It's getting colder and colder everyday. Yesterday's temp. was only -3C. Surprised! I was so surprise that it was negative temperature outside in the morning in Vancouver island. Wow! Anyway, it was close to lunchtime when suddenly the temp. went up higher because the sun was visible and not covered by clouds. It went up to 6C.
Negative to positive degrees. It will be like that now until Winter. -+
We have two different heating inside the house: electric and gas. Gas for hot water and for fireplace. However, the fireplace is weird this time around. Oh, it was strange, acting so strange last year actually. Per month's billing was $40 even if the fireplace is off. So, that strange, very weird fireplace...it has that small lamp of flame inside the fireplace and doesn't get bigger flame than what it used to be.
No heat coming out. A technician will come to fix our fireplace tomorrow as promised.
My hubby is suffering from some kind of gas pain. Today he burped twice before going to work. I don't know why he had that stubborn pain most of the time. I had that too before but it only lasted for hours not day. That happened when I had that "weird coffee" that tasted like " burned rotten wood."
While I 'm not sure nor know the cause of his stomach pains but it started when he was doing the renovation in the apartment. He said, it was gas pain. I asked him to visit his doctor to know for sure what it is that's causing the pain all the time instead of the guessing game.

Toxic Fumes Are Not Perfumes
How smelly are you?
You are stinky by the kind of food you eat or had eaten prior to being sniffed by dogs. lol
Here are food that smell or has foul odor:
Beef, venison, moosemeat and other wild meat from duck, emu, geese, dried fish, squids, octopus, alamang, bagoong, shellfish.
Spices: onions, garlic, curry, garlic-bean sauce, cumin, teriyaki,, etc
Sometimes it depends on how you cook these dishes and what spices and sauces are added on the food. Cooks with expertise on cooking the right way or have special technique on culinary arts need to learn from the other experts.
Some people have tolerance on how and what they are to smell or just that they can't smell their own body odor. Try deodorant. Most of the time, people who are smokers don't really have sense of smell. People with serious illness have that "strong smell" inside their body but they can't smell their own rotten eggs. Don't know why. Immune?
Some people smells differently by the type of perfume, shampoo, hair dye (did you know that some hair dyes smell like manure? what the hell!!!!! For God sake! I think we should sue those assholes selling fake hair dye with scented manure)), body soap or body wash they used. There are fragrance or perfumes that some people smelled as "toxic" or foul smell such as those leather and musk cologne (I think derived from wild animals' sweat and urine). However, when there's lemon, lime or citrus added to mask the powerful odor then works well for most of the sensitives.
Do you have pets? They contribute to the smell or odor inside the house. Even if you bathe those pets their saliva and sweat can stay on the couch, sofa and chairs and on your bed, how about in your vehicle? That too. If you think it's your friend who is so smelly while you are inside their vehicle, please be reminded that your pet slobbered and drooled their saliva down on your car's leather or velvet seats. lol.
Have you tried chopping bags of onions and chopped bag of garlic? I worked in restaurants before and chopped millions of garlic heads and onions. I know. For those who never work in the restaurant, those juices coming from onions and garlic can be very smelly. You would rather throw your clothes and aprons after work. Just that some people have some kind of immunity. Have you been into restaurants with open concept style kitchen and the aroma of different food surround the whole mall? Have you been to food court lately? Try it out, have your lunch or dinner inside the food court at the mall. Then when you get home, smell your clothes and your hair. I know that the smell of the food lingers in your clothes, hair and throughout your skin.
Don't get me wrong, chefs and cooks are one of the best job ever! Some expert culinary chefs can make $75,000/year to at least $100,000/year. Just that sometimes, some of them have to start from the beginning to learn and gain more skills.
Taking a shower or bath everyday, good oral hygiene (dental care) is a must and first priority if you work at restaurants, cafe, malls, and places where food are being cooked. Even at home, during winter when the smoke from the stove can spread inside the house even if you have exhaust fan and exhaust chimney, still the smoke and smell of food lingers in the air. Toxic fumes? They can be toxic sometimes that's why you have to open your windows once in a while at your kitchen. Try plug-ins such as febreze. Out of febreze? Try Air Wick. White flower/vanilla/melon scents the most sweet and refreshing fragrance ever!
Inhale, exhale and breathe fresh air.

