A cute memory. Salsa-cat didn't like apple peels at all, but whatever Helly was having she wanted to have!

I have a lovely view of three dumpsters out of my window and I can see at least 15 supposedly reusable bags from sobeys, shoppers, metro, no frills, dollarama etc poking out of the top.

They could have made people use paper bags or they could have just not offered bags at all and made you use a cardboard box from the store or buy an actual like long-lasting canvas bag... or sufffer. or they could have insisted stores use biodegradable bags, which are usually corn-based and yes they do exist.

Not everybody remembers to bring a bag or even enough bags when they go out shopping. So obviously people are going to spend the 15 cents per bag!

Reusable bags are still made of plastics, but th

I'm not on one side or the other, but I think we should have a discussion about these products, especially given the recent lawsuit.

Also, it's important to note the recent discovery that talcum powder, which was recommended as a feminine hygiene product FOR DECADES was shown to increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Also, interesting to note that Lysol was also once sold as a feminine hygiene product.

I just think, given the history, these very new products warrant an open discussion on the potential risks versus rewards.

I've tried every tactic to try to reinforce a reasonable bedtime and to plan out tasks during the day, but there's always so much NOISE from construction, from dogs, from neighbors, etc... And while I do find that listening to music helps me drown out that noise for basic chores, I need actual silence to really think through and take action on complicated tasks. (Just to note i try to be very quiet when doing these things - I'm not vacuuming my whole apartment at 3 am). Anyone else have this issue?

I live in a major city and it's a beautiful Saturday. While everyone else is crowding the main streets, I opted to wander around my local cemetery. I know that many people think that's weird, and that's fine. I like going there because of that. It's not a park. It's not a place for family picnics (except in some religions, but it's not like a wild party with Bluetooth speakers), or a dog park. It's a place for quiet comtemplation. And nature just thrives there! I heard and/or saw Cardinals, Red winged blackbirds, Robins, Chipping Sparrows, Mourning Doves, Woodpeckers, Crows and even a Raven. There were fat bumblebees and vibrant butterflies.

I could literally feel my tensed muscles melting

I understand choosing the "Disney Princess" style voice for the Princess of Hell as a kind of challenge to the concept of "Hell is bad," but it's so saccharinly sweet, I almost gave up on the show in the first episode. With the exception of "More than anything," I really don't like any of her songs. I'm sure lots of people disagree, so, come at me - I'm ready for the downvotes!
