    @lizzie bargain you will NOT regret partaking in the lasagna making with your friend and her DH on homemade pasta sheet duty. I've used my pasta maker a few times and the one thing that always stands out is how little time it takes to cook and it's always so incredibly tender! Have fun!!

    It sounds like Torontonians are in a big rush. My sister texted me that my BIL was hit by a bike courier Sat while out walking-he got a nasty gash on his elbow and the courier did not even stop. Then to make matters worse he was hit by another vehicle while driving yesterday-now he is in the hospital with a broken arm and leg-neither was his fault. He is not allowed to weight bear on his right leg and his right arm cannot manage a cane, crutch or walker so this could get interesting.
    My sister, a family physician, just retired last month and says so far retirement sucks as her grandson was also in hospital for a couple of weeks. I bet she never thought she would spend so much time at the hospital in retirement. I think her husband must have a target on his back-once he gets home he best stay put.

    This is everywhere! (but then again the city people (Toronto) are in Cottage country all summer long) but yes we are noticing the traffic and terrible drivers in a rush etc!
    Wishing your BIL a speedy recovery!

    Uh oh, I am a City people but true confessions I do not drive like a maniac. lol. I'm so sorry about both your BIL and their GS being in hospital. Who could have imagined that after your sis had retired from her Dr. duties that she'd be back in the thick of things? I wish both victims as quick a recovery as possible.
    Lets hope that things do not come in threes!

    No support from familly,My father say to me it is my own fault to become diabetic,just as my mother was.....That I do nothing good in life and that I am a

    Hope your BIL has a speedy recovery @lizzie bargain .
    @cath007 I’m so sorry you have to deal with all of this I wish I had something to say that would make you feel better. Nobody should ever be treated or spoken to like that but especially from a parent! Nobody deserves that.

    I hope and pray that they find the medication you need for your blood pressure and you can manage your diabetes or reverse it (depending on which one you have).

    Housing is hard to find for a reasonable price everywhere and it’s even more difficult when you have furbabies. I really hope you find a better living arrangement

    @cath007 (((HUGS)))) I am so sorry that you are having a very hard time right now. Hoping you can get your health issues resolved. I am a parent and in my opinion no parent should talk or treat their children the way your father is right now to you. He maybe frustrated and don’t know how to help you. Hoping that your family comes around and give you the support you need.

    I am also hoping that for your mental health that you find housing . Stress is not good for any of us. Make sure to take care of you .

    Found a box of abandoned crackers (unopened), 3x pairs of new socks, bag of York peppermint patties, bag of M&M candy, and 12x pudding cups. Their best before dates were Jun 29, but I bet they're still okay. Walmart sells them at room temperature. They may have baked a few days in the sun. So, I might empty them together into a saucepan and bring them to a boil before eating.

    What is it with me and crackers? I just finished the previous box I found and here comes another.

    How hot is the month of July? Enough to cut own hair very short when the trimmer won't cut despite aligning blades, using oil and getting to device to work...at least it seemed to work today. Prior attempt inJune-the trimmer would not turn on.
    Relieved to be free of my heat dome. Noticed my lingering brunette strands came from nape of neck or back of head.
