults had been distracted for even a moment, the kid would be at the bottom of the pool. Kids and adults drown silently, they simply slip under water. The screaming and flailing of a drowning person is a myth.

or a nice Chianti

Why not pop the popcorn and then toss it with finely chopped up chocolate while it’s still hot?

That’s why they call it “The Aristocrats.”

It’s as bad as calling it “crack.”
