On Flanders Field - Armistice Day 2023
Nov. 11th, 2023 08:37 am
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
- John Maccrae
Dear lawd....
Nov. 9th, 2023 04:06 pmWell, today was an interesting day. I do believe I got something done however. Tangerine pinpointed where the suspicious activity on my card and stopped it. I am getting a new card with a new pin soon. Thank whomever...
Now I am just hot and tired... and I need a nap, but it's too late in the day for one and I need to take my insulin at 4:45pm.
I am having chicken wraps with rice for supper... I have some pictures that I took with the DSi camera on my 3DS XL. It sounds complicated but... here. Basically, it is the DSi camera on a 3DS... for those nostalgic for that, and tbh, I prefer the DSi camera over the 3DS camera. I'm weird like that. I will put the pictures on my PF.
Well.. I'm exhausted. I defo need sleep. But, gotta have something to eat and then meds.. believe me, if I could crash right now, I'd do it.
I went out for a walk with my girls and the weather was a complete opposite of yesterday, warm-ish, sunny, no ice, I'm like wtf?! But that is fine.
Gaming wise, not much is new... I tried Maplestory but, I didn't like it... and I am getting Pokemon X as I write this.
I will play the Sims tomorrow. I don't have much gas in me... that I will post on my PF too.
Sammy
Oh, and we are going to take Bees out again... maybe this time to Zucca's or the fish and chip shop?

Got me jabs...
Nov. 8th, 2023 04:53 pm All in the same arm too. Ow... well, I couldn't very well take them in the other arm as it has a sensor on it -- the Libre 2, y'know????
Right now I'm listening to one of my favorite Canadian musicians - Bruce Cockburn.
So, as I said last entry, we are getting the ice storm.. hey,
armiphlage get home safely and I hope your partner gets home safely or are already home. He lives about a 15 min car ride from me. :-) On Prospect, I live on Arden... Prospect is near Southlake Regional health centre, (a euphemism for our local COVID ridden hospital) and I am more near the old downtown core?
Shit it really is coming down... what are y'all willing to bet that there will be snow on the ground tomorrow? Dollars to donuts, that's what! lol...
Gosh my arm hurts.... and I've got a slight headache... that's all. But I am protected, and I am also protecting others by getting the jab.
Anyways, I am going to maybe play the Sims until dinner which should be soon.

Heyyyy....
Nov. 7th, 2023 04:21 pm Well, Ol' Man Winter is coming with a vengeance to my sleepy town of Newmarket... in the form of an ice storm tomorrow.... joy. Although, I will take that over the oppressive heat anyday. Ha. I am a curious sort. I like the winter weather... I am an anomaly I reckon, cos everyone bitches about the cold, and not so much the heat. I hear a jingling noise. I must be going mad. Oy. It sounds like a cat bell, something you would put on a cat so it doesn't get underfoot much?
I have to get 3 dang shots tomorrow, just call me pincushion Sam. I'm getting a B12 thing, a COVID-19 shot and the flu jab all in one day. Also joy. :-P
But, what needs to be done, shall, right????
Golly I will be a miserable bitch tomorrow lol!!!!!
And those in the back fermez-la!
My rabbit Leo really loves his bananas. He usually will get apples and bananas sliced up in the morning, but he disdains the apples and goes straight for the sweets. lol...
So my peepz, what's new??? I'm kind of waiting on Dave-Dave to get over here to start our monthly house meeting... but he ain't here.... gxd only knows where he is though. Ehh.... watch! He will come round dinnertime. That is what he always does. lol....
Anyways, I need to get my phone back asap, it is still at the shop.

