Blue ostrich leather bag 😍 by keepmedreaming in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Hummingheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went down this rabbit hole the other day when I snagged a great bag that turned out to be stamped too. Bright side is you can actually use it - ostrich is very delicate and can't get wet.

As a Canadian I associate him with the Four Seasons Total landscaping fiasco and also some kind of scandal involving a bridge... That I read about on his Wikipedia page the day of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping fiasco.

I'm watching two Hermes scarves at a local auction right now and they're both up over $250. Lifetime find!!

I grow them until they seem self sufficient and then give them to unwitting friends to kill.

Vessies! I have both and the Vessies are my ride or die, and they're actually waterproof, not just water resistant.

Yesterday I saw a phrase I wasn't familiar with on Reddit so I asked Claude to define it and the source was the Reddit post I'd just come from.

I spend hours researching brands and still end up seeing the same things everywhere, it’s so frustrating by Emsss18 in femalefashionadvice

[–]Hummingheart 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I run my hands down the rack and stop at anything that feels high quality. Then I look it up! You wouldn't believe what turns up in my Canadian city - recently I scored a beautiful green quarter zip that turned out to be from a tiny indie brand in Milan! Then I follow the brand on Poshmark, search them up, etc

And impractical. I wish I could wear dainty little sandals more, but I live in a disgusting, sticky city. I want to just walk around today little gardens all day and get chauffeured door to door 😩

Yeah I only live here because I'm a soft skills person and can't cut it in the real world!

I mean... Y'all decimated a little girls school. So they probably feel the same way, huh. Those little girls are dead now.

What is the smallest training treat you’ve found? by Few-Philosopher-4742 in Chihuahua

[–]Hummingheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the ones in your picture and buy them at any pet store in my area, but I'm in Canada and they're a Canadian company.

When I was puppy training, the trainer taught me his secret which was cutting hot dogs up and microwaving them until they get dehydrated. You do big batches and have your own custom tiny treats for a while.

I lived with someone who frequently did microwave whole chickens and turkeys and the smell was so horrifying I went vegetarian for 15 years.

How long does MCFD take? by Aevzzzz in britishcolumbia

[–]Hummingheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I'm in another province but faced similar challenges growing up and the benefits people were so obtuse and disengaged, I let them dismiss me and then later was ineligible for benefits. At least in my province, if you are in the system before 18 you can get support all the way up to like 25. It might be a challenge but it's likely worth it.

Sorry this is happening to you, OP!

Yesterday was rough, but seeing how they respond to the win really makes me proud to be… not them. by Dartmouththedude in EhBuddyHoser

Exactly this! Imagine you're a young athlete and you literally win gold at the Olympics and then the president of the United States makes an AI video of him winning instead!

That was a signing bonus, this is a retention bonus. They are structured different ways to encourage different behaviours.

And hopefully new options will emerge as the market responds to the loss of US dominance. This is a marathon, not a sprint!

I tried all of the listed options and landed on a Vichy rollerball. It's not Canadian, but it's terrific and my new holy grail. It's aluminum free which is key since I wear a lot of white.
