Canadian here too, and I read this and the comments with a slight feeling that things seem to go a little easier here without really being able to pinpoint the differences. I think maybe it's that the natural assumption, at least in Vancouver is that the person you are talking to was not born here (regardless of skin…

It probably increases his interest, because he can tell that you genuinely like him.

This is absoloute complete bullshit. For whatever reason (most likely that their own lives aren't going well atm) these people are not capable of being good friends. Grief is a very strange thing and it may appear to others that it has passed, I can tell you from my own experience that when they say time heals, they…

So I don't think you were in the wrong. However, the only thing that comes to mind is that maybe your SIL felt slighted, because to her it may have appeared you didn't want her there at all. Going forward, if this comes up again and it probably will I would recommend that when they arrive do take 3-5 minutes (can be…

Up in Canada we all get wasted.

Those tits are unreal.

Lulz, men! My bf and actually my female roommate and her bf don't put the lid down!!! Drives me batty! My toothbrush is in there, eek!

Definitely some truth to this. I'm just starting to realize it actually. Parents used to spend down to the dime of what they had available - $ + bank overdraft + credit cards etc and we often had to borrow toilet paper from family or neighbours. Ever had baking soda biscuits? And when I moved out at 19 I was so used…

OMG THE CRUMBS. Or, don't wipe down the stove (after I cough *lysol wipes* to remind you) with one grand wipe and turn to me, grin and say "all done!" When there are still grease stains from the meal you cooked. I've talked this stuff over a wee bit with my lt bf, as in an ideal world I see him working part time and…

iTunes University! Check it out!

I really think this can have a detrimental effect on self-esteem in the long term. I mean yes in the short term: you're making your baby uncomfortable, exposing them to possible safety concerns (allergies/choking) and as they should, anyone who buys this except as some kind of joke looks like an asshat. However, long…

This shit is shocking to me. Thank the stars that no one I know has gotten married or is planning to anytime too. Seriously. I'm 22 and broke as fuck and have a very hard time imagining a point in my life where going to multiple weddings aka outfit/travel/day off costs plus possible wedding party costs alone would…

Uhm...yes. SOMEONE is tacky.

TOTALLY GOING TO START CALLING MY RAG SHARK WEEK TOO *tips hat*

Ah, so glad to see this being brought up! Same here, family really didn't keep kosher and only one side of the family was "Jewish" but even still I just never really ate bacon growing up or developed a taste for it. I do not find it tasty or "worth it" in calories/fat as I totally agree it smells far better than it…

So she gave you a Brazilian after you specificed a Bikini wax? Not cool. My advice for next time is to go elsewhere or atleast specify when making the appointment that you are more comfortable with someone else. You could also mention it when you call in for another appointment if you do go back, explain it was more…

YES. So much yes!

I think it's because men have a secret fear that women wouldn't "feel" their penises. So when a woman can't recall the details of her sexual assault, they are flummoxed that she "wouldn't remember". Because that means dicks aren't the all-mighty tools men think they are.

Wow. This makes me legit sad.

Yah, I mean everyone has their little 'quirks' likes/dislikes so to speak but I think the right person really doesn't care about it all too much. As in, they express pleasure when you do it, but if you don't it's nbd too. :) live and learn sistah! Sucks that you went through that though. Blech, douches.
