When people tell you that getting fillings replaced "Shouldn't be too bad" slap those MF"s up the side of the head.
23 hours later, bruised cheek, can't open my jaw and ear is ringing.
The fillings were likely 40 years old, 2 molars beside each other and what felt like at the back of my head.

Come say hi. Bronx Park community center!

Now I can say I have in fact seen a squirrel drinking a juice box in a tree

Ready to roll at John Taylor collegiate! Come say hi!

When Vegas came into the NHL, I thought it was the Las Vegas Goldenites.

I laughed way too hard at this one.

Come visit us!

Went shopping today.
I saw things....

I thought for a moment it was ok...but as I started to make the 2nd one I realized I forgot the baking powder in the first.
Dammit!
It's ok - but not as fluffy so off to make the 3rd.
I'll keep the first, albeit a bit flat. (it's still good)

Making 1 of 2 carrot cakes for Thanksgiving. Panic has set in. Did I put in 2 cups of flour or 3? I think I put 3. I only needed 2. I hope I don't have a do-over pending......
Guess I'll find out in 20 minutes when I pull the first one out of the oven.
Damn.

My tired eyes saw strawberries and bananas.

Pre-making 100 meatballs for thanksgiving (mixing rolling, baking - you get the idea) after getting both my Covid & flu shots today (one in each arm) was not the best planned out schedule of events for the day.
Arms both hurt and have a headache. But those meatballs ain't gonna roll themselves...

I was today's year old when I realized the "pina" in pina colada meant pineapple.

When someone says to you "did you hear about the mass shooting in the States"...and the first thing you say back is "which one"?

Me right now. Enjoying the leaf free yard for the next few hours.....

Dug my first trench today.
Do not recommend.

September 1st is Ginger Cat Appreciation Day.
Here is Archie. He's kind of an ass, but adorable.

The cat distribution system is clearly in overdrive.
And OMG THEY ARE ALL GINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Psst...not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for being a rescuer.)

Posting without comment.

My cat Archie is all ready for the next Coldplay concert.

Well maybe if it was a Prius or something...

This was literally me 10 minutes ago.
I guess I'm old now.

I for one, am excited Portage & Main is opening to pedestrians. I mentioned this to my Mom today and she said:
"People should walk above ground while they can, because we'll all spend enough time underground when we're dead'.
Embrace the change peeps.

Grab another blankie! (I may have just done that, lol)

Well, the fact I bought my house in 1999 and haven't moved yet is probably a good sign!
Love it here. Great community, close to everything. Such good people around here.

My hood is having yard sales galore tomorrow! Starting at 8 to beat the rain. Come shop!

The happiest picture on the internet.

I'm eating Voortman Styrofoam cookies. (or whatever the hell those wafer things are made from). If you eat them too slow they stick to your lips and make things very uncomfortable.
Just thought I'd let you know....
