You know what they say, if you don’t laugh then you’ll cry and I hate to cry . But seriously, I’m so fortunate when I think about what others are going through so I am SO THANKFUL for what I do have. TGIF

Thanks. The joys of getting older especially when you have an injury from 20 years ago . Oh well, it could always be worse so gotta stay positive

encouragement and kind words really need to be made into tablet form! lol

never ever thought I would need percocet! But I do and sadly the long wait for the " repairs " of my knees is a reality I'm not understanding. I though Canada's health care system was the envy of many other Countries. Oh well, I must adapt and carry on like everyone else living with pain. Thanks so much for your kind words.

honestly! I am beyond grateful for the healing.

This is a late reply. Sorry. Ski gloves. I have noticed a pattern with Costco. Oshawa North has the clearance first. They may move items to Oshawa south next. Oshawa south then has discounts. And if you miss it, Ajax has the clearance next.

Thankfully it’s warmed up and it’s starting to melt. Mind you that can make it a bit sloppy but oh well .
If you watched the news or googled Vancouver in the snow you would see that NOBODY can function (AKA drive) in the snow! Now if it rains we’re speed demons but a snowflake comes and we’re all in the ditch

you said it! I went to Loblaws JUST for the $4.99 butter and the parking lot was packed. Just the walk to and from the store was enough to convince me to drive right back home!
Glad that today is an ALL NHL day on the tv. DH and I are in heaven!

I admit I love a good snow storm… as long as I we can stay home

Thank you for all of your generous comments, messages and likes for all the years we've be on the Smart Canucks forum together! Wishing you many excellent opportunities, happy coincidences and new treasures and like-minded friends for 2024! Also, plenty of health boosts and laughter because sometimes there is lemonade amongst the lemons life presents to us...

Happy New Year and hope you are staying well and nice and warm. It looks like we have a big storm headed this way tomorrow.

I agree. I’m just thankful it wasn’t my front windshield or a bullet! You can never be too sure nowadays.

ha ha ! The Chinese NY is kind of cool this year because it's the Year of The Dragon ( and DH, being a Dragon is strutting around as if it's HIS year! ) .

gosh! yes...it is almost time for me to once again sip some wine and watch Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen makes fools of themselves in Times Square. A very Happy New Year to you and yours as well Skippy!

That’s sometimes all we can do. One day at a time , one hour at a time. Please take care

lol!!! Oh Skippy, my face turned every shade of red at Metro today, and I'm usually SO organized. ha ha ha

I'm trying to be present on the board each week but it's hard. I miss all the chats and news on SC!
Wishing you wonder, health and most excellent surprises to close out this year!

oh darn it all Skippy. Your pain...I sure do feel for you. (((hugs))) Glad Frankie's latest pic cheered you up!

Not a creep at all. Hope you are doing well too

yep! That goat IS the actual goat that came up to her door on Halloween! Can ya imagine? Her hubby does all the handing out of candy while she sits basically sulking all night ( did I mention she hates this holiday ? ) BUT when MR. Goat returned this year her DH called her over and she said she ran into the street pushing kids aside to greet it! Now obviously no kids were harmed, she's joking about that.
She of course does not own the goat, I believe the owner lives a town over or something? Owner does this for the joy of seeing kids seeing her goat!

she sent a photo to me of it at her front door and I actually felt my eyes turning green! Baby goats are better BUT still this is a real show stopper for Halloween.....and so weird as Lynn cannot wait till that spooky holiday is gone! Wonder when WE will see the white flakes? So far it's just been the chilliest temps.

I was showing off....ha ha

weirdly, as the Top-T crown slipped off my head I got a little teared up. lol. A race I'd won unaware I'd entered....ha ha

wtf?? I had NO IDEA!! ty for letting me know so I could puff up my chest with pride! ha ha I have forgotten how one becomes Top-T.
I believe it has something to do with posting helpful things for members, like coupons or savings. Hey maybe it's for posting sarcastic remarks!
Enjoy your day!!

Thank you for the rep Wishing you a wonderful start to your week

lol...It does feel odd not having a gang of relatives over for the bird holiday but I just went with my mood this year....as in " not in the ". As far a cooking that Butterball football frozen thing for us 3, by golly
they cook all by themselves FROM frozen in 4 hours. Today I found some Delicata squash! ( they are so good ) That's as close as it will be for having some traditional healthy veg on the table.
Have a terrific Thanksgiving Skippy!

Did you notice that I had double posted on a different thread? This was ME posting the same thing a second time, I cannot even blame the sc glitch for this. We all have moments eh?
The date says summer is officially gone now, but our gazebo covering and roof panels being taken down and stored away will be the next thing to really mark the end of summer.
Enjoy the weekend too!

That saying " from womb to tomb " is how my sister described both my job and DH's . Union jobs, you know a form of security? These days young workers will probably have 2-3 different careers in their lifetime. No one wants to offer FT to any employees, they toss them contract work, PT hours and pay no benefits. How can people plan their futures with that? Frankie looks the same, maybe that's why no new photos? ha ha

Thank you. We always look forward to our time off together . Looks like the smoke is easing so it will be even better

My pleasure. Now, go splurge on a couple litres of socks.
