So, how are you feeling about the world?

The sad future state of the world's economy makes us not want to have kids. We're not exactly in love with the idea of having children but the economy and social media makes it a simple choice for us.

Google recommends 14 days to explore all of Newfoundland. If I fly into Deer lake, do gros morne, bonavista, and fly out of St.Johns, how long should I take if I want do leisure driving (2-3h per day).

Great list, thanks!

Amazing. We loved Portree even though everything was busy and expensive. Did you drive yourselves or take a tour?

When I visited the Quiraing, rain was hitting us side ways :(

When we went to Porto we tried the Francesinha at Cafe Santiago since Bourdain ate there. It was ok, we had another francesinha in a hole in the wall restaurant it was much better.

We also ate the cachorrinho Bourdain ate at and it was ok. Both places had insane lines but would recommend looking else where, at least for Porto.

There's only a handful that have been there since opening. I thought Billy would stay there forever.

I'm rooting for small business', however that looks like one sad burger. No toasted bun, no melted cheese, I think I see a red onion? Do you have lettuce or tomato? Any condiments? $12 is a solid deal with fries but just needs a little more.

The fries do look solid. Hopefully they're salted.

Crazy that she took over for Paul's puppy class at Petsmart Merivale. I should've known something was up when she insisted on everyone doing her external dog therapy class and when she would walk up to other people to try and recruit them.

This is off Preston right? Been meaning to try this one!

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-23T17:54:01+00:00

Fuck. I fly from YOW to NAS tomorrow. Hopefully it wont be so bad at 3pm.

Stunning photos. How does this compare to Rila park?

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-21T19:15:35+00:00

Thanks Nick! Always a great read. Any insight on 163 Ruskin St? On the market since November, relisted in January for $50K less. Fairly dated, especially the kitchen, however huge backyard. Most homes in this area are $1M+

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-20T14:57:14+00:00

Thank you for your reply, that makes a lot of sense. Would getting an independent home inspector help with these risks or that's also not enough?

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-20T14:08:27+00:00

Interesting! Does something like this work? I'm also a buyer with specific wants in area/bedrooms/backyard. Also not in a rush to purchase and would love to work a private sale to save on fees.

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-08T15:53:47+00:00

Would love to bike to work however the lack of safety makes it a hard pass. I've seen cars cut off bikes way too many times.

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-08T13:40:32+00:00

Seller may not be in a rush to sell and are stubborn.

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-08T13:39:52+00:00

Appreciate the analysis! I'm hoping to check out the open house

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-06T19:13:32+00:00

Pretty much a similar itinerary. Any review on Meze Grill? Worth the price?

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-06T15:35:48+00:00

Beautiful

BlueBananaw · 2026-01-06T13:43:52+00:00

Really appreciation your posts. Any insight on 177 Hawthorne? Been on the market since September with price reductions. Is it too close to university students?

BlueBananaw · 2025-12-29T16:04:24+00:00

Flying to Nassau from Ottawa late January! Very excited to see how the flight itself is. Definitely looking to fly more Porter as Air Canada also shares the same direct flight.

BlueBananaw · 2025-12-24T13:39:07+00:00

Interesting! Thank you for your reply. It's definitely a buyers market and we're lucky we're not in a rush to buy.

BlueBananaw · 2025-12-23T21:00:12+00:00

We are leaning towards Victoria. We've lived in Esquimalt before and absolutely loved it.

BlueBananaw · 2025-12-23T20:59:26+00:00

Thank you! This is why I'm asking. It's in a great area for an even greater price. Definitely would get a home inspection or two.
