That is such a literal opportunity to yell ‘get off my lawn!’ hahaha

....Taps is the worst, all of their beer tastes spoiled and always has the half dozen times I’ve been dragged there. There is great craft beer in and around Niagara, but none of that great beer is at Taps. Miserable quality control. I don’t know if I’d be sending tourists to downtown NF, but in the area I will always…

There are excellent trails on the Canadian side also!! Definitely works out the hamstrings climbing up and down the gorge. 

Black flies are only if you’re far enough north/west in Ontario that it never really gets properly warm. MOSQUITOES THO.

Younger me thought that I just didn’t sweat much. Then, my dude turned me on to actually drinking enough water to not be chronically dehydrated. Turns out, I’m a very sweaty person!!

I have never seen a party barge but wowowow you’ve evoked an image. Bachelorette parties where they’re all told to wear the same general outfit (denim jorts, short dresses of a certain colour, I saw a cabin one once with everyone wearing the same red buffalo plaid) creep me right out.

“Since U Been Gone” is definitely the best Kelly Clarkson party song, but a bit offbrand for a bachelorette party. Maybe “My Life Would Suck Without You”?

YES! 100% to all of these. Definitely Gold Digger for the Kanye. 

The one time I went to a bachelorette party that was adjacent to these stereotypes (we had no penis paraphernalia, but we made dumb t-shirts, had feather boas and the original plan was to go to a drag show), the bride had spent most of her early 20's being really into emo/screamo/‘scene’ bands....and also Eurodance.

I’m reading a novel that includes this series of events in the plot - a girl getting sick after being cut, and there’s strong resistance to taking her to hospital. (The novel is Sweetness in the Belly by Camilla Gibb.) In the voices of those characters, ‘the hospital is where people die’, so they don’t want to go. A…

“I don’t understand this well and will say so freely, but I’m going to riff on it anyways to make you scared like I am.”

I recently bought a pair of shoes that are the same light rubber foam material as Crocs....but are not made by Crocs. They’re Native brand, which I understand is a Canadian company, and I’ve gotten a bunch of compliments on them already. Mine are black, but they come in a jillion colours and they’re VERY comfy. 

I have a pair of nearly-flat, low-heeled Swedish Hasbeens that I found on extreme clearance sale and I love them. In reviews online, people have commented that they’re the most difficult kind to walk in, but I don’t find this? This may also be due to the fact that they are not the first pair of wooden soled shoes I…

It’s a Brazilian wax, but with a sugar treatment instead of the wax. I’ve never had either kind of Brazilian tbh because wowowowow owwwww.

Hard work and determination doesn’t matter as much as having money or connections, and while it’s been this way for a while, we’re now starting to see the divide more clearly. 

That gold is coming back into style 100% (I read a couple of days ago that various yellows are to Gen Z as ‘millennial pink’ was to, uh, millennials) but the polyester/style is still bad.

Here it is, the perfect easy weeknight beer, Side Launch’s Mountain Lager.

Hahahaha ‘highly flammable’ is perfect! Where I live is not terribly fashion-oriented (the mood is MEC and Birkenstocks) and Winners is not really “high end”, so I think you must have seen these clothes at an earlier stage of not being wanted. They’re really struggling to sell them if they’re clogging up the system…

Does the U.S. have Winners stores? They’re like Marshalls, which we also have now, but Winners was around before.

Hahahahaha while I agree that Finnish is much more about the umlauts than consonant combos with j’s (that’s Swedish) ....what you wrote, phonetically, sounds a lot like ‘fuck news’. Fah-ahk-kuh newsi. (Finnglish always tacks an i on the end, idk why.)
