You know that one of the biggest signs of a scam is someone asking you to leave the platform and go onto platforms like Telegram or WhatsApp?

I literally have trained people professionally on spotting online scams.

Hey…

Tell the strong people in your life that it’s okay to be weak sometimes, to not do everything themselves, to fall down and not always be strong.

It’ll mean more to them than you’ll ever know.

That’s what happened with me at the GM/Chevy dealer for my last car. It was ridiculous.

I love it when a few years into buying a car the dealership starts asking if you want to "upgrade". Yes, yes, you know what I want to do? Put myself in a never ending debt cycle.

No, I don't want to upgrade my car!

I might have to go there! Post troops armed with tiny laser pointers to distract them?

Thanks! It was pretty delicious. Now, days of turkey soup ahead.

I need to dig up my potatoes, but I'm not holding out too much hope. Last year they were like rocks!

Cooking 11 dishes (some have to be gluten free), is … fun. But now the men are cleaning up, and I’m relaxing.

(To be fair, my mom did 1 dish and the gravy, and my daughter did the gluten free biscuits)

Happy Canadian Turkey day.

I do okay with tomatoes. Some years great. I should be digging up potatoes today … I don’t have high hopes. Last year they were like rocks.

TikTok is trying to convince me we have to paint our ceiling, walls, trims, doors all the same neutral colour through the entire house TO NOT BE BORING!

How is this not the definition boring???

Putting this out in case anyone else could use the tip. 80s slider windows. I don’t have the money to replace them, but they literally are so bad they create wind! Rather than yearly plastic, this is what we did:

Rails, plexiglass, foam window seal strips, little bit of clear caulk.

I put fresh soil in one potted plant.
Two of the cats are obsessed with trying to use it as a bathroom now. The pinecones failed this time. They’re too determined. Harsher methods are needed. 😆

Return to medieval times, I guess!

Yes, but not usually too much yet. The warm weather has held out a bit longer than usual and though. Certainly not usually warm enough to still be growing berries

Yeah, half the canes are yellow. This is what the other half is doing!

So, it’s mid October …
I’m in Canada. Prairies.
This is weird.

The system is very broken.

There shouldn't be billionaires either. No one is working THAT hard. They're depriving staff of decent pay and benefits to put that money into the hands of a select few, generally people who already don't work three jobs just to eat and have a roof over their head.

Ideas for Writing Healing Magic

In the magic series, we're going to review a whole host of magic types! Magic systems are more than flashy spells and glowing hands. They're rules, rituals, and consequences—the invisible architecture behind every fireball, healing touch, or whispered curse. Regardless of the type of magic, it needs structure and purpose to truly resonate with readers. We get into how to build a magic system and the importance of it in the D-Script…

Starting to believe that people who back into parking spots just enjoy the power of holding everyone else up...

...I may park in a 6 floor parking garage every day.

I always get a kick out of how fast their meetings are!
And that they only have necessary staff at them.
