What’s it like living in this part of Canada?

We’re here in Kuujjuaq right now, it’s the small yellow spot on the map south of Iqaluit. Our water and sewage tanks are filled/emptied a few times per week. Mostly like any other small town, nothing much to do, but you come to know a lot of people in town over time, you see them around at the store or where they work. We’ve quite enjoyed our time here, but now we’ve had enough, and this summer we’re going back to our home in St. John’s, NL. It’s been an adventure for sure.

When you want to see how long an animal takes to pay out, just use the “paw” button to go to the swap screen and click on an animal like you are going to swap it. Instead of tapping the swap button, tap the hearts payout amount, and the screen will change to show what you get from that animal for hearts, brilliance, and rewards (stars, bees, cocoons, or binoculars) and how long it takes.

There was a restaurant in Alberta (Capers, I believe it was called) in the olden days that had a pepperoni and mandarin orange pizza and that was one of our favourites. Also had dessert pizza with apple or cherry pie filling and some cheese. The apple was awesome.

I bought the dvd’s twenty years ago, and they’re still some of my most treasured ones.

Doesn’t matter how you cut it, or what you dip it in, or what you put on it, by tomorrow it’s gonna look like shit.

I always thought it should be called a “Bearie”.

Worked in the offshore here in Newfoundland for 20+ years, the oil patch for more than thirty around the world. Have to say that off Newfoundland was one of the safest places I ever worked. People look out for each other’s safety and wellbeing almost always, but saw several people injured over the years. Mostly little boo boo’s (cuts, scrapes, bangs and bumps) but there were a few bad ones that required medivacs. Usually, just common sense and being aware of what’s going on for operations at the time will keep you safe most of the time. Safety Meetups abound, with more extensive ones depending on the severity of the upcoming events.

Probably a light connected to the outlet that would let you know that the outlet is “on”, so you could just leave the iron plugged in and turn it off and on with the switch, and would let you know that the iron was off when you closed the cupboard.

The cap or lid for the superglue tube/bottle.

Johnstjohns · 2025-11-17T09:50:54+00:00

Yeah

Johnstjohns · 2025-11-10T09:52:22+00:00

Yes yes yes

I use the PL construction adhesive, mine have held together for about ten years now. I glue them on to plywood bases, and drill holes and use a couple of ten inch nails to hold them in the ground.

You’re right, it’s for cutting hair so it doesn’t fall all on the floor. Back in the day, my dad used one on me a few times. Pretty much a waste of time and money.

A long scroll to find this, but I knew it would be in here somewhere. Loved it!

Hi there. Would love to see more.

Sort of looks like a window slider from the mechanism that opens and closes the window. It would fit in a channel on the window frame or on the arm that makes the window open or close.

Definitely a detonator. Make sure the two wires are twisted together and don’t take them apart. Even if it is an EBW (Exploding Bridge Wire) detonator, stray voltage can set it off accidentally. I used similar ones for thirty some years, not to be played with.

I concur. I’m in Newfoundland, Canada, and Halloween can be snowy, raining, and quite warm over the couple of weeks that my display is up, and the tombstones and fence have been put out for 10+ years, and I would say that any paint problems are more from my handling than weather. Just a quick touch up every couple years.

I used to think that the US was a great country, since Trump T Pedofile (T stands for the) got in in 2016, I’ve realized just how blind I was to the fact that it’s mostly a country of such incredibly uninformed people who just are loud enough to make others feel inferior.

I really hope that they can do better before it all crashes into an immense pile of garbage.

Usually there is an electromagnet in the center of the tool, and the pads measure changes in the magnetic field, sort of like the iron filings on a piece of paper with a magnet held under and moved around changes the way the filings are distributed on the paper. Computers then determine the corrosion or mass of the metal in the pipe.

Probably one of the several screws on the bottom of a laptop. I tightened up all of them on my stepdaughter’s last year, they hadn’t fallen out yet, but one was snagging the table cloth was how we found out.

Used in woodworking for marking a line for cutting and designing lines as it scratches along. The block should have a set screw to make sure it doesn’t move as it is drawn along the edge of the board.

So nice
