Tuesday, December 31, 2019 at 5:20PM My washing machine decided to quit on me today. Before I go looking off island, does anyone have one they are wanting to get rid on island?
Thank you,
Mindy Thorne
Tuesday, December 31, 2019 at 5:19PM We trimmed our Bay tree, so, there are lots of fresh leaves for the taking.
The branches are piled against the bank at the entrance to 161 Pilkey Point.

Monday, December 30, 2019 at 12:30PM Does anyone want some very lightly used jigsaw puzzles? To help entertain in this rainy winter?
We need room for the new ones we got for the holidays. Free of course.

Monday, December 30, 2019 at 12:29PM This evening I received three phone calls in quick succession from 1-888-872-2422, which the call display identified as CIBC Bank, with the normal CIBC robot voice giving me three different verification codes for online transactions, and telling me, if I did not make these transactions, I was to call the same number (which is numerically very similar to CIBC). We called the number suggested in the message and realized that we were being asked to give our card number. Fortunately we stopped in time. We then called CIBC's real number 1-800-465-2422. They checked and confirmed that they had made no calls to us. Later, we received another two calls, this time both from Ontario, 226-545-0058.
Please be alert to this scam - it is very believable.

Wednesday, December 25, 2019 at 10:02PM It's time once again to Thank you!! for your continued support of cash register receipts from the 49th Parallel grocery.
The receipts go to the Harvest House food bank in Chemainus. A percentage of the cash register receipts is calculated and redeemed for 49th gift certificates and distributed to food bank recipients.
If you would like to drop off your 49th receipts a shoe box is located right beside the Post office drop box for your convenience.
Many thanks again.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
