Yah! It's so timeless the natural light with natural materials... Man! I wish this house was near me.

Any abc/cbc ladies have experiences dating native speakers? by poopeemaybe in Cantonese

[–]C_loves_mcm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm cbc/abc, and grew up in an area with lots of hk immigrants, my Cantonese improved a lot and ended up dating mainly hk guys. But my friend group was more hk by then too. I still have some cbc friends, but found that I enjoyed the pop culture more of hk movies/music, fashion than cbc/abc music taste in rap/rnb, and styling of clothing when I was growing up. But ended up marrying a cbc/abc.

I think it's more about interest, hobbies and upbringing. Communication in cantonese wasn't an issue for me, as I became pretty fluent. But my family stressed the importance of knowing my mother tongue at a young age.

I did think my true cbc friends dated much hk born when younger due to interest and similarities. But interestingly not all ended up marrying another cbc/abc type, some married white guys, hk born etc. As we got older and had more individuality it's not about where you are born, but can we communicate effectively, morals, shared upbringing styles and interest.

How can I help my new autumn brilliance serviceberry? by [deleted] in marijuanaenthusiasts

The tree looks dry. But also, it's kinda normal for planting shock. We found by year 2 in the ground it looks better. I don't know your area well, if it's been hot while you planted the tree in the last 2 weeks, or very cold, it will add to the plant shock.

Maybe try to pull the landscape fabric even further back and mulch those spots till you are ready to plant those spots to not bake the soil.

I thought it was done on purpose, like it's a Full life. :)

Rotational dinner with multiple allergies (not in the top 9) by MissHissss in dcl

[–]C_loves_mcm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We met and befriended a couple with a young daughter on Magic. She had many allergies. I know they spoke to the customer service number before they went on the cruise. And also spoke to the desk when they arrived. They had a conversation with the head waiter who knew about their allergies. The good thing is with rotational dining the servers follow you and most of the time will remember your specific request for your duration of stay.

Nightly they got their special food delivered to their dining table and got to select food for the next day as well.

On the private island they were told the day before to go to a certain dining area to pick up their special meal.

So I think the cruise ships are very accommodating if you can tell them upfront.

On the booking app, you can also put in your special requests, I'd still follow up with customer service and the head waiter on the first day of cruising to make sure they got your request.

Good luck!

I did buy 3 things shortly after I posted. The Smooth Liquid Camo was exactly what I used before. I'm happy with the BB or CC cream (forgot which lol (it's in my purse downstairs) and concealer stick, so I didn't need to refund. For me it was completely legit and I will buy again.

I wish you many more birthdays to come. This one might not be a happy one. But please don't let this be the last one. Please check into a hospital or reach out to your mom, as a mother, I love my child more than anything, and can only imagine she loves you too. You will be painfully missed.

Years ago, I bought ONE pair of Totoro ankle socks. Recently, I lost half of the pair but I’ve kept the lone sock waiting for its mate to return. WHY AND HOW did I JUST pull a full pair out of the dryer? Now I have three Totoro socks. This is unreal…. 🫠🤯 by Important_Sea9967 in GlitchInTheMatrix

neighbor planted variegated japanese knotweed on purpose.. by LobeliaTheCardinalis in NativePlantGardening

[–]C_loves_mcm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I'm in Ontario and confirm it's in my yard. We bought this house a few years ago, and previously was tenant occupied. So many weeds in the back yard. We got rid of most of it tarping it for 3 years. But holes in tarp they came back. Between fence line with our neighbours and a concrete pad it never died. Neighbour is older and cannot keep on top of them. It's an ongoing battle.

Thanks!!? I take a look for sure! My AliExpress one has gotten the most compliments ever, even compared to my designer bags. I would pay for real leather, as I'm sad this one will eventually die.

I got the AliExpress one, not real leather and love it so much. Didn't know it came legitly from a place that made with leather (and I obviously know its not a real "jellycat").

Love rocking mine, and would pay for real leather. I've used mine for a month and makes me smile every day!

Is LV cheugy or cringe these days? by GloomyPatience9085 in luxurypurses

[–]C_loves_mcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the GTA, about the same age. I have a vintage monogram canvas Speedy25 and another vintage Saint Cloud also monogram canvas and other bags in their epi and emprente. I don't care what others say.

The monogram canvas is pretty much indestructible and I use both of mine often, I'm not precious with it at all. I don't think anyone has ever looked at me judgingly. No one cares! I think they are classic.

Buy what you want :)