Wildfire
I first thought I will have my empanadas again for my breakfast but I cannot find the 4 empanadas I had stored inside the fridge. Out of 29 empanadas only 4 left inside the ziploc bag and this morning they are gone. I think my son Justin ate some of them. My daughter is not fond of empanada. She likes springrolls and eggrolls but she doesn't eat empanada. She only likes the stuffing without the wrapper. It's okay, better bake more of it later.
Maybe next time it's better to buy already made wrappers than roll the dough.
I woke up with aches and pain again on my right shoulder. My hubby said it's probably the mattress that's causing it. Our mattress is uneven now after it's been purchased in year 2011. So that mattress is already 8 years old. Expensive mattress! Or could be how I sleep at night with 4 pillows. lol. Could also be that I sleep on the right side of the bed and pinning down my right shoulder and arm. It feels like I paddled a boat and swim all day. Uhm, I wonder how those Olympic athletes felt after their rigorous, very strict training to compete. It must be very painful.
Thinking about it would only make me feel like a loser. Whatever! he he he.
So, my daughter and I watched the latest episode of TWD: Ep. Silence the Whisperers. The latest theme of this brand new smart direction by Michael Cudlitz (Abraham, remember him? He and Glenn were the victims of lucille bat as he was head- smashed by Negan in the old episodes of TWD is no longer an actor, he is the new director of TWD The Walking Dead series). The opening of TWD had it with mellow sound music without those actors and actresses having to talk, no dialogue just action and facial expressions. 10-15 minutes of such screening without dialogue and it's for viewers to just think and perceive of what's happening. Then they all rushed outside of their comfort zone when a huge tree fell down on the ground. It's kind of weird that Ezequiel had a way of escaping from the scene of confrontation with the walkers. He had that escape mechanism when he was partnered with Carol and now he seems trying to entice Michonne. I don't know if Michonne will fall for it. So, the Hilltop was attack by zombies and they thought Alpha got to do with it. While Negan rescued Lydia from the bullying of those teens who disliked her. Negan is back to the cell. However, the next day he vanished from the cell and from Alexandria. Lydia told them that she did it why Negan was out of the cell and imprisoned herself. Really? Who to believe? Could it be that once again they were once again infiltrated? With whisperers in and out of the village nobody is safe.
ANNE With An E. tv series. Rumors, gossiping also had its earnings, spread like wildfire in that old century Anne's village and it happened in the dance hall when one of Anne's friend was the talk of the night. (After the barn fest where Anne's adoptive father won an unusual ribbon, silver prize for his giant radish, while her adoptive mother also won an award. That festival was already a better way of ending a great bountiful harvest, yet without odds and ends, a story is just plain, dull and boring. To add the fake fortune teller in 18th century life in the old town adds something of breath of fresh air to Anne's unhappy, unfortunate life as an orphan).
WILDFIRE continuous to engulf houses and many properties in California. Why every year? Why in the vineyard most of the time? Is that kaingin system? Because there are smelters in California? What could be? How hot in California? Every year, after the harvest or before the harvest? Every year... it's almost like systemic.
It's getting cold. Only 2C today. 20C inside our home. Life goes on whether you like it or nor.
Thank God, we don't have that kind of wildfire in our area.

Cool Whip. Whip It Good!
How could a daily rant be a business? Is your DIARY a business? Aahahhahaaha! LMAO. I know that is sooooo f' funny.
I think we at BLOGGER are doing more work for those who are working in the government. For sure.
Now don't get so serious and wish that those thieves will be punished for act of stealing our info here. Information, ideas, and opinions are of my own doing. Please don't steal them.
Okay, let us stop being dramatic. Me using plural. I am always multitasking to the point that "WE"
the proverbial word WE is me. I'm only ONE.
WE is VVE.
VVE is WE
Don't you know? Now that you know it's time to calm down.
OMG! I love my breakfast today.
Empanadas! Look at how they shine. My very first time to make empanada from scratch.
We had leftover of the fillings/stuffing - menudo-curry from our supper: consist of butter, ground beef, minced onions, garlic, sriracha sauce, diced carrots and potatoes, peas, ground oregano, bayleaf, spices (curry powder), salt & pepper.Actually, not leftover, because I cooked them with the intention of making empanadas. Duh. I just separate one portion of curry-menudo in one bowl (2 bowls) from the wok.
Our dessert: Blueberry, banana, peach pie with Cool WHIP of course. WHIP IT GOOD!
I labored through it preparing ingredients from scratch. Rolling the dough using rolling pin. Laborious of course. My exercise while my shoulder was in great aches and pain. I think it helped relieve the pain. Now you know why PIES are expensive. Why TURNOVERS are costly. Just to think about IT is crucially and painfully laborious.
The first batch of empanada's gone. Finished. Yummy, yummy good to the last bite that I made some more wrappers and fill them up with the same ground beef stuffing.
Now, I have more empanadas or turnovers for snacks.

