Weekly Wrap Up (Nov. 16 - Nov. 22)

I'm mad! 😠 I'm irate! 😠 I'm absolutely livid! 😠  So someone told on me!! Told the US that I mistakenly took US Thanksgiving last week instead of the upcoming one. Now my green card lottery entry has been cancelled over it 😮 !!! I can think of one 'tuckian that would have reported me. No not you @astone2292   Okay, just kidding. All above is fictional and untrue.   The fact remains that I honestly thought it was this past week that Americans took most of the week off for

Weekly Wrap Up (Nov. 9 - Nov. 15)

😮  Ever wake up in the morning and see something and know you have to do something about it? No, I'm not referring to that, guys .  I did that this morning. I opened the fridge and I have to admit it was pretty bare. The thing is when you see your bare fridge, you probably going to notice it needs a really good cleaning! So there I am at 8 this morning with everything fitting onto one shelf, and pulling out the other 3 shelves, the two crispers and meat tray, and all the door pockets.

Is it cold in your neck of the woods 🥶 I heard it was getting below zero (32F) in southern parts of the US of A 😮 In November! I imagine I'm going to hear from our Florida contingent that it is getting down to 70F in the evenings   So an interesting week has come to a close. Scratch that, it wasn't an interesting week. It was kind of the 2nd week of November blah week. Now if it was your birthday, then I missed the bright, shiney happiness of the week! You should have included me to li

Weekly Wrap Up (Oct. 26 - Nov. 1)

YAWN  You know what? I could use another hour of sleep tonight   Yes, in North America it is that time of the year where if you have such a thing as Daylight Savings Time, it is coming to an end in a few hours. I do find it funny that since tonight we are getting an extra hour of sleep, so to speak, there is less bitching than if we were losing an hour  Oh sorry, putting forth a compelling argument without any emotion involved. Is that better?   Yesterday was Halloween 😮 Did you d

Whoa!  Stop the clock!! Who said we could be a week left in October already 😮 I mean, less than a week to Halloween 🎃, 4 weeks from 'merican Thanksgiving, 2 months away from Christmas🎄. When did summer end? Oh wait, we've had our first snowfall already but where I live that can happen 12 months a year   Speaking of Halloween... next Friday! Any plans for you? I live in a secured building, no it is not a prison  🔐  . We don't get kiddies trick-or-treating, so not going to buy any c

Weekly Wrap Up (Oct. 12 - Oct. 18)

One week was in the books, and now, so is the second week! I'm talking about snow storms   No, I'm talking about the Yearly Anthology. I know a few of you read all the stories after week 1, have you done so after week 2? I"m going to keep tonight short and sweet  I have an overnight guest , and it isn't Brad . So quick question for GA Land, how many of the anthologies have you read so far? Jumping right into what happened the past week, we had some interesting blogs. Monday,

**Sigh** It is pouring out. Yet an hour to the west, in the foothills where I just came from a Thanksgiving dinner, it is not raining but snowing like crazy. We are supposed to wake up in the city to a blanket of snow.  **Sigh** Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow cannuckle heads! I hope you are having some time to be around either friends or family and enjoying carving up Tom on this festive holiday  There is at least one thing you are thankful, let's hear what it is. You don't have

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 28 - Oct. 4)

Rain, rain, go away and come back another day   Why you ask? They said such rain may just turn into the s*** word overnight  While some people might be laughing their heads off, all I can wish on them is to have a long, damp, wet, rainy, cold winter  You know who you are   So a big huge thank you to Cia, my favourite admin the past 2 weeks , for helping me out with the Weekly Wrap Up. I'm glad you all showed her your love   I was off to Vancouver for a week to visit with family an

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 21 - Sept. 27)

While Wildone is still off being his wild self... I'm bringing you the blog. I am SO not wild! My day consisted of cleaning, laundry, running errands with my daughter to Daiso for lined sticky notes (my FAV for work) a stop at the local health food store and Kroger (titled Fred Meyers) to top off my grocery shopping. I did find some delectable looking peaches... so make of that what you will!  Hopefully you all are making the most of the weekend! What are your wild and crazy plans? Are you polis

Happy Fall, or Spring depending on your hemisphere  Not sure about you, but we are sitting about 6-10 degrees Celsius above our normal temperatures.  Now before you all say it is all the hot air coming from me, we can test that theory. I left for Vancouver on Saturday morning. Thank you Cia for putting in the stories this week and doing the wrap up next week  . So we will see if Calgary cools off, and Vancouver heats up. Actually that would be good for the ego as I think I could say I'm hot

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 7 - Sept. 13)

I really need to start using my calendar and putting in reminders to do the Weekly Wrap Up  Either that or retire and go to one of the homes that someone keeps pressuring me to go to   My apologies for being late again.  Let's get this done!! Monday, we had a super-duper review from @spike382 on a story that sounds very interesting. If the review doesn't grab your attention, then hopefully the story cover art  will : Tuesday, @Myr did a nice dive into the all the kissy-kissy

Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 31 - Sept. 6)

What a rollercoaster of a week! 😮  It was a lot of highs , it was a lot of lows . No, I did not borrow this from Dickens . Yet I, and you hopefully made it through it. I, like others have noticed the huge switch has been flipped since we hit September here in my neck of the woods. It seems like it was late June and I was talking about the sun being seen close to 10:30 at night. Now, it is like at 6:15 someone turned the lights out and we all went to bed for the fall and winter  Maybe

Weekly Update (Aug.24 - Aug. 30)

Like wowsers  ! Where did the summer go? In my neck of the woods, Labour Day is the unofficial last day of the summer season. Not that we will have a blizzard blowing in on the 2nd, although some people think that happens in Canada  (not naming names) and yet we still have summer weather all month. Just things kind of slow right down. Resorts are quieter, kiddies are back in school, big kiddies are in uni/college/trade school, etc.  I decided to take a work week out of town last week  

Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 17 - Aug.23)

Weekly Wrap Up!