Hey people!!! *falls over*
Nov. 4th, 2023 06:07 pm I am still reeling from Matthew Perry's death. Too fucking young. 54, is nearly my age. (I will be 50 in July) I was just gob smacked it was made a very big deal over here as he was half Canadian, and we take our countrymen/women very seriously... and when one kicks the bucket, we make a big deal. And for me, the death of my favorite Friend? Right where it hurts. I remember going googly eyed whenever Friends came on... now I'm just going to bawl my eyes out.
Otherwise in life, tis MUCH better. It was just very chaotic for awhile but now it has more or less settled down. I owe Joe, Judy and CDayzee a Happy Belated Birthday!!! *wraps arms around laptop* HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to

cdayzee !!
I had a very nice Samhain, maybe that is what got me in such a good mood?? We had a fair amount of trick or treaters... I still haven't the heart to say 'Trick' bc a) this is an age where things are wayyy different than to when I was a child, and b) I like seeing the little faces light up as they come to get candy. We had tootsie rolls, lollies, and Rockets which are a local candy. I don't particularly like them, but when I was a girl, my friends and I would call them 'pills'... oh my hell... was that ever bad?! Now it seems bad, but back then, nope. Not really.. we saw nothing wrong (other than the chalky texture) with our 'pills'.
What was your go to candy when you were younger? I also got stuck with the insanely tough to eat toffee candies in the festive orange white and black wrappers, you know the ones I mean right?? I had good teeth back then. Still do... minus a few lol...
Speaking of toffee does anyone on my flist that is Canadian remember the really really hard toffee candy that you literally had to whack it on the floor...?? Mackenzie toffee, methinks?? Gosh was that ever fucking hard to eat but yum yum yum!!! To this day, I still prefer the mini bags of crisps that you can now get in a bigger bag for like $4 at No Frills nowadays... I love me some crisps. :D :D :D
I am despite Matt's death, in a very good mood.... as you may or may not see. Maybe I'm in a manic mode after such a long dreadful despondant mood eh??
Like a bloody rollercoaster bipolar is.. tbh.
Gaming wise, I have found my second niche. I like casual RPG like Pokemon and Animal Crossing, but I also enjoy Tekken and Street Fighter. Not because they incite violent feelings, but the sheer talent that some Tekken chars have, like Roger Jr., Jin, Eddie Gordo, and of course Chun-Li. :) (Chun-Li from SF has quite a lot of cosplayers lol) I am still obsessed with Tomodachi Life, and yes, I have tried the odd Asian version Tomodachi Collection on the emulator on my phone/tablet. I'd like to say that I like it but it is too fucking weird for me.
Speaking of phones, finally got my Samsung fixed. $130 for a brand new display, charger and case. Pretty good!!
Anyways, I will stfu now.

Gone fishing...
Oct. 27th, 2023 05:48 pm Not literally of course, I have had so much crap put onto my plate, personal wise that, I have decided that I have had it. Not with any of you. I love y'all. Not with this account. I'm still going to post, I just need to collect my thoughts.
Life wise -- I am trying to wrestle with some hefty shit.... financial crap. No worries, though, I'm not that badly off. I just need to get some cash to pay off the stupid internet bill and stupid fucking bank fees. I'm sick of Tangerine. I want to get out of their iron grip and somewhere else, bc I'mma gonna lose it. Also, I'm not happy with my weight loss - or lack thereof. I need to amp up my routine. I have to hit the track and run like the wind, to just lose these ruddy lbs.... or do something... anything.
Gaming wise, I need to get a hold of Nintendo, to access my account, bc I kind of screwed things up yet again. I forgot the email associated with my 'sambuca22' account. All my games are on there but I have a feeling I know the email now... thank whomever!!! Um... I have to check to make sure, but I have a good feeling about this.
I am also playing US/UM. I figured out that I have to also download the patch too. Took me awhile. Ha!! It would crash, and I figured out, JUST NOW, that you need the patch too... I've been under so much stress, I... just blanked out.
TMI I know... but, hey... I crossed it out. lol.. um, I am just playing random shit. I like playing Pokémon bc it's a release you know?? Um, Cooking Mama and all that girly shit.
Um.. baring my soul is rather fragile... ack. :(

