Hacks https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/hacks/s01 I watched both seasons and I have to admit, there were many touching moments that really had me in tears. Jean Smart is awesome in this tour de force. She plays a female comedian who is pushed out of her Vegas show so that younger talent could...

Cheeseburger pizza? That sounds interesting. Can you post a recipe? Thanks

Same here. Really looked forward to Ozarks and was disappointed, especially the last episode. Too rushed. Ah well....it was a great series but lost some focus. Glad for the great acting by all involved. We absolutely love BCS. Waiting for hockey to end. I live in Edmonton and our hockey...

Hello. First of all...congratulations on your future engagement. Your future fiance sounds like a nice woman. Some people go shopping for a ring together. That way, you both can see what would look good on her hand. Three months salary for a 25 year old man and an older man is probably...

Canada post Hi Everyone. I live in Edmonton, Canada but my husband and I travel to Vancouver Island for our summer holidays. About 10 years ago we went to Coombs market, where they still have goats on the roof. https://oldcountrymarket.com/ It is quite the landmark and has many local...

Darn...I am in Canada and Netflix does not have it. But thanks for the heads up..so I;ll be watching for it.

I hope you try making borscht in the late summer when everything is ready from the garden. My father used to use pork ribs (boiled once, rinsed then boiled to make the stock) along with onions, carrots, potatoes, peas, dill, of course beets.....and at the end some beet leaves to give it that...

About 15 years ago we bought a 1 bedroom timeshare in Banff. We are there every year...sometimes our week falls on Christmas but it is mostly New Years. We have been here since Sunday and the weather has been beautiful. We bought a nice steak, mushrooms and will make baked potatoes and a...

My mother was an excellent seamstress. She learned from my grandmother. I grew up with a sewing machine and learned to sew at a young age. I even took fashion studies in highschool and tailored my own coat in grade 12. But I did not have the fine touch my mother had. When I was in...

I think they will lose that house and be living in an apartment for many years. Hard lesson for them to learn. So either they cut their spending or someone will do it for them.

My parents were immigrants from Ukraine after World War II. I remember my father urging me to buy a house when I was still a university student. He had two rental properties and felt real estate was the key to a secure life...along with a good education. I did not want to buy a house because...

Crisp Oh...please don't forget this oldie but goodie. Rhubarb crisp with oatmeal and vanilla icecream. Such a nice treat and healthy too!!!! Ok...maybe not totally healthy but so good.

I am laughing at the idea of fish soup. I am glad you tried it before me!!! But I love rhubarb. We live in Edmonton and actually had snow last week. All gone now. Our lawn is full of dandelions!!! So I dug some out of the flowerbeds and my husband and I mowed the lawn to catch them before...

Alanon First of all, I am so sorry that your son has fallen into the disease of alcoholism. I first went to Alanon because my husband, who I love very much, became an alcoholic late in life. I could not believe it. Alcohol was in our lives but never to a great deal. I myself did not really...

Canadian here That was a scary time for me and my husband. He had been retired for many years but I was still working. It was getting pretty stressful at work and I was thinking of retiring but still not quite ready to make the leap. Boy, in 2009 I was so glad I did not leave my job at 56...

Retired...sort of I am 67 and had been working part time the last 8 years. Half time. Retired two years ago to take my pension and Canada Pension Plan. Do very limited substitute teaching. It took me a year to readjust myself to retirement. I never wanted to leave teaching but the...

About 8 years before retirement I had finally had enough. I actually blew up very publically at my boss and stormed out of a meeting. It was just before my holidays and I stewed the whole time. Actually, I was ashamed of my behavior. Yes, he deserved it...but I was the one who had lost...

Good for you I remember going to the bank and making the last mortgage payment. No champagne, no balloons, just stamp the check and a thank you from the teller. This process is a give away to an old school lifestyle 30 years ago. :)To tell the truth, I did not know what to expect but it was...

Interesting post My parents were immigrants who came to Canada, worked hard and tried to be fair to everyone. I have two younger brothers. Both of them struggled with addiction issues all their lives. I took a different path, worked since I was 16, went to university, married a hardworking...

For the last couple of years....my employer asked me what my dream job was in a standard form letter. And I kept replying what I did this year....I am working my dream job. .My job changes a bit each year...just enough to make it interesting. But the only reason each year is so good........I...

sounds like this could be the problem

We summer on the island Hi. We live in Edmonton and spend 2 weeks on the island...have been coming for 12 years. Talking to the locals.....many who can afford to and are retired...escape to Mexico or Arizona for the winters. The place we stay at (one of them) is so beautiful....it is called...

Hello. Sorry for the pain you are going through but good for you that you have put it all out there for us to see and hopefully offer you words of wisdom that you can use. I was where you were 8 years ago. I went on a holiday with my husband and was so zoned out...not on drugs....but I was in...

I like this forum Thanks to those who liked my story...one of the questions was why post here? Well....I have been a member here since around 2007. Since I was thinking about retiring I wanted to explore the ideas found here. Even though I chose to continue working....can I not early retire...

Everyone has a story I don't think there is one way of doing this....I have listened to a lot of people talk about retirement and I believe it is different for every person. Many of my colleagues were retiring at 56-57 and told me they could not wait to leave...the working world was changing...
