Wow! Big temperature shift in the past week! We are expecting a high of 10C with highs of 17C on Friday. Time to start my tomato seeds indoors. ...

@jerseygirl I guess how you wear your jeans would be a personal preference. My ostomy is a few inches south of my waistband, so I wear regular jeans (...

@jerseygirl I hope that your ostomy surgery went well, and that you’re recovering. Having ostomy surgery is daunting, both physically and emotionally,...

@tony-h Well I am back in the land of ice and snow.🥶 I am shocked at the height of some of the snowdrifts and piles in parking lots. I guess i...

@veganostomy It’s 14C here at the moment; on the way to 17C this afternoon, and sunny. I have been emailing John to tell him how much he is appreci...

@veganostomy I can handle winter until January, then I want it to disappear. It’s pretty until I’m sick of it, and then it gets brown and slushy and n...

@tony-h Gorgeous puppy, Tony. Laurie

Great list, Eric! I had no idea about so many of these companies. Thanks for this! Laurie

@john68 John, first, I want to thank you for your courage in coming on this site to update us. It must have been so difficult for you to write this. L...

@dlkfiretruck Hi Linda, thanks for your suggestion. My problem isn’t so much what I’m drinking, it’s remembering to drink when I’m not thirsty. I ofte...

@veganostomy I’m sorry to hear about the snow coming this weekend. You’re right - almost spring, and the days are getting longer. I won’t tell you how...

@veganostomy I’m very sorry to hear that Eric, but you’ll hate me when I tell you that it’s been a lovely sunny 16C in Evora (east of Lisbon) today. A...

We left Toronto last night in a blizzard and -13C; arrived in Lisbon in a rainstorm and high winds, but 15C. Aaahhhh…..feels so much warmer than home...

@tony-h I agree about growing your own food being rewarding. I had a bumper crop of tomatoes this year, so I made a lot of tomato sauce. I get giddy e...

@veganostomy I heard from John a couple of days ago. He had a full body scan last week that took an hour; he’s waiting for a meeting at the hospital i...

@chelly Hang in there, Chelly. I know it’s frustrating. I hope you can speak to your regular doctor to try to get some answers. We’re all wishing you ...

@tony-h So glad to hear you’re okay, Tony. The reports I’m seeing online are showing a lot of downed trees and cancelled flights and ferries. Not wors...
