    Anyone else have a friend or friends that lives their life on line? and can't adjust to being out in the world...

    Full disclosure...there are times that I have struggled with anxiety because there were so many real things in my life to be anxious about. Sometimes I retreated to my online world...which usually included one game or another...because that was the only way I could shut it off. And while I do...

    Chauvin Verdict In

    Totally. It's probably one of those situations where you try to imagine what it would be like, but you never come close to what it actually feels like.

    Chauvin Verdict In

    Indigenous parents do the same, but in Canada just as in the US, indigenous people are most likely to be killed by police officers. But nobody should have to worry about that -- the police should just be doing their job (and not the judge's job, or the executioner's job). Community policing...

    haha I forgot about that.

    Chauvin Verdict In

    . Agreed. It was almost an easy case because it was so obvious, even for someone in another country where laws are different. but today I watched a video of a 73 year old grandmother with dementia have her arm broken and shoulder dislocated by a police officer because of suspicion of...

    Chauvin Verdict In

    We have concurrent sentencing in Canada -- but if there are more charges it makes a big difference in sentencing and a huge difference when trying to get probation. Personally, I think the fact that Chauvin is a police officer is going to make the biggest difference in his sentence.

    Chauvin Verdict In

    Gotcha. In Canada, jurors aren't supposed to watch TV or use the internet at all during trials. They can't talk to anyone about the trial, even family. People take this rule quite seriously -- I've been a juror and basically all we talked about was the fact that lunch wasn't included.

    First tattoo, age of DS, DD?

    No, I think she just realized I was right in saying that whatever design she picked today might not be the one she wants forever. I know her -- I was the one who repainted her room 3 times in the last 10 years and wall colour is much easier to change than a tattoo. :rotfl2: She is like this...

    Chauvin Verdict In

    I missed a lot of what was said in the past few days, but I will point out the jury was sequestered so they would not have heard anything that went on outside the trial. Life is complicated, but I'm happy they held a police officer accountable for not upholding his duty at the very least. Two...

    yes, some of them do, some of them have more tattoos.

    Prince Philip has died

    I was kind of hoping that since she will likely be the longest reigning monarch, and he was the longest reigning consort, that they would do something like Richard the Lionheart and his wife, side by side effigies. I don't think that is something the Queen would plan for but it might be down...

    Prince Philip has died

    Very sad. but unfortunately a lot of widows around the world have been in the same position in the past year.

    Prince Philip has died

    Agreed. He never actually had a home until he was married. He was sent away to schools and he lived with other families, but he really grew up without either of his parents. But that probably made him more aware of how kids need someone they can ask for advice and accomplishments they can be...

    Prince Philip has died

    Agreed. the ship needs an experienced captain with all of the storms ahead. I do think Charles will have more diplomatic duties and may assist with constitutional issues but hers will be the last say in whether she grants assent to any law.

    Prince Philip has died

    I wouldn't be so sure about that (the underlined) -- at least it's not the case in Nova Scotia. My neighbour was 96 when she had surgery -- basically it was a choice between giving her a chance and certain death. She made it through the surgery ok. From what I've read, Prince Philip was in a...

    Prince Philip has died

    The plan was for her to more or less step down after her 95th birthday...but she may change her mind now that she will be mostly alone. Or she may find it to hard to carry on royal duties without him there for balance. Overheard in Canada when the the Queen was nervous before giving a speech...

    Those Partially Vaccinated for Covid...

    Go go go Ontario! You can do it! We got 6 cases since Saturday in Nova Scotia, all travelers and their contacts. Although seriously if my husband came home and might have covid, I would stick him in the basement for 2 weeks. These close contacts really take chances. Yes I can only imagine...

    Tell us your dull and unexciting news

    haha the tiaras were in my recommended...probably because I'm sometimes picking out my perfect princess dress. Because princesses can wear big dresses and expensive tiaras any day. Or at least they could back when they lived in castles.

    First tattoo, age of DS, DD?

    I actually have no idea...so then I looked up the US Army and they basically have the same regs we used to have (can't be seen while in full uniform)

    Tell us your dull and unexciting news

    I looked at pictures of famous tiaras on my phone while on hold.