Wow! What a week of the ever so popular Secret Author contest, I guess we could call this SA Week. We found out who was connected to which story  We also found out the winners of the most popular story from Readers and Authors. Congratulations to @impunity and @Thirdly respectfully. It turns out that Thirdly didn't write all of the stories 😮 I guessed all of them were written by Thirdy . At least I got 1 right  Just before posting my guess, I noticed the rules about only one story per author. I'

I took the desktop into a shop. $45 for the diagnostic and they couldn't find anything that was causing such a slow boot up. He was actually surprised it took over a 1/2 hour or more before starting up till you could even start any app or browser, then another 15 mins before typing into a browser   He called and since I backed up all my files on the cloud ☁️ I went with the cheaper option for him to reformat the hard drive and install Windows 11 on it again.

Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 22 to Aug 2)

Hello GA'ers  Or would that be GA'yers  I like GA'ers better   So thank the unusual weather here in my neck of the woods. I got woken up by a thunderstorm and have kind of been watching the lighting storm lighting up the bedroom. Whilst doing so, I said to myself, 'Self, did you do the Wrap Up last night before bed?' I knew I had not, so here I am at 3:15 AM wrapping things up   I was out to a smaller town called Golden, BC the past few days. Took two my my nephews to the highest suspe

Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 13 - Jul. 19)

Sadly I think it is happening  I think my desktop is coming to a end of its lifespan. Two days ago, it started doing a split screen of webpages on its own. No, this was not my double vision . Then I lost sound. Then finally it was on, but nothing on the monitor  I turned it off for a day and tried to use my iPad in its place and that seemed to just piss me off 😜 I like to type with a full keyboard and screen(s) personally.  This evening I gave it one more try. Turned it on, let it go throug

Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 29 - Jul. 05)

It was a party of North America the past week  Well, we have to wait for Mexico in September. Yes, Canada threw a party on Tuesday and the US of A had one on Friday. I have to admit, a Friday one sounds better  It was a weird work week. Work Monday, off Tuesday, and then back Wednesday to Friday. I woke up this morning thinking I had to go to work. Didn't take that long to get my head screwed on right and headed back to bed at 6 AM   So I had a hotdog to celebrate America's birthday y

Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 22 - Jun. 28)

Wow, if I mess this up, it is all my fault. The past couple of weeks, I seem to be seeing double whenever I'm looking at a screen for more than an hour . I need to book an appointment with my optometrist and see if my eye sight has changed. I've worn glasses/contacts all my life, and believe it or not, over the past 5-6 years, my eyes keep getting better 😮 I'm told it has to do with controlling my blood sugar the best I have in 53 years . Thank gosh for insulin pumps. Enough of my sob story

Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 8 - Jun. 14)

Howdy   No, not Stampede yet, but can't say howdy without the cowboy emoji   I kind of had a blah week the past week  for me. Wasn't bad, wasn't good, but we will take it. The alternative isn't so great🪦. Sunday through Thursday it was hot and dry and you couldn't see down the street due to the smoke from all the wildfires burning across the north of Canada👨‍🚒. I haven't really looked at the US of A, but I imagine they aren't too different. I heard that there is even some some smoke fl

Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 1 - Jun. 6)

I was doing up our Weekly Update this week and noticed I had a long hard slog ahead of me to recap all the blogs   Then I got thinking about my preamble and thinking I should do an equal long and labourious one.  So get ready, here we go. How was everybody's past week?      Let's check what happened in the past week on the GA News Blog. Tuesday was the start of the week with a Deep Dive into the deepest part of our imaginations:   Friday, Val was in with a cou

Weekly Wrap Up (May 25 - May 31)

There goes another month in the books! Can you believe you all have less than 7 months to get my Christmas Present mailed to me ? Unfortunately there might be another Canada Post strike here, so the sooner you get it in the mail, the better chance it will arrive here. This year ! I also can't believe it is still bright out at 9:40 PM my time. Dusk is like at 10:30 PM   What all did you get up to this past month, the sort of, kind of, transition month, from spring to summer? I managed t

Weekly Wrap Up (May 18 - May 24)

I was thinking how it is funny how things have changed over the years here at GA. A certain author I know found a movie called Riley and she may have a story called Ridley and she was wondering if maybe someone took her story and made a screenplay out of it, and made the movie for profit . So being the dedicated friend that I am, I rented the movie to see the similarities. Just an FYI, this is my opinion only, not to be taken as fact. Three similarities: Both the movie and her story

Weekly Wrap Up (May 11 to May 17)

I have a weekend off from anything so I'm actually here  Thanks again to Cia to helping out the past couple of weeks.  You know what? I'm at a loss for words this week. No, I'm not drunk and/or incapacitated.  We are in our annual Victoria Day weekend in Canada, so they means we get rain and snow. No snow this year though. I decided to start on a plumbing project in my shower, and I bought some new apparatuses and thought today would be a good day to get them installed. When I bou
