You’re right, but I’m generally ignoring those headlines - when it’s colder than the poles, who cares by how much? That doesn’t actually help me live my life - minus 20 is better than minus 30, but I’m staying inside either way.

Also, people are crossing the border by walking over in the DEAD OF FUCKING WINTER. I know the USA is cold right now and all that, but Canada is generally colder, and with 1/10th the population on more land, it’s generally further between cities/towns/any kind of settlement.

I do that and have no talent. I’m sure the littlest winesnob won’t bring it up in therapy.

Well, except the Clintons, unless you believe some especially dark corners of the web.

I was introduced to this lately, and thought I might share it here. This performance also goes gloriously off the rails, but I don’t think Patti is to blame:

This. I coached little girls and listened to other coaches tell them to only eat light cream cheese. Fuck that. I told them to eat lightly before the performance (I didn’t want barfing), but after that it was open season on bagels. Ten year olds don’t need that kind of complex.

Might be the particular store(s) you were visiting. There has been significant improvement at a lot of store, though I don’t doubt there are some store that time forgot left.

When was that? There’s been a renovation boom at LCBOs in the last few years.

Panic is good. Kids are a big, life changing deal, and it’s important to know what you’re getting into. Too many people have unrealistic expectations about parenting and child rearing, especially how exhausting newborns can be.

I haven’t read the whole link (littlest snob is getting up from his nap), but holy shit. That is aweful. The idea that the very stress of having to work harder to achieve the same results as a white person can have adverse health effects is both terrifying, and somehow unsurprising.

The Mr. And I were remarking on the whole Clarkson punches a production assistant thing a little while ago, and the whole thing sounds strangly quaint. I mean he punched someone, he didn’t pull out his dick or employ a bunch of ex spies to quash his terrible behaviour. It’s almost...nice?

These are easily handled as the corporal noted already. A nice benefit to annexation (aside from universal healthcare), is that politics usually takes a backseat to sports on Xmas. The world junior hockey tournament is on, and as it’s national, there’s not even any BS about which team to cheer for (Canada, duh). So…

Ask the Mr, I sure don’t understand. Although the time of day certainly factors in. Busy Sunday is bad grocery time.

OMG, it even had the danger bay plug at the beginning. I miss that show :(

Awesome, thanks! I’m not selling anything, just looking for some cool stuff to put on my son’s wall (he already has a bunch of old space art).

Do you know by chance if this is in the public domain? As in, if I have it printed and hang it on a wall, is that okay?

Nope, not your wife, but damn I feel for her. It sucks being the one who always gets sick.

It is indeed a superpower. I’ve only seen it fail on him perhaps once in the decade plus we’ve been together, and he’s the kind of guy that has worked through food poisoning. Meanwhile, he’s seen me through flus and colds and a chronic illness that left me on my ass until I figured out how to manage it.

In defense of men, my husband generally shrugs at colds, while they always knock me on my ass. For some reason, he seems to get ‘the snuffles’, while I get fever, cough, aches and the whole deal.

I’ll just leave this here:
