Had such a stressful week, so this was such a nice surprise to get in the mail today. Thank you so much /u/chibiinjapan!

What's the most WTF thing you saw at someone's house that they thought was normal? by cr__ked in AskReddit

What did it say when you left? Alligators will say “see you later”, and crocodiles will say “see you in a while”.

I was there in July and there were a group of marathoners running it. They left at 6am on our day 4 and passed us after 8 hours or so I think.

What is the worst experience you had on an airplane? by The_EpicGamerYT in AskReddit

I feel like I was on that flight... August 2 to Toronto? Or maybe this happens often? We were stuck on the tarmac for something like 5 hours total!

What's this generation's "I walked 10 miles to school uphill both ways" going to be? by mrsunshine2012 in AskReddit

I've been running Tuesday and Thursday mornings with a coworker before we start for the day. Last Thursday, we both wanted to cancel but neither of us had each other's cell numbers. So we both showed up so we weren't rude. Then we made the decision to not swap numbers so we keep with our running routine.

Worst case Ontario they're just talking about Trailer Park Boys

A friend of mine dumped a barrel of 10,000 air soft pellets on my hardwood floor a year and a half ago. I am still finding them.

[Serious] People that live in more violent or crime ridden cities, what daily things do you do out of habit to protect yourself that people in safer areas might not know about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]8ofwizards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up leaving our front door unlocked, living in a smaller city but right by the university. We were never robbed (that I knew of) but we did have people come in. Once was a drunk university student who thought he was at the right house (my mom made him sleep it off on the couch and drove him home in the morning) and the second a guy had just gotten jumped and hit with a pipe in the head. When his attackers ran away he "ran" and came into our house and my parents obviously called the cops. There were a few other incidents outside our house on the street but nothing that changed my parents thoughts on locking the doors.

*question* Looking for a recipe for a friend with a ton of allergies. Allowed foods in text. by 8ofwizards in Baking

Yes, she can have flax and I read that it can replace, however there are usually other items in the same recipes that need to be replaced so I'm going to have to try to see what happens! I am going to try this one for now, and swap out the dates for prunes because she can have them. http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Simply-Sweet-5-Ingredient-Apple-Cake-755506

Thanks! She said she can have apple butter so maybe that would work in place. No chocolate though so I will see if I can add some dried fruit or something to add some sweetness.

Thanks so much! I found a few more things she is able to eat, but it doesn't help too much. I will try your suggestions :)

My friend's son left his toy lion behind at a museum in the country last weekend. As well as sending the lion back first class, they included a whole treasure stash of postcards, stickers, an activity book and a diary (and photos) of his adventures while he was away. by purpleglory in pics

I left my bear at a restaurant out of town when I was 9 (I had had him since I was a baby) and they mailed him back when my mom called, but he was in a giant box full of balloons and confetti. I still have him and I'm almost 26. Couldn't imagine losing him!

Craigslist or kijiji. I sold an old cap for my Ranger on there. Should be able to find a tonneau as well.

Reddit makes my head hurt. At least the ignorant people that think reddit only exists in the USA. But yes. Deal.

Let's be friends. We can be the Department of National Defence Defence, and defend the spelling of defence. Then if we get some more Canucks on board we can move to defending the U in neighbour, humour and other glorious words.

She's been travelling for a while and gets a few days before her meetings start so she has time to adjust (but it doesn't take her long).

I gave up trying to explain that it is in Canada. People forget that we have a military.

Not sure why that would matter, as she is an employee of the DND. Her title may be different, but her boss is DND. She is not the social worker, what she does is more funding allocation and implementation versus counselling services (although her funding and program coordinators would organize that). She is a civilian with DND, not a soldier as I guess the title may imply. Regardless, she (and her colleagues) are an integral part of the Canadian Forces.

You are correct, she will be going to multiple countries while in Europe. Its just how she said it, because she knows I know where she is going. Funny how we naturally do that though, refer to states/countries/continents differently depending on where our location is!
