  1. I just smile and say "yup it is nice". I don't need to justify to anybody how we chose to spend our money.
  2. Oh, if you are using images on social media with the information in the image then also have the same information in the body of the post. People using screen readers often can not have text in an image recognized.
  3. Frequent regular updates via social media. If there is an immediate change then get that information out quickly but regular 4pm update every day stating the current status and repeating important information such as location for evacuees to register etc. I remember the social media for the Yellowknife evacuation was handled very well. GOOD signage around town. We had a lot of evacuees in town during the summer and poor signage made everything even more stressful. Don't forget your local library as both a source to direct people to but also making sure the staff there know up to date information. Just send them an email or something so they have the information on hand when people reach out. We had to keep scouring Facebook for new information because the town never thought to keep us up to date 🙄
  4. 31, living together for a year and a half, married two years later, kids started a year after that.
  5. I figured what the hell, let's see how many I can do. The answer is at least 3. I got 3 pushups in before I was tackled by twin toddlers and then a dumb as rocks mutt trying to be involved in whatever it was we were all doing on the floor. 😂
  6. My mother had 4 weeks in hospital and a week of out patient monitoring after an emergency abdominal surgery but that time overlapped with a planned spinal surgery so I'm not sure what the recovery time for either alone would have been. 🤔
  7. Grew up in the 90s in northern Canada as one of 5 kids. My mom was a pretty crunchy SAHM when I was young so we ate a lot of veggies, beans, whole wheat bread. She cooked everything from scratch, canned her own produce, bought what little meat we did get in bulk from farmers, made yogurt on the radiator 😂. When I was 10 she went to work part time and still gardened but didn't can as much. She used to buy flats of fruit canned in juice to last us all winter rather than buy the fruit and can it herself. More store bread. We started eating cereal when it was on sale rather than a big pot of oatmeal for breakfast. Frozen juice. When I was a teenager she started working full time and we had more convenience foods but she always had a garden and her cooking style of lots of veggies and very little meat stayed. My husband is the same age as me, grew up in the next town over. His mom was a SAHM for his entire life. She gardened a little but almost every was sidekick noodles, stove top stuffing, tang orange drink etc.
  8. And she's apparently been free from her addiction for 7 years. Sooo she read a book with a kiss in it at 11 and that resulted in 2 years of porn addiction. Not to dismiss someone else's struggles but I'm honestly curious if those two years were an addiction to hardcore pornography or if she read some smutty fanfiction and felt really guilty about it.
  9. Drama was published in 2012 and most articles I've seen say that Lanah Burkhardt is 20.
  10. Bacon only lasts 1 month in the freezer 🤨. That doesn't seem right.
  11. I'm with you on this plan. My MIL passed just after Christmas last year and I'm dreading this Christmas so much. If I could skip the next 2 months I 100% would.
  12. Just an idea. Instead of goodwill maybe you could donate the winter clothing directly to a shelter. It would not help the former houseguest who, by the sounds of it, is suffering from mental illness and may be homeless but it may help someone else in a similar situation.
  13. And if he'd lied on the form? I'm not trying to be snarky. As a Canadian I'm trying to understand the rationale that we just trust people to self incriminate themselves as a means of gun control. Is there a mechanism to confirm the information provided is accurate BEFORE someone could buy a silencer?
  14. Unfortunately no. Her body was not found. What they found was enough DNA evidence at the festival site to conclude that she had died.
