Does any of this surprise anyone?  

Bingo.  She’s the one who sank good money after bad and she wants it back from desperate people who don’t know any better.

Average carrying cost on this house would be $2500/month (insurance/utilities/property taxes/snow removal).

She’d be lucky to get 1M in this collapsed housing and job market.  And the house is fucking hideous.  She wants her interior design money back.

LOL, it’s fucking cold in Alberta, average heating costs alone would be $500/month.  House insurance is another $500/month.  You’d need a snow plow and a vehicle that can traverse ice and snow 6 months/year.  And there’s no jobs there so there’s that.

Nope, this lady sunk 1.7M into this hideous monstrosity in the height of the Alberta oil boom which has now crashed. She’d be lucky to get 1.1M because no one has jobs anymore. So she created this righteous lottery to recoup her 1.7M. She’s no dummy. The monthly carrying costs for this “free” house would be average…

Tunic + leggings are my go to.  Jeans are far too uncomfortable for me.

Maybe Louis should have cared about his daughters before choosing his dick over his reputation and career.

Some guy somewhere is waiting for a knock on the door once that paternity test comes back.

So no chance of a Pot Psychology reunion then?  Damn.

Great story and great group of friends. Similar thing happened at a friends BBQ with couples, my friend decided to finally take a mouthy husband down, ended up getting suplexed. We do try.

My thoughts exactly.

Time to switch banks.

Aw, don’t be hard on yourself. Human beings are still animals despite having fancy phones. In the olden days, if you did call your ex, he probably wouldn’t be home to pick up the phone, and without call display, there was no way to get busted for horny indiscretions.

Yup.  Honey can also keep for a long time in the pantry.

Samsies. Also, just use it on everything so it doesn’t have any time to go bad.

I’ve always kept my Maple Syrup on the counter, but I’m Canadian and it goes on and in everything.  So it does not linger for any length of time.

You’re doing the right thing by being single! Coupling up requires blind faith that cohabiting benefits both people. My bosses come to work only to avoid being at home with their partner! My workload (mainly emotional but also physical) has been reduced by 50% since my divorce.  

Old as well.  I checked out of the world’s parenting styles at amber necklaces.  Seemingly science-minded parents throwing logic out the window and tying a talisman around their kids throats.  I’m out.

Can safely recommend: Helen Oxenbury: There’s going to be a baby.
