Life time of living in BC has given me an appreciation for the absurd in politics and real life. Play bridge quite badly. Used to write. Love train travel. Happily married 40 years to man who does not play bridge and hates trains. I don't donate.

I have an 1877 Cassells Family Magazine book. There's an article from a doc begging people to get smallpox vaccinations. There have been anti vaxxers as long as there have been vaxxes.

The ADF is not pals with her if you look at body language in photo of them when they came to Canada

Spent weekend with Albertans who are further right than me. They are very upset UPC messed with disabled adult son's AISH allowance. Also not PP fans. Or referendum fans. Politicians can't be too sure of who's ox they're goring.

There was a post here about a 5 million dollar house for sale in Kelowna that was owned by one of the ostrich people. I don't know how to find it.

Thank you. I pick it for a caribou maternity pen They capture Caribou and keep them safe until calves are old enough to hopefully survive predation. The caribou are weaned from lichen to camel chow.

@phyrexianhannah.com can you answer my question?

SusanDe @susande.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I have a weird question about lichen. I collect it for a caribou maternity pen. When I'm picking it, I get very calm. Does it have mood shifting properties? No one I've asked knows the answer. Apparently eucalyptus has some strange effects, so I guess it's possible ?

Mine is a Fujitsu made in China or Thailand. Not having manufacturing capability in Canada goes back a long time. You can only play with cards you're dealt, until new processes come on line.

I love my heat pump. It's efficient, quiet, and works both to heat and cool. If you're eligible, apply. If not, and you're ready to change systems, get one.

Thanks. I wouldn't have been surprised if he had said it. I looked up my local BC Con candidate and he seems to be not a crazy person. I wonder what else will come out on other candidates?

Do you mean dually (as in trucks ) or duly (as in noted) or dully (as in not shiny?) English is weird.

Buckley's works because your whole body says : I'd rather get well than swallow another spoonful of that stuff. It's kind of placebo effect if a placebo was a dragon.

On other side: Mayor and Council have to communicate with staff. "We promised to get an EV" (keeping with car theme) "But that's a lot of changeover. We'll just wait you out until next election. We think of you as lobbyists" No."

"You cannot have a Ferrari because town can't afford it unless you raise taxes and you said you wouldn't. Also, upkeep is a bitch." Or "Sure! What are you going to give up in exchange for the Ferrari to keep to budget?"

My 2 bits as a former village council member. Muni CAO and staff rotate the tires, change the oil, make sure vehicle of local govt is ticking along. Mayor and council decide which car to buy. Problems arise when CAO and council do not communicate.

This answer is like a saying from when I was a teen. How many ducks does it take to shingle a shithouse roof? It doesn't make any sense but for whatever reason, it was hilarious.

Alberta! We are being taken for a swan song if these people win. And a win is a loss at the polls that show support is close. They will just keep coming. We need a resounding majority on this referendum. We have been warned. prairiesexposed.substack.com/p/the-man-wh...

There have been a couple of stories of lawyers dipping into trust accounts lately. 40 years ago a friend's brother was worried he was going to get disbarred because bank took money from trust to cover an overdraft in a personal acct. There needs to be more oversight, I guess.
