When I was in university, I briefly worked as a telephone survey interviewer (it was soul-crushing). One of the surveys involved calling pregnant women or new mothers (can't remember which) to ask them about baby products. One woman I reached told me that she had had a miscarriage. I felt so bad and apologized…

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know Ollie meant a lot to you. I lost my oldest boy back in February and still miss him so much. He and his sister (who I posted about in another comment) were truly the loves of my life. They were with me through periods of anxiety and depression as well. The worst part of having pets is…

Thank you. She's been gone for more than six years, but I still think about her just about every day. 

I’m going to take this opportunity to share some pictures of my own Cinderblock-type kitty (who is no longer with us). She was such a funny girl. 

Good for you! I think it's something the store manager needs to know, but maybe it should come from the grandmother? 

A lot of women's pants don't even have side pockets. 

Similar story in Toronto...

I had a mama groundhog and two babies in my yard this spring. 

“without pandering" lol

I was waiting for the cat to knock the cake off the plate...

I’d never be able to do this. I need breakfast as soon as I get up, am constantly munching on something throughout the day, eat a smallish lunch and dinner, and occasionally have a bowl of cereal at night. Luckily I don't need to lose weight. 

Yikes, way to bury the lede, Joan! 

Could be. Trudeau’s judicial interference in the guise of saving jobs doesn’t convince enough of them to vote Liberal.

Guess I won't hold my breath, then :-) 

Yeah, I'm guessing that's how it will turn out. It's going to be a long night! I have a bottle of wine next to me. 

Hijacking Barf Bag to create a Canadian election thread (in case anyone sees this)! 

I used to think it was “bop, bop , bop, bop bop around."

That song was playing on the radio as a scrolled down to your comment! Spooky. 

So did mine! Don't know why they can't do that in all schools. 

Or make the existing ones unisex.
