Well I had written it on graph paper with one letter in each square, confirming to all who know me that I’ve been “type A” all my life, lol.

She wasn’t one to write in margins but she often tucked things among the pages, maybe to use as a bookmark or keep the paper flat-I’ve found ticket stubs, receipts etc. Most precious to me was receiving one of her vintage cookbooks and finding a letter that I’d written to her when I was 7 years old!

I am a healthcare professional and was inspired to read the Cadfael books after watching the series, they are remarkably well researched and written. I happen to have my grandmother’s herbal book and the uses that the author writes of seem pretty spot on for the times. Highly recommend!

Wonder what happened to the RCMP investigation? Such a joke.

I’m an Ontario healthcare professional of 30+years, I’d like to reiterate above comments.Please don’t allow Ford to line his pockets and those of his friends any further-pushing private sector care while too many Ontarians go without the care they’ve PAID FOR with their taxes! Ford should be jailed!

It may well have been, I don’t recall which platform I was reading it on. 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll be glad to look though because I didn’t get to finish it!
Currently trying to finish reading all the Giller prize-winning novels after realizing last summer that I’d not even read half of them (😒) a few left to go!

I read an article about the best book covers last year and this was one of them.

The U.S. is burning the proverbial candle at both ends if it allows childhood death rates to climb(the outcome of vaccine reduction)to put it bluntly will reduce available military “bodies” in a generation while they need those soldiers to take over the western hemisphere.Tongue in cheek, sorta.😐

I’ve read several of John Irving’s novels, a couple of them are favourites. However I was disappointed with The Last Chairlift, and ultimately didn’t finish it-rare for me, I just found it circuitous and frustrating. Maybe I’ll give the newest one a try and hope it’s more to my liking.🤷🏻♀️

Keep holding them to account Tyler! Patients are not receiving adequate care under the lying Ford government; healthcare staff are stressed and exhausted. Today I heard of a hallway patient whose “room” was made by using a curtain to partition some space in front of an elevator! Ford is a fraud!

Maybe this is meant to be “tongue in cheek” humour but it hits the wrong note if I may use musical jargon. Mr Lightfoot was already a well established singer/songwriter; a massive star in the 70’s and beyond. His poignant ode to the Edmund Fitzgerald made the tragedy unforgettable for generations.

Gordon Lightfoot died in May of 2023. On November 10th in Detroit that year, the bell rang 30 times; once for each man lost on the Edmund Fitzgerald and once for Mr Lightfoot, a sign of respect for his work in writing such a tribute.

Just received Covid and influenza vaccines this week to bump up protection. At least two units on outbreak at local hospital and it’s barely talked about in the community. It’s difficult as a healthcare professional to not feel defeated after nearly six years of this.

This while also losing Billions of extra dollars in healthcare funding during/after COVID.
Forensic audit please!! Ontarians deserve to know where OUR tax dollars have gone; crooked politicians must be held accountable.Ontarians struggle with daily expenses while Ford and cronies line their pockets.

I was surprised (watching from 🇨🇦) at the number of empty seats I saw at Dodger’s stadium, I believe that Roger’s center was sold out just for a watch party while the team is thousands of km away!
