Here are a few of my favorite online haunts:
REALTOR.ca
[This is the site I visit to fantasize about
living in Toronto again, which is almost
every single
day during the winter]
Jonathan Cainer's Zodiac Forecasts
[This is where I visit in the morning, when
I need a positive spin on things past, present
and future.]
Living Local
[This is where I go to see what Canadians
are up to, sometimes I even buy things from
the businesses listed there.]
Environment Canada Weather
[This is the site I visit every morning,
and before every road trip during the winter]

I'm writing from the waiting room of the
Toyota dealership. My new car's accelerator
pedal is being updated, and the oil
is being changed. I am glad I bought
a new Toyota. Although I am none too
impressed with their upper management,
from where
I sit in this customer waiting room,
the experience is a positive one. Our
older car is a Toyota, a 1998 model
and still reliable and going strong.
I've been to see my doctor, and the
results of my tests all indicate good
overall health. No problems
with my internal organs or blood work.
I'll continue with the medication, to
relieve
the stomach pain,
for another month or so. Then, if all
is well, I will forget about the stomach
issue. If the pain persists, I'll be
back at
the doctor's office until I know what
is going on. I anticipate that all will
be well and I'll simply forget about
the whole thing. That is good news.
The roads were snow packed last night,
and again this morning. Of course I
was out there driving last night and
this morning! However, apart from poor
visibility, the ride was tranquil. There
were no other fools on the road last
night, which made that journey an
easy one. The other factor, making for
a relaxed trip, is that the new car
is much heavier and larger than
our older Toyota. The new car handles
inclement weather and bad roads with
ease.
After talking to Harriet, who successfully
cuts her own hair, I took the scissors
to my own mop. The results are in, I
am now officially banning myself from
cutting my own hair, or anyone else's
hair! The results were absurd. So,
yesterday
I
visited a hairdresser who corrected
the problem and then some. I had a good
time, she told me the story of her life
while she was cutting my hair, and she
has not lead a boring life. We also
had a good laugh over my do-it-yourself
"do", it really was funny. Sorry no
pictures, it was a sight best forgotten.

Here are my feet, looking good in their new
outfit! These slippers were on sale, feature
memory foam soles. They are warm as toast
and are a true "fashion find"!
Why is it that men's clothing and footwear
is functional and comfortable, while women's
clothing and footwear are not?
