Should I be worried?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 29 Aug

I used to get all sorts of spam email showing up in my 'regular' email. I'd always mark it as spam, then delete it. Sometimes there'd be a dozen or more of them. But for the last week or two, I haven't received any, and I'm...

Will I ever get to see the hygienist again?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 29 Aug

Dental hygienist, y'know, the one who scrapes at your teeth and pokes your gums then scrubs your teeth with a little floor polisher and paste wax? Well, maybe not that last bit. Anyway, I had a cleaning schduled for Friday, August...

All summer Environment Canada has been issuing heat warnings. This morning they've issued a "waterspout watch". "Conditions are favourable for the development of waterspouts over the Great Lakes today and possibly into...

I'm disgustipated

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 22 Aug

Earlier this year (April 28) Canada held a federal election and the leader of the opposition (Pierre Polyvirus) lost his home riding seat. Now, a normal person would take the hint and step down. But not little PP....

Either fried or loaded with sugar

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 19 Aug

I'm talking about "fair food" or the kind of stuff that makes nutritionists shudder. And might make you regurgitate your brekky just thinking about it. Deep fried frozen watermelon? Bacon cotton candy? Ice “Kreamchi”...

Happy Oscar Peterson Day

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 15 Aug

Oscar Peterson was born in Montreal on this day 100 years ago. Unfortunately, he died in 2007, but we're celebrating the centenary of his birth, anyway. Wikipedia says of him, "A jazz pianist who possessed dazzling, fluid...

I wanna cry

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 12 Aug

Yesterday, I had two lovely ears of corn on the stalks in my garden. I thought I'd leave them for one more day, Today, nothing! Something got them. I don't know if someone came in my yard and took them or if it was the work of...

Are they crazy?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9 Aug

Or just out to have some fun... Would you think to make a boat out of cardboard, especially if you weren't allowed to use any waterproofing? And two people in the craft... I wonder how long these 'boats' would last before they...

Red bird, red bird

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 5 Aug

I've been seeing a lot of red birds lately. They seem to like my thorn bush, which has red leaves. There are those who believe red birds are associated with angels, including the spirits of loved ones who have passed on. I don't...

Well, it's cooler today

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 31 Jul

Unfortunately, it's also wetter... It rained overnight, and might rain some more this morning, so I probably won't be cutting the grass today. But I might do some weeding -- they come out better when the ground is wet and not the...

Who's Sorry Now?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 18 Jul

Fans of Connie Francis, that's who. She was one of the most popular singers of the 1950s and early 1960s, with hits like the aforementioned "Who's Sorry Now?" and "Where The Boys Are". She was 87.

Be afraid

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 14 Jul

Very afraid... Mattel is adding AI to children’s toys. “Mattel will bring the magic of AI to age-appropriate play experiences,” The "magic of AI"? "Age-appropriate play experiences"? Sounds to me like a way of...

Must be the diet version

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 3 Jul

I just made some toast... both slices I pulled out of the bag had big air holes in the middle. I'd show them to you but I've already eaten them.

What a difference a day makes

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 27 Jun

Yesterday they were just buds. Today, they are these lovely day lilies. And tomorrow, they'll probably be all closed up. They certainly live up to their name. And yes, they ARE day lilies, not tiger lilies. Tiger lilies have dark...

Off to take a quick bath

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 27 Jun

And put on some nice, clean, day clothes. It's been so hot and humid this week that I've just been wearing the same T-shirt nightie... loose and breathable and soaks up the sweat.

Yay! It's raining!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 25 Jun

Never thought I'd be glad to see the rain again after all the rain we've had this spring but after the last few super hot days temps just may cool off a bit. It's 26°C/79°F... I could take a bar of soap out there and have a nice...

And it has nothing to do with the high heat dome we're enjoying... 33°C/92°F, predicted to last until 8pm Wednesday. I spent three days in Hamilton, trying to tame Juanita's jungle. I had a look at it Thursday and said "Nope! I...

Just had a shower

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50312) • St. Catharines, Ontario 18 Jun

A cold shower. A cold, unexpected shower... I was in my backyard tending to a flower bed when the sky started grumbling, and I said to it, "Please let me finish this bit before you open up." But it didn't heed my request. I...
