If you were into 80's and beyond Canadian rock, you know Sass Jordan. A performer whose distinctive voice and amazing tunes made her a star. She was also a judge on Canadian idol. She was still touring but sadly she passed away on Friday. May she RIP www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

I know there are MUCH larger issues in this world BUT, Firefox is at it again. They rolled out a new version (not just a new build) to everyone, even those who were set to NOT automatically update and changed a lot of settings in doing so. If you have @firefox.com , check your settings.

You have to be a certain age to remember this character but Peppino Mazzullo, the man who voiced Topo Gigio for decades has passed away at 100. I have such fond memories of watching him on the Ed Sullivan Show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlue...

Question. I'm on antibiotics (nothing major) but, like most of them, this one is causing wicked nausea. Anyone ever had that problem and taken something like Gravol without interactions? Don't care if it makes me drowsy. Won't go anywhere if I take it.

What an amazing lady! Reading opens so many doors to children and she's helping to make sure more kids in her area have access.

So Eastlink's had a #databreech & shut down My Account as a result. I know that was necessary but what a nuisance getting a bill & finding out my balance since I made changes in service within the past month, I strongly suggest #Eastlink customers switch to paper billing until this gets sorted out

Anyone know of someone who can come to our home & trim the claws of Jaspurr and Lucious? Had someone but she missed an appointment and then ghosted me when I told her the time she selected later that day didn't work for us. Taking them out to a groomer in carriers is too difficult for me.
