    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    I naturally have no idea about what's being talked about in Australia. I can tell you that for the past couple of days, our newspapers here are filled with how bad this virus is going to be and there is absolutely zero talk about how dangerous the vaccine is. There is more talk about the very...

    Plumcots?

    We just got them in a couple of days ago Juan. Lots of people buying them. I haven't bought any yet but they sure look good. Bought some last year and they were good so I expect the same. Apple pears, aka Ya Pears, aka Asian Pears were in today as well. Another popular item.

    Pancakes for breakfast....or whatever

    I'm not so sure it's the vanilla you need worry about. When we make our fish & chip batter we let the BP rise the batter up so that it's pretty much flowing over the sides of the bowl. Then we beat it down so that it gives a thin batter on the fish rather then a fluffy un-cooked batter. So that...

    Pancakes for breakfast....or whatever

    My husband can be a great cook. Like yours though - he refers to everything in the kitchen (in fact in pretty much the whole house) as "yours". The fridge seems to be "mine" along with things like the floor and the stove and washer/dryer. Except - the TV!!! It seems to belong to him. We have two...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    It has already been publicly stated that it is completely unknown if this vaccine is safe. Anyone who has the virus is probably not going to be well enough to be running around spreading it to anyone. Any spreading that is done will likely be via things you touch and the air you breathe. Other...

    Canadians' wide spread ignorance of canada

    There's not much national pride to be drawn from a new poll published just in time for Canada Day. The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey suggests the country knows little about its own history - even its most recent history. Only 42 per cent of respondents knew Canada had three territories -...

    Do you talk too much

    This is a problem that has plagued me over the past 10 - 15 years. I used to be shy and never said much of anything. Then one day someone said to me "you talk so much" and I felt so hurt. For a number of years I felt two things about those words. First I thought she was obnoxious for saying them...

    Andem has asked if we want some changes

    I would like to see one change. Threads disappear off the page much too quickly. Sometimes not quickly enough but that's the way it goes. I would like it if the names of the topics such as Club CC; Canadian Cafe etc. etc. were listed across the top of the page just as they are. Clicking on them...
