The Astros did it!!! Bwahaha!! They not only shut out The Red Sox, ( 5-0 ) but Boston only got 2 hits in 9 innings.
I am especially happy for Dusty Baker!! ( yeah and my favoutite half pint...Jose Altuve! )
That outta shut up some of the critics who thought them banging on trash cans was their only way to win!!

Hi all!
Tablet is forever glitching and I can't get to the laptop so I avoid things requiring typing, such as on here, unfortunately...


Well, things are crappy anyway, so you have been saved from readinh my moaning and groaning. Things have not been good - nothing more serious, but too many days when multiple body parts/systems are troublesome simultaneously.

Thx to Ontario for starting to take in Sask's overflow ICU patients. We really had Ben doing well, then got terribly hit by an inordinate amount on non-vaccinated people clogging up on already very hurting health care system.
I shan't go on, don't want to start an anti-vaxxer debate... I have TikTok for that.

BTW, I have a serious TikTok addiction, and ambetter for it. I have not learned nor laughed so much in ages. And cried (for someone other than me!).

Take care, my sweet friends! Love to you all!

Enjoy your Saturday all

Good morning!

We have my BIL's internment today, then back to their family's home. We won't stay long, I'm not a small-talk person, it bores me. I think I see @GoJays nodding in agreement.

Ugh! Christa Freeland speaks as if were all in kindergarten! Annunciating EVERY word, talking to us imbiciles with that useless twit's smarmy smile standing behind her, priming her as the next PM. I couldn't handle listening to her!!
Sorry....no politics....but her voice!

So, @walkonby , you're over the moon for your Astros, now on to the world series. It's just too bad they're from Texas.
We watched a few more episides of Jonathan Creek on Britbox last night as diversion from a rather heavy day. It's a fun who-done-it mystery series with nothing gory and enough humour to keep it from being scary.

Hope you're all having a sunny day, too...enjoy.

Are you sure it is annunciate and not enunciate?

To be fair, I find nearly all the federal leaders to be poor public speakers; we got the government we deserve.

I am Albertan, but I am impressed by the BQ leader, Yves-François Blanchet. He unashamedly looks out for his province and nothing else. Had he run in Alberta, I would have voted for the man. The manner in which he handled that racist attack upon his provincial laws from the moderator during the debates showed such aplomb that I wonder if it was not a deliberate plant.

We don't usually point out spelling errors here.

Lol...yes, quite timely, it seems, @GoJays .
Grammatical errors are even worse than spelling errors, and don't you just want to slap people upside the head when you see their posts with: wanna, coz, dunno, etc?. They sound like petulant children!

Hope all's well in your corner of the world, my Friend.

Nothing on my agenda today except to ask Hubby to drive to Michael's for Alenes Tack it Over and Over glue; quite surprised they even carry it here! Lol! It's funny, but when I need something now my first thought is Amazon! We went to Costco yesterday after the internment and family gathering hoping to find the stack of white tissue paper, but nope, either not in yet, or they're not carrying it. So off to Amazon...yep, 100, 20x20 sheets, $13. I go through quite a lot at Christmas and throughout the year and I dont like the pitzy-sized ones usually in stores.

Ok! Enough of that...enjoy the day, everyone!!

Good morning all! The nip in the air is a bit too much to have both front and back windows open but I did it anyways because the oven was on auto clean...what a smell! Then once that was all done, I checked in on Frankie and he seemed to be huddled under his ladder....I thought oh no! he's cold, so I closed all the windows.

Had a funny exchange yesterday at the pet store. Was there to pick up more worms and also to ask about seeds. I brought in the bag of assorted ones we are using now and I asked one of the gals what she knew about them, specifically if there was a way to buy only the red and other coloured ones that Frankie seems to enjoy.

Hallelujah! She brings me to the aisle of Willy Wonka for birds! The she said what kind of bird is it and I freaking blanked!
I stammered saying he is wild, small, we rescued and hand raised him....but NOPE the type of bird he was would not fall off the end of my tongue.

No matter, I picked up a large bag of these vitamin fortified, nutritious treats ( think a box of Lucky Charms ...but ONLY charms! )
I'm paying now and right before I leave I remembered! I looked over at the gal across the way and yelled out " Chipping Sparrow! ", I am not sure by the weak smile if she even knew what I was referring to.
Some days the words just don't come till I can make a fool of myself. Anyone else do that?

Well, the good news is Frankie loved the dish of treats! That's all that mattered.

[walkonby]

I know a certain birdie who is thrilled about the Packers lead atm !! ( no, not Frankie.. @Lynn49 )

[Lynn49]

1st and 10 at Washington's 40, @walkonby !
2 weeks in a row without broadcasting my Pack's game!!!

As for searching for words, welcome to my world!
I'm just happy my family gives me time to find 'that' word without shooting words at me, lol!

24 to 10 Final!!
I wonder if we'll ever get to another Pack game.

[flemeth]

Good morning all

Hope you all had a great weekend. Lost of rain here so I guess it will be an indoors day for me.
