Advertising copywriter. Home baker. Crazy about dogs. Eat way too much chocolate - my dietitian will vouch for that.
I get that it says only Ukraine gets to decide on its territories, but if I were Ukraine, I'd want it to say that Russia has no right to seize another country's land. Putin must be brought to justice. So far, it's been lots of pretty words but not much action.

I get the feeling that these countries want Ukraine to give Russia control of its territories. So long as a "although these aren't legally recognized" at the end, all is well. They can continue to live in their fantasy world that Ukraine will get them back. Meanwhile, Putin gets away with murder

I just met author Emma Donoghue a few minutes ago at a book signing for Paris Express. She gave a great talk.

The world should send them a bill for all the times it helped them fight a war.

Why is the country that said Europe must solve its own problems dictating how a war in Europe must end?

My dog couldn't look away from Dancing With The Stars. The look of joy as she watched the dancers was a sight to behold.

Amateur tips: I start my mixer on low b4 adding the dry ingredients and gradually increase the speed. Stops it from flying everywhere. And I pipe a layer of buttercream around the outer edge of bottom layer b4 adding the curd so it doesn't ooze down the sides. Keep baking!

My feeder is big enough for at least 4 smaller birds to all eat from it at once, but nope - they have to fight each to be the ONE bird that sits there.

Maybe that's why we call them Rockets here in Canada. Smarties, for us, are similar to M&M's.

I don't want Trudeau to resign. Not because he's doing a great job, but because it isn't fair to dump his mess on someone else. He needs to own the embarrassment of losing the next federal election. Kick him out after that and give the new party leader the time they need to rebuild the party.

It wasn't a hobby so much as a ritual: I started taking bubble baths. I still have them once a week.

So Russia gets away with all of its crimes, and the West helps them. Remind me again why we pretend to have laws and a basic code of decency to which we are all supposed to adhere?

Go for it!
