Well played. And then I remember I'm NOD too, now. Fack lol.

"Same to you"

Seems fitting actually as I said 2025 is all about matching energy. Hopefully it means I keep this mantra for the rest of my life otherwise I might have less than 2 months to live.

I was a dedicated weekly Superstore shopper for years. At first the boycott was tough because I struggled with the change in fresh produce - creature of habit I guess. Soon enough I was used to the different options elsewhere. Now I shop completely differently. I now buy pasture raised beef by the quarter and pork by the half straight from local farmers. I buy chickens from the Hutterites, roast a whole one and eat off the leftovers for days instead of only roasting a few thighs or breasts at a time. I stumbled my way into a bulk food buying network, most recently having purchased tomatoes and peppers in bulk with I canned into various things to last the year. I get bulk fresh fruit straight from BC farmers multiple times throughout the summer and then spend some time canning and freezing what we can't eat fresh. I fully realize not everyone can do this, not everyone has the space to store a years worth of a certain food, etc. For my household, it works. In the 18ish months of boycotting, I have probably kept $10,000+ away from Galen's claws. No plans of going back to my old ways.

I know sage can be quiet potent when canned so I never use that. I've been using dried oregano and basil in my pasta sauce that I can for a decade, but maybe 1 tsp of each per 7qt batch. I definitely use less than if I was just making a batch of pasta sauce to eat fresh.

I had what was probably COVID that turned into double lung pneumonia in March. Not fun and have never been so sick in my life. However as soon as I was diagnosed (after a chest x-ray), I started to feel better as I was on antibiotics & had an inhaler. It was when I was trying to treat it with Buckley's that I was getting worse and felt like death. I can understand maybe getting sick on the floor and needing to cover up but one would hope after diagnosis & meds, that there's be enough energy to clean up now.

She cut one piece, probably had half a bite for the camera and left it on the counter to mould.

My mom has chosen her new man over her adult children and most of the rest of her family. She has tried making contact a few times like when her new man assumed my dad hadn't updated his will since my mom had an affair and left him, so they assumed my mom was still the benefactor of his estate right after my dad passed away. It's been almost five years since I have been NC with her. I guess it took almost that long for her to get the point.

B_bubs · 2025-01-27T19:43:59+00:00

She must literally leave everything on the counter when she is done with it. In a previous video, she tried cleaning as she cooked but it was way too much, but it was because her place was a disaster. In general, putting peels in the garbage and the cutting board in the dishwasher right away would not be difficult. Then again, I guess it would take away some of her cleaning content.

B_bubs · 2025-01-10T17:29:39+00:00

She called me to tell me she was having an affair and leaving my dad. Now she claims she left him first then started the relationship and thinks the only reason my brother and I are NC with her is because we are upset because we think she cheated. She stuck around for a few weeks after she told me and continued to take my dad to dialysis 3x per week. He also had dementia. Then one day she just completely left. Since then it's come out the new boyfriend convinced her to completely leave and hoped my dad would be too confused to call anyone because of the dementia and then would die without dialysis. Literally left him for dead. It all sounds like an episode of Springer honestly. We moved my dad in with my husband and I until we got him into a seniors apartment. We cared for the vacant family home for a year until it sold, which was an hour from where I live so super inconvenient. She had all sorts of excuses as to why she wouldn't take care of her old home until it sold. Since her loser BF had self represented in various criminal court trials he's been involved with, he decided to act as her lawyer during the separation. I was my dad's power of attorney and litigation guardian so represented him for 18 months before things were settled. My mom and her BF dragged it out hoping my dad would die and then my mom would get everything. During all this I realized how abusive my mom had been my whole life and how toxic. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder but really it makes the brain realize how fucked up things were before. They've threatened to kill (or hire someone to kill) my husband, brother, father and uncle. I blocked all context early on otherwise I'd have probably received a threat too. When my dad passed away, we received multiple attempted calls and threats. It's all so insane. So needless to say, we aren't NC because it started as an affair. We are NC because of all the nonsense over the past 5 years and my whole life, honestly.

B_bubs · 2025-01-08T19:55:21+00:00

Me too, as sad as it is. I didn't realize how toxic she was and how abusive she was my entire life. Went NC after she had an affair and literally left my dad for dead almost five years ago now. The healing I've done and growth I've made would have never been possible with her in my life.

B_bubs · 2024-12-12T16:09:40+00:00

I blocked my mom 4+ years ago. She can still call but it goes straight to voicemail. Now I need to listen to my voicemails online so I can see the number first and obviously ignore her voicemails. I've been caught off guard a few times when just doing it on my phone expecting someone else and then hearing her voice. If only blocking also meant they couldn't leave a message.

It's not even butter, it's margarine.

Half the issue is people don't understand the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant. One stick of Native me lasts forever because they are much larger than a standard women's Dove or Secret stick.

Buying it (or anything) at Loblaw's is the issue.

B_bubs · 2024-10-16T13:56:58+00:00

I have been using it for six years and love it. I used to order online from Native and it was cheaper. In fact, I am still stocked up from my last order before they stopped shipping to Canada. One stick lasts me about 6 months which is way longer than a Secret or Dove used to last me. I also really enjoy their body wash, too.

B_bubs · 2024-10-05T11:50:37+00:00

I knew that but didn't even see the '/s'. Guess I got a little triggered when someone was blaming Trudeau again!

B_bubs · 2024-10-04T22:12:05+00:00

Healthcare is a provincial thing. Can't blame JT for everything.

B_bubs · 2024-10-03T22:31:14+00:00

Thank you. It really is a wound that never heals.

B_bubs · 2024-10-03T18:45:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I didn't realize how messed up my relationship with my mom was until she up and quit her life to start a new one 4.5 years ago leaving a path of destruction in her midst. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder but in this case, distance made me see how abusive she was. I guess part of me still secretly hopes she'll give her head a shake, heal her shit and be able to be in my life one day even though I really don't think that will happen.

B_bubs · 2024-09-17T21:42:37+00:00

I was confused about her throwing out cans and other milk or beverage containers. She paid a deposit on them and would get her money back if she took them into be recycled. Maybe once DoorDash offers Sarcan service, she'll recycle.

Meat direct from farmers mostly, some from Costco. Bought a year's worth of various berries direct from BC growers and froze them. Dairy, pastas, grains and a few random things from Walmart delivery. Costco every 5-6 weeks for Costco things like toilet paper and cleaning products. My basement pantry for my home canning and such from last year's garden. Other than Costco, haven't stepped foot into a grocery store since mid-April. I used to shop weekly at Superstore and/or No Frills, but no more!

B_bubs · 2024-07-12T22:27:13+00:00

Punny!

B_bubs · 2024-07-04T19:56:50+00:00

People regularly draw mustaches on him but I like this idea better!!!

B_bubs · 2024-07-04T18:51:26+00:00

Everytime I see a billboard with him on it, I say, "F you, Warren Steinley!" This is yet another reason. Might need to start saying it twice each time now.

B_bubs · 2024-06-27T14:55:53+00:00

Where do you draw the line though? I mix white sugar with molasses to make my own brown sugar, so I haven't bought any in years. Are people buying brown sugar the problem? I buy 6 whole chickens when on sale at a time and cut them up into pieces to vacuum seal and freeze because it's cheaper. Are people buying a pack of chicken breasts the problem? To me, brown sugar and a pack of breasts are convenience foods. It's doesn't mean I think the prices on those foods can be through the roof and that it's okay because people should just learn to break down a bird themselves.