A minor setback...
Oct. 24th, 2023 03:30 am I've taken back the Vaio, until January now. It sucks but there isn't a thing I can do.. I'm just glad to have a computer to work with.
But I digress, I haven't been up to much. My baby sister's bday is coming up fast -- Bees. So, we are ordering Pizza Pizza. I am having my usual... a panzo - this time bacon double cheeseburger, and fries and what ever else. This is my monthly splurge so... I may just have garlic toast with cheese... and maybe a dessert for Bees seeing that it's her bday, right??
Gaming wise, still plugging away at different games. Mostly, the Sims and Pokémon. I'm going back to sleep soon, as I am just zonked... but before I go... a little interesting piece.
Zzz... g'night. Sammy

And thus the weekend was ok...
Oct. 16th, 2023 08:32 am Usually J's weekend isn't easy for any of us, but this morning, she was civil... which is a good thing...
I had an uneventful weekend, which is basically how I like it to be. It is a bit colder and damper so my left hip is not happy. Luckily the zombification levels are pretty low even if the spoons aren't... which I'll take any day. I hate being a zombie.... just doesn't sit well with me.
Saturday night was a weird one bc, I woke up at 12am... and stayed up til about 3. But last night was purrfect. No interruptions of sleep or whatevs.
Bees' birthday is coming up... I want to buy her a cake with Liz's help. I think $40 is enough. If it is too much, then, I will ask her to buy me some hair ties.
Gaming wise, I have started downloading some games that I d.on't have. I will stick with Pokemon Sun/Moon bc US/UM are really big files, and I only have a 64 gigger... so... and it keeps giving me errors. Would it be better to have just Moon and Ultra Sun?? I'm not too keen on Moon/Ultra Moon's gimmick, so.. maybe just Sun and Ultra Sun, plus there isn't much of a dif between the games... at least I don't think so. And I have been plugging away at Pokemon Platinum... but I have been at it with B&W and B&W2. Right now I want to just focus on one game.... which would be Sun.. and Platinum. What are your thoughts???
Simming wise, I'm not really into, bc I have to reset this machine to give it to Pinky, so... that means until I get my new computer, will I sim... very much... Pinky's machine is too slow for anything but the Sims 2, and she doesn't game much. She is more into Zoom bible study, and Facebook, and chat and all that.
Doesn't mean I won't sim... ;-)

Just chuggin' along...
Oct. 13th, 2023 04:18 pm Good afternoon. I am just playing the Sims 3 and waiting for dinner, Fish and chips. Typical British fare. Some are having catfish and others Alaskan pollack. I'm having the pollack. I like breaded fish over scaly fish. No offense.
My hip is acting up, like the flexors? Hurts like hell when bad weather is coming. Eh... I just want it to crack or do something to relieve the pain.
In gaming news, I have two Style Savvy games, (the third is janky and won't work for some godless reason... I did format my card to 64 gig ffs) and US/UM and Omega Ruby + Pokemon X and some other stuff like Tomodachi Life and the ilk. I also have that cartridge with like 300 games or whatever on it. :) I never really gave much thought to AC: WW, until I discovered it on there awhile back. It is a funny game. And another thing AC related... you can smack rocks with a shovel and they spit out bells or gems! This, I had no idea about.
Such is life on Friday October 13th. My cheque STILL hasn't arrived. Now they say the 15th. That, my friends is a goddamned Sunday and at last note, I don't think ruddy Canada Post workers did the weekends... or am I wrong??? *looks at Dwight, Sabot and the other Canucks on her flist*
I need a lobotomy. Being smart sometimes does not pay. :( Just putting that out there.
I'm running out of things to say, so I will go back to my game!

My life atm in bullet points!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So, in gaming news, got US/UM, X, Tomodachi Life, and Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby. Now all I need are the Style Savvy games! Wa-hey!
Ugh.
Sammy
- I have to phone Rogers to speak with Daniel. I need to pay off this massive overdraft fee. PAIN. IN. THE.FUCKING.ARSE!!!! But death and taxes and all that... I want to not adult for just one fucking day. I mean it too. No bills, no crap from higher ups, no bs.
- Them, I need to get my arse in gear and hit the Wireless 4 U, to get my Samsung phone fixed.. (I actually spelled fixed as phixed. That tells you that I need sleep and lots of.
- And I have to save money (again almost wrote monkey!!) for the takeaway order.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