Is Blogging A Business?
The answer would be IT DEPENDS.
Blogging is a business if you are compensated from that kind of work. If you know what I mean. Blogging is not a business if you are not paid or you are not earning anything from it. Is that too much to understand?
If somebody is making earnings from your blogging...whoever they are ?????? WHO?
I don't know.
BLOGGER is owned by whom? Blogger or Google?
It was owned by Pyra Labs before but was sold to Google.
What is Google & who owns Google?
I know that I'm a blogger because I blog, however,
I am not the owner of Blogger and Google.
Duh, you don't have to think harder.

Approach-Avoidance Conflict
Thank God it's already Saturday. October 26, 2019. Five days to Halloween celebration. Come to think of it that Halloween fest is celebrated with much enthusiasm and fun fare than Christmas. Parents spent and bought expensive costumes and accessories for their kids. Schools celebrate Halloween with colorful parade and parties. Commercialism abound. Extravagance. But at what extra cost? Yeah, happiness for kids. Adults also enjoy wearing costumes include themselves in the happiness of their own children. A lot of fundraising happened during Halloween so that's beneficial to whoever benefit from it.
I woke up with aches and pains, on my right shoulder yesterday. The pain is gone on my right shoulder in the afternoon but the pain moved to the left shoulder. The pains gone at night time. Then this morning when I woke up the aches and pains are now on both shoulder. OMG! I'm doing my shoulder exercises. I don't like taking pain medication. I think sleeping on the wrong side of the bed is bad or because I was sleeping with my head on top of my arm. But you know what? I noticed that whenever I watched action-packed movies on TV with loads of firing, blasting, and explosions the next day my body was kind of having been scanned and bombarded with radiation. That could be the side effect.
RED 2 is such a movie of blasting, I watched it last night. Halloween movies and other suspense thrillers with explosions, lots of guns and canon fires and blasting resulting to "fallout." Whatever. It can't happen to you but it can happen to others. It happened to me.
Remember the cartoon animated movie with colorful blast of explosions and kids were watching it in Japan? It was news, an old news when kids were hit with powerful radiation thr. their TV. Could it be that their TV is just too close from their watchful eyes.
Anyway, forget about it. My children are old enough to participate in Halloween trick or treating. Gone are the days of chewing those colored gummie bears that got stuck to gums and teeth and the cause of dental care and visits to the dentist costing $1,000 to $5,000 total amount of cleaning and care. Candies and chocolates are not good for your teeth. Even if you look after and take care of your teeth, there comes a time when your tooth or your teeth must be extracted and pulled out. Tooth fillings are expensive too. Oral hygiene is very costly in Canada.
Halloween is always a part of the "Approach-Avoidance Conflict" for every family.

Reality Sucks.
What and how much is taxable income in Canada? Let say, C$ 47,640 and above. If you are earning
C$ 47,640 per year (annual income) you have to pay income tax.
C$ 47,640 /12 months = C$ 3,970/month earnings
How to budget C$3,970 in today's economic situation?
ESTIMATION: Monthly Budget Per Household
The cheapest affordable mortgage for housing is C$ 1,000 to C$1,500/month.
Hydro & GAS for heating the house - C$ 250. to C$300/month
TV, Internet, Phone - C$ 250.
FOOD and cleaning supply - C$ 1,250 to maybe C$1,500/month
Car Insurance, maintenance, gas? -
Health Insurance - ?
Clothing, Shoes, Accessories - ?
Other form of entertainment - ?
Vacation/Holidays? - None
Educational Needs of Children- ?
Miscellaneous - ?
You think you can have savings? LOL.
Then you have to pay income tax?
I think we all should watch THE JOKER.
Why all the crying, loud shouting and mass protest about Climate Change? Because some of them have to pay Hydro and Gas to heat their homes and nothing is left for food supply. They can't even afford to buy new clothes and shoes. They can't go to College because it's keeping the homes warm is more important than anything else. To think that there are not enough for people to own or rent a house because you have to remember that thousands of homes were ravaged by wildfires and flood and the newly built houses and apartments were exclusively built for millionaires.
There are many financially endowed humans and families in Canada but because of calamities and other disasters caused by hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, flood, wildfires per year and closure of many business establishments had them in poverty now. Reality sucks.
Now what? Freak the freak out? I mean prick the freak out.
Reality sucks! To add virtual reality is EVIL.

