My friend applied there after graduating University because he’s a big dufus, not because he was desperate for a job. They wouldn’t hire him, saying he wouldn’t like it (due to his higher education). How do they know what he would like?!

Can’t you just buy the Happy Meal toy outright? I nkw McD’s rules are different for us Canucks, but we can just buy the toy for like 95 cents or something.

Me neither! Hooray! (In fact, I didn’t have McDonald’s until I was 12. I had to sneak there with a friend unbeknownst to my healthy parents.)

I srsly believe that TO is a weird black hole for all things weird and dating. Maybe it’s just a “large population” thing, but my single friends in TO have terrible/funny stories about trying to navigate there. Move out West where people are less odd. Or at least more upfront about it. Ha.

Do you never go out to a restaurant? Just wondering how that fits into the story of your life?

That’s always been my thought process too, I can get a mani-pedi for $40 + tax (CDN dollars) at a “quick” place, or pay $125 at a “fancy” salon, with exactly the same result. After reading the article, I am wondering if that kind of labour practice happens here as well? I like to think that where I live (what with our…

Whups, sorry. Should have at least guessed based on “saltboy” or used the non-gender specific pronoun “parent”. Lol, I’m not a good jezzie.

The upper lip takes a bit of getting used to, it is a painful area, and takes a bit longer than a quick wax. But not “life is over” pain, and it’s a nice result. I even do the sideburn area and cheeks, as well as hairline. A friend with an amazing smooth hairline once told me she plucks it or else she felt like she…

I am surprised no one came out as a threading advocate. I love threading. Once every 2-3 weeks and my skin looks smooth and younger. I am late 30’s with fine fuzzy blonde hair that has def gotten thicker with age. I can’t wax b/c of breakouts from the waxing, but threading is much better and so cheap ($15 full face,…

I was told by a laser clinic I wasn’t a candidate either, blond hair (well I’m a redhead but I wanted to get rid of the blond facial hair) and pale Irish skin.

drums. I got my niece a drum kit. I am sure her parents love me for that.

You’re a better mom than I. I told my son, who at 4 was told he shouldn’t like purple because it’s a girl colour, that the kid who said it said what he did because his parents didn’t love him.

Beware! Flying cross the ocean tends to get you a better “quality” of flight attendant than flying cross country, esp. BA, they seem more professional. Make sure you check the carriers rules on carry-on and try to adhere to them. Get there early early and request priority boarding. I have seen some horrible FA’s be so…

We don’t have Uber in my city (yet). An acquaintance is a sex crimes investigator in the city. There were SEVERAL sexual assaults on women over the 10 day period of our annual summer festival, perpetrated by licensed cab drivers. In cabs with partitions. They didn’t make the media, for whatever reason. I only know,…

No! Those are not good. Nononononono.

i don’t live there, but worked in and out of there for a few months, and i appreciate it. :)

hahaha! No, she was a hockey wife after my time in the trenches, and all reports were she was a really sweet girl (same town though!) The offending wife in question was European, not Duff!

I shouldn’t have scared you off! The NWT is a gorgeous landscape. Really and truly wild lands. Just wear a bug jacket. They are a lifesaver.

Right?! Blackflies have NOTHING on the horsefly. Good god. They are huge. Like small dogs live in fear. Blackflies are midges. Midge includes a few species of small flies.

Totally not related, a co worker bought the domain “JesusCheeses” years ago as a joke to make “holy” cheese to serve at communion because the “crackers” were too boring on their own. I don’t think she kept it though. It still makes me laugh. (I know this serious story might not be the place to share, but I am…
