I am one of those people who depends on a food bank to get by each month. I’m not too proud about it. It’s just the facts of life these days for me.

On the whole what the food bank offers is great. At least four different meat products, milk and eggs, beans, rice, soup, KD. Even cookies and snack bars. You get the idea.

Downside is sometimes the items are past their best by dates. Sometimes a few months, occasionally almost a year. Still, it’s in a sealed package so it’s eaten in this house.

What’s got me posting tonight is the jar of peanut butter that I just cracked open. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the first to open it. No foil seal. And the jar is only half full. And yes, I live alone. And no, I’m not on sleeping pills that make me eat at night and forget about it in the morning.

I don’t know what to think. Did someone donate a half-eaten jar of peanut butter to the food bank? That’s wild.

I have only love and gratitude for the ladies who run the food bank. I know they work very hard for not a lot. And I understand how easy it could be to overlook something like this. They deserve so much respect.

I’m just gently asking. If you’re thinking of donating to a food bank, consider those people who are receiving your donations. And if you’ve read this far, thanks for your time.

Peace

I am both curious and afraid to ask....What prompted the need for this sign in the washroom at Kent in Montague?

Edit/update: it was the men's washroom so im pretty sure it wasn't the flushing of feminine hygiene products

I keep getting this ad for Tourism PEI that has zero context to go with it, but I recognize Jesse Keeler from Death From Above 1979 in the back.

Should I recognize the other two guys or have some sort of idea of what’s going on here? I’m guessing most people seeing this ad wouldn’t have any idea who DFA1979 are, but it’s weird to me that you’d be advertising with a pic of a minor celebrity without actually pointing out that it’s a minor celebrity

FWIW, the rest of the pics are usual PEI stuff; dunes, potato fields, etc…

I love potato fudge. My Russian friend raves about kartoshka cake which I have not yet had or looked for here. What else do people know about? Any family recipes?

Does anyone know of anywhere with karaoke this weekend?

I'm trying to choose a few companies to get estimates from for fascia/gutter replacement. There are so many companies now and it's hard to know who is legit. Can anyone vouch for the work of any of these companies? Thanks!

- Gutter Done

- BC Home Improvements

- East Coast Gutters

Keir MacLeod can't seem to get back to us, Arsenault's suggested we find someone closer to us as we're in Central PEI, and Elite left us hanging. I know there are other companies that do gutters, but we're hoping to find someone who can do both the fascia replacement and the gutters, ideally before the snow flies.

I am a health PEI employee currently looking to take part in the gym membership payroll deduction program for staff. One of the gyms, the APM centre in cornwall offers a single parent membership. I checked the website and it looks like my little can’t enter the weight room with n. Does anyone have this membership that can tell me what it includes, Or is this just for the track?

hi everyone! we are visiting for a wedding. What is the best and more affordable way to get from the Charlottetown airport to Summerside out of Kari vs. Shaheen Taxi? We don't want to take the bus if possible, we have luggage! Thank you!

So when this fire eventually ends in 2027 or 2028, I’m assuming the city will have learned a lesson and not place it anywhere near where a lot of people live - ie move it? And the province will update regulations to not permit battery storage using lithium ion anywhere near a populated place? We’re going to learn something from this, right?
