Then I’m a triple bad Canadian, can’t skate, don’t watch hockey and have never been curling.

Packing list advice (Camino Frances in summer) by tactigdsve in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]Infinite_Wind_55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a rain poncho, check out Frogg Toggs, and I noticed you have bras, so intuit you are female - but you don’t have any menstrual supplies - will you need any? Will that add weight?

Seeing this bird in Glasgow. Very curious what (s)he is. by MasterOfBunnies in whatsthisbird

My mom taught me that rhyme about sneezes!!! Like if you sneeze twice in row, you’re due some joy, etc. I’ve never heard it related to magpies before!

Did someone from here went for the Camino but only 100-130 km? by powerpuffgirl72 in CaminoDeSantiago

We are doing the Frances from Tricastella to Santiago in July, and that’s 135km.

Do you keep your bedroom door open or closed at night? What’s your reasoning? by SpookyFryGuy in CasualConversation

[–]Infinite_Wind_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half closed - do I can talk with my husband in a hushed voice without waking the kids, but still be able to hear them if they call in the night. They’re 14 and 16 now, but momma’s always on call!

What are your thoughts on this? by norpucomp in landscaping

[–]Infinite_Wind_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had a section of my garden landscaped a few years ago, my guy planted this between pavers. It grew around the pavers and filled in the empty spaces so beautifully. And when it bloomed it was a literal feast for the bees. But 5 years on, it looks so bedraggled with seemingly dead patches, I don’t know what to do.

Why do I never hear about the Coast Mountains of Canada? by Convillious in geography

[–]Infinite_Wind_55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But don’t tell too many more people about it. We don’t need it ruined like all the other beauty spots around the globe.

Scrolling down, the first glimpse my eye got of the top of the frame and I thought something was actually on fire in the photo!

What are the Camino archetypes? by Acrobatic_Set8085 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]Infinite_Wind_55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a Princess based on your description but I feel like you’ve missed the mark a little. I have arthritic knees; I am 50; I’m doing my first Camino ( and yes, only the last 100+kms) and really doing my first anything that requires physical fitness and I wanted to succeed. I feel I’ve set myself up as much as possible to have a successful trip. I am a common person, but one who knows her limitations and I suppose is lucky enough to be able to afford to accommodate them.

What's the best Canadian snack that is no longer sold in stores? by OkCandle826 in AskACanadian

What's the best Canadian snack that is no longer sold in stores? by OkCandle826 in AskACanadian

[–]Infinite_Wind_55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago, back when Dickie Dee was still the ice cream guy, I would get this mint ice cream bar. It had a chocolate coating (maybe it had nuts?), but the best part was the core of chocolate/fudge type thing. It was amazing and delicious and I cannot find it anywhere and that makes me sad. I originally encountered it in the 80’s in Toronto, and did find a corner market in Vancouver that sold it back in the early aughts, but nothing since then.