That be Leo in my userpic
Oct. 11th, 2023 07:33 pm He is my Flemish Giant rabbit. Love him to bits... he loves me in return. I'm watching Unnatural, a movie about a bloodthirsty, genetically altered polar bear. The movie isn't that scary, very predictable but a good time anyways. Not a lot of action. Eh... I give it about 2 1/2 stars out of 5. I have seen better.
Gaming wise, I had to reformat my XL's SD card... bc it wasn't letting me access the hShop... so, format I did and yes, I'm in the process of getting all my games back.
I have started binge-watching Wednesday again. Gotta love that series. I am on ep 1 of Season 1...
I am going to hit the hay now. Night y'all.

Turkey stewp for supper...
Oct. 9th, 2023 03:57 pm Amalgamated leftovers in otherwords. Ha! It looks to be VERY yummy and VERY filling. Spent the day watching the telly and having coffee with my girls. Tomorrow I am getting about $400 in refunds. Or so the gov says....
We need to ask D our landlord, about the heat. Everyone has an updated heater but us (Julz and I) we just have a bloody baseboard heater with no controls except for a single knob that turns the thing on and off. :(
I think tonight, I'll play the Sims. I have finalized plans. Pinky will inherit the Vaio... and Julz will get the Gateway (Orion) and I will get the Acer Nitro 5 (Kate) I have to clean out everything come the 25th, un-install the Sims 2 & 3 and 4, get the machine ready for Pinky. :) I have to update Julie's computer bc she has 8.1 and I am going to upgrade to Win11, and mine already has Win11.. Bees doesn't want a computer... she has her iPad.
Anyways, I will chat ya up later k??

Thanksgiving dinner...
Oct. 8th, 2023 09:13 pm Open Diary seems to be as fucked up as usual.. so I'll post it here.. Mom forgot the vegetables and the yams but it was a very delicious meal anyhow. Oh! Thanks to
seleneheart I am now on BlueSky Social which I'm presuming is the next best to X? (Not that X is the best!)

I should sleep like the dead thanks to that nice juicy turkey breast. :) It was so delicious and my bg score is only 8.0mmol/l! That is super!!!! And Mum is going to heat up the leftovers in a stewp... and usually I won't touch turkey soup, but Mummy's is the best! :D And our very own Roxy cooked up the beast! Man her beef gravy was great but spicy! :D :D :D
I ate everything on my plate. I actually am looking forward to the stewp! Gotta love the hols eh??
I am sleepy now.. so, I will log off and say Auf Wiedesehen.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Oct. 8th, 2023 11:13 am
To all my Canadian readers, Happy Thanksgiving!!!
What is my favorite part of Thanksgiving? Being with loved ones and just enjoying myself. And quite possibly the food! Gotta love turkey and ham... although I like ham a lot more than turkey.... turkey is conk-out food due to it having tryptophan in it? But ya. Mashed potatoes? Maybe yams? Noms!! And dessert!? Three words. Southern blueberry pie. Or pumpkin.
Anyways, good times y'know??
Gaming wise, I got pretty much everything back. :) I have a different friend code so here it is: 2124-5348-6840. I have Pokemon US/UM, X and Omega Ruby to trade from. I will probably get Sun and Moon too. :)

