    The newest addition to our family

    I can't believe you are a great grandma! I do like your emphasis on the great part though. Less than 2 months until I enter the world of being a grandma, although my kids are old enough, so it is expected at my age. I already know it is a boy so I am pretty excited to meet the little fella...

    Do you ever get the feeling like fate thinks it's funny to toy with you?

    I used to encounter spirits in every house I lived, and they behaved differently in each house so I wasn't just being followed when I moved. I have wayyyyy too many stories that can't be explained away as my imagination. They were never really scary (my cats didn't agree with that though) but...

    Coronavirus

    It has been one wave after another with stressful events in our family (including parents and siblings) for the last half year, that the world is starting to feel quite ominous. I keep wondering what is next. I really hope that the tide starts turning in our favor now because we are due some...

    Coronavirus

    My daughter recently got over covid and i was concerned I might also get it since I was with her all day on her sickest day. I assumed she was feeling off due to being pregnant and under a lot of stress and I didn't even consider it could be covid. Fortunately it has been 2 weeks now and i...

    Coronavirus

    I am thinking since it is a refill happening, that the pitcher rim is touching the glass where people's mouths have touched.....then the pitcher would move on to the next glass, potentially spreading the germs from glass to glass which goes directly to a person's mouth. Definitely not hygienic!

    Coronavirus

    My husband and both our kids also carry the Alpha1 anti trypsin deficiency gene as well, so that has been a large concern for us as well. My kids are both fully vaccinated but they work in care homes around covid positive people, so I still worry about break through cases for them. I hope that...

    Coronavirus

    You are absolutely correct! This is not the time to be coming here on vacation as we need any space we have available (hotels, etc) to house those displaced by the fires, and of course we don't want people potentially spreading covid. Everyone should stay in their own regions. My husband and...

    Coronavirus

    @Misschief Did you hear that Kelowna alone is getting between 100-150 cases diagnosed daily? Our vaccination rates have been lower than the provincial average, but they are now picking up thankfully. I am more than a little frustrated with some of the Albertan vacationers. Not only for...

    Coronavirus

    I only wish we had low numbers like NZ! Our health region is not doing too well, and I am pretty sure our city is the epicenter of Canada's current covid cases. The central Okanagan, where I, and @Misschief live, had 922 cases from Aug 8 to the 14th, and numbers have only risen from there but...

    Coronavirus

    We have very vocal opponents to wearing masks here in Canada as well. I find it ridiculous that people can get so bent out of shape about wearing a mask, like it is some great hardship that is stripping them of their full rights without considering the rights of those who are at a greater risk...

    Coronavirus

    Actually, they DO have the ability to test for the different strains using the sample on the PCR test. If the sample is positive, it will then go through genomic sequencing to determine the variant. It isn't just a political ploy.

    Coronavirus

    So my husband's co worker did test positive, but fortunately my husband is negative! Phew! That was a big relief but I was pretty confident that he would be negative as neither of us have felt anything coming on, and it has been now a week since the exposure.

    Coronavirus

    We live in Canada, and as far as I know, we don't have a for purchase covid test here. I appreciate the idea though, and wish we had the same resources here. @Misschief I called it on masks being required again for Kelowna. I just don't know how they will enforce it with restaurants and...

    Coronavirus

    It is very frustrating! We are only vaccinated once so far but I am hoping that his co worker just didn't have it then. He better be tested before he comes back to work as well. Nick was asked if he would mind if the co worker worked nights so that they weren't around one another. I am...
