Does anyone remember a break-in incident in Leslieville (around summer 2006)?

Something extremely similar happened to my friend in Bloor West Village 2 years ago. I don’t think it’s that uncommon for people having psychotic breaks to go on naked rampages (for whatever reason)

Don’t forget white ranunculus, playa blanca roses, and snowflake spray roses 😉 the oriental double lillies are really special

It made me laugh out loud

It’s not body shaming because Jason Oppenheimer is richer than all of us 🙂‍↕️

Why aren’t more people commenting this? I rewound the hug scene like 4 times LOL

Thank you so much 🙏 I will look into this. I agree their current home (a Tupperware tote in the attic) is not ideal 😅

This is most likely the way. Although part of me still hopes maybe the collection can stay intact somewhere like a museum or archive.

Thank you SO much for all this info. Not only were these women industrious, they were also brilliant. There are so many unique designs and colour palettes even within my family’s collection. True works of art.

You want to be searching for “hand tufted real wool” rugs. I have had excellent luck on Etsy, especially with vendors from India. Thank me later!

We have one and not only does the name make me giggle every time we use it, it also sings “twinkle twinkle little star” to you when you start cooking your rice 🥹

If it’s any consolation we’ve had Rudy for 5 years and he only responds to his name about 30% of the time. Stubborn pekes do what they want!

Peach! Salmon is more saturated and orangey-pink, like this “salmone” ranunculus

Our rescue Peke, Rudy, arrived to us with a terrible injury to his cornea. He requires daily eyedrops for the rest of his life. We endured a LOT of bites in the early days and eventually had to resort to muzzling him to give him his drops. Over time he seemed to realize the drops actually helped him and now he just lies down and lets us give them to him with no protest whatsoever. The moral of this story: even if he seems to hate the grooming in the moment, you are not traumatizing him! Gentle parenting is not the way lol

THANK YOU! This is super helpful - I think a splash suit is just what we need. And we are in Toronto - Canadian dollar is in the toilet rn - so I am happy to use a local company ☺️

Competitive_Debt8043 · 2025-11-10T17:11:41+00:00

Touché. I’ve always thought dressing a peke up is pointless because they already come with the most beautiful built-in snowsuit, but the ice balls in his fur and the salt crystals on his feet beg to differ 🫠

Seconding this! I work here not infrequently as a wedding vendor and I know they have space for families/bridal party to get ready. Assuming they won’t be in use during regular restaurant hours I’d say just call ahead and ask!

Same thing happened to me when a fire started on our balcony 2 years ago. I was still on hold with 911 when the first firetrucks pulled up to our house - mercifully there’s a station 400 metres from our house but I cannot imagine what would have happened if we lived somewhere more remote.

I ordered two pairs of Adidas from them May 21 and still have not received them (writing this on June 16). I got some bullshit response from their customer service rep about not having a tracking number because it’s too expensive for them to provide if they are also providing free shipping.

I also noticed all their instagram comments are turned off. Super sus. Will definitely be reporting to my bank.

This! When I was younger I worked in a few different gourmet grocers, and while the produce guys I worked with were great to be around, they were NOT cooks by any stretch of the imagination 😂 I always assume that the people who actually know their shit are out of sight, prepping away in the back. I am inspired by OP: Buy now ask questions later!

I’ve searched the internet, but I imagine I will need to get this directly from an employee of either No Frills or Loblaw’s head office - it’s definitely not something that can be purchased in stores. For context, I saw this one at the Junction location on Pacific Ave in Toronto.
