I just assumed all the replies were from people I had blocked/were blocking me. This makes more sense. How frustrating.

Coal, famous for its only byproduct, CO2, when burned. Nothing else- just CO2, which plants love. So really, it's green energy.

Fellow Canadians- there are several Canadian companies directly profiting off the building and operation of concentration camps, transportation of ICE victims and equipping of their kidnappers.
Contact your local, provincial and federal representatives and ask what they plan to do.

There are multiple Canadian companies profiting off concentration camp construction and operation. Asking your MP directly what their thoughts are on this, using the strongest possible descriptions, & how they will address could be helpful.

a scene from schitt 's creek shows a man and woman talking to each other Alt: The scene from Schitt's Creek where David and Moira are making enchiladas and David is asking Moira "What does 'Fold in the cheese' mean?" David is wearing a white and black striped fuzzy sweater and a pale blue and pink floral apron and has an impatient look on his face- and Moira is wearing an all black outfit with fashionable glasses and is reading off a recipe card.

So many different ways! I don't really know if I could have explained how I even did things myself. And if I tried to break it down, I'd probably no longer be able to do it.

Derby is SO fun. My wish for you to find some work arounds! Is this for a mandatory skills test/benchmarks? I do know some folk who never managed to "open up" and the process of finding other ways meant they had more moves in their footwork toolbox in the long run.

Apologies for the gratuitous advice. I coached and played derby for years and forget that's not my role now in my decrepitude. If you're skating for pleasure, looser trucks are great. If you've got a local skate shop they may have some pointers about just how much to loosen for your size and build.

INBOX: here are the judge's scores from today's Olympics Ice Dance Rhythm Dance event, which saw Chock and Bates narrow edged out by the French (evil) duo of Fournier Beaudry and Cizeron.

Can you tell which one of the nine judges is France's own Jezabel Dabouis?

I thought the same til I found myself skating very fast on a slight incline (WHEEE!) and those loose trucks started to wobble uncontrollably and I ate pavement. Sadly quad strength and hip flexibility>loose trucks.

You'll get there for sure!

The anthology "I Like This Poem"- editor Kaye Webb. It can still be purchased from a few online retailers and I've seen copies in second hand bookstores. Honestly the best children's poetry collection I've come across. I can still recite "Cats Sleep Anywhere" and "Lone Dog" 45 years later.

That's terrible and absolutely shame on them. Thank you for sharing that. I, too, withdraw any admiration for them.

Sports being rife with SA and bullying and leadership being reluctant to do anything about it is criminal. Ruining some people's lives to protect the "stars" and coaches.

A fun one to watch! When the team can engage with the crowd like that it just makes it so great to watch.

The French team- I noticed the woman had some injuries and her knee was bleeding through her bandages towards the end of the routine. Was there a tumble during practice?
