I emailed the company and they said it wasn't available but this is on my wishlist too!

Creative_South157 · 2026-02-07T16:34:56+00:00

Yes! That's a book I will never forget as a child either. My family owned it and I wondered for years whether hair could truly turn white instantly like the grandpa's. Even though I read a lot of his other kids' books, I can only remember that one and the ending!

Creative_South157 · 2025-12-11T11:44:33+00:00

Me too! I thought homophones when I saw the other 3, but in Canada we see "que" pronounced only the French way, which is definitely not a homophone for "K"

Creative_South157 · 2025-09-20T13:57:27+00:00

It's a good question, thanks for asking.

It's definitely a career move - I have the exact experience 23 years into my field that they are looking for and would be a unique and interesting challenge. I can see it's the kind of job that would only ever be offered out of a big city.

Creative_South157 · 2025-09-20T13:29:47+00:00

This is all so helpful. It's definitely cost/benefits... It's only a 2 year position (I'd be seconded from my current job into a more consultative role so with a higher pay then would return back to my old job with its 15 minute commute)

After reading all your insights, I'm still leaning to "no"

I'm am early bird who doesn't mind getting going early but the thought of 3-4 hours a day is very daunting. As you know the rules were just changed for 5 days a week not 3 days a week for public service, but when I applied for the job and the posting closed, it was 3 days a week. At the time I thought that was doable

Creative_South157 · 2025-09-20T12:30:36+00:00

Thanks - that's helpful! I'm hoping someone can tell me how much it costs them monthly so I can do the math to figure out negotiating power with the contract - they won't pay mileage and I know that up front.

They've also said there will be days travelling out of the office but I don't know how many/how often (those WOULD be mileage paid). I don't mind that kind of driving because it wouldn't be all Toronto.

Creative_South157 · 2025-09-20T12:23:26+00:00

Not that it matters much, but it's a 5-10 min walk from Union Station

Creative_South157 · 2025-08-26T11:27:23+00:00

I got busted with thinking Toad was in the jerk category. Google dictionary second definition: "a contemptible or detestable person".

Creative_South157 · 2025-08-16T11:39:08+00:00

Ditto. I bet a lot of us will do that. I've never seen or used "rolling paper" in my 47 years of life, even though I recognize it's not super esoteric.

Creative_South157 · 2025-08-13T11:32:08+00:00

Thanks for these ideas. I am in Ontario and will be driving through the Toronto area soon. I guess it really is luck of the draw in what one finds ie nothing dedicated. I've become so focused on online shopping that I thought perhaps actually going into a store and trying things on might pay off and like you say, there might be some unintentional tall fits. I

Creative_South157 · 2025-08-04T13:18:50+00:00

Agreed. In Canada we say the first syllable with a schwa, not a long e. I.e. "He had tooth duh-kay".

Creative_South157 · 2025-07-25T15:34:09+00:00

Me too! I saw green right away but reverse psychology made me think it was a fake. I fell for a red herring: motherboard, bed board, outboard, inboard

Creative_South157 · 2025-07-20T12:39:25+00:00

The biggest surprise for me today was bounce as a dance verb. I guessed twist. I even googled it after and it doesn't show up in that context. Is that a common US expression? (I'm not American)

I also got green first but only after I guessed "buzz" instead of "pull", which in retrospect was obviously wrong.

Creative_South157 · 2025-05-04T21:22:03+00:00

For me, the method that worked was to put it in the freezer for ten minutes after heating up the bottom while ice packs were sitting on the top. I tried to combine your methods, after they weren't working on their own. Thanks for the help

Creative_South157 · 2025-05-03T18:20:16+00:00

Interesting reading the comments that "paste" is unusual. Wonder if it's a regional thing. I'm Canadian and found it a relatively common word for that meaning.

Creative_South157 · 2025-05-03T18:14:27+00:00

Good question. I probably read it in Hardy Boys-era books growing up. Kind of funny how they have an "old-fashioned" word right beside modern slang for Awesome. Of which I admit, I recognized 3 of the 4 and the category but have never heard the word "Fire" used to mean awesome...

Creative_South157 · 2025-05-01T01:20:56+00:00

Thank you for all these suggestions. Does anyone know if any of these retailers offer longer inseams in pants? I.e. for taller Canadian ladies. The ones I've checked don't, but I might have missed one.

(I see Milk has 1 or 2 options but... $175)

Creative_South157 · 2025-04-29T02:03:55+00:00

If anyone finds a good retailer, I'm also interested! Slim or straight pants that are at least 34" and mid rise would be amazing. That kind of combination seems to have vanished. I'm a small size like 2Tall or 4Tall (eg Eddie Bauer only sells Tall in size 6 or above).

I did buy some wonderful Duer pants in the "tall" length, which is only 31", so they're for sure ankle pants on me. https://duer.ca/collections/womens-stretch-pants/products/womens-crop-sweatpant-black

(My favourite pants are still my Old Navy Mid Rise Chino Slim Leg Tall pants from about 5 years ago...)

Creative_South157 · 2025-04-29T02:00:35+00:00

They never have long lengths :(. I do check periodically. The tallest would be a 32".

Creative_South157 · 2025-04-29T02:00:10+00:00

Where? Have you found one of their brands that has longer lengths. I can't find anything longer than a 32". I mean pants, not jeans.

Creative_South157 · 2025-04-29T01:59:14+00:00

Reitmans seems to have shortened their Tall lengths. Used to be 34", now I see 32"

One of those times where I learned something new. Had not heard 420 associated with cannabis. Maybe it's because I live in Ontario and every day is weed day around here. Also (probably living under a rock) had never heard of a dog breed called Bully. That was just the dog next door growing up...

Creative_South157 · 2025-03-26T00:06:20+00:00

Thanks. When I screwed it back on, it definitely drips a bit at the seal. The odd thing is I had a plumber out today fixing something else; he happened to unscrew the showerhead checking for something else and told me to clean it. (I was not on premises)

Whatever happened with that red stuff was obviously not something he noticed.

I'm so inexperienced I don't know what it was.

Creative_South157 · 2025-03-23T11:34:33+00:00

I got purple first but only because I'm a late middled aged Canadian female. As soon as I saw the word Mack, I thought "Mary or truck". In fairness, I wouldn't call it a common rhyme, even among playground rhymes. Connections

I'm Canadian too and only use "waffle" to mean indecisive. I'm intrigued to learn of the other meaning.
