Thank you for clarifying, but Earthbound Farms is a US company. Right under that Canadian "logo," it says "imported." These things are sometimes misleading. Further down, it says Salinas, California. It is very confusing for all of us trying to decipher labeling to be able to buy Canadian.

Where is the Canadian alternative....am I missing something?

I am a 5'1" woman with, according to their (doctor) measurements, have 36% muscle mass. Late 50s. The Dr asked me to reduce my muscle mass so that my BMI would fall 1 point to WNL. My clothing size is single digit. 🤯. BMI parameters don't work for everyone. Needs to go!

The problem is everywhere you go. People's homes, the grocery stores, busses, subways...everywhere...the heat is blasting. I almost never wear a winter coat anymore. Never ever in a shop. Short sleeves only in winter.

I find that a bit strange. If there's work to be done, you do it! He will often load the dishwasher or bring clothes off the line on his way by, but he hardly ever takes down time...maybe one day to rest after he's traveled and gotten home at 3 am..goes to trim that branch. It is different here.

I know a few. Where I live, there are very traditional households. They think I am crazy. One person asked the other day, as she drove into my yard, "Who does your snow removal while he is away?" I looked at her questioningly and said, "I got on the tractor and did it myself." "Really?"she asked. 🤣

He works hard. Away on assignment a lot. If he needs that time to decompress and go find a branch to trim, he gets that time. We don't live a typical lifestyle. I do all the heavy stuff (or manly stuff as soome would call it) when he's away. He does it when he's home. The rest..1/2

The list of things I have to do keeps me from napping during the day. I had a five hour nap last night. I don't call that sleeping. It was enough to get me through today. The day isn't done yet.

I make a plan for the week, and my husband eats what I put in front of him. I like to cook so I do the majority of the cooking... except for breakfast. We fend for ourselves. He will sometimes tell me what he would like to include, like fish, Mexican, Indian, or Japanese, but for the most part, no.

In the article, it states that they all went to Service Canada. I guess they'll all have to stand in line to pick them up.

A Canada Post employee, with whom I am friends, says this article is misleading. During the strike, they have every right to lay off all TEMP employees. That could amount to the 'hundreds' mentioned in the article.

I moved the icon off of my homescreen and replaced that spot with the Bluesky one because I would open X out of reflex.

What changed EVERYTHING for me and prompted me to try to understand ~30 years ago was family members who came out as gay, and now, in the youngest generation, transistioning. These are people I love. Love and acceptance is everything for EVERYBODY. It is non-negotiable.

It is one of the reasons I've mostly left Twitter. It is exhausting, blocking them all. I just want to enjoy some posts of people's pets, gardens, odd joke, recipes, hobbies, and their latest cool purchases.

I have one of those, too. Makes a good feeding spot for grizzlies if they haven't entered torpor yet around here.
This is when I take the opportunity to clean out and rearrange my indoor freezer (after the bears go to sleep).

Here, too. I gotta go out in that! Work needs to be done.

It is certainly a way to inadvertently reduce emissions when driving becomes too expensive.

And pay more tax...assuming the worker is claiming their tips, and if they aren't, it is tax evasion. The gov't is charging the consumer for the service the worker provided. Then, the worker also pays tax on their tips. They may end up with less of the tip after tax.
comment in response to
post
Absolutely, but the suggested tip amounts are calculated post tax. If we tip with the tax included, then the service person pays income tax again on that portion. It isn't fair to the consumer nor the worker.
comment in response to
post
Why would anyone pay a tip on the tax? Historically, a tip was calculated on the pre-tax portion because you were tipping your server. Do you remember the saying, "Never tip on the tax?"

Yes, and collects mostly around chair legs and stairs! 🤣🤣

BTW, I wouldn't change having to clean up dog hair and paw prints for the world. The joy and love a dog brings is much more important than the dog hair that takes but a few minutes to clean up everyday.

He gets brushed outside daily. My sister-in-law has 3 Goldens. She says, "When you find a vacuum that works, let me know and I'll buy 3!" I don't have a lot of dog hair around but what I do have, I would like it to be able to be vacuumed up. I don't have carpets either. Frustrating!

My dog has the same one. It is invaluable!

I was never into them. I loved my high-rise jeans. They seemed to be more flattering on my high waisted body. Low-waisted jeans always felt like they were falling down. LOL

Love 90s style. I was such a rocker chic back then (still am) LOL. It's still the best style.

I love them too, but I am so short. They make me look funny...well, funnier.

They have had private carriers doing rural routes and have for a long time. My designated post office is 65 km away, and there is no home delivery. I support them and Canada Post workers. They are an important service.

I was just at the optometrist. I wore a mask. I am on immunosuppressants. He walked in and looked at my chart and said, "Oh, you're on immunosuppressants, and I have to be super close to you." Walked out and came back masked up. He should be doing that for everyone, but I did thank him.

Ahh! I know people who have notifications come through for Facebook, Twitter, and other SM apps. Would make me crazy. No one has time for that!

I have ALL notifications off on my phone except for text and phone. I don't like notifications all day long.
