Cashapp scammed will say they want to send you money.
Then they say they did and send you a picture of a photo shopped receipt that they sent you money.
They then want to send personal information so they can " help " get you the money.
They then have your info.
Don't get scammed

I agree. This isn’t a new house and I expect that there will be beings around.

Whoa! That’s wicked!

You will want to bundle up today as it is a chilly start to the week, sunny today with a high of 12, clear and a low of 0 overnight. Mainly sunny tomorrow and 14 degrees in #Kamloops. Have a good short work week!

A month from today I'll be waking up in Toronto for the 1st time since Nov. 2012. I visited at least annually from '04, but in Jan 2013 went to HK, & a few years later I was a dad. Our Canadian road trip last year was in the Maritimes & Quebec. Seeing Hanggai on the 9th; Cindy Lee @ Massey Hall 11/6

Cindy Lee LIVE at Massey Hall Nov 6 2025 w/ [opening band] Blue Light

Hanggai 2025 Canada Tour TORONTO Sunday Nov. 9, 2025 7:30pm Queen Elizabeth Theatre [located within The Ex]

Hanggai is also playing Montreal on November 12th —I'll be there too, at L'Olympia— and Ottawa on the 16th (can't make this one; I'll fly home on the 15th, is the plan at present.)

We’re building this country — creating new opportunities for workers.

I’m going to a cattle auction today. Hoping I don’t freeze today, it’s only 18F here at the moment!

Good morning Kyle! A cup of a hot beverage is just the thing on this cold morning!

Summer Oakes- the Witch on the Hill 🇨🇦 @summeroakes.bsky.social · 4h

Sage maybe but there hasn’t be any sign of mice here on the farm since that ermine moved in last summer. It took care of the vole problem too!

Here in the northern hemisphere, it's cold & flu season. Garlic is probably one of the best antimicrobial #herbs there is. Add it to as much food as you can. Garlic breath ain't so good but chew a piece of parsley afterwards. Works a charm (heh) to sweeten breath.

A recipe card headed "Jo's Perfect Potions Ingredients." In the body, Garlic, Allium sativum. Cooking: Salad dressings, Meats, vegetables, Garlic bread... Medicinal: Infections, Coughs, Worms. Magical: Healing/Health, Lust, Protection

I don’t know what it is about my office but Elke growls a lot when she’s in here with me. Doesn’t growl elsewhere in the house. Sigh, this could be some fun I don’t want to know anything at all about!

I decided that a bowl of Cheerios would have to do for brekkie. Now this is interesting; Elke has never shown any interest in ‘people food’ and I’m grateful for that but she seems to think this bowl of cereal on a Doberman nose height table might be dog food! 😂

I need breakfast earlier than usual today so I’m heading to the kitchen to see if anything at all looks appetizing. I’m not overly hopeful. 😂

Summer Oakes- the Witch on the Hill 🇨🇦 @summeroakes.bsky.social · 5h

Ditto!!

It’s a Bach Flower Remedy. You can google it for lots of info. I use some variety of them on a daily basis here.

I don’t need to wear town clothes to go to a cattle auction but I do need to wear something a bit nicer looking (or maybe cleaner!) than my barn clothes. And it needs to be something warm as it’s currently only 26F/-2C. I’m so not a fan of cold weather!
