A new experience: Laughing gas

 My only interaction with laughing gas was when I saw it in a Flintstones episode where the dentist gave poor Barnie too much of it and he simply went off track.

On this day, my dentist gave it to me to help me deal with the pain of a root canal.
No problem.  The laughing gas worked like a charm but I did not go off track like Barnie.

Avoided some horror: The swollen battery

Thank goodness that I was able to rid myself of this swollen battery before it exploded on me.

I noticed that the rechargeable battery had fallen out of the device in question and when I went to reinsert it, it did not fit.
I felt the battery a bit more carefully and then noticed the problem.
The battery was swollen.
Time for a replacement.

A few years ago the same thing happened with my iphone but this time the home button was the savior for me.
I noticed that the home button could  not be pressed and I took my iphone to the Apple Store.
Problem solved; it was a swollen battery.

A constant headache: Having to ask for electronic instructions

I am becoming a bit impatient with those vendors and sellers that somehow forget to provide electronic instructions for the products that they sell. In fact, call it frustration and my case in point is this.

There is a certain vendor in the US that is selling some of their Zoom recorders without any electronic instructions. I have had to spend months depending on the good will of one of their staff to help me and I am still not able to transfer recordings from my zoom recorder to my computer.

What can I do? If anyone has a solution then write to me at donnajodhan@gmail.com.

Hard to find at times: Those stray softener sheets

Call them my constant challenge.  This is what happens every time I do my laundry.

Whenever I take my laundry out of the dryer, I need to go hunting for the softener sheets.
Most times I can locate them but it takes me quite a few minutes to find them.
Then there are the times when I cannot find them and then I do, some days or even weeks later.

I need to create a strategy to find those elusive softener sheets but as of now I have no answer to their being missing in action.

Friends for life! Getting to visit with Cathie and Chris

 They will be my Earth Angels forever.  I don’t think that in my lifetime I have ever had the pleasure and privilege to have met such kind and wonderful folks.

I am truly blessed when I say that I have had such terrific folks walk right into my life.
There are so many to mention.  Jilla, Susan, Sandra, Gabriella, Stephie, and now Chris and Cathie.  SR B and SR E!  Aaron, Stephen, Shane, and the list goes on.

I reached out to Cathie in 2023 and she answered my call for help. She opened her home to me in the spring of 2024 and it was a visit always to remember.

A refreshing experience! Visiting Terminal 3

 In March 2023 I had the privilege and pleasure to visit Terminal 3 at Pearson Airport to do a session with the good folks at the Canadian Air Transportation Services Agency.

This was a session that I very much enjoyed, as my guide Gabrielle and her fellow worker were very good at pointing out the highlights and asking me for my feedback.

The tour was extremely thorough and very informative and I can only say how I wish that other federal government departments could be as thorough.

A necessary technique: Saving soap

 Just another technique to ensure that Mom saves soap.
Thanks to one of her care givers, whose name I’ll not disclose.
The technique is very simple, when dealing with liquid dish soap and liquid laundry soap.
Here’s what we do.
We fill a small bottle with a half measure of water.
Then we pour soap from the bigger bottle of pure soap.
We fill the smaller bottle completely.
We shake well and voila!
We now have a new bottle of concentrated soap!
