Fascinating- thank you.

For all of them.

I’m thinking of Caroline Kennedy today, who lost her father, mother and then her brother. She is an example of dignity and grace for us all.

Analysis of the language used in Trump’s Ukraine “peace plan” shows it was drafted in Russian and translated into English.

I’ll try to dig up a link.

I agree 💯

Essential life skills. When my son was washing an apple with soap, his friend asked him why. My son said, someone might have had a 💩not washed their hands and touched the apple (yes, that’s verbatim from his mama).

His friend said he’s going to wash fruit with soap, too.

😃

Exactly! We should all do this all the time.

Actually, I’m going to change my statement, thanks to my mother: we were raised to wash hands, surfaces, thoroughly cook food etc because my mother was a parasitologist. We traveled around the world in some rough places at times and never got sick.

My children do all of this as well.

My pleasure. It’s another thing we need to protect ourselves against.

Food safety considerations Transmission of avian influenza to people from the consumption of eggs or poultry is unlikely. As a general practice, food safety measures should always be practiced when handling poultry and egg products such as: • Always wash hands before cooking or eating. • Wash hands before and after handling uncooked poultry and egg products for at least 20 seconds with warm, soapy water • Keep uncooked poultry and egg products separate from other food products to prevent cross-contamination • Clean and sanitize all surfaces and utensils with hot, soapy water and a household sanitizer (e.g., bleach and water solution) • Cook poultry pieces to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) and whole poultry to 82°C (180°F); use a probe thermometer to confirm cooking temperatures.

Staying safe when eating is doable because the virus is killed by the right amount of heat.

I’ll repeat my recommendation: get a food thermometer and use it.

No runny eggs either.

Wash your hands. Clean surfaces.

Omg! Yes!!

I don’t care what RFK says today, tomorrow or any other day.

Facts are facts.

He’s not familiar with the word and can’t spell it.

Teachers fight off grizzly bear attacking schoolchildren A grizzly bear attacked a group of elementary schoolchildren and their teachers on a walking trail Thursday in British Columbia, injuring 11 people,

Grizzly attack on 11 kids & teachers in BC.

“one teacher jumped in front of the bear to allow the children to get away…he jabbed the bear’s eyes with his fingers and that’s how he was able to… how the bear just left him.”

“That teacher was later airlifted from the scene.”

Teachers are heroes.

Ignore ‘underlying condition’:

“mortality was 458 (52%) of …H5N1 cases reported in Europe since 2002.”

Ahahahaha 🤣 Elizabeth May explaining the tanker ban “especially to the attention of slow learners; Andrew Sheer, Danielle Smith, take note.”

Rick! I’ve missed you and your non sequiturs!

I have better things to do than follow his moods.

I don’t care.

So we’re doing a cult of personality?

Am I the only one who doesn’t care who he didn’t like yesterday, likes today or dislikes tomorrow?

There’s real news. This ain’t it.

Leaders of Canada’s Newest Convoy Worry Police Are Trying to Sabotage a Nationwide Protest Avenging a Flock of Dead Ostriches Convoy organizers say they are at ‘war’ with the federal government, but insist they will remain ‘peaceful’

In case you’re wondering:

The key people behind tomorrow’s planned nationwide Ostrich Convoy include an aging Burning Man attendee who drives a psychedelic school bus called the “Church of Bubbles” and a Dutch-born Gen Z social media marketer who imports maple syrup to Utrecht, Netherlands

Convoy leaders, including Kerr, say they plan to stage events targeting regional offices for Canada's food inspection agency, though none can point to any specific rules or regulations they want the CFIA to change. "I don't know much about the regulations and those side of things," Schep said, adding that the ostrich convoy is simply about raising "awareness" of the plight of farmers in Canada. "They specifically want the politicians to listen to them and make sure they're heard."

This is a garble of nonsense: target food inspection, but don’t know which rule or policy, just raising awareness?

Are we at ‘they’re eating the cats and dogs’ yet?

I wish I craved Swedish.

That’s accurate.

I have American friends who are wonderful- generalizations are not helpful. Canadians do have every right to distrust the present administration and those who support them.

Alan, could you share that recipe? I’ve made it many times and it always sucks.

Popularity Trump -10 Canada +49

I agree there have been rough patches.However, that’s not the whole picture- my son went to MIT on a generous scholarship as have many Canadians - they have been welcomed and treated with respect. That’s not ‘abuse’.

As for the U.S. not caring about us - don’t mistake Trump for the entirety of 🇺🇸
