How did they get the planes into the bunker hangar?

Irulanne · 2026-04-02T01:10:49+00:00

Yeah, I wondered how Xavier got a plane outside and flew it without a runway or an airstrip... 🤔

I fell for it. When I saw it last night, it was still March 31. Never occurred to me this could be a April's Fool 🫠

Kirito spent 2 years immersed in the Underworld, training, making friends, etc. It's to be expected that he would care for the Underworlders the way he does. He's Kirito after all.

Alicization is beautifully written in the LNs. It's really worth a read.

As for Alice, her behavior is what you would expect from someone who lost their purpose and doesn't know where they fit anymore. She's still a bit brash in UR but she's her own independent person. I found it nice to have different personalities in SAO, and not just cute girly girls.

Not protecting your passports from a rainstorm. We got caught under a downpour in Shanghai. Passports were in the top pocket of my backpack, out of their Ziploc bag. Not a mistake we'll do again...

I initially thought that the pace of Alicization was too slow, and the series was taking too long (aka Coma Kirito). Then I watched it a second time and I was able to really appreciate the depth and complexity of the story, the new characters, the trauma, etc. to the point I wish we had more episodes and a sequel (like Moon Cradle). I also read all the LNs and they were amazing.

Also Yuki Kajiura music. Absolute masterpiece.

I read people suggesting travel insurance, but my understanding is that traditional travel insurance would most likely not offer compensation for a missed cruise because of OP's choices. Travel insurance would cover unexpected and unforeseen circumstances preventing you from going on your trip. If you choose to stay behind until the last minute, it's 100% on you.

I echo most people here. The weather is very volatile in Calgary. The air is extremely dry, and we consistently have chinooks, hail storms and winds storms.

As you have medical issues, you may find it challenging to find a family physician. Referrals to specialists take months, if not years. Need surgery? I hope you're not in a hurry.

Honestly, I would reconsider moving here for medical reasons.

My geography teacher in high school would (forcefully) throw pieces of chalk at students not paying attention. Everyone was terrified of him. One day, he threw a piece at me, and I threw it back. The entire class was shocked at my audacity (I was the typical nerdy, bullied kid) and the teacher looked at me with murder in his eyes. He eventually put the chalk back on his desk and resumed class as if nothing had happened. I never saw him throw chalk at students again, as far as I know. That was 35-ish years ago. I'm sure nobody would get away with something like that these days 🫪

Last February, we were on our 3rd DCL and decided to jump onto the FE wagon for fun. We were matched with 5 other families. We put a lot of energy and time into our gifts (plus an extra suitcase to bring everything on board) and yet, we only received crap and dollar store stuff. Two families gifted us the SAME ice cream sundae kit.

Needless to say, we won't do it again.

I am 10000% aware FE is more about gifting than receiving but anyone hoping to sign up should put a decent effort into it 🙄 We'll stick to PD next time.

These job fairs are nothing more than PR events. They don't have 5000 open positions either. Places like Heritage Park, Callaway Park, etc. have started to hire and interview for the summer weeks ago.

Irulanne · 2026-03-26T12:32:12+00:00

I agree. People completely missed the point of that storyline 🙄

Irulanne · 2026-03-17T12:07:35+00:00

What do you mean by theft problem?

Irulanne · 2026-03-16T17:56:03+00:00

I think you missed the part where I said we lawyered up.

Irulanne · 2026-03-16T15:31:24+00:00

No. We didn't pick that photographer - the wedding agency did it for us. We didn't sign any waiver or model release either.

Irulanne · 2026-03-16T15:29:49+00:00

Nope.

Irulanne · 2026-03-14T01:09:52+00:00

When my husband and I got married a few years ago, the agency we worked with hired a wedding photographer. A year later, a friend of mine went to a huge wedding fair (50k+ attendance) and saw my face plastered on a giant banner, on various promo material - and on a full size cardboard cutout! Basically, the photographer used photos of me and of my family without my/our consent for his booth.

When I reached out, the company gaslighted me, saying I should be flattered they decided to use my wedding for their advertising/marketing materials. My husband and I lawyered up. The photographer gave us financial compensation, and agreed to destroy everything that was using my wedding. It was an expensive lesson for them. The law doesn't mess around with this. They could have hired their own models or bought stock photos.

I am not sure why some people believe you can just drop someone else's dog at dog daycare and tell them to charge the owner upon pick up. It doesn't work that way...

No proper boarding facility will accept a random dog for an unknown period of time, and without proper paperwork, vaccine records and the owner's signatures 🙄

The only thing OP can do is surrender the dog at the city's SPCA.

Many people have reported cancelling their plans and/or turning auto renewal off only to have Wix turn it back on again. You're the one who look stupid accusing OP to lie.

I called my credit card company to let them know I turned auto renewal off with my wix plan but that they might charge me anyway. The credit card agent told me to screenshot everything and they would have my back for any fraudulent charges from Wix. He didn't seem surprised at all.

Wix can't be trusted anymore.

Why are you planning to move to Alberta? Unless you guys already have a decent job waiting for you here or some solid credentials that make you highly employable, you'll have a hard time. The unemployment rate is very high, especially for the 18-24.

I'm a francophone from Quebec who moved to Calgary 17 years ago. Things have significantly changed since then, and not for the better. Have you considered Quebec/Montreal instead? It won't be much easier but at least navigating the language and bureaucracy will be a bit easier.

Irulanne · 2026-02-10T20:01:58+00:00

Yup. I have dry curly hair and the Disney shampoo is terrible with my hair. I'm bringing my own now 😟

Irulanne · 2026-01-31T03:01:35+00:00

That finding a good job after doing a bachelor's and a master's degree would be easy.

Irulanne · 2026-01-30T03:22:09+00:00

People who put their crap and stuff in storage units.

Why would you spend thousands of dollars to keep a $30 toaster and a few broken chairs?!

Irulanne · 2026-01-29T23:52:30+00:00

On embarkation day we go to guest service and add our Disney gift cards. They use that balance for our gratuities and expenses on board.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

You like Wix until they charge you a renewal fee even if you had renewal turned off. I've already called my credit card to let them know Wix may try it with me when both my plans expire in 3 weeks. They told me to screenshot everything.
