I know many of you aren’t Canadian, or even Canada adjacent. So I thought I’d share this peek into the personalities and stereotypes that make up the second largest country in the world. Thankfully, I recently found this video that explains it all, if not perfectly, but it’s Canada and we’re fine with second place.

Very unique ways to cut hair
So I am in need of a bang/fringe trim. It’s well overdue and when this happens, I immediately start looking at hair cutting videos on YouTube. Tonight I found this one and thought that you might enjoy it too.
Watch “Scewo BRO – Power wheelchair. The new generation.” on YouTube
Holy heckballs, this wheelchair has thought of everything! From reaching a top shelf to climbing and decending stairs this chair literally does it all. From the minds of engineering students in Switzerland, this chair is incredible! Unfortunately, it’s also incredibly high priced at 40,000 US dollars. If you can afford one, I literally can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t buy one, unless, like me, you live in Canada, because it’s not available here YET.
First time for everything
August 24th will mark exactly 7 years since the massive stroke that very nearly took my life. While in hospital, not a day went by without a nurse or two complimenting my skin. For more than 6 months I never had a bedsore .And 7 bloody years later,drumroll please…
Sleeping in a diaper doesn’t help. But it’s drying out and causing me no pain. A few days ago it was itchy and the skin was opened. I have a secret that took the itching away immediately and is drying out the sore. The secret is Secret antiperspirant. Just a thin layer applied on the sore, really helps. It’s far better than powders that,unsurprisingly just seem to keep the sore open, after all powders are really small pieces of rock, and that can’t be good for a sore of any kind.
I hope this post helps anyone reading who may be dealing with sores of their own.
Graham the tough guy?
We live just across the street from a huge park. Within the park live many different kinds of wildlife, including herons, bats,frogs, baby goats,(because of the petting zoo) and they all stay in the park… except for one species.
While they’re lovely to look at while they are on the ground, this particular species of bird has been infiltrating our yard lately and my protector, Graham, who fully understands my ornithiphobia has been scaring them off with a loud, guttural meow.
Today, it looks like they’ve plotted revenge, because, instead of the usual one bird, there are now six of them on our lawn, just chilling out.
What kind of bird?
Have you ever fallen in love with something entirely wrong for you?
It happened to me this week. I spend a lot of my time browsing real estate. I appreciate a unique home and I’ve discovered a few really cool modern builds in my area of the world. A couple of days ago I came across a spacious 3 bedroom, two bathroom house that blew my mind. It has all of the privacy you could ever want,set very well back off the street among the trees, and the added attraction of being only a 40 minute drive from the downtown core of a capital city and within 10 minutes of the airport without being in the flight path. And I almost forgot you’d be just 5 minutes away from the ocean! And all for just 1,950,000 dollars Canadian
It’s an older house, built in 1978,but, honey move in ready doesn’t begin to describe it. Now, I want you to remember that I live on Canada’s west coast before you see the first picture. I’m in awe of the fact that this house was built from lumber from the land it sits on..I’m doing this a bit of a disservice by calling it a house rather than the small compound it is.
With nearly 6 acres of land, sixty percent of which has been cleared, and space for 7 cars, an attached workshop and a garage that’s any car lover’s wet dream, this is a very unique property.
Every need is thought of in the garage.
I mentioned that the wood used for the property was cleared from the land it sits on. And you might never run out of firewood!
I also mentioned privacy.
The house is over 3200 square feet and we’re going inside now.
Now let’s go upstairs.
That’s the tour with a few pictures missing. This is a property that will have a specific type of buyer . If it might just be you, contact me for realtor information.
I’m not working with the realtor, nor will I receive any money if it sells weather or not this post has anything to do with the sale. Literally just LOVE THIS HOUSE
Watch “Neil & NASA Explain James Webb’s First Images” on YouTube
I really hope that you’re not getting too sick of the Neil degrasse Tyson videos. I’m particularly fond of his explainer videos ,of which this is one, for 2 main reasons. Number one, they tend to be shorter and, I don’t know about you, but I really have to be in the mood to watch a video that’s longer than 30 minutes, so I try not to take too much of your time. The second reason is that Neil explains each topic fully and in a way that even Chuck Nice understands, no offense meant, mister Nice. But he also doesn’t make us laypeople feel stupid.
Who says cats hate water?
I admit this story is unusual, but not rare. I used to have a beautiful cat named taboo who loved to bathe with me. I’m a tub gal and imagine my surprise when Taboo jumped onto the side of the tub and then stepped onto the dry spot on my tummy and laid down, then dipped his tail into the water and then one of his front paws! He did this EVERY TIME I had a bath. Currently, our Tortoise shell cat,Boo stands just outside the shower door when her chosen person/slave, my husband is in there and pushes her face against the bottom and gets her little tongue in there to lap up some life giving H2O. We both think she’d happily join him ,but hubby is afraid he might step on her.
So next time you hear some moron tell you that ALL CATS HATE WATER, just point them to this post.
Watch “Astronomers detect signals from a galaxy far, far away” on YouTube
Watch “How the World Ends | Jon Stewart” on YouTube
Interesting take on the end of human kind. Because the world won’t end, only our existence will. But I thought that Jon’s take was a likely one.
