I’d like to think my amazing husband is unique…and he apparently is. I weep for humanity because he should not be unique

Having a moment while loving my hubby who continues to support me despite my latest health issues

Studies show men leave sick wives at a higher rate than wives leave sick husbands, with one older study finding a 20.8% separation rate for sick women compared to 2.9% for sick men.

That’s okay. We Canadians can always do this conversion for you. 😉

Probably not. 103.9 a litre with all our taxes is almost like giving fuel away up here these days

Just a reminder that while as a consumer that is great, because Dani went on a post election spending spree we now need WTI to trade in the high $70s to balance the budget so the per litre is not good for our government bottom line…that has plenty of tax room to make up the difference but …you know

Given hubby’s work schedule it was also the only day it was convenient for him to vote. As I reminded him which ward we live in and why he might want to vote for or against certain candidates. And yes we vote public school trustees and what one candidate there is particularly concerning

ANALYSIS | What’s missing from the deficit debate? Any plan to eliminate it | CBC News

The debate about the federal deficit — or, more specifically, the health and wisdom of federal fiscal policy — remains something of a phoney war, with little substantive engagement. But perhaps, with ...

Despite the fact that I regularly display stroke like symptoms and fall like a tree from losing consciousness and have pain that would make most people beg for mercy, migraines rarely qualify for long term disability. We are expected to just, you know, deal.

From my hemiplegic migraine group

“You don’t look sick” Thanks that’s the goal. But here is what you don’t see. I cancel plans, I rest for hours after a shower, I forget basic words mid sentence, I grieve a version of myself barely remember, fight everyday against a body that doesn’t cooperate. It is not just tired. It is chronic illness.

Alberta's Expert Panel on Post Secondary Institution Funding goes all in on white pride

Although there may be exceptional cases for setting aside
seats for persons from designated groups (e.g. Indigenous students or students from
rural areas of the province), the freedom of individuals from discrimination on grounds
enumerated in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Human Rights
Act is a first principle in the Canadian Constitution and must be honoured in all public
post-secondary institutions.

Another interesting note, you cannot read the text of the panels report. It’s not inclusive. Yup you read that correctly
