Cudos to the driver of #octranspo bus 4633 today. I saw that guy who took out his frustration with bus and train service in the city on you. You stayed calm. And kept driving #ottawa
Tommy Rath, addicted to meth, vanished one day from “The Jungle,” a generations-old homeless encampment in Ithaca, N.Y. What happened to him? And what does the Jungle’s long existence tell us? My story, with powerful photos by @heislerphoto. https://t.co/rXLscSzAKv
@rupasubramanya I am so sorry. This is so hard. Your kitty sounded like a wonderful friend. I had a mourning period after I lost my dog that included eating lots of fried chicken and cupcakes ❤️
@sometherapist 2/ While it was tough to do and hurt our friendship, a few years later she called me out of the blue to tell me I was right. He had turned out to be emotionally and sexually abusive. Child porn was later found on his computer. She left that marriage and carved out a new life.
@sometherapist 1/ Many years ago my best friend was engaged to a guy who made me seriously uncomfortable. I couldn’t put my finger on it but I just had a bad “feeling” about him. When she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding I couldn’t. My gut feeling was so strong.
@JeanneCBC@watersCBC congratulations! You are one of the best! I remember you vetting a documentary I did years ago. You complimented my work, then came the email with more than a dozen suggestions on how to improve it!! Those suggestions guide me to this day. Thank you.
@Theholisticpsyc Thank you ! I am about to have a convo with a friend whose incessant negativity I have finally realized is now affecting my mental well being. There needs to be some boundaries. I am bracing for the question of why "I've changed"...
@Theholisticpsyc Thank you for writing about this. I become parentified after my father died when I was 12. It resulted in a serious co-dependency with my mother that led to a loss of identity, and made forming romantic attachments difficult. I am now - finally - working it through.
You know you live in Ottawa when the person trying to come to your house to pick up something you are selling sends you a text saying they can't get to you because the roads are closed due to #biden#yow
Have you seen this quilt? ⛵️🪡
Saint Johner Sarah Mulroney worked for 6 months on this quilt - before it went missing, with her checked bag, on a direct flight from Moncton to St. John's, NL. She's looking everyhere from aiports to thrift stores
Someone's gotta know something!
@thewrightpage @StvnWbb @CBCNB Steve Congratulations! I count you among my earliest mentors in this business. I am sure you have helped many along the way. Enjoy retirement!
@MireMarke I am so sorry. I am still working on a book I started 10 years ago. Every story has a time. I once heard a writer say he "sat" with a story for 10 years because it took that long for the ending to come to him. Please keep going !!
@ThanksCancer People always told me "you're not alone" when I was going through my cancer - as a way of expressing their support. But when the door of that radiation room closed, and that big machine began to move and whrrr I realized in that moment it really was just me against the illness.
@emilyhaws@CBCNorth As @CBCNorth alum - congratulations! I think every reporter should spend time working in the North. You will see this country differently - and it will inform your journalism for the rest of your career.
