Life time of living in BC has given me an appreciation for the absurd in politics and real life. Play bridge quite badly. Used to write. Love train travel. Happily married 40 years to man who does not play bridge and hates trains. I don't donate.

At a guess, I'd say from the 1940s or 1950s. It's a very nice piece.

I complained a lot about BC's covid shot program, but have to say the email notice to book has worked seamlessly for the last couple of shots.

no one would see it anyway because I don't think people would have wanted to buy finished project either and then my feelings would have been hurt and I would have spent a lot of money.
On a scale of 1 - 10, how right was I, with 10 being completely right?

@barrsteve.bsky.social Honest question here. I liked to write in screenplay format, so did, and didn't send out many queries because my feelings got hurt when no one wanted to buy them. I don't think getting onscreen without making it myself would ever have been possible, and then probably...

I'm going to visit 40 year daughter and her in-laws to be for Thanksgiving weekend. Looking for advice from 40 year old daughters on how not to drive her batshit crazy.
(we get along well, but am looking to not be annoying)

With settlement for Via Rail delays - why did no journalists ask CN why they haven't fixed the possible signal problem? There must be an engineering solution. #canadianmedia

I wish I'd figured out something myself. (retired now) Good luck.

irl I know someone who does that. She enjoys it. She's a very gentle patient person.

You could work as a recreational director at an assisted living facility. It's probably a fairly short course.

Preston Manning's fiction made real in his Alberta pandemic report | CBC News

Before the ex-politician helmed a major review of health emergency management, he wrote about an imagined COVID commission. The reports reach many similar conclusions.

Wonder what's happening with the class action?

You can find anything on microfiche, as long as you know the approximate date.
There's a lot being lost because of algorithms, I guess. If no one but me wants to know what happened Oct 7, 1963 and was reported in a small town paper, it's not going to be findable, except on microfiche.
