So I really don't like spiders. Like... terrified. I also don't like to hurt them though... so after seeing one too many of the little jumping spiders I did some research and decided to do some scienceing to deter them. I've now sprayed every possible spider lair with my mixture
They apparently hate white vinegar, lavender, peppermint, and citrus. I mixed them all together (essential oils with vinegar). Now everything smells like peppermint vinegar but if spider free... worth it.
I also tested it first... one jumping spider was outside on a screen. I put a few drops of peppermint on a cotton pad and held it nearby. Off it ran and didn't come back. Sooo here's to hoping...

And now for #90DayFiance one of the rare times I will express opinion on twitter LOL. First up Varya... no girl. This guy does not deserve you. You too, Mary. He proposes and takes 'I need more time' after 2 weeks as a no and immediately hooks up with someone else? Nope. Buh bye.
I can't believe anyone wants to fight over this guy who is clearly loving the drama of it all.
Now we are on to Usman and Lisa. Same sentiment other way round. If you are getting along this badly before the wedding it is not gonna get better. Find someone who doesn't yell at you all the time, Usman.

Many seem to think the military "report" was intentionally commissioned to be released. Nope. This was the #CAF doing what it often does (and many are grateful in this case). Documenting conditions and challenges. It was a BIG surprise to military folks Premier Ford released it.
It was also a big surprise to many to hear Prime Minister Trudeau address it. As one source said a generation of officers who grew up in Afghanistan know the importance of documenting and sending it up the chain. They will not face allegations of looking the other way.
This was the troops doing their job and reporting what they saw. It was command making sure they checked in with the troops. It was documenting the conditions and challenges to the mission and then it was sent up to General Rouleau at CJOC and the CDS, then to politicos

If you're wondering why troops became whistle blowers... they were deeply concerned nothing was going to be done about the conditions they were reporting. They didn't understand why the federal govt had not moved given the May 14th letter.
Military left one of the homes last night, many troops are worried about what is going to happen. These #CAF troops don't go counter cultural and talk to a reporter easily. But they know those in LTC facilities don't have a voice. Soldiers are now their voice.
UPDATE: 39 of the troops serving in long term care homes have now contracted #COVID19. Deeply concerning in light of the allegations @globalnews about the lack of PPE and improper use of it and infection control protocols between staff and residents.
