Word of the year

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 5 Jan

Apparently, the word of the year for 2024 is 'brain rot', according to Oxford University Press. It is written as two words. I heard the radio guy mention it and I thought he said 'brat' and I wondered how that could be the word...

Holy Meandering Snow Squalls Batman!

Arctic air from the Prairies blowing across the Great Lakes brings dire warnings of accumulations up to 60 centimeters!! In case you still haven't managed to understand metric, a standard 750 ml bottle of wine stands 30 cm...

Goals

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 2 Jan

@Horse is always asking us if we made our payout goals. Last time he asked I said my goal was to hit $1 by the end of the year. Well, I didn't quite make it, but yesterday I was at $1.0055. Whoopee and yahoo! Now, if...

I really should've

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 29 Dec

Yup. I should have gone outside yesterday when it was sunny and quite warm (14°C). Instead, I just chained myself to the internet, and today it's pouring down rain. It's still warmish at 10:23 am (8°C/48°F) but it's supposed to...

December 21

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 21 Dec

Happy Solstice everyone! From now on, the days will be getting a tiny bit longer until the end of June, at which time they'll start to get shorter again. There was a big red sun going down today but I didn't get a photo. Instead,...

Oh my!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 18 Dec

I just looked out the window and it seems to be precipitating out there. Something between rain and snw. Doesn't seem to be accumulating anywhere, though. And I guess it won't, if it stays the current temperature...

Today

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 17 Dec

Today wasn't that bad, despite having a nasty headache all day. Today was the annual Christmas party at the Centre, and I went. Today, it didn't rain and was fairly mild for the season (5°C), though a bit windy. Today, Juanita...

It's driving me crazy

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 12 Dec

It's a festive earworm working it's way through my brain! I heard it yesterday in the supermarket and now I can't let it go. And I keep thinking "chimney" means something else......

What are the odds

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 12 Dec

I looked at the clock. It was 12:24. I looked at the calendar. It was 12/24. Seems to be a time loop. Do you have fun with numbers? (Hurry up and comment because this will probably get deleted. Alice is such a Grinch sometimes.

Yahoo's done it again

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 11 Dec

Remember Yahoo groups? It was popular and I liked it and used it every day but Yahoo decided to get rid of it. Wah. And didn't they have a way of building your own (free) web page? Gone. Well, they still had "MyYahoo" where I...

I've lost a leg!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 6 Dec

In talking to @celticeagle earlier this afternoon, I realised that I hadn't put out my mother's ceramic Christmas tree. So I did that. And in doing so, I knocked off a wooden shelf-sitter cat. I had done this before and the leg...

According to the swagbucks poll for today, it's Travel Tuesday but according to various other sites, it's Giving Tuesday, and they want my money, even the ones I've already donated to. Are you also being inundated...

Something or other

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 27 Nov

The sun is shining today but it's only 5°C/41°F. I did go outside and had a walk around my yard, but I didn't stay too long. I suppose if I was bundled up in a furry blanket, I could stand to sit under my new patio cover and read,...

A fence and a roof

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 26 Nov

My left-side neighbor got a work friend who has a constructing side hussle to replace the fence and deck. The fence had blown over a couple years ago but we managed to prop it back in place and it was good enough for a couple...

Who? I don't know but someone must have been wondering why I haven't been on the 'Lot lately... Juanita picked me up Wednesday morning and enslaved me until this morning (Saturday). She's had a run of rats trying to take over her...

I had a scare this morning

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 14 Nov

When I flipped open my laptop, nothing happened: the screen was black I thought, "Oh no, not again!" I really don't want to have to buy a new one. So I pushed buttons and flipped toggles and nothing. Then I...

Got up at 7 to pee, then just stood there in the washroom with that little loading symbol spinning in my brain, and spinning, and spinning, so I went back to bed to reboot... It's 4°C/40°F and mostly cloudy, though the sun is...

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47867) • St. Catharines, Ontario 6 Nov

How did we wake up to our worst nightmare? I don't believe it. Someone please tell me it's April Fool's Day. "It would be catastrophic. Trump’s tariffs policies would disrupt the Canadian economy, his immigration policies would...