The Best of Superfast Food
One of the fastest and easiest to cook at home. Hamburger of course. You have all the ingredients? No problem. Buns, burger, mayo, mustard, relish, salt & pepper, onions, tomatoes and beef patties. Catsup if you don't like the sriracha. Fries? Slice potatoes to desired sizes and deep fry them on hot boiling cooking oil in a big wok or deep fryer.
To have fried fish such as salmons even better with steamed jazmine rice.
Shake and baked chicken. Put them on your favorite pyrex dish after you marinated them or coated and shook those pieces of raw chicken meat with mixed crumbs, then place the dish inside the oven at specified time and oven temperature of at least 400 degrees C.
There is nothing easier about instant chicken noodles soup in a bowl. Add required amount of clean drinking water, add the packets of seasoning, add pieces of sliced ham, add peas, and then cook it inside the microwave for 4 minutes. Yummy good! It really fills your tummy superbly good.

SEAL TEAM
We watched the SEAL TEAM: Episode: Theory & Methodology.
As usual another mission to embark. To retake the "plant." Looked like a nuke plant or old rocket missile plant whatever that is in Azerbajan. It's not a fun job being member of an elite SEAL Team. I wonder how much they are paid for the most dangerous job in the world. If they are paid lower than $75,000-$100,000/year then there is something wrong. Most of their missions are dangerous and death-defying. Just to skydive and parachute down to the battleground is very challenging and dangerous. Look at how they live. They live in old houses, can't afford to send their kids to school. They drive old cars. No wonder some of them are suffering from PTSD.
Anyway, that's the portrayal of NAVY SEALS team on TV series. We don't really know the whole truth of their wealth in reality. Maybe they are also sealed in "humility." And their own families are also SEALED.

Ghost Fire: Another Wilbur Smith's Epic Novel
Husband bought a new book, novel GHOST FIRE written by famous novelist Wilbur Smith (with Tom Harper).
To better understand Wilbur Smith's novels you have to start reading the previous books about the Courtney's family and clan. From the very beginning... That's a lot of books to peruse and enjoy.
So, consider this book as another collection of my husband who has the entire books from the beginning to the latest book. We're up to date.
NOTE: WILBUR SMITH's books are for ADULTS ONLY.
Strictly for matured readers, no matter how young those cast of characters in his books.
GHOST FIRE is the story of two orphaned kids Theo & Connie and their incredible adventures and misadventures, marvellous as it was oftentimes unfortunate events that lead to uncertainties and God knows what at stake and where life would lead the epic saga of the Courtney's family and clan to the future.

Strictly for matured readers, no matter how young those cast of characters in his books.
GHOST FIRE is the story of two orphaned kids Theo & Connie and their incredible adventures and misadventures, marvellous as it was oftentimes unfortunate events that lead to uncertainties and God knows what at stake and where life would lead the epic saga of the Courtney's family and clan to the future.

