This TV commercial keeps coming on, and is yet another example of an ad that doesn’t say what it’s for. But it’s a campaign ad, and for some reason, that bugs me even more. The viewer can sort of discern that it’s NDP because of the talking points, but how do they know for sure? …

Smoky Mountain Brain
We were listening to music out on the balcony the other night, and some songs came on that made me think of stuff I used to think when I was a kid, and it made me laugh. The first one was Smoky Mountain Rain I hadn’t heard that song in so long that hearing it …
The Special Thing About Special Ballots
I thought I would write one more thing down about the election. It was going to be in this other elections post, but as a question. Now I have the answer, so I thought I would post it in case others were wondering too. I was talking to a friend who had to vote early …
Necessary Voting In Unnecessary Elections
So we’re voting again. I’m not looking forward to dealing with this right now, but I don’t really have a choice so off we go. I thought I’d post what answers I could find about the process, and ask a few questions of my own. First of all, if you’re wondering if your vaccine status …

Did You Say We Needed Honey?
Once again, Steve sent me a story about bees that made me squirm. It appears a guy went grocery shopping, but when he came back to his car, the back seat was full of bees, and I do mean full. There were 15000 bees in the car who had just started to swarm. What amazes …
1-800-Got Nightmares
There’s this commercial that comes on for 1-800-Got Junk that says something about “Call 1-800-Got Junk. We’ll be there before you hang up the phone.” If I could link to it, I would, but it’s not anywhere I can find. Every time I see it, I can’t help but think of the bit called “No …
PLEEEEEEASE GET VACCINATED!
I apologize in advance if this post doesn’t make a whole heap of sense. Every time I think about writing it, if my brain were a car, it would be spinning its wheels on ice trying to take all my thoughts and turn them into something simple to understand. I want what I write down …
You Can’t Spell MedicAlert Without ATM
I got a letter the other day that mildly annoyed me, but I guess it’s a sign of the times. It seems MedicAlert is discontinuing their life membership program and moving to a subscription fee system that you either pay per month, per year or every 3 years. I guess maybe this whole life membership …
Make Me A Bleepity Bleep Bleeping Gift Basket Right The Bleep Now!
The other day, I called Dana Shortt Gourmet to ask them something and I got their voicemail. It started off like a normal voicemail, and then my jaw dropped open when it said something like “Please note that aggressive behaviour towards our staff in person or on the phone will not be tolerated.” That sentence …

Hey! It’s Maybe Sort of Kind of Not Quite Normal!
It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these how are we doing posts, so here we go. I intended to write a woohoo I’m two weeks past my second COVID vaccination post, but that weekend, I was trying to prepare for a presentation and didn’t have the time to do it. So now …
