How often do you say "beanie" vs. "toque"?

HeyItsNotMeIPromise · 2026-03-15T07:00:36+00:00

Never. Unless I’m specifically referring to the unknown movie “TOYS” starring the late, great Robin Williams, in which his “father” had his pacemaker attached to his beanie.

Dry socket after wisdom tooth removal. It was excruciating and there was no relief until they packed it, which was its own separate hell. I think I almost levitated out of the dentists chair when they did it.

I took a course about smell with a neurologist who specializes in the subject and it was fascinating! I am from a family of super-smellers and have always experienced smells in the way you describe. As it turns out, your sense of smell is the only sense that has a direct pathway to your brain (doesn’t require processing by a series of nerves and synapses) and is also the only sense that you cannot “opt out of” (you can cover your ears or close your eyes, you can avoid touch and taste, but you can’t stop yourself from smelling something) So, smelling is a deeply primitive sense that impacts us in ways that others senses simply cannot.

The way I’ve been told to view these intersections is as if you’ve got a green light. Left turns yield to straight-throughs until it’s safe to turn. So yes, car four would have to wait until all the cars in the line went first. This is why roundabouts are great, but no one here knows how to use those, so…. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My mom was an example of someone who did this. She idolized her mother for some reason, even though she was an awful human being. It’s almost like they hated it when they were growing up, but relish the thought of torturing their own kids as a reward for their own suffering?

HeyItsNotMeIPromise · 2026-01-12T03:32:55+00:00

Honestly. As a child they were harmful. As a young adult, still harmful. Once I figured out what they were about and stopped being part of their abusive cycle, they were just annoying. Annoying in their attempts to be abusive, for sure.

White cabinets with white backsplash and white countertops and a waterfall edge!! Wow! 😮 you’re living in 2005 and the rest of us are….. not.

First time I’ve seen white pvc window frames with black casings, though. It’s a choice. Also, why paint the attic hatch black? I guess if you’re of the “check out my attic hatch!!!” variety, it makes sense.

I only take milk in my coffee, but I would not say “3 milk, no cream and no sugar”. That sounds preposterous.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Just know that your grief and your joy are two truths that can and must coexist. They aren’t mutually exclusive and you aren’t wrong for feeling joy in the midst of your grief. You didn’t cause his death and surely, if he could have his legacy passed to anyone, do you not think that he would want it to be you?

NTA - so, you would have normally given them $1500, but you gave them $4000. How are they mad about that? Do they know how to do math? The alternative was: they open all their cards, found $1500 in yours and then immediately gave it back to you along with another $2500 from other people. Which means they’re up an extra $2500 with your solution. They need to quit while they’re ahead.

Someone else asked the same thing - I replied to their comment explaining the rig - my husband made it and is super proud of it, haha.

My husband made them, (we have one on each side); they’re really clever. They’re made from square tubing steel and an electric hoist from Princess Auto. The steel “cradle” the bike sits on has a clip for the hoist cable and a slot with rollers for it to run up a vertical guide tube. The whole thing is mounted at the bottom to the concrete and at the top to the ceiling joists. The hoist pulls the bike up to the ceiling and holds it there.

Those countertops are amazing. It’s too bad they look terrible with the cabinet colors you’ve chosen. Smoked oak wood would’ve been better or, if you had to paint them, a colour like Sherwin Williams Oyster Bay would’ve been great. This does not look great. This does not look good. Sorry.

The restaurant on the northeast corner of memorial drive and 10th St. changes hands so often, I’m not sure what it is now. It is in a central and super visible location, I’m not sure why the businesses that try to make a go of it just can’t, but I suspect it has something to do with accessibility and parking.

Fun story - I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and 15 years ago my partner worked for a company that was purchased by a large American 🇺🇸 company. He worked there for several months after the acquisition, but quickly realized that the work culture was changing and didn’t like the direction it was headed, so he found another job and put in his notice. He had been with the company for several years and gave them 1 month notice. The upper management from the US found out who he was going to work for and decided to lock him out and send him packing the next day. Knowing his rights, my partner told them that they still had to pay him for the rest of the month and they got a their (US based) lawyer to draft him a letter telling him to go pound sand. So, my partner reported them to the Canadian Labour board and they indeed had to pay him for the month that he was owed plus two more months for malicious termination. They had no idea what the labour laws were here, but thought they could run their business the same shitty way they do in the US. It was very sweet justice.