I don't like Jared Leto's Joker so... I didn't include him. Heath was legendary, and Cesar and Jack were ok, even Joaquin was great.... but I like Heath Ledger a lot... I was pretty torn up when he passed.
But, oddly enough, that wasn't my intentional subject... tbh I have no idea.. oh! I know! I had to reformat my stupid XL, bc the hShop app was acting up... and so.. I need to get my apps again, and start over in EVERY FUCKING GAME! :( :(
Eh.. the good news is that Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon are working again. I intend to get Sun & Moon too. I love my hacked 3DS. ♥
I had turkey sausages, and pasta salad for dinner... was good. Roxy served us.
Tomorrow I am on dishes.... *sighs* We have a crapload of dishes ahead of us... ugh. Thankfully, Bees will help with it, along with me and Jo. :) Jo is a really fast washer thank whomever!!
Bees and Maman will both be in attendance to our Thanksgiving supper. I am being bad and eating more ham than turkey.... I absolutely love ham, spiral, bone in, however I can get it!!
Yupp. We is having EVERYTHING tomorrow; turkey, ham, mashed potato, yams, stuffing, veggies, then pie for dessert. Apple, pumpkin, and maybe southern blueberry, peach and pecan.
FUCKING HELL YES!!
Anyways, I already briefed y'all on the gaming front... I want to know why the hell, when they made the D/P updates on the Switch, why didn't they just redo Platinum ffs??? Doesn't make sense. :o Bc I have a cartridge with all these random games on it, like Platinum and such, I see now that they should have redone that instead of D/P. I had the original (and still do... in that mega bundle cartridge) Diamond and Bees had Pearl, I remember when they came out, and they came with these giant styluses with Dialga/Palkia on them. I remember losing mine on the road somewhere between here and the library.... we went to the library a lot in those days, bc I didn't own a laptop until like 2017-18...
It was great. I didn't originally choose Turtwig, but Piplup. I went through a phase where I was constantly restarting, so I got to play with every starter to the end, so.... but my favorite was defo Turtwig in the end.
I talk to much, I have to attend to my phone as it keeps pinging FB status updates. Oh! And Willie Jess is now Jase. Bees will take the Vaio now as Julie wants the Gateway. She doesn't game like Julz and I do. She mainly goes on for like Facebook, and Youtube, and e-mail... so this Vaio is purrf for her. :)
Well.. I'm off...
Love each and everyone of y'all.

Listening to Tay ♥
Oct. 7th, 2023 09:48 am So, today is October 7th... I was cleaning out my wardrobe, throwing away shit that I don't like/want anymore, plus a general cleaning of the room. Hopefully, it will pass inspection... cos if it don't then, we are SOL (shit outta luck).... or up creek sans paddle to put it a better way... now I'm listening to Kat DeLuna. I have to e-mail Bees her niece's baby pictures that I had stored on my old Photobucket account. I'll do that later... right now I have a bit of the collywobbles. I think I'll rest for awhile b4 attempting to do maintenance. It's not like this computer will be mine any longer as of the end of October, y'know??
I am probably just going to take it easy today bc tomorrow we are having our Thanksgiving feast... and I'm on dishes with Jo.. joy. I was just looking about for the pinging noisie, I thought it was the computer having a conniption fit... but it was just my phone. Ha! Oh! I thought I had fucked up and lost my iCloud account, but nope. Still have it. LOL!!! I call the Google Play Store the App Store that's how fucked up I can be. Heh. Found my slipper socks... and am wearing them now.
Jess taught me the moves to the Kat song 'Drop It Low' but I forgot it.... I will have to ask her again... she teaches dancing maybe every every other week. :)
So, that's me.

So my lovelies.. 'sup?
Oct. 6th, 2023 07:34 am Well, I'm about to get some water and take my insulin. 4.4 mmols/l is my score today. :) Right on target. It's usually this low in the morning, bc I have been fasting overnight. Cherie at the diabetes clinic says if I feel weak, (which I do a bit this morning), I should add peanut butter to my toast, bc usually, I just have butter... but that's it. :/
It rained last night, but then again, I didn't hear jack bc I sleep like the dead... my weather widget says high winds soon and 15c and cloudy. It looks cloudy alright but it isn't windy yet. Temps are dropping... uno momento, gotta turn off the a/c and open the window.... brb!
Later:
Sorry, the water tastes like wet dog :( Smells kind of off too. But that could just be Julz who reeks of b.o. Thankfully Liz comes today. Last week she and her special friend went to see Saw X, now Liz is in her 60's and doesn't like that type of stuff so she was tricked in a way??
I had better start my day... I need to get dressed and shoot myself up with insulin. Joy.
Why does my mug smell like fag smoke????? *casts evil eye upwards to L.W.'s room. She had better not be smoking and drinking out of my cup!!!
Anyways, enough procrastinating! Let's go!!!
