@Jdavis_Halton People with dementia are literally not in their right mind. I know from sad ongoing experience x2. They do not understand what they are doing and often have no memory of what they have said or done - good or bad - from one minute to another.

This story breaks my heart. What the hell were the police thinking? For the love of god… get educated on the devastating effects of dementia. Compassion, understanding and common sense are needed. #dementia ctvnews.ca/toronto/articl…

@TheAthletic @TheAthleticNHL @NHL @WayneGretzky No. 1 is up for a spirited debate but the correct answer is Orr followed by Gretzky and Lemieux. Orr was as dynamic on offence as 99 & 66 but also played defence superbly, blocked shots, bodychecked & fought. Gretzky & Lemieux weren’t physical or defensive. Orr had bad knees too.

Since October, The Athletic has been counting down the top 100 NHL players of the post-expansion era. No. 1 was never in doubt. This is the #NHL99 ⤵️

@DaleMURDYCH Hi, Dale. It's Tim Whitnell. I believe your father is George. I was his childhood/teen friend. All my contact info. for him is invalid. It's important I talk to him. I'd appreciate it if you'd let him know ASAP. I can provide my cell # if he wants to call me. Thanks

... like breast cancer. The receptionist has no idea about my history and no idea that her dismissive attitude reduced me to a flood of tears. Fortunately, my family doc found another surgeon. The wait is six weeks. I’ll take it. #Kindness #Cancer

I have a hard painful lump on my wrist. It impedes how I use my hand. The fingers are stiff and swollen because of an AI drug I take for breast cancer. Called plastic surgeon’s office to ask about wait time. Told at least 6 months because they have more important things to do ...

@dethstrok9 Daniel, I live in Mississauga, 6th-largest city in Canada, west of Toronto. Lesser known 1970s/80s acts from or popular in this area you should check out: Max Webster (High Class In Borrowed Shoes LP), Saga (Worlds Apart LP) & The Kings (This Beat Goes On/Switchin To Glide song).

@dethstrok9 Hi, Daniel. Thanks for looking at my comments on your reaction to Alice's Restaurant. I admire your willingness to experience 'old' music. I'm jealous you get to hear all this great stuff from 1960s, '70s & '80s for the first time. I'm rediscovering some of it myself!

@MagicalOverload Ask some black or native people, some women of any colour, many with disabilities, some ethnic & religious minorities, some youth, the homeless & poor & they’ll tell you they’ve gone part, most or all of their lives without power of choice, freedom or self-determination. Peace.

I see that Humber River’s first baby of the new year is named Thomas Vu. The parents missed an opportunity to name the little guy Déjà. Then, when he is older, someone who meets him might say, ‘Hey, I know you, Deja Vu. Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?

Yesterday a repair man came to my house, refused to wear a mask and informed me #COVID19 is not real. I did not let him in and called his company to let his manager know why they needed to send someone new. Does this make me the Karen in this? For calling the manager? #WearAMask

@jannarden Jann, I’ve never liked brussel sprouts but now that I serve at the altar of the air fryer, brussel sprouts, like almost everything that comes out of an air fryer, tastes so good because it is essentially grilled. If I can try them, and even like them, so can you.

Eddie Van Halen is gone. OMG. VH was THE hard rock group of my teen years in the late 70s. He instantly became my favourite guitarist. There is going to be an Eruption of Little Guitars as they Dance The Night Away in Rock N Roll Heaven tonight. RIP and rip it up upstairs, Eddie.

@ErinMartinGenSx I have heard so many times from pts asking if I am really a dr since I am a woman. Many have refused my service. I once would recommend my male partner. Then I got pissed and told them to find another practice. I was tired of fighting pts due to my gender.
