@MsBehavior You’re an amazing human, Lisa- but still a human. I hope you make some space for self care. ♥️

Our small community has a Canada Post outlet, but the postmistress isn’t making enough to keep the lights on without being an official post office. We rely on our post office. @canadapostcorp, how do I get in touch with someone who can help?

@TRScott0 @chelseabwrites I am mom to 5. My kids aren’t allowed social media til they’re 18, and they read a ton! (Also, we home educate, which helps with a love of reading…)

Comets: burning up as they head on an uncontrolled collision course. Embers: dwindling fire that might be coaxed to a flame. Honestly, neither is good. What about something related to the original? Brownies are kind and helpful little faeries. Got a kind and helpful name?

Yikes. We haven't turned our furnace on and have been using wood heat to reduce cost - even so, the power bill for November was over $650. We can't do this. #familyof7 #Alberta #CostOfLivingCrisis @ABDanielleSmith

@lilboops1971 @MsBehavior Only as long as they are not washed. Washing the bloom off the shell exposes the porous surface; then they need to go into the fridge. But yes- Fresh, unwashed farm eggs can last weeks on the counter.

@heatherAtaylor If you have some you just won’t use, make “sun dried tomatoes” for later use. So easy - cut in half and put skin side down on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt if you like. Roast at 200 for 2-3 hours or until there is no juice left, and they’re still soft but leathery.

@MsBehavior We didn’t find out for any except baby Joan (whom we knew we may never get to meet outside of me). And only shared that with our kids. ♥️

[TobyLauren Burgess @TobyLauren]

Ah. Comes with bits of real eggshell so you KNOW it’s good.

[Tim Hortons @TimHortons]

Our eggs are now...
