Hoping for 🎶nothing but blue skies from now on🎶 I post boring bits of my life & anything I find interesting. If you followed me from the old place because of hockey; don't bother. I stopped watching hockey a few years ago. Pronouns: she /her

Small Canadian production company did a wrestling film called Dark Match. Not sure if it is still streaming. Creepy plot.

I think that sounds like a great plan!

Trying to decide if I need new Xmas jigsaw puzzles. This is the current inventory. Four of these have never been done before. (Yes, I do jigsaw puzzles more than once). This inventory brought to you by the fact that the seasonal jigsaw puzzle store has opened in City Center mall.

A photo of a pile of jigsaw puzzles. All are Christmas themed except one which is New year's themed. There are two puzzle Advent calendars. 13 are 1,000 piece puzzles and one has 1500 pieces

I am disproportionately disappointed to see that the person who had their coffee mugs on display right by their first floor window appears to have moved.

Also, my phone changed that to the wrong word... Whether, not weather

Also, it seemed to be embraced by the people who I least want in power. I'll leave it at that

The issue with parties (IMO) is that it was a solution to a problem that was not a problem. Weather rightly or wrongly, it was viewed as a way for the UCP to get their people into power. That not going to change in the short-term

No. You will never convince me. That's swans are anything other than ugly birds. Ducks, ducks are wonderful!

This reminds me of all of the times that I argued for a downtown arena in Edmonton. All of the car-centric people wanted it to be somewhere where they could be huge parking lots.
I'm glad we got it right with respect to location

In Toronto, the stadium is near the country’s biggest transit station and now surrounded by dense urbanism. Sometimes we get it right.

Nice shot. Even if it is a swan. One of my least favourite water birds

$70 million for Turkish Tylenol, millions more for a war-room to promote oil & gas plus paying out 2 coal companies $240 million dollars this year for flip flopping on contracts but tell me again how the UCP Gov’t can’t afford to give our teachers what they need 3 weeks into their strike.

The line has been drawn.

If Premier Smith invokes the notwithstanding clause, expect an unprecedented provincial labour strike that will shut down the entire province.

Democratic rights must be protected at all costs.

Again, just guessing but my experience with the staff at those clinics is that they want to keep people healthy. I believe many of them are as tired (or more) of the games as most of us are. They are caught in a system

Karen Douglas 🇨🇦 @karenbdc.bsky.social · 1d

I am just guessing but the process to pay for your covid vaccine if you get it at one of the public health clinics is that they are going to bill you. So, that agreement is probably an agreement that you owe the money. It sounds as if the actual bills are going to come out of a central AHS billing

Also, the 'we' in your initial post might be misleading🤔

I'm pretty sure there's a rule that says that no discussion is needed as long as you are already a dog household. Unless, you are proposing bringing in two or more dogs at the same time, then perhaps you should mention it. I think that's the rule 🤔😀

Love corgis. I hope this works out

My doctor is always behind schedule. Part of that is because she actually spends time with her patients and many of them book an appointment for one thing, and then bring something else up. She cares. I never mind waiting

That sounds painful, even when I read about it.

Impossible to capture, but the sky has been putting on a show in pink, orange, and purple for a long while. Fantastic sunrise!

A picture of this sunrise in the distance with buildings in the foreground. You can see the towers of the ice district in Central Edmonton
