The rule is less “three strikes and forget ‘em” and likely more “three strikes and now you know to protect yourself”.

Canadian passport rules state that you aren’t allowed to smile at all. But we can at least wear our glasses.

You might want to have a chat with your phone company then - if this is a thing in the UK, then they should be updating the phone networks.

no, they don’t. If you hang up and wait any amount of time over roughly ten seconds, the telephone company’s machines end the call. No telemarketer can override this.

Nah, they got to learn about the wasps instead.

You should also probably mention to be aware of any bugs that might have moved into the planter/pot. Especially if you live with people that freak out to the smallest and or spider. Many bugs burrow into soil in the fall, and some come back out in the spring in a completely different form.

Get an old door (recycled from someone doing a renovation, or a new one if you can afford it) - solid core is better, but hollow interior doors will work too. no windows, and the least amount of features as possible (ie flat). Then buy four legs and attache them. Make sure the handle and latch are removed, and you…

Nope, 100% true story... actually happened. Lost my first handheld GPS device that same trip (was one of these beasts from the late ‘90's)

You’ll probably be surprised how far mice can actually travel. I used to go deer hunting once a year, and the cabin always had mice when we showed up. The first few nights were busy as traps would be going off every few hours (the cabin was empty except for a few weeks a year - it likely doesn’t exist any more, but…

We were on vacation a few weeks ago in Punta Cana and this kid and his family were walking past my wife and I, and she noticed the kid was looking around and not paying attention to where he was walking and that was going to walk into her, so she tried to swerve to avoid him, and they still bumped into each other. My…

I get to do the majority of the cooking at home, so I completely understand.

Best reply for someone who doesn’t like your food is to tell them it is their turn tomorrow... or “its supposed to be tough, weakling”

the closer you are to the north or south pole, the more of an effect it would have when it changes.

Removal of the jack apparently also makes it far easier to waterproof without making the device thicker.

Too much water near the stem can cause fungus, rot, other problems. you want the soil wet/moist, not the actual plant, not pooled water in the cell. Ideally he’d have a buried cistern to catch excess garden water that runs off from the garden to use when there is a drought, but that is a lot of planning/digging.

My brother-in-law is a captain on cargo ships in the Great Lakes and has a bunch of these too for his region. He has a really cool one showing the depths of the lakes top view like a topo map and also from a side view and it really shows the elevation changes and how they drain into the next.

I could have mentioned going to Tim’s first but 1: I, a Canadian, don’t like their coffee and 2: that would involve getting off my chesterfield, locking up the beavers out back, scraping the ice and snow off my snowmobile, watering my moose, and putting on my toque-pants.

I’ve heard a few impersonating RCMP officers too, saying they’ll be sending someone out to arrest them if you don’t pay up. They get really irate and rude when you say “Okay, I’ll go grab a beer and wait for you on my front porch.”

If it came with one of those little envelopes for you to send them something back, where is says “Postage Prepaid”- fill it with glitter, baby powder, or anything else that will piss off whoever is sending you the junk mail. Up until the mid ‘90's you could attach that envelope to a box of rocks and it would be…

Why is The US so freaking behind on social acceptability all the time??? We dealt with this crap in Canada back in the’90's. We even legalized same-sec marriage back in 2005, and a lot of other types of discrimination in the workplace (and out of it) were codified into law a long time ago (oh, you have pink hair - so…
