I'm typically very supportive of bus cancellations if the weather looks at all iffy

But considering the snow isn't supposed to start until all the kiddos are home today I suspect it has more to do with a certain hockey game 😂

I just needed to put it down and sleep on it

I think icord is the answer, I just need to get my head around either attaching it or reinforcing it with wire 🤔

I got the basket done during the women's final (😫 that game deserved to end better than that)

I'm stuck on the straps and really frustrated right now

Take suggestions either knit or crotchety

Crochet hook and some random stash yarn

It's been awhile so my hands are out of shape so this makes take a few days

Or an hour 🤷‍♀️

For good measure, I also stopped at the actual flower shop and picked up this lovely dieffenbachia

I was hoping it was going to work with this pair of cyclomen as I seem to be SOL finding a 3rd right now, but I'm not feeling it

Oh well, it's very pretty!

No!

Bantam is a size
Crested is a feather variety
Free-range is a management practice
Leghorn is a breed

UGH 😫

My point was more CLs are absolute garbage,

But I will also take you up on that!

May I PM?

A close friend of mine, who is a phd uni department head in business studies, is going to give me a hand with my CL tomorrow for a dream job for me,

(I just really want to help people)

... she says she's crap cover letters too 😂😂😭

My friends. This can not be the way.

If you are starting a small business in Canada, especially in Ontario, I will absolutely give you all the advice and start you on your bookkeeping for free

Especially if you're Agri-Food based!

It's my jam.

Also, I will give you the information to make jam under food safety regulations...

I am looking for work

If your NPO need a remote Administrator, I've now got the paperwork to back up my exp

I am a lot more professional in my offline life (I swear slightly less)

My greatest joy in life is setting up small businesses for success, but I'm just not good at monetizing that myself

We understand that candidates may use generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) to review their application documents, but we ask you to craft your documents and open-text responses personally so we can get to know you better!

Should have heard my 16-year-old when he got home from school about it...

Apparently, he wasn't paying much attention to the teachers this afternoon

I'm doing my best to keep him from voting for Ford...

Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X! See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

Makes sense to me, houses are for living in, and old homes have a soul

Mine is well over 100 years old, and the hardwood floors are awesome to walk on, especially with my bad foot 😊

Okay, seriously who has written these past couple connections.

We need to have a chat.

Sorry I don't know the variety I've been experimenting with bulbs in small containers and so far so good! I'll split these up into seperate containers once the blooms are done and grow then out under light then outdoors for the rest of the season It took some doing to get a photo in a window with light where the backdrop wasn't all dog poo in the snow 🤣

A mug of spring

Ah! I thought the goal for the matching funds was 1.7M, which we hit

Must have been flagging a bit towards the end and missed that 😆

I'm so excited for all the smaller charities who are getting grants, it's life-changing money

Most of the counties around me have lifted their water restrictions, and the Rideau watershed was predicted to take years to replenish, but it's been declared back to normal 😊

It's been a pain but we've needed it!

So awesome!!

I love all the doubt that we were even going to make the matching fund at the start, and welp...
