just wanted to give a high five to everyone for doing so well..
you guys are amazing. keep up the great work.
only highlight of my life.

oh my word, I would say sue but it's not easy to do in Canada in the states well that's like eating breakfast :lolsign: poor chap, how discouraging for him and your mom. Sending prayers for your dad and for your family how very awful.
@MrsSunshine don't downplay all of your wonderful acheivements both professionally and personally, hun as they say this too will pass, hugs

@MrsSunshine I will continue to pray for your Dad and family.

Nineteen babies is still better than 69 babies. :-) I can't imagine how much sleep this poor woman didn't have.

What are you stocking up on this week re: sales/flyers/bargains, etc???

This week, only SDM made my go-to list. SDM:
Toilet paper for my brother's family: $3.99 - $1 off coupon x 4
International Delight: $1.50 - $1.50 coupon x 2
Olay body wash: $2 - $1 coupon - $1.25 CO51 (clearance, small bottle), 1250 BP personal offer
Airwick: $12.79 - full rebate
Spectro Jel: $9.99 - $3 coupon

RCSS (no tax day):
Ivory & Olay body wash PM Loblaws: $2.99 x 2 - $2.50 off coupon WUB2
Skinfix baby body wash: $3.94 x 3 - $3 off coupon
Nail clip & nail file: $4.19 + 2.19 - $5 off coupon WUB2
red delicious apples: $0.69/lb + 200 BP/$1 spent
gala apples: $0.99/lb + 200 BP/$1 spent

I couldn't make it out to Food Basics so I missed the green beans for $0.99/lb but got it for $1.29/lb instead. I also didn't find the eggs to PM with Fresh Co, but I did find the $1 off coupon. Hopefully, LO won't mind a stop on the way home from daycare. Even though there were some good savings, it was still a heavy shopping weekend. :( Sunday, I bought a large bag of shrimp, some pork tenderloin, two bottles of sesame oil, .... LO is still not eating much so we're tossing a lot of food too.

Well I finally blew up, she deleted all of her posts (lol) but sent me an email which I didn't even bother to read, I can only imagine what it said. I just was honest and said that a dog is atleast a 10 year commitment and that people like her shouldn't have animals. I will be expecting another email I am sure, I can only imagine the drama and threaths that will follow. I really wish I hadn't deleted the email but cannot retrieve after looking this up on facebook help :) but it just pisses me off when animals are mistreated.

Is there someone who could investigate a complaint like the SPCA?

:( I'm so sorry to hear. Prayers that he'll recover quickly and that the hospital staff are more mindful of all their patients. :(
