I’m a few days late on this, but oh well. Wednesday was the two-year anniversary of when Tansy exuberantly entered my life. I can hardly believe it. Two years. I looked at what I was up to 2 years ago today. It looks like Tansy hadn’t worn her boots for me for the first time …

I Heard A Song On The…Radial?
I learned something last week, and apparently I’m not the only one who did. Someone was talking about those fields on a form where you have to choose one choice, for example are you male or female, and kept referring to them as radial buttons. I was 99.999999999999 percent sure they were supposed to be …
Herrrrrrrrrrrrrm…Bzzzzzzzzzzzz
I think we all know this experience. You pick up the phone, say hello, and a second later, you get blasted by the sound of a boat horn. Then a voice says you’ve won a cruise and all you have to do is do a survey…at which point, hopefully you hang up because you think …
Trix Pics
Woo! Trix pictures! Woo! I’ve had these pictures for months, and have meant to put them up. But the process of putting them up, for me at least, is a bit laborious, and as I’ve said repeatedly, laborious processes and the captain don’t mix too well. Then I headed back to work and got busy, …
Is Anita Clue Here? No?
This is the first thing I’ll be posting since the big blog overhaul…and I had to go and post something juvenile like This Toronto Board of Health guy getting pranked. But it made me laugh…and I can’t figure out what the last fake name is that he reads out. It’s something like I’m a moron, …
May Leonard Nimoy’s Memory Live Long
Soundtrack time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C70QRbawN8 I know the whole world knows this by now but I might as well join the chorus of those saying goodbye to Leonard Nimoy. He died on Friday, at age 83. I wasn’t the hugest of original Star Trek fans, even though it was awesomely forward-thinking for its time. But without that, …
Help Marianne’s Place Recover From A Flood
Wow, this is sad. Remember the women’s shelter I wrote about many moons ago? Well, thanks to a horribly-plugged toilet, they had a disastrous flood. So many of those every day food items and supplies that make the world continue to revolve in that place are destroyed. Walls, floors and ceilings need repair. And they …

I’m An Aunt!
I don’t know why I didn’t write about this last week when it happened, but better late than never. Last Friday, Friday the 13th, I became an aunt. Yup, my brother and his wife are now the proud parents of an adorable little boy. I don’t have his picture, although it’s up on Facebook, I …
From Dream Home To Nightmare
Steve said he got this from Michelle, but it looked like one I’d want to post. After getting rid of all the shivers, I agreed. This Kathy Rowe woman is like the worst combination of Philip Conran and Jennifer Petkov. It all started when a young couple outbid her on a home she really really …
Talk About A Behavioural Interview
Oops. Let’s hope this never happens to me. Guy is on the train in London. Someone’s in his way. He pushes and shoves him and tells him to go screw himself. He discovers he just swore at his interviewer. for whatever reason, he didn’t get the job. If that were me, and I figured out …
