llainiec.bsky.social @llainiec.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Good question. My guess is (hopefully) there has been such fluidity in provincial politics lately. We rival the UK in the changing of the guard the last several years. He was premier from 02/21/2025-12/11/2025 then he wasn't now he is since Feb. Maybe not fair to include him. 100

llainiec.bsky.social @llainiec.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Horrifying what he said. But he actually smiled/laughed as he was saying it. What that man did was horrific and perhaps the symbolism of execution is justified but you are talking about ending a human life. Finding it amusing makes Hegseth no better.

llainiec.bsky.social @llainiec.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Looking for Canadian made Hallowe'en treats. Only get a dozen or so kids at most so $1-2/serving is okay. Must meet the balance of what I am willing to eat and what I WILL eat. Cheesies are good. Extra potato chips will be thrown out. Chocolate bars may not last to see the holiday. 1/2 100
llainiec.bsky.social @llainiec.bsky.social · 01/10/2026By private labels, do you mean house brands like Sobey compliments and presidents choice? I ,may be wrong but I look at the packaging. if the private label shampoo or salad dressing looks very similar to a national brand I assume it is made by that company. 100
llainiec.bsky.social @llainiec.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Maternity nurse here. If the parents have chosen a name, we like to put it on the crib card. I ALWAYS ask how to spell because even with "common names" people get creative. "Qmary" because we like "Q" names, but we want to name her after her grandmother. And there is always Jon. 110
llainiec.bsky.social @llainiec.bsky.social · 28/09/2026OMG! I just tried this. Said I beat Beyonce on top ten list of coolest people. I guess that makes up for "Sorry! I don't understand" as a response for half the stuff I ask. 010

llainiec.bsky.social @llainiec.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Maybe it's sacrilege but once mine is about half cool I put some water in it. Maybe scrape a bit to loosen the gunk. Might even bring it to a boil. Then let it cool completely and wipe out with a paper towel. No worries. 020
