Wieners were hidden under duvet all morning whilst I washed bed linen after 001 vomited all over my bed at midnight……. Are your dogs sometimes like my cats? Do they become afraid of their own vomiting and run while they do it, so that you're not cleaning a single spot of partially digested pet food, but a long, panicked, chaotic, line of it? No? Just mine, huh? That's great. 2 3

Popular Post Cane23 Posted January 23 Popular Post Posted January 23 Just wanted to share a classic Balkan joke we’ve had for years - a diary of an immigrant trying to survive life in Canada 😄 All in good fun - no hard feelings. A Bosnian in Canada – FULL VERSION August 12 We moved into our new house in Canada. I’m so excited. It’s so beautiful here. The mountains are breathtaking. I can’t wait to see them covered in snow. October 14 Canada. It’s the most beautiful country in the world. The leaves have turned all those wonderful shades of yellow and orange. I drove through nature and saw a couple of deer. They are so graceful. The most beautiful animals in the world. This must be paradise. I love Canada. November 11 Remembrance Day (Canadian national holiday). Deer hunting season will start soon. I can’t imagine how anyone could kill such a beautiful animal. I hope it snows soon. It’s so lovely. December 2 It snowed for the first time last night. I woke up and saw everything covered in a white blanket. It looks like the most beautiful postcard. We went outside, cleaned the steps and the driveway, and then had a snowball fight (I won). When the snowplow passed, we had to clean the entrance again. What a wonderful country. I love Canada. December 12 It snowed again last night. The snowplow came again and buried the entrance. It’s beautiful here. December 19 It snowed again last night. I couldn’t take the car to work. It really is wonderful here, I’m just a bit tired of shoveling. That fuc*ing snowplow again. December 22 This white s*it kept falling all night again. I got blisters from shoveling and my back hurts. That monkey in the snowplow seems to hide around the corner and waits for me to clean the entrance before dumping everything back. A***ole. December 25 Merry fing sty Christmas. More fing snow. If I ever get my hands on the guy driving the snowplow, I’ll kill him. F their mothers for not spreading more salt on the roads so this stuff would melt faster. December 27 Snow again last night. I haven’t left the house for three days except to shovel every time the snowplow passes. I can’t go anywhere, the car is stuck on the hill, snow in front of the entrance, and it’s freezing. They say another 30 cm of this sh*t will fall tonight. December 28 The forecast was wrong. Half a meter fell. If this keeps up, it won’t melt until summer. The snowplow got stuck and that aole came to my place asking for a shovel. I told him I already broke six shovels clearing the s he dumped in front of my gate, and I almost broke one over his head. January 4 Finally got out of the house. Went to the store to buy some food and on the way back hit a deer with the car. $3000 damage. Those f***ing beasts should all be killed. They’re everywhere. Why didn’t the hunters kill them all in the fall… May 3 Took the car to the mechanic. Unbelievable how rusted it is from the f***ing salt they spread everywhere. May 10 I’m moving to Florida. I can’t imagine how any normal person can live in this f***ing Canada. 2 7

Gary L Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) Okay, the wieners and I are leaving home! Driven out by the smell of pigs’ trotter being cooked in a pressure cooker I will never use again….. someone is cooking his birthday dinner treat for tomorrow. I’m doing fillet steak in mushroom sauce for me and a guest who also thinks trotters are unthinkable……. Edited January 23 by Gary L 2 1
Popular Post Kitt Posted January 23 Popular Post Posted January 23 I give up! Got all the doc's back on track after the insurance debacle. ( Never did get a reason it was cancelled). Back in December Doc ordered a wound vac, a contraption designed to collect any bleeding/seepage and improve circulation to the area, speeding healing. By the time it finally got delivered we were in the gap that the office canceled appointments because of the insurance shit. So, today he was supposed to have the vac put on, and arrangements for those LOVELY home nurses to come tend to it 3x a week be made. Doc looks at his foot today, pronounced it healing nicely and at least a month ahead of where he thought we would be, send the contraption back. OK, so I call and verify the instructions for return, and am pleasantly surprised to find that because we never even plugged the silly thing in, they are canceling the order and there will be no charge. GREAT! Five min later, I get a call asking to verify insurance info so the vac peeps can bill insurance. "Umm, Ms Jones in returns (fictitious name of course) just told me they were canceling the whole order, return it no charge." Don't these peeps talk to each other??? On a good note, *Groceries including comfort food and snacks. DONE *Generator fueled and run for a bit, ready to plug in if power dumps. DONE *Snow blowers (2) fueled and parked by each door. DONE *Horse's blanket on with a spare in case of wet or to layer if it gets super cold DONE *All obstacles to clearing snow out of the way. DONE So, since we are ready for the storm to do it's damnedest, I expect to get nothing! I still plan to pull the quilt over my head and hide from the bubble headed boobies on the roads. After dropping this contraption @ the UPS store to go back, the next time I venture out will be Monday for my chiropractic apt. Although if we actually get the foot of snow they are threatening, I expect a call to reschedule that! 3 3

Haha, that was great, thanks for writing all of that out! Where we live there are no mountains, sadly. I read in a tourist pamphlet once that Canadians spend a lot of time indoors because it's too hot in summer and too cold in winter. I used to ask people who move here from warm places, why? Why would you come to freezing winters and boiling summers? I guess there's more than weather. lol. 3
Mikiesboy Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Happy Saturday. Today i have green peppers to chop up and freeze, cuz i used up my previous supply. I'm going to make Shepard's Pie for dinner ... it's my family recipe and my fav comfort food. Michael loves it too. Not sure what else i may do. I am working on a story idea for the Anthology and thinking about an ending for a story that's at 25k words. If you're somewhere cold, make sure you keep warm and dress smartly if heading outside. I have zero plans to go out over the next few days. We've been warned there maybe exploding trees. That's not as exciting as it sounds, but it's loud. 5

We have 2 generators to keep the heat and refrigeration running. My plan for the storm is to hide under my quilt from all the bubble headed boobies on the roads! They started acting the fool two days ago and will only get worse once the storm actually starts. 5
