Seraphim Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Tomorrow hubby has the day off and is going down to do his mother’s groceries. Hopefully, the storm isn’t too bad . We keep waiting for a real winter this year but I doubt it will materialize. It is a strong El Niño year, usually means very little winter . Link to comment
Seraphim Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Why in God’s name did I do this to myself? I ate some nuts on Monday. Today was no Bueno. After getting the kiddos on the bus, I have been in the bathroom half the day and the other half laying on the heating pad. I just took an Imodium to hopefully slow things down. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 They said Toronto has the third worst traffic on the planet. It takes 40 mins to go 10 blocks . Link to comment
boltnrun Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 When I used to work in the city it would take me 15 minutes to go 3/4 of a mile on the freeway. It was supremely frustrating. I could have easily walked that distance faster. Link to comment

Around 8:30am Unfortunately my total commute was over 20 miles. But that one section of the freeway was always a crap show. 1 1 Link to comment

We are going to be -17 tomorrow and out in Alberta I think they are the coldest place on Earth this week. -50C or colder with the wind. We are the second coldest nation on Earth after Russia . We have a big Arctic Polar Vortex happening . 1 Link to comment
boltnrun Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Apparently -5 F is -15 C. We Americans are so resistant to the "metric" system. It's ridiculous and causes all sorts of confusion. Link to comment

boltnrun Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 That's too bad. I used to post in another forum that had a sub forum for people who suffer from bowel disorders (like me!) I got so much support and some really great information. And I was able to help others as well. I don't post on that forum anymore because although it was supposed to be an advice forum they made it an infraction to actually offer advice. But that was a great group. I too would find it off-putting to see graphic photos or descriptions. Don't need that. 2 Link to comment

Having diabetes does that to me any way but I think having the issue in my feed all the time might be overwhelming, and especially pictures of those poor people having severe problems. 😬😢 Link to comment

Seraphim Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 We went to a protest today in Toronto. Man , it was eye watering cold after an hour in -17C with the windchill with the wind blasting in your face . Lucky it was sunny. Back home it is a white out with road closures so we have to get home . 1 Link to comment
