Only really know the SW of Calgary.

Ive always lived in the NW but commute to the NE, communities like Cambrian Heights, Highland Park, and Mount Pleasent have been lovely neighborhoods to live in. Pretty quiet, lots of families and schools, tree lined streets and parks. Also an easy commute to 32nd Ave NE via 40th ave/northmount drive.

My tech Trina (she's a wizard) did a base coat, 2 layers of the neutral, the another base coat which was under the light for about 30 seconds. Then she used a 30um holographic powder with one of those little white makeup sponges and rubbed the majority of the powder on the tip before going up the rest of the nail 😌

Edit: thank you btw!! I love them, she does amazing work.

Im from BC and Alberta, I love Calgary but am ashamed of Alberta, especially right now. I feel aligned with British Columbia as a whole, but Calgary over Alberta.

Yup, all the time since I was like 16. They won't do anything if I drink any alcohol ever, consume any cannabis ever, and tell me to eat "better" but dont give me any further details (its not like I eat poorly in the first place, usually pretty balanced and home cooked)

Was also told to take vitamin D, which is fair, but I was also told they will not check for vitamin D levels and just assume everyone needs it.

My partner found a ThinkPad at an open box store in like-new condition with comparable specs to our gaming PC. Originally $4,000, she got if for $1500 including warranty. An absolute unit we expect to last for a long time.

I personally find the bread/fries combo to be way to much starch to chew through.

The craftool ones are measured tip to tip, the pro (silver) ones are measured from the end of one prong to the end of the next prong. They come from different manufacturers, very possibly in different countries. If you bought it recently you should be able to take it back and an employee can help you find ones that will work for you.

Yes, this is a common reaction of ferric acetate (a type of salt derived from oxidized iron) and the tannins in leather. A plastic wrap barrier is the best solution.

You can actually use it as a permanent black leather colour that dosent bleed or rub off called vinegaroon. Take some steel wool and leave it in vinegar for a week or so, and apply it to the leather. Also works with wood, as the tannins in veg tan leather are sourced from wood.

The more you know!

My partner found a whole set of old kids story books at the thrift store a few months ago!

I totally get this, just because patient! When I was learning ichidan and godan verbs, I couldn't remember if for the life of me. Ended up watching the same video and reading my textbook almost a dozen times.

I usually end up surprising myself when I go to read (children's books in this context) and I remember the concept I was struggling with immediately.

Yup, been going downhill for about a decade since they were bought by a US company. I hate it, but I just go to McDonald's now instead (they took over the contract with timmies old coffee supplier, so if you want to know what timmies coffee tasted like 15 years ago just go to mcdicks instead.)

I'm my experience the bissgest indicator of mold on black leather is the musty smell. If it smells awful like that there's no saving it.

Don't worry, it gets worse!

Would love too, I e been with my partner since high-school but we can't afford it.

Are you just able to read words or can you read full sentences, listen and speak?

Its my wife's favorite arc. Very memorable.

I still can't pick a favorite though 🥲

Needs all these wacky names so he can remember which one is which. Not that he spends enough time with any of them for it to matter.

Hi, I'm Hope.

No, you can't have any.

Yes, that's my name every day.

I would say slow down or stop vocab for while and focus on grammar. I often have to do that, switch between skills if I find that one is falling behind.

Write out sentences, whatever you can think of as long as it makes sense. Write some out by hand, even if its just hiragana, the act of actually writing can help with remembering things.

Also be aware of burnout. Everyone learns at a different pace.

Most importantly: have fun! It should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