Experience Is The Best Teacher
Hot VH Cooffee and a piece of pie (blueberry-banana) for my very unusual breakfast. Husband had ham sandwich for breakfast before heading for work. So much of that left-over turkey which is our lunch for today. I don't eat turkey so I don't know if it tastes good or what. But maybe it's delicious for them, who loves the turkey.
We missed one member of our family. My son had to celebrate it with his two aunts in the mainland. But when I asked him if he enjoyed his turkey dinner there, he told me that he works full time now at the workplace and still studying. OMG! I don't know how he can concentrate that much in his studies when he works. When I was in College, I have 18 units to master (meaning 6 subjects to study and sometimes quizzes and exams went simultaneously crazy). 23 units if I have Botany subject to tackle with. If I have to study and work with 23 units or 18 units? OMG!!!!! I'll be dead.
I'm proud of my son who manages to work and study everyday. I don't know how he can do it but it was tough. "I wished am a millionaire or at least financially endowed" to send him to University and finish his University degree without the need to work. The good thing about here in Canada, students can get a loan and obtain it from banks that you can trust. Politicians promising about certain "promises" on students to help pay their way to College. However their promises are only promises to ease the election process. We don't really know what they will do and can't do once they are in office.
At one point in time in the U.S. when Sen. Elizabeth Warren was opinionated on helping American College students. Hey, her idea is such a smart move. As I told you before, in Germany there is that University where you can enroll free, no need to pay tuition fees. Amazing! You wished that's also available in Canadian Universities.
Scholars can obtain free schooling at a percentage rate that what is available on written agreement. So, it's not a guarantee that it will be 100% free. There are only few College students in Canada, because majority of College students in Canada are foreigners or the sons and daughters of immigrants. Not too many Canadian-born who are heading to College or University but because you can get a job once you graduated from High School. It means that having University degree is not really a " priority" in many available work in Canada. If you know what I mean. Experience is always required when it comes to finding work. You can be a College graduate but if you don't have an experience then that's a minus. Work experience, natural talents and naturally acquired skills are always the best way to get ahead no matter what.

Humanity Must Survive
There is one particular scene in "Dancing With the Wolves" movie that I didn't understand at first. Not because the movie was so deep down in drama and majestic scenery of the so called "last frontier" but because the characters in the movie story sometimes talked in codes or codified language.
When the Indian chief asked the soldier portrayed by Kevin Costner about the future events, he asked him, "Are the Whites coming?" Lt. Dunbar (Kevin) nod and replied, "Yes."
Then the next scene, Lt. Dunbar (Kevin) saw the slaughter of bulls in epic proportion. The bulls
were left on the ground without skin. What happened and who did it? It was shocking!
Next scene... the climate has changed and suddenly the snow falling on the ground. The whole ground was covered with snow that the Lakota Indians decided it was time to move to another place to settle.
It's a matter of survival in the wilds, in the very balmy cold temperature. They are not in Siberia. they are in America. Who should live and survive?
If that's a true story then you are alive today because of what they did to survive to that harsh, epic climate change.

Who's Watching You?
Subjects such as bullying, racism, racial prejudice, mental disability, and other disabilities never go away? Who we have to blame about this stereotyping?
Watch movies, television shows and series and every time those subjects are magnet for ridicule.
Are the kids of today becoming so weak and easy target?
It must start from home to do some kind of discipline then the schools should help as much as in the workplace.
You cannot be bullied if you are strong and opinionated. Or you are bullied because you are strong and opinionated?
Watch the many social cues on Facebook, TV Shows such as BIG BROTHER, SURVIVOR, AMAZING RACE, reality shows showing much of the hype and how one person contribute to such racism and stereotyping. Learn on how you cannot be a target and not be bullied. You can just hide inside the house and pretend that everything is okay.
There are so many kids and teens who are bullied and lied and deprived of their basic freedom to come out in the open for fear of retaliation. FEAR is such an awful word. What are you afraid of? There are no zombies outside. You are not the character in zombie movies and zombie shows. There must be something out there that frightened the hell out of you and those who committed suicides. What is happening outside that the rest of us don't know?
That's why in many establishments in Philippines there are CCTV or close circuit cameras. These public camera lenses almost everything that are happening inside and out of every buildings, in every roads, highways and streets. This kind of cameras are also available in many countries around the world. Would you allow such cameras in Canada? How Canada protect the children and vulnerable citizens and residents of this country? Bullying is so rampant here in Canada so those close circuit monitors should be allowed right? It should be available in any business establishments,workplace, in schools, playgrounds, parks, in cruise ships and dockyards, bus stop stations, train stations, LRT or MTR stations, on the roads and highways. Whatever! Whatever that is beneficial for humanity to succeed. What advantages and disadvantages? The advantages of having caught so many sexual molesters, rapists, perverts, robbers and snatchers. So, if you think you are being harassed somewhere out there? There could be hidden cameras and your harassers are caught by cameras for evidence.
Bad people will always be bad people. So it's a disadvantage to bad people. lol.

