I think there is treatment available, check with your doctor.

No, talk to the manager at GNC, but you have to draw a picture of the curvature.

The NBC article didn’t mention it but Jimmy Buffet had Canadian ancestry (sorry about that). This CTV article talks about his Newfoundland and Nova Scotia family.

We have so much in common…

I’ve learned over time that telling canadians that i have family in nefoundland is like bragging about having kin in appalachia. But its true all the same (the canadian part). Also branched out to pei

I think Newfoundlanders are cool: I wouldn’t say the same about folks in Appalachia! My wife and I spent a few weeks on The Rock a few years ago and met so many friendly, interesting characters. They have so much joie de vivre.

Wish more Americans would visit Newfoundland to see how different the inhabitants are from the stereotypical image of Canadians. We have our regional differences just like the Americans do.

Many of us got a good glimpse into Newfoundlanders from the hit musical Come From Away. They certainly were a welcoming group.

@NerdAlert is Smash Mouth one of your guilty pleasure 90s bands? I was never a big fan but they made some catchy tunes.

Not one of my favorites, but I have a few of their tunes and they’re fun listens. Either way, sad news, far too young.
