Hmmmm - just a few days ago I was reading how Costco online sales are a fraction of other large retailers.  Now today I’m reading a story which talks all about bargain hunting for luxury goods online at Costco.  Wow coincidence.

The problem in this story is the Aperol. Campari and prosecco will take you to the land of glamourous early 1960's Italian movies stars on the beach in Eleuthera.

42 mud turtles and a soft shell? Sadness - I know all our turtles here in ontario are endangered. Why the fuck are these folks stealing them? Eating - gross? Pets? - not a good idea says my child self who had many turtle related salmonella barf-fests.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, your virtual support means more than you can know.  I’ll try to check out your recommendations <3.

Cape Breton for hiking if you can’t make it as far as Newfoundland. In Cape Breton I learned on a physical level the meaning of the word breathtaking.

So, I have a history of anorexia and bulimia. After kicking them in the last few years binge eating has taken their place. I need to lose weight (for real I’m in the obese category omfg) but as soon as I start dieting all my old self-punishment and eating well under 1000 calories a day bs kicks in and all those old…

Let those among us who’ve not indulged in tender baby flesh caste the first stone. If we really reflect who is not somewhere, sometimes, a cannibal witch? I mean back in high school and college me, bart k and squee would eat just a leg here and there. Normal. I like chubby baby legs. My friends liked chubby baby legs.…

My standard gift is a beautiful book called “On the Day you Were Born” by Debra Frasier. Here is a review:

Me and my now husband, 9 month old and 2 year old were roadtripping across Canada. We were in a beautiful valley of British Columbia near Pemberton. It was sweltering hot. It was the kind of humidity where the air feels thick and moving is unpleasant but so is not moving. Wonderously next door to our campsite was an…

My super fun aunt brought takeout Swiss Chalet chicken for her and her children (and spoke loudly to everyone there about it) to our vegetarian wedding. They would die!? if they went a meal with no meat apparently. Also vegan is an attention seeking asshole since they went out of their way to accommodate her. We are…

If and when I need massage and physio that will also be free - this gives me a warm feeling of reassurance that helps me know I will heal, Financial ruin, purposeful administrative nightmares and the consequent stress would encourage me to not address health issues if I was in the states.

Curious - what would your appropriate plan of care be? If I feel like I need x-rays they are there. If I’m not improved in a few days I can go back. If anything more happens I can rest easy knowing it won’t impact my family financially.  Yesterday I was crying, crawling on the floor to the bathroom. Today I took my…

You can have universal health care and private employer insurance too! Canadian here - all my hospital and doctor visits along with tests are covered through OHIP. My employer insurance gives me extended benefits like a private room for hospital stays, drug coverage, travel insurance, massage, chiropractor, physio,…

Sent pamper diapers across the pond sounds and looks like #sponcon.

so glamourous

Seriously how do barackaobama and the legions of trolls that were posting all over the mueller article get out of the greys and a reader since 2008 does not?

Dog lover here. If your dog is barking more than 15 minutes straight and there is nothing wrong, they are experiencing anxiety. If you find out your dog is continually barking they are saying they need attention, exercise or their environment is distressing. I have a dog that barks when someone comes to the door or is…

Yes - Canadians do refer to going to University unless they are going to community college which we just call College.  To say “I’m going to College” either sounds American or of a lower level (although I personally understand the value of applied education since I work with both levels).  The only exceptions are a…

MMMmmmm - I’m currently eating your recipe. Delicious and indulgent way to start a Sunday where my family is away. Thank you.  Reading the comments about the lime fish - recipe. The lemon is really out front in this recipe. It’s the star and would clash with the lime. Some plain fish or even better, earthy green…
