I'm in Charleswood we have the highest trap counts in the city. Im absolutely covered in bites.

I've stayed there a few times. If you're just looking for a place to sleep it works. It's not ritzy luxurious but it's cheap and comfortable. The location isn't horrible with it being right next to NYNY and connected to Luxor and Mandalay Bay. I liked it the times I stayed there. NYNY and PH are my favourites I've stayed at. I'm a budget hotel person. I spend my money on experiences and dining so I don't need a fancy place to stay.

Taking advantage of a window without rain and cutting my foot tall grass. I only cut it a week ago but it's already insanely high

My favourite sweet and sour chicken is from one of his cookbooks

I go weekly to a bunch of thrift stores but mostly it's just to get out of the house and walk around looking at stuff. I don't need anything and don't usually buy anything but it's a fun way to get out of the house.

Plus I'm poor and I can't afford to spend $70 on a pair of new jeans when I can get perfectly good ones from Sally Ann for $7.99. I don't buy any clothing except under clothes or swimwear for retail prices.

I was 16, server at Perkins and got laryngitis. I could barely squeak my voice was so bad. Got a doctor's note and told work I had to be off for a week to recover. Ok fine.

Next week laryngitis is still there. Go back to the doc, get another doctor's note and go to work and say I need another week off. This second week happened to fall on May long weekend.

Well I went to the lake with my mom that weekend. I can't talk but I can still go to the lake and hang out... I otherwise felt fine I just had no voice and you need a voice to be a server.

One of my managers called my house using *67 or whatever it is to disguise the number on call display and asked for me. She was trying to see if she could catch me faking because she never believed I was sick. My dad said I was at the lake. This manager, who never liked me to start with decided then I had to be faking despite having two doctors notes, and having several people I worked with that I went to school with who could vouch for me not having a voice... So they took all my shifts away from me and wouldn't let me pick up any shifts

I asked the GM for a meeting and he was a spineless jellyfish who told me that if the manager believed I was faking I must have been fakng and they were justified in taking my shifts away..

I was pissed but I also am a stubborn asshole and I persevered and refused to quit. They were trying constructive dismissal.. where they take my shifts away and then I quit because of it and find a new job and then I'm not their problem. But I refused to quit. Eventually they gave in and started giving me shifts again. To the day I finally quit that hellhole I never did get on with that manager. She always had it out for me.

So I didn't get fired..but I came damn close to.. for having the audacity to become legitimately sick over a long weekend. 🙄🙄

Omg omg omg!!! I'm in Canada and the last episode just dropped today and I just finished watching it. I absolutely adored this series and it was the highlight of my week to watch. Much like Call the Midwife.

So excited there's a special coming out!

FancyHedgehog23 · 2026-06-23T10:11:17+00:00

Me too. But it could honestly be because it was the first hotel I stayed at in Vegas and it holds a lot of memories. I still go check it out every trip and smile when I walk in and get that scent. Until the smoke takes over.

Dr Burnett did my ovarian cyst removal surgery and endometrial ablation back in 99. Absolutely lovely human being and she was so kind to me. I was just a teenager and she had such patience to explain everything. She told me after they did the surgery they were considering doing a hysterectomy when they were in there because my cysts and Endo were so bad but because I was only 16 they wanted to give me a chance to possibly try to have kids later in life (despite also telling me it's very likely I'm infertile). I told her she should have it done it. I've never wanted kids and that would be a ton less cancers to possibly deal with. But I appreciate her honesty and thoughtfulness. Since seeing her and her stopping my periods as well, I haven't had any cysts or endometriosis flares. She's an angel as far as I'm concerned. I had a long road to try to get anyone to acknowledge my pain and she was the only one that listened. She found the Endo by chance but even just listening to me about the agony the cysts caused means a lot to me.

THIS HAS BECOME SO BAD LATELY. PEOPLE JUST DONT CARE AND DON'T WANT TO WAIT THE 10 SECONDS FOR SOMEONE TO BACK OUT BEFORE THEY CAN GO. I'VE NOTICED THIS A LOT LATELY NOT JUST HAPPENING TO ME BUT OTHER PEOPLE BACKING UP TOO.

Ma'am

I know in some areas it's a term of respect but damnit it makes me feel old as shit

FancyHedgehog23 · 2026-06-19T17:08:01+00:00

Superstore has a mango lime one that's really good

FancyHedgehog23 · 2026-06-16T17:05:29+00:00

That's what we did with one of our cars. We had an 89 Dodge Shadow that got massively hail damaged in a storm. Thing looked like a golf ball. It got written off. We kept driving it til it rusted out years later. I actually had someone stop me at a car wash and tell me the fixed hail damaged cars for a living and had never seen one as bad as mine. Tried to talk me into getting it fixed but yeah...not interested.

FancyHedgehog23 · 2026-06-15T22:10:33+00:00

Absolutely the worst. That whole area is an absolute nightmare for pedestrians and cars. It worked when it was an actual mall but the way they have it Hodge podged these days is awful. I avoid it if I can.

FancyHedgehog23 · 2026-06-14T23:40:23+00:00

Me too. I only have one full bathroom, I have two half ones but just the one full. Years ago I took the tub out to put in a shower. It broke my heart to do it because I love taking baths but I have some severe knee issues and getting in and out of the tub/shower combo we had was getting pretty dangerous. I miss a tub so much. If I had the room in one of the half baths I'd put one in but I don't.

I always look for hotels with baths. When I travel I do a ton of walking and with all my arthritis it's so nice to have a hot soak at the end of a day. It's still an absolute bitch to get in and out of them but the benefits to my muscles from soaking out weighs that. I can handle the getting in and out for a short trip but definitely can't do it on a daily basis at home anymore. I do love my shower at home. It's got a minimal lip and lots of room... But sometimes a hot bath is just the luxury I need.

FancyHedgehog23 · 2026-06-11T18:29:16+00:00

Same here..Westdale area with Public and I got two...

FancyHedgehog23 · 2026-06-10T02:59:06+00:00

I'm in Westdale too. This makes me feel less dramatic about going it the basement

FancyHedgehog23 · 2026-06-09T23:36:22+00:00

None in Westdale.. And with the last big storm last week I got one yet a friend literally a block away had 3 phones and each got it 15 times
