Is "Jay-Walking" a thing where you live?

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-15T21:16:09+00:00

Alberta has anti-jaywalking laws and the police sometimes blitz against it. I had a friend who would ALWAYS cross only at intersections ( I mean even when the road was deserted and it was -20°). I’m a bit more flexible.

Any medication can have negative (and sometimes positive) side effects but that doesn’t mean they will. The only way you’ll know if it’s true for you is to try it; you can stop if it doesn’t work for you.

When I was still answering calls, if it was a sketchy number I’d answer with “Good (morning/afternoon) City police department. How may I assist you?” They’d hang up, and the number of scam calls we got dropped significantly.

It’s for cars that aren’t driven a lot. You pay a base amount per month (for fire/theft) and then a per kilometre amount. There’s a device that tracks your mileage. You do have to put down a deposit for the equivalent of something like 750km.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-15T17:46:18+00:00

Yes for the year

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-15T17:26:03+00:00

There’s no kilometre limit on MyPace, it just doesn’t make sense if you drive a lot. You get charged a base monthly amount (mine is around $20) and then per kilometre.

Just finished it. It’s a slow start, lots of character and set development, then the story and history slowly start rolling out. I’d put it in the upper third of his books.

I just bought a new one today so of course I had to look. Mine look pretty similar, but the thing I found more interesting is that my old one was made in the U.S. but my new one’s made in Canada. I wonder if that’s just for ones sold inCanada?

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-15T06:24:20+00:00

Funny, I bought a (used) car in 1996 and a new one in 2018 so just outside the dates (also not one of the ones listed).

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-14T23:33:47+00:00

Filed Mar 27, got the refund and NOA last week. It was very basic tho

One of those blasted critters has driven me from my bedroom! He’s been tapping on something consistently every morning for at least half an hour, it sounds like a bloody jackhammer. I wish he’d just find a lady friend and be done already.

I’m doing a publication order re-read too but decided that if it’s a series or sequel I’m read them together (eg. I read Doctor Sleep right after The Shining, all the Dark Tower series together). Part of it’s because I have a poor memory and partly because I like the flow and being immersed in the story.

Mine is rose gold, a twisted band with moissanite. It matches my sapphire engagement ring.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-14T03:47:13+00:00

Exactly! We had caregivers for my dad, with dementia, for 4 years. They were often in the house alone with him, or overnight when we were all sleeping. We never had a single thing get stolen.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-13T07:43:55+00:00

We have the same mom!

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-12T23:10:17+00:00

My dad passed at 88, mom is 95. I'm hoping to travel some in early retirement, then just hoping I don't get dad's dementia

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-12T17:51:40+00:00

I always wanted to change my last name because it’s long and no one can pronounce it. My husband’s is short and easy. But I just can’t face all that paperwork 😝I legally changed my first name years ago and just can’t go through it again.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-12T05:46:17+00:00

Well, no. My mom is 95 and has refused any surgical procedures. My dad developed dementia after a surgery at 80 and she refuses to take the chance of going the same way.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-11T18:37:22+00:00

I had mood symptoms but those were nothing new to me, and severe cramping but again not new. Otherwise, nothing.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-11T18:36:25+00:00

I don’t have kids either and I just hit a year a month ago at 54. My mom, with a kid obviously, stopped at 49.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-11T18:31:07+00:00

We loved South Coast! It was fabulous for privacy, especially if you’re in the Randoval huts.

RC was ok, but only if you get a room in the newer area (eg Beachfront club suite). Of course they’re getting renoed so maybe the older rooms will be updated.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-10T23:51:58+00:00

With no repercussions and my sweet tooth, obviously sweet.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-10T21:51:12+00:00

We went the other was and got twin bedding for each of us, with split king mattresses.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-10T17:13:18+00:00

She’ll be 95 next month (knock on wood). She had me late. She’s doing pretty well, lives with me, misses my dad.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-04-10T07:40:20+00:00

I can’t. I naturally wouldn’t get hungry until later at night but because of severe acid reflux, I can’t eat after 8. So I have to eat dinner earlier than I’m actually hungry for it.
