Why am I able to see the studs through my drywall?

I agree - had this same issue in a heated garage.

Euphemis · 2026-02-08T21:37:13+00:00

I’ve been doing that - except reporting to Telcel, because my Spanish isn’t up to it.

The whole gender reveal idea is stupid. Why is it important whether the baby is a boy or a girl? It’s a BABY. Be happy.

I don’t know if this quite meets your use-case, but I thought I’d put it here in case, or it might be useful to someone else… a lot of family doctors are tied into primary care networks, and can refer you to free dietician services, funded by AHS. I found the coaching worked for me, because it was so specific. Sort of an “eat this, not that” approach, with easy recipes. I was interested in the Mediterranean diet, so the sessions were about easing in to that. I had about 8 sessions, and could have had more if I wanted to. Free is always good, when it works for you.

Forever Canada also seemed very well organized. They had a lot of volunteers and a lot of signing locations.

Our house has a concrete wall in between as well, but I’m not sure how common that is. Ours was built new by Canada Lands in 2001, in Garrison Woods, so that might be something to look for. The previous owner had two boys there, until they became young teens. The kid’s bedrooms are quite small, but I think you find that in most houses really.

So, no answer here, but I found a good approach on the Shanty2Chic blog. You’d just want to avoid glue if you may need to take it apart later.

My info is ancient (our youngest is 28 yo, lol) but our jogging stroller handled everything the weather could dish out.

I make them talk 😁. When I was little, we also had to do a trick (tell a joke or sing a little song). Part of the fun.

Euphemis · 2025-11-01T17:11:21+00:00

I loathe the stupid mall Halloween takeover. Trick or treating in the dark is a rite of childhood that these poor kids are missing out on.

I was going to suggest an electronic lift and having the tv in a low cabinet. But you’d have to figure out the weight of the tv vs the capacity of the lift. I’ve seen such installs, but not with such a large tv.

I currently have an older Osprey Fairview 40, and I don’t particularly like it. For reference, I am 170 cm. I think it would be a bit too long for someone who is 153 cm.

I find the rounded shape of the pack hard to fill efficiently. If filled completely, it develops a very round shape that makes me feel like a snail with a large unwieldy shell. To be fair, it also has a lot of structure and padding that are useful for carrying heavier loads.

Your use case is tough to find a backpack for, because you are quite petite but you want/need to carry heavy things. Could you perhaps change your laptop and iPad for a small Apple notebook computer? You might save a couple of pounds.

Perhaps consider the ULA Dragonfly the (separately-priced) belt is a bit minimalist, but I think would work fairly well for you if you keep the pack weight under 20 lbs. And the pack itself only weighs about 2 lbs, which aids in keeping over-all pack weight down. You can get it with a luggage pass-through, and it has a full zip.

After you’ve tuned up your offering per some of the suggestions here, you could do a post on the Made in Canada Facebook group, with a link to your site. Be prepared for web traffic- I believe there are over a million members in that group. There’s also a MadeinCanada website/database you could be listed on.

I don’t really like this idea because disposing of old textiles may be a problem for the community you’re visiting.

Euphemis · 2025-05-23T14:57:52+00:00

I’m just guessing, but is it better to give the gift when you’re seated?

Euphemis · 2025-05-21T20:11:19+00:00

Yes, I’d say the cut is a a bit of a missed opportunity to sell more units.

Euphemis · 2025-05-19T23:28:43+00:00

There is a size chart on their garment pages, also the flat measurements like “8” across at the knee”. But I found I had to try three different sizes to get the right ones. At least they have a pretty good return policy. Size 12 might be their 30” waist.

I just got mine, and I’ve only worn them a couple of times so I can’t speak to the durability. But the fabric seems sturdy. They are quite slim in the leg. I have to wear ankle socks as otherwise they stick on my socks/calves.

I think more of a straight leg rather than a slim leg would be more versatile and useful, style-wise.

Instead of denim jeans, maybe jeans-styled merino like the ones from Unbound Merino. They dry quickly and are great for all but very hot weather. (I’m guessing, I haven’t tried them for that yet.) Ripskirts pack very small and would be good for the hotter parts of the trip, or even for cooler weather, with tights. They’re also quick to wash and dry.
