Sorry but Canada Dry is actually healthy for me when i am sick only fluids i can get into me lol

:lol: You tell ‘em Girl!

My “neighbor”, “miss muffet” is also an incurable hard core Ginger Ale addict. I don’t know how she can drink that President’s Choice stuff some people pick up for her it just tastes horrible. The couple times i got some for her it’s Canada Dry only. Some things in life just don’t have an acceptable alternative. This is definitely one of them.

Schweppes is not bad either but Canada Dry is best choice. Ginger beer i cannot drink it but it helps with nausea sometimes it burns throat on the way down.

Agreed. Sometimes, if I've been drinking a lot of Canada Dry I'll switch to Schweppes because it's a little less sweet.

A farewell to juice boxes: Winnipeg sketch comedy troupe offers a lament for Canada's Food Guide
January 28, 2019

The original Canada's Food Guide has always been this country's lighthouse in the dark and stormy seas of life. Now, we're rudderless in an ocean of ridiculousness and quinoa...

What are we supposed to drink, according to the new food guide? Water? Like some sort of animal?...

Canada's original food guide has always been there to hold our hand through the eating process. It was our rainbow in a rainstorm, except at the end of that rainbow there was no pot of gold. There was a bowl of cheese. And the bowl was made of bread!

Whether we were eating a steak dipped in yogurt or washing down a pint of wet bread with our favourite juice box, Canada's Food Guide gave us something to believe in. It assured us that a mostly Jell-O salad with some celery floating around in there was totally fine. It's green, isn't it?

Apparently, that's not good enough anymore.

Well, you know what? If a 75-year-old food guide is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Shoveling my driveway in TO

 

[Daniel E.]

Are you warm in all that or are you still cold?

 

[Mari]

Warm except for my frozen eyelashes! I do have on two sweaters and two pant layers. I think it went up to -13C so it was actually quite toasty :snow:

 

[GaryQ]

Looks like you were dressed to go on an polar expedition.

[GaryQ]

I was looking at the weather network earlier. it’s +10c to +15c in southern Ontario today! (50 to 60F) like wow!

Meanwhile it’s -22C here at the moment and we got about 6 inches of snow that is so light it’ll be blowing around for quite some time.

One guy here has 4 employees: Freisen, Froese, Harder, Fast (Local Joke)

What's true (and funny) is that the most common Mennonite name in the Steinbach phonebook is Freisen.

My personal running jokes since moving here have become:
1 - (Always in response to do I speak Low German; Mennonite Dialect. High German is regular German) Some folks here speak High German, some speak Low German, I speak NO German.
2 - We have many different Surnames here but from November to May we all be a Freisen :facepalm:
