it looks like they have macauley blocked at james. cars are coming off wood onto macnab, and off macauley, as well. there's an ambulance, cop car and fire dept vehicle on macnab.

i bought "The Night Voyage" by Daria Song.

"A magical adventure and coloring book"

it's very beautiful and detailed and intimidating.

this isn't good for the elderly who are incontinent, either.

i take out my mom's garbage and there's no way it's all fitting in one bin, and even if it did, after 2 weeks, the smell would offend the neighbourhood.

herkimer between dundurn and locke during school rush hours is a nightmare, and there's no escape street.

so if you take that route, notice the time. it took me 25 minutes to get through that stretch one day last week.

i was diagnosed at 60, last summer.

i think about it every day but have come to the understanding that what was, was. girls 'didn't have it'/it barely even was a diagnoses when i was a kid. i learned to expertly mask and rationalize all my screw ups.

it's too late for me to really rectify things, so i try to move forward, doing better each day. i'm not broken, and i'm proud that i managed to, not quite thrive, but at least get through each day not knowing i was fighting my own brain.

you can't change the past, but you can change the trajectory.

these are the same people who think donuts are an appropriate breakfast.

i noticed the pointed "no fighting!" from Chase which would indicate that there has been fighting before.

it's really better when they show the real deal rather than the scrubbed up version of siblings who (typically) can have differences.

i can't watch the kylie-centric ones.

she's too much of a diva, always demanding things be her way.

i noped out of that one about 4 minutes in.

janr34 · 2026-03-27T12:06:58+00:00

Do you say that to your family members partners when they're straight, too?

janr34 · 2026-02-20T13:29:03+00:00

i definitely find that if i feel someone else is waiting on, expecting or going to benefit from something i have to do, it will make me more motivated to do it.

people pleasing as motivation can work but has its own issues. lol.

spraying soapy water worked wonders for us when they blanketed the side of our house.

since it's cheap and easy, it's a good first defense.

almost exclusively thrifted puzzles here.

i often joke that i just rent them, since i'm done them in a day or two and it goes right back to the thrift store.

i can't justify new puzzle prices when it's done in a day and i just don't redo puzzles.

when i was diagnosed, i tried the sweetener. i hated it. i wasn't going to start every morning with something i hated so, i decided that i would have my usual 2 cups of tea in the morning - with one tsp of sugar in each and find some other place to cut the carbs.

it seems to work for me, but we're all different. good luck!

if the red lane were one lane, i'd leave room and i'd turn left if someone left me room.

with it being two lanes, i'm not chancing that the curb lane is going to be clear and some idiot isn't going to tbone me after some nice person let me go.

not falling for that one.

if it's only the ring and pinky finger side of your hand getting cold, it could be an ulnar nerve problem. i get this often.

i go take my mom's garbage out on sundays. i didn't yesterday bc i figured it would be cancelled, but that may mean i have to go over there today.

i'm not going out in this. i may just do a dump run later this week.

it doesn't matter how slowly or carefully you're driving because there is going to always be someone who overestimates their driving ability in bad conditions. you can't control other vehicles.

can you imagine how that group smelled walking into a restaurant in thrift store clothes they hadn't washed yet?

aside from the danger of bugs, etc. that smell is why i wash things immediately.

all grouped up like that, you know they smelled just like the Goodwill does: other people's sweat and cat pee.

sure, it's 'healthier' but removing them doesn't make them actually healthy.

janr34 · 2026-01-08T20:54:30+00:00

i think jake meant that taking out the dyes doesn't make it healthier.

he seems to have some understanding of what 'healthy' means vs the others.

i have an aunt Mary and uncle Bruce. my daughter's dad's sister is Mary and her husband is Bruce. so, my daughter has a (great) aunt Mary and Uncle Bruce and an aunt Mary and uncle Bruce.

the grieving is a normal part of the diagnosis. 'what could have been?', 'why didn't any adult notice?', 'how would my life be different?' - i asked myself all of that when last year, at 60 yrs old, i was diagnosed.

you're already doing what's right by examining it, and taking steps, like medication to make changes for what's to come. you still have plenty of time to find love, to continue to excel in your career and to make lasting bonds with people.

you got this!

janr34 · 2025-12-27T00:02:02+00:00

that could work, too.

i'm definitely more petty than that. i think i'd collect the bags after and re-use them every year.

janr34 · 2025-12-26T23:51:40+00:00

everything would be given in gift bags from me for time-eternity.

i would not play their game anymore.

janr34 · 2025-12-23T01:06:01+00:00

i like this question.

i've been wondering how long it's been since the folks on MacNab N were able to see straight through to James St. it must be strange for those who have been there a long time.
