Cuisine, travel, nature, diy, sci-fi, fantasy, and theme parties. My garden is more square footage than my house, and that's bonkers.

Switched to wood pellets a few years ago. Kicked myself really hard I didn't do it sooner.
Waaaay cheaper, better odour control, less effort, more environmentally responsible.
I buy the big hardwood stove pellet bags at the hardware store for $7-9.
When i had 3 cats - a bag lasted about 6 weeks

That was painful to read. I expected a few spelling errors, but, holy smokes!
Might take a gummy later and tackle that draw-by-numbers pic. Looks trippy.

A Canadian company, Von Slicks, did just that. They won gold at the World Dairy expo for most Innovative product last year for their finishing butters.

The Medical Council of Canada reported a 750% increase in US physicians initiating the Canadian licensure process over the past 7 months compared to the same period last year. Specifically, 615 U.S. doctors created accounts on the Council's application portal.

Nah, found him on Fb. Exactly what you'd expect. Misogynistic, incel, PP fan that posts mostly heavy metal, gaming, Carney bashing and should he leave Que and go to Alta, or try to move to the States because Canada is apparently destroyed.

The very idea that Cdn shopping and tourism money is helping fund this, is sickening. How many zip ties have we helped buy for something as selfish as we didn't want to miss that Comicon? Or Disney trip? Or festival?
Need to improve those "tourist numbers are down" stats.

I second this. A friend was originally given 12-14 mons, changed to "anywhere" and was sent to Brandon in less than 2, thanks to a last min cancelation. (4 hrs notice)

Reach out to a culinary school and see if a soon-to-be grad would be up for it?
Mad skills at more modest price plus the possible bonus of helping a struggling student.

News from the south becomes more shockingly horrific by the day. Equally horrific is the thought that monies Cdns spend on US items and travel are, in fact, HELPING FUND THIS.
Did my dollar buy those zip ties?
Time to become even more vigilant 🍁
Won't be perfect, but it's something.

Those would be handy for cutting zip ties too, I would think...
Put one in every back pocket.

My Lemon Boy tomatoes went nuts this year...I'm calling this "Golden Boy" salsa!

A daunting task on a low energy day. This is the second mass picking. Not a lot of shelf space left in the cold room. Lol
Good thing I was gifted more large jars!
Still another smaller tom harvest to come. I left about 9 huge green peppers and a handful of habeneros on the vines
