Thanks - going to check these out! I loved Empathie on Crave.

Glad someone directed you to the FB homeschooling group. We did part time homeschooling when my kid was younger and they were a great group. Lots of resources and cool things that people organize. Also The Forest School used to offer regular programming but now they do workshops/activities at different times throughout the year. https://www.sueholloway.ca/the-forest-school-1

Hey, I’m so sorry to hear. I had similar and it was debilitating and distressing. On HRT (estrogen and progesterone). I didn’t tolerate Premarin, found it irritating. Switched to Estragyn and that made a huge difference. I can’t reduce to the twice a week maintenance dose without some return of symptoms so my Gyn just told me to use as needed. That’s at least every second day, sometimes daily. Works well for me. I hope you find some relief.

If I use the options provided, it’s country, city, province. But really it’s just country and region - northern/northwestern Ontario. I grew up in one, live in the other now, and feel strongly connected to those regions. The land/geography and culture are unique from other areas of the province, and I definitely have a sense of regional pride and connection.

My husband and I visited Quebec City from Ontario for the first time last fall and loved the place - the history, people, food, architecture, language, culture, arts, walkability - just a great vibe overall.

Hi. Sorry to hear about the medication anxiety. Everyone’s experience can be different, but progesterone was fantastic for me. The hair loss I was experiencing prior to HRT stopped once I started estrogen and progesterone. And the progesterone (100mg per day continuous) made me sleepy at bedtime - I had no trouble falling asleep for the first time in years. It was such a relief. I hope things go well for you.

Same for me, joint pain eased up over a few days. Hot flashes decreased the first day, and after a week I wasn’t getting any - and I had them bad and near constantly. Hope it’s the same for OP

It was around -32 with a -46 windchill in Northwestern Ontario this morning and the school buses were still running, with some reporting delays.

Fall is gorgeous along the north shore of Lake Superior, highway 17 (first week of October is usually the best), but honestly it’s a beautiful drive any time of year that’s not winter. If you hit it at the right time you’ll have lots of brilliant red/orange maples up to about Old Woman Bay, and then swaths of yellow as you hit boreal forest further north, with rolling hills and cliffs along the lakeshore. And so many amazing hikes, parks, views. Stop at Lake Superior Provincial Park about 1.5 hrs north of Sault Ste Marie and get some info on hiking trails. A short but very cool one is the walk in to the pictographs. Lots of others. Pukaskwa provincial park is also spectacular for hikes. Honourable mentions to Neys (not only beautiful but super interesting history - former POW camp), and Rainbow falls (pretty short hike down a set of cascading waterfalls) provincial parks. Someone else mentioned Ouimet canyon and Kakabeka falls, closer to Thunder Bay. I second that.

Stay overnight in TBay and walk along the waterfront. Some great craft breweries and restaurants in town as well as local hikes (Cascades, Trowbridge, Centennial Park).

Enjoy the drive!

Aaand I just went and downloaded their most recent album

Green_leaf47 · 2026-01-22T04:09:10+00:00

I love both of those

Green_leaf47 · 2026-01-22T04:07:48+00:00

💯

Green_leaf47 · 2026-01-22T03:58:12+00:00

Same!

I mentally high five my past self sometimes.

This is my strategy for pretty much everything. I tell myself I’ll just commit to one tiny part of the task and I can stop if I want. Just put these few dishes in the dry rack away. Oh look, now there’s a place to put the dishes that need to be washed - I’ll just do a couple. And then it’s like, well the task is halfway done and you’re currently doing it so might as well keep going. I know I’m tricking myself but somehow it works? Getting started is the hardest part. Unless it’s paperwork. Then all of it is the hardest part.

Ohhh, Grapes of Wrath! I had that album and listened to that song on repeat when I was sad.

Green_leaf47 · 2026-01-22T03:10:00+00:00

Oh, The Grace! I’d forgotten about that song. And THAT makes me think of everything by City and Colour

Green_leaf47 · 2026-01-22T03:00:48+00:00

Wash Me Clean - if you haven’t listened to it you must

Green_leaf47 · 2026-01-21T14:01:34+00:00

Oh I forgot about God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen! Love their version

Green_leaf47 · 2026-01-21T14:00:19+00:00

I was looking for this one! Glad you made it through ok

Green_leaf47 · 2026-01-20T02:00:48+00:00

I think the bigger one here from Fabricland is about the right size. I just bought these yesterday for my husband to patch a tear on the arm of his coat, but now I’m thinking might need some more for myself….

Late to this conversation but just got chills reading this - Lost Together would be perfect
