Gill told me about this, and on a surface level, I laugh, but I can’t imagine why I personally would ever want to go into one of these places. In Australia, there is a chain of restaurants called Karens Diner. Here is a brief description about them. We hate good service. rated 1* by us. …

It’s the Vaccine Hokey Pokey.
About a week and a half ago, I got my fourth COVID shot. Since we got actual COVID back in June, I figured I was probably about due. Man, is it ever hard to get a straight answer on when you should get your next shot if you’ve had COVID. Wait 6 months, but don’t …
Playing The Shame Game
Gill sent this yesterday, but I ran out of time to post it so I’m posting it now. We had a conversation about this, and I told her to try not to beat herself up so much because as kids, we all do things that seem like a good idea at the time, but aren’t …
Sleep Talkin’ 4. Soon, Like Me, This Bit May Snore
I think it’s time to immortalize the last few months of sleep chatter because this may be the last sleep chatter we can catch! I’m going to write a whole post about this, but on Monday, I will finally be getting my CPAP machine. This will mean two things: better sleep, which might result in …

Never Again Will You Lose Your Poppy…Ever.
I had to chuckle at this video. I have to admit that this year, my poppy has stayed on. Admittedly I haven’t been out as much, but still. It has managed to fall off in the closet before! Maybe our ghost hates poppies too? Or maybe he’s a soldier and he wants to make sure …

Tansy Says Hi After Retirement
So, Tansy has had a busy four months since she retired and moved into her new home. She has had more time romping with dogs and people than she usually gets, which makes me happy. She became good doggy friends with the beagle at her new home who she had played with at the dog …

A few days ago, somebody posted a link to this mystery record from Mad Magazine. I guess it had eight different endings, and depending on how the needle hit the record, a different one would play. Apparently, some of them were really hard to trigger. Actually they posted this version where the beginning played again …
Poor Jerry Osiris
I don’t often write about books, but I want to write about this one. Back in early August, I was ready to start a new book, so I looked through my library, and found this one called How High We Go in the Dark. I had bought it a while ago, and couldn’t remember what …
By The Time I Get A Kleenex…
After I went home for Thanksgiving and saw some of my nephews, I got thinking about stuff I used to think as a kid. Then the song “By the Time I get to Phoenix” floated through my head. One radio DJ called it “By the time I get a kleenex.” When I first heard that …
Kitchener Municipal Voting Info
So the municipal election is coming up soon. I’m a big loser and am writing this post now, as opposed to earlier so it could be more helpful. But I guess today is still an advance voting day, so if you like to vote in advance…run! You can either vote today, or on Election day, …