Whatever! The Earth Is A Circle! You Can Always Spin and Go with The Flow
As usual have to finish all my household chores before I attend to my blogging. Nothing much of happening here at home except that my husband and I tried not to argue on politics and religion. We watched TV News all the time, as in everyday so we are aware of what's going on in Canada and everywhere around the world as brought on by news reporters on CTV, CBC News Network, CNN, Global News, etc. Lots of news!!!!!!
Too many news. Old news. New, latest news. Maybe there are hoard news too from the past.
I'm happy that it looks warm outside because the sun shines so brightly. Thursday today. OMG! How time flies eh? We've been watching reruns of JAWS movies, the rerun of SPY starring Melissa McCarthy. She's a real trooper! Real comedian, not trying hard. SPY the movie is incredibly hilarious. There's a part or scene where "Susan" (Melissa M.) was having conversation with another spy agent and then another passerby at the sidewalk where she was. If you ever noticed the man whose hand was in his pocket while he walks for the long duration of that scene. It was hysterical. Money in your pocket? LOL. You'll end up like that man with hands in your pocket and not letting go of your money. huh! Being cocky!
Are you being cocky? Whatever that means.
Watching many advertisements regarding the Federal elections and their phrase and those catchy ADs such as:
"IN IT FOR YOU!" - Ad from Jagmeet Singh.
"MONEY IN YOUR POCKET" - Ad from Andrew Scheer
"NOT AS ADVERTISED!" - Negative ad for Justin Trudeau from another political party?
As of now don't know what campaign advertisement for Elizabeth May who happened to be a lawyer and an author of many books. Wow! She had written controversial books and those titles you might peruse them and read and find out how intelligent Elizabeth May is. I first thought she is just a lawyer but she is more than a woman. It would be nice if she becomes the new Prime Minister of Canada. She has that brilliance similar to Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Whatever! People of Canada should VOTE and exercise your right. It's your right you must exercise and use it wisely.
Looking forward to watch ET & ETALK, Superstore, Young Sheldon, SEAL TEAM, EVIL, some news, maybe old movies whatever is available on TV Programs.
Being thrifty. We're paying expensive TV connection and there's not much to choose from when it comes to series and shows. Too many old reruns of old movies.
Thanksgiving Day is fast approaching...

It's Okay Not To Know Everything. However...
Thinking hard can cause sleep deprivation and anxiety. It's true! No doubt about it. Why put too much stress and pressure on yourself?
When the problem is overbearing and hard or impossible to solve don't think harder just move on and find other ways to keep you busy. Some problems have no solution so set them aside. It's okay not to know everything.
OMG! That stupid hacker is back.
So that's the problem right now. I changed my desktop wallpaper two days ago and suddenly the hacker changed it. WTH. How could that happen? Hackers are thieves!!
Money in your pocket will help? More money in our pocket? Volunteers will be paid now for their voluntary work? What could be? That one solution for overworked volunteer or lobbies.
Wait a minute, lobbies are paid to take the blame that's why they are paid for their lobbying. Volunteers are not, when they are the ones doing the work. Explain that.
----------------------------------------------------
When you volunteer, learn to ask questions:
KEY QUESTIONS such as Who, What, Where, When, How & Why
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volunteers do it to pay for their loopholes.
They owed something from the government that they have to pay. They owed tax payments and unable to pay it, but given the chance to repay through loopholes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Community service that they are oblige to do because they are sentence by court to do that work without pay because they committed a crime. ( ? )
------------------------------------------------------
WORKERS who work should be paid for their work. Volunteers are workers and if they are working then they should be paid and money should be in their pocket. Volunteers need to stay afloat and they have to pay their rental home. Money in your pocket is >> that's a weird advertisement you know. LOL. What's in your pocket? Change. Change or loose coins fit your pocket. Folds of money in the wallet. Loose change in the form of coins is just nothing. Live to survive with coins? Whatever. TWO DOLLAR COINS per second is just right. Aahahhahahaha!
Did you know that 1 CENT coin is no longer seen in currency in Canada for the past 6 years? What is next to dissolve? Would 5 CENTS or 10 cents also vanish or discontinued so that the process of minting 5 cents coins (or 10 cents) lessen the manufacturing expenses? Well, less usage of metals. Less pressure for the mining industry. Is that great for Canadian economy?

