I had a scare this morning

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 18h

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...

What!?!?!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • 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...

...to be this early in the day. I've been up for hours and it's only 10am. Did you have a good sleep? Or are you as messed up about time as I am? Heck, I keep thinking it's yesterday (Saturday) because I didn't do my usual...

They just couldn't wait any longer

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 2 Nov

This morning, Nov. 2 at 7:10am, I heard my first Christmas commercial... and it was repeated about 20 minutes later... and this is on a radio station that plays only 4 minutes of commercial an hour. Went to Dollarama tonight and...

I got 6

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 1 Nov

Six what? Six trick or treaters last night... Mario and Spiderman, Wednesday Adams, and three young teens not sure what they were. There doesn't seem to be very many kids in my area, even though the elementary school isn't too far...

Well, this is interesting

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 29 Oct

There seems to be a psychedelic light show going on in front of my right eye. It's like a kaleidascope but only white, no colors. And now that I've told you about it, it seems to be slowing down and fading. I think I'll go lie...

I picked a pocket full of beans

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 26 Oct

The green string beans are still producing. I picked 23 of 'em but only 2 yellow wax beans. Guess I'm gonna have beans for dinner today. And some pasta. Maybe I'll dump a can of tomato soup on everything and pretend it's a gourmet...

Midnight rambler

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 25 Oct

I couldn't sleep last night (restless legs) so I got up and made a pot of soup using the last of my beans, and tomatoes (still have some to use up) and a potato and some carrots from my garden. By the time I finished putting it...

A beautiful sunrise this morning

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 23 Oct

As I was putting out the recycling this morningI looked up to the end of the street and saw the most beautiful sunrise... all rosy pinks and purples, stratus clouds at the bottom and fluffy cumulus higher up. That's where the...

Happy Thanksgiving to the Canadians here

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 14 Oct

Yes, it's a day that doesn't mean too much anymore to a lot of people who don't have family around them. When my mother was alive, my sibs and inlaws would get together for turkey, usually on the Sunday instead of the designated...

We all know a certain site is Fooked Badly

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 13 Oct

But every so often I try to repost something that has already been posted, and I get yelled at by their artificial intentions* and they won't let me post it. I'm getting tired of this. I'm going to try to share a screenshot of it...

What's that noise?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9 Oct

About 10 pm last nigjt, I heard a strange noise. Well not so strange, I thought it was a big ol' jetliner doing a flypast. But it kept going. So I went over to the heat vent, and sure enough, the furnace had kicked on. First time...

Talk about climate change

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 8 Oct

I was waiting for it to get a bit warmer today before going out and doing more yard work... It went up from 14°C to 16°C (still not warm enough for my liking) and the sun was shining on the area in which I wanted to work. So about...

Learned something today

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 8 Oct

Apparently, the position of your arm when having your blood pressure taken can give different readings. The study tested three positions: arm resting on the table, arm resting in one's lap, and arm dangling down (which gave the...

Have you heard of this?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 7 Oct

The 'poop rule' to decluttering? Basically, you ask yourself "If this had poop on it, would I wash it or throw it away?" I guess it depends on what it is and how many dirty diapers you've washed in your life and how OCD you are.

First thing I saw this morning

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 6 Oct

As I woke up this morning (sleeping on my side) I saw... a face in profile. It was my pink sheet scrunched up in such a way as it looked like someone with a big nose and fat lip. Even a bit of the cover was peeking up in the area...

Where is it?!?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 24 Sep

You know you have one, or even a pack of 'em, but can you find it (them) when you want? Not on your life. But you keep looking where you've looked before until after half an hour you've reconciled yourself to having to go out and...

Useless

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47254) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9 Sep

It rained today... Boy! Did it rain! Thunder and lightning and sheets of rain, so dark I lit a candle. The rain was hitting the shed roof so hard that it (the rain) bounced back up two feet. And then, just after four, someone...
