Poor Shmans is overdue for an update, so here goes. Believe it or not, Tansy is 10 years old. She turned 10 last month. Also, I just learned this year that she shares her birthday with Clint Eastwood! I find that kind of amusing, because I had a coworker who used to call the Shmans …

Hello, Humane Society? I Have A Dead Cat. Bye.
Back a while ago, I ran into a situation that really made me think. A neighbour of mine had a cat that suddenly passed away at home, and she wasn’t sure how she was going to take care of the body. To make things worse, she didn’t have a vet here, so she couldn’t call …

This Little Light Of Mine, I’m Gonna Know When It Shines
I just saw this video from someone who just came back from guide dog class at GDB. She’s showing off something new that they sell, called the Audio Beacon Safety Light. Its most important function is to light up at night so that you can be seen. But it has a very cool feature of …

Sleep Talkin’ Me, The Sequel
A while ago, I wrote about how much I talk in my sleep. Ever since, Steve has been writing down the things I’ve been saying in the comments. As you can see, my chatter has not slowed down. I thought I would take them out of the comments and put them up here so they …
Two Shots And Covid’s Goin’ Down
Yup! That’s me! Got my second shot today. The process was just as smooth this time as the last. The only thing I wanted to mention was when I called to book this appointment, the lady on the phone said she would cancel my July 25 appointment. Well…she didn’t, or she tried to cancel it …
Singing Together Alone
Whoever edited this together is magical, and whoever came up with the idea is also magical. Heck, everyone who participated in this is amazing. Someone I know from book club is part of a choir, and that choir was one of five that participated in this great big project where everyone sang a particular piece …
I wouldn’t Dream Of Being This Irresponsible! Or…Would I?
In some of my dreams, like the ones where I’m coming up with new tech ideas or predicting the future, I like to think I’m a genius. But in others, I think there’s a part of me that considers me to be the biggest moron on the planet. I know there are common dreams we …

The Amazon Harp?
I had another dream about something that I think could actually be invented. I’m not sure if I want it to be, but I woke up thinking that was not entirely far-fetched. In the dream, I said to Steve that I was expecting a package from Amazon. He asked me when and I said I …
The Poison Is The Misinformation
I’ve been seeing people saying there’s antifreeze in the COVID vaccines. The TL;DR version is there isn’t, but let me try to explain where they’re getting this from in case you’ve heard it or you hear someone talking about it. One of the ingredients in both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is something called Polyethylene …
I Want To See The Coffin, Coughin’ Be Damned!
I saw this story around Mother’s Day, and although restrictions are less severe than they were last month, I think it’s still worth talking about. There was a Leamington cemetery that decided to close its gates on Mother’s Day because of all the potential for crowds when people were being discouraged from gathering. Because of …
