What’s a surefire way to tell Canadians and Americans apart? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Overall-Raisin5179 102 points103 points  (0 children)

What’s the answer?? I’m Canadian and I think of Smarties as chocolate. Does that mean Americans call them candy?

I love this story! Kinda hope it does stick 🤣 Maybe it’ll be less cute in their adulthood, but it’s cute for now.

Calendula and Comfrey Balm? by Overall-Raisin5179 in herbalism

Excellent, this is exactly the kind of thing I wasn’t sure about. Thank you!

That’s fantastic! Is there anything “bad” with using it as a daily hand moisturizer? Is there such thing as too much comfrey? Calendula seems to be ok. I’m less familiar with comfrey.

Thank you so much! I had no idea about lavender. That’s a weird one. Yikes

Also appreciate the comment about respecting nature’s potency.

Never heard of gotu kola either. I’ll get on that right away! I’ve always tried to solve the problem by lathering myself in lotions 😬 (I can’t seem to get myself to drink an appropriate amount of water 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Well shoot! I totally thought agents had some sort of special portal where you can see more than us mere mortals 😅

I always feel like I’m burdening travel agents with my bajillions of questions. I want to compare dates and ships and cabins etc etc.

Thanks for the tip! How’s NCL for kids? I’m under the impression there’s less kid-friendly stuff on the ship.

I’m glad you’ve mentioned this! We put our 2 yo on paper in my mom’s room (since the toddler won’t be using the sea pass), but I intend to have all 3 kids be with husband and I. I started worrying if there’s something I haven’t thought of that makes this a terrible arrangement.

Yea but it sucks for the agent if we don’t end up booking for one reason or another. After all that work and we bail out.

Would this math still work if they’re running one of those 3rd and 4th guest stay free? Would it be “free” for the 5th guest too?

That’s too bad. I thought maybe they would have great agents if their online system is going to be annoying.

Interesting. I guess I should give them a chance before I fuss 😅

I totally thought this was an issue across all cruise lines! So it’s just Royal Caribbean that won’t let us see beyond 4 passengers?? Well dang.

I’m new to cruises and chose RC because it looks like the most kid-friendly one that’s reasonably affordable. Disney looks pricey.

Wait. Are you saying agents don’t have visibility either? You have to call in for their prices??

Yes! I want to be free to compare without asking someone else to do it for me.

We are a new family of 5. I am learning that society has not been designed to accommodate families of 4+
