For those of us who are legally blind, a voice text can be a simple way to communicate & without being concerned as to what the context of our words are or having to decipher what an emoji is trying to depict. There are programs to read text out loud but sometimes you just need to speak.

It was rather tasty! Made another one for lunch today! May try adding some crispy crumbled bacon along with the green onion between the cheese layers next time...

Kicked up grilled cheese! Spread thin layer tomato sauce on ww bread then sliced herb&garlic cheese, chopped green onion & sliced Havarti before putting top slice with tomato sauce on. Buttered outer sides before grilling. Thought of @korinamossauthor.bsky.social & #LindaReilly #cheese #Fridaylunch

Much to be thankful for. A full pantry, ability to cook/bake and live independently. Wonderful family and friends. Thankful to live in Canada with healthcare, freedom of speech and diversity. #HappyThanksgiving #CanadianThanksgiving #Thankful

To check freshness of your spices, open container & you should be able to tell what the spice is by the scent. If you can't tell, rub a bit between your fingers. If still no scent discard and buy new. Also only add spices in last 20-30 mins for full flavour in cooking. In baking add as per recipe.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Trump wants Canada as the 51st state.
Carney’s answer was already clear: Never. Never. Never. Never.

Canada has no interest in joining the MAGA dumpster fire β€” especially when one of Trump’s first targets would be CBC, just like he went after NPR & PBS.

Poilievre claims Christians 'may be the number 1' victims of hate-based violence | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Monday that Christians and their places of worship are being targeted and, if elected, he will crack down on religion-based hate.

Inflammatory and inaccurate garbage served up in an effort to terrify the congregation and rile them up into a frothy rage. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

CLEARLY Poilievre & the cons do not understand, let alone care what the Indigenous people of Canada have been through & are still going through. We need to continue to educate ourselves, show compassion & help our fellow human beings heal & succeed in redeeming their languages & traditions.

Canadians aren’t anti-American. We’re anti-Trumpism.

Tariffs, annexation threats & attacks on diversity poisoned the β€œspecial relationship.” The U.S. Ambassador may be disappointed, but he shouldn’t be surprised: we’ll defend our sovereignty

CBC tells our story.

The U.S. Ambassador says it’s β€œhard to find Canadians passionate about the U.S.”
We’re passionate about Canada. free speech, diversity & our own culture. Not being Trump’s 51st state.
CBC is ours. Conservatives want it gone because it won’t bow to Trumpism.

Why do all dictators target comedians? Because comedians can take a serious issue & distill it into a couple of simple sentences with a funny punchline. Comedians can puncture the dictator’s armour with satire. Humour is subversive. I support Colbert & Kimmel.

Wed was a day trip to Gimli on the shores of Lake Winnipeg about an hour north of Winnipeg Manitoba. Warm weather, light breeze, fab gal pals, great food and conversations. Walk on the beach & visit a polar bear sculpture that had been painted with aurora and indigenous theme. Perfection!

Happy #internationalchocolateday! As an unrepentant #chocoholic, I don’t really need an excuse to make one of my fave chocolate treats but then again why not take advantage of the day? So, I made a double chocolate brownie/cake with a chocolate ganache & roasted almonds. Yummy deliciousness ahead!

β€˜Booty’ and β€˜butt’ are synonyms.

β€˜Call’ and β€˜dial’ are synonyms.

But, a β€˜booty call’ and a β€˜butt dial’ are VERY different things.

dnsyl57's review of Whiskey Business 5/5: Adrian Andover has skillfully crafted his debut novel called "Whiskey Business" for a wonderful start of the "Mixology Lounge Mystery" series. I first heard of this author and book a few months ...

WOW! That is crazy! Perhaps, you could write a story about a writer and how they took revenge for such an outrageous request?

PP is clearly transphobic and has zero respect for the Charter Of Human Rights. Pathetic excuse for a leader and a party that "claims" to value human rights and free speech.
