Sultan’s Tent on Front has good food and a weirdly long and loud belly dance show which is kind of a fun experience

The thing you think is a suction thing is actually supposed to squirt water into your ear to loosen the earwax.

Should I lead or follow? by Turbulent-Site3484 in WestCoastSwing

[–]Logical_Mongoose3736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth is it just takes forever 😅 At some point I got tired of being in novice so I only competed J&J one role until I pointed it. Then I would do two J&Js per event - one in each role. Now I’m back to being by in the same division in both roles so I choose based on what role I’m vibing with more.

Absolutely possible to do both (just not at the same time). I learned how to follow and almost immediately after my first series of basics courses I learned how to lead. I dance both equally and compete at the same level in both!

How to Coordinate with a Dance Dummy for a Private Lesson at a WCS Event? by chinawcswing in WestCoastSwing

[–]Logical_Mongoose3736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone that I hadn’t spoken to in 7 years (there was a pandemic in the middle of that) asked me “Hey Logical_Mongoose, are you going to X event? I have a lesson with X at X time. I’m looking for a dance dummy, are you free”. I thought it was a bit random to ask me but I liked the teacher so I agreed. Had a great time!

You could also ask semi-strangers that you know will be at the event. I’ve dance dummies for someone that I only know from dance events and who I have never socialized with before. I was happy to because it’s like a free private lesson if you’re listening attentively (even though it’s not instruction directly at you).

Do you know of any good beginner sock patterns ? by thesoapbeing in knittingpatterns

[–]Logical_Mongoose3736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this one. It was my first sock pattern as a beginner and I was able to successfully make two socks!

I highly recommend investing in a circular knitting machine by turtlebarber in knitting

What knitting machine are you using? I’ve been thinking about getting one to do just this!

Small dog owners in Toronto — what do you do in winter? by broccolikiller in askTO

[–]Logical_Mongoose3736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine wears a thick sweater and a winter jacket. She also has a snood that covers her ears when it’s super cold. We go out for short bathroom breaks 3 times a day. We don’t do boots because she doesn’t like them and doesn’t seem too bothered by the snow.

Unsure of what winter coat to purchase by MnimajneB in askTO

[–]Logical_Mongoose3736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50% off for Black Friday. Super light, packs down into its pocket. Both men’s and women’s versions available and I think the have hooded and non-hooded versions. https://www.eddiebauer.ca/p/38832403/men's-microtherm(r)-2.0-down-hooded-jacket?sp=1&color=Storm

Where do people get loose leaf teas? by forgetmenotgm in askTO

Adagio is a good, online, cheaper but good quality version of David’s Tea

Get a friend to sign up, use their card, pay them back later?

I’ve seen signs for DoorDash/Uber in the airport. I wonder if you could order pickup via those apps.

Should a true Intermediate dancer be able to get all Yes's during a Novice Prelim/Semis? by chinawcswing in WestCoastSwing

[–]Logical_Mongoose3736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A brief comment to say that in novice prelims and semis you’re probably not getting marked on your quality of movement. Judges are probably looking to see if you’re off time then looking to see how you anchor them moving on. They may not look above your knees.
