    Also ordered a hoodie through the wish app from China. Should be here Tuesday, so 3 weeks from China wasn't too bad.

    @Lynn49 the wish app is found on the google play store and maybe also the app store for i phone not sure. Prices are pretty good but especially with clothes you have to be careful of sizes because most is in Asian sizes. This hoodie was $12 plus $4.00 shipping. Sellers sell their stuff on the wish app and most are from China. Only took 3 week which isn't bad because the seller used ems delivery which switches to expedited parcel once it reaches Canada. A lot of Chinese sellers take 2 months to get their package because they use the cheapest delivery option which is usually free shipping. Canada customs gets bombarded with these small packets each day and China post pays very little to Canada post for these and Canada post actually lose money on all these free shipping items being sent from China.

    I've never had a problem with aliexpress, their shipping communication is great, they've extended the shipping times so that I wouldn't have to worry about things not arriving....and LOVE the free shipping!! hahaha!! Overpriced CanadaPost can just get over themselves!! It's ridiculous how gouged we are in Canada, even compared to the US!

    @Lynn49 only problem with the us postal service. It is in debt in the billions of dollars but keeps things running fairly fast and affordable but at the expense of constantly losing money each year. Canada Post has a lot of ground to cover coast to coast and is actually making a profit because things aren't run too badly. One reason it takes so long for parcels from other countries is that due to certain international postal agreements Canada Post often gets the shaft and handling mail from certain countries is actually costing them money. So they're actually not in such a rush to process mail from these countries. They are definitely more expensive than us postal service but that's because the us postal service doesn't care if they run a multi billion dollar deficit.

    See this article here that says that just last year the us postal service had a lose of 5.6 billion dollars. Canada Post might be more expensive but that's how they avoid being in crazy debt.

    Good morning!!

    What a dreary looking day out there, but we're promised a sunny 22 later. Nothing much going on, mani-pedi, and I'm going to try to get to my hairstylist....my hair is just too long, I think.....maybe an inch or two off the bottom, shaping. Right now I can't reach far enough to get a roller to the ends....and yes, Ladies, I still use 'em..lol.
    @cabmonk , thanks for the info. I still can't help but feel CP is too dang top-heavy among other things, and that there's a lot of room for improvement. Toss everyone on top out and start over.

    Anyhoodles, you all have a wonderful day!

    Good morning folks! Came to bed with my back hurting. That hasn't been an issue for a long time. Then woke up at 6 and it was really hurting so took a "Muscle and Back Ache" pill that always puts me to sleep. Now at 11-still a problem. I was going to go get my hair done today but the thoughts of sitting in a chair for a few hours just didn't appeal. I have to be careful not to jeopardize my trip to Whitby on Thursday.

    So, I will take it easy today. Waiting for a call back from the orthopedic surgeon about my heel pain.

    My stepson is coming to visit for his grandma's 90th birthday in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to give him a BIG HUG!

    Well, I need to eat so.... wishing everyone a delicious day!!!

    Take care to smell the ..... whatever is growing around you!

    Got a lot of phoning and appointments made today. Advil has been keeping the pain at bay - I forgot an appointment I have tonight at a friend's home to hear about "essential oils." Thought I might stay home but maybe there is something there that will help my back.
    @Lynn49 - Methinks that your intentions towards my step-son are less than "admirable" but hugs are always good.

    Got to run!
    BFN!