Beef! Beef! Beef!
We've been eating too much beef lately. From hamburgers to beef meatballs to beef steak. Roast beef meat is expensive right now and the price hasn't gone down. Beef is the right meat for protein intake and the source of iron.
Then this Jamaican empanada. We bought this already made just that we heated these empanadas inside the hot oven. First time to try these imports and it's unbelievably delicious and spicy.
Beef balls saute' with bokchoy and oyster sauce, superbly flavorful
and you will eat more rice with it. Rice is the source of carbohydrates and humans need carbo aside from protein. There must be a balance of food intake.
Thank goodness that we have these cans of corned beef. Hereford is the best trademark for anything corned beef. I'm thankful that when we reached the shelves at the supermarket there are few cans left. It's hard to believe that this kind of corned beef is the most sought-after by shoppers. Hereford corned beef is the "emergency canned goods." Non-perishable.
Beef, beef, beef andale arriba! Arriverderci!
I cooked hot chilli beans because it's my husband and son's favorite.
Great when the weather is cold.
Because my daughter doesn't eat chilli's then have to cook something else

Marketing Technique
It was 4 days ago when we went shopping at Superstore. I usually have a long list of groceries to buy from dairy products to veggies, cleaning supply and miscellaneous items. I would like to shop for new clothes but no budget for that. However, our shopping list end up costing us more than $500 plus free big sized turkey. At least there's a freebie and it's a turkey. Goodah eh?
If you see so many of my husband's clothes with paint stains, it is what it is. Consider that as work clothes or work uniforms with evidence of paint. Cloverdale paints!
In the news of Forever 21 fashion retail outlets going bankrupt and asking protection rights. What?
I first thought they are one of the successful businesses in America and Canada. It's hard to believe. How could that be? Too much competition. In competition with H&M, WINNERS, Walmart, Superstore's Joe Fresh, and it's because of AMAZON. Amazon.com offers a whole-wide variety of fashion outfits and they are priced very affordable for most consumers. However, because placing orders through the internet still is a worrying consequences for some of us and you know what I mean. You have sense of vision used through the internet but things must fit especially when it comes to clothing and texture of such clothing should be touched. However, when you shop at department stores you get to be interviewed with the same questioning technique by clerks on your personal information so that they have record of your name, address, email address, and other pertinent information. Reason for that some consumers would like to shop at Amazon. I don't know why shopping has to be like that now. Before, you just choose something to buy at the supermarket or department store and pay for it in cash and then go and get out of the store without feeling scared that your personal information would be scattered and given to other companies. Next, every hour there are emails after emails from those companies promoting their ads. You deleted a dozen of their emails and another dozen emails arrive within an hour. Non-stop. OMG! What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's either competition with Amazon or just that too many thrift shops around. You can shop around.
When food and other basic necessities are more important than clothing.
I think my professor in Economics was somewhat very prophetic that this kind of marketing will come true and it is happening in our generation because it happened long time ago in Communist countries.
It would be nice if buying and selling has that process of haggling. The system of haggling as in the consumer or customer would haggle or bargain for the price until the seller lowers the price of such commodity. A pleasant interaction on bargaining table. Shrewd and rude? I don't think so. It was a wise argument and implication of conversation on how buyer and seller rules the marketing system. The consumer is always right? I think so.

I'm Glad It's Already October
We're almost done with the yard work. Most of the sunflower stems or legs were cut off and dumped for compost. All the dahlias were then cut and pulled out from the ground. The tubers were sorted out, tagged and stored in 4 carton boxes in the garage > for spring planting. We have a beautiful, greener lawn this time of the year. I think my husband has green thumb. Thanks to the fertilizer and seedlings Golf Green, 911 Response and Lawn Care used for the best result in taking care of lawns. We really love a wonderful, gorgeous, healthy yard even on Autumn season. Wishing we wont experience any snowfall this year at the island.
I know how awful snow is by just looking and watching the heavy snowfall in Calgary. Yuck! To think that the Grey Cup Championship game will be held in Calgary? Wow! That could be very challenging for football players and the viewers of this sports. Who will win the Greycup 2019?
Anyway, what we have to look forward?
Two women dropped by doing survey about election (for October 21 - Elections in Canada). Actually doing personal campaign and giving information about candidates for their respective political party.
Only 20 days left to campaign and promote their agenda and platforms. Good luck!
What to do now? Be happy and relax? To think that it's first day of the month.
Roof over your head.
I was looking down at these stuff on the ground, on the lawn.
I zoomed in my digital camera to find out... miniature mushrooms! They looked-like mini huts. Of course they are mushrooms you should not eat. Not edible.
Another type of mushrooms, not edible.
And the lone field sparrow.
