I've found some great people on this platform. If you are staying, I would encourage you to (try to) follow them (assuming they stay). But Twitter has become a nightmare and no longer delivers any benefits to me. As such, I'm taking a break. Here are some people worth following:

You're the best, Gurdeep. I needed that. ๐Ÿ˜Š
Here I am with happy face in the Yukon winter wonderland after the -40 cold night, the power outage and no heat. Weather people said it felt like -50. I am smiling or at least trying to ๐Ÿ˜€. I am loving the frost on my beard too. I am dispatching joy to you as well ๐Ÿงก

My family and I got our boosters and our flu shots tonight. If you havenโ€™t already, make sure to get yoursโ€”itโ€™s the best way we can protect each other this holiday season!

Blood-letting. That's some 19th-century witch-doctoring, right? Nope. BC acupuncturist Su Lan (Mary) Lee was stripped of her license for doing just that. "Suspended acupuncturist to be disciplined for blood-letting." quackwatch.org/ncahf/digest2โ€ฆ

I hardly recognize anyone in my timeline. Ready to pull the plug. The benefits of this platform have pretty much evaporated.

Whatver you do, DO NOT click on any link in your DMs that someone sent you from this account. It is from a hacker who tried to extort me for money and threatened to delete my account and worse. Can anyone see this Tweet?

After convincing a masked grocery-store employee to go back to the line for me. Me: You're the only one with a mask. Her: I'm high risk. Me: Others should wear oneโ€”even if only for you. Her, sadly: I guess I donโ€™t matter. Me: You matter to me. Her: Thanks.

Hit the liquor store, the beer store and the grocery store today. The grocery bill made the beer and wine look like they came from the thrift store.

Nearing 2 weeks in ICU, 9 days on a ventilator machine breathing for him, this morning James felt he had enough of the machine and the tube and decided it was time it came out! Massive step forward ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป So proud of this little champion, heโ€™s a warrior, absolute warrior โค๏ธ

I think this needs to be said. A pet is not last-minute Christmas gift. Unless you are going to commit to giving it a loving homeโ€”with all the costs and potential inconveniences that come with thatโ€”for the rest of its natural life, please don't.
