Joy

Loving people how they are is so important and they embodied that sentiment. My aunt and uncle were remembered today for all the reasons I loved them.

Everyone talked about my uncle’s quiet strength and presence, the importance of it to them. That’s the part of the service that got me because that was it, that’s who he was. When he spoke, it mattered.

Oh! She might like rug hooking! It has a fascinating history, coming out of functional need and its fiat heyday was thanks to the Arts and Crafts movement and was big again in the 70s

My stepdad was annoying me about something and in a terrible moment realized the man does the same thing and this is why they say you marry your father

The former MP who gave the eulogy told a story about how my uncle made enough of an impression on Chrétien that he was personally invited to an event and she wasn’t (the elected party member 💀)

My stepdad did the Red Green treatment on my sunglasses so I can wear them to and after the service, “it’s not pretty but it’s fixed” 💀

If everything and everyone could stop ageing and changing for a minute, that would be great

Thank you 🥰🥰

I actually do! I’ve been on medication for it for a couple of years. I stopped having chronic headaches once I started taking the meds

Exactly!!

Last week the optometrist said my eyeballs are bigger than they should be because of my bonkers prescription and might explode out the back and I have been thinking about this approximately 18x a day since then.

TIL my mom wanted to be archaeologist when she was little. She loves collecting rocks and arrowheads so it makes sense

My uncle was the one in my family who let me hang out with him when I was overwhelmed at family events as a kid. He was the first person I went to at my dads funeral. I’m not equipped for his service tomorrow.

People believe the weirdest shit

One time the weird shadow was a bat! Otherwise it’s usually cat puke

While all these cuts are horrifying, I want to be clear that, at the moment, these are PROPOSED cuts. There’s still time to your voice heard. Call or email your MLA. Call or email Tim Houston’s office. Call or email the Ministers related to the cuts you’re most angry about. See below for contacts.

My mom just very confidently said “x over the dollar”.

It was not the answer. We still don’t know how much the bat from this math problem he made up cost.

My mom: Can I get two balls for $.10 then?

Help my stepdad is trying to make me do math

The pig farm at the end of my mom’s road took the barns down. I feel like I’m in a Joni Mitchell song and almost cried over barns

Ok so I was right, Leikeli47 is top tier travelling music

Two different (young!) people saw me hooking on the plane and commented they loved it and thought it was cool 🥰

Honestly, pointing out where the smokers used to go in the food court at Devonshire to the kids delights me

The Essex baseball league took all the kids to a Tigers vs Jays game every year! We all handed out birth certificates to the coach but they never asked for it. A whole other world to now

I had no idea you went through that. I’m so sorry. Growing up is awful 💗

Our captain was a woman!!

What goes on in the minds of people who jump up the second the plane is stopped. Has it ever worked out for them? Like that dog that found a pie under a bush once

Omg my mom loved and respected Dr. Akpata so much, he was such an incredible doctor. I’m so sorry Jen, he was a treasure for the community, I cannot imagine loving him personally.

All I’m saying is that MacGyver was my personal hero when I was a kid and I wanted to be just like him. I could escape a submarine or win Let’s Make a Deal!

Oh I’m so sorry Jen. A former surgeon, I bet my mom knew him or of him. I can’t imagine the extra pressure of an international border crossing. Remember when crossing the bridge was no big deal

Pray for me, the child asked me to pack his cologne and hairspray in my checked bag and i forgot. When I told him, I immediately promised to buy him new
