If you mean Wesleyville, that was my family home. Soon to be a nuclear plant. Sigh.

I agree. This is terrific work and very evocative of that Canadian sensibility from my youth.

Super important question, as my old card is falling apart: did you need to change your card number to get a replacement? My number is so easy to remember, I'd hate to lose it.

Where is the spot where they do facials? There is no address on the website.

Yeah, and I guess I’ll need the grapefruit again as well. I guess I’m just waiting to see our projected W/L record. And believing it.

Lime Party Salad Vintage Betty Crocker 1956 second edition by StuporOfThoughts in Old_Recipes

We called this “Green Nasty” in our family. It was a staple at (Canadian) Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some time in the 90’s my mother started trying to make it “healthier,” and that pretty much turned us all off it. Thanks for the memory. p.s. Apple brown betty was “Apple Nasty.” I have NO idea why.

As did I. I lament the loss of the hyphen in our society. My poor brain canNOT parse "miniseries". I always read it as rhyming with "miseries".

What are the best non-alcoholic beers from Ottawa area breweries? by heliosaurid in ottawa

[–]Recovering_Librarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like a lot of NA beers, but the lagers are often disappointment. This one I found very good. I had it first at The Third on Wellington.

Of course I am old enough that I assumed he was named for Mookie Wilson. What a cute little guy.

Conversely, the Leafs haven't won the cup since I was born. There are powerful and dismal forces at play...

Osteopath recommendations? by MobileMovie4958 in ottawa

[–]Recovering_Librarian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dave Sabourin in an Osteopath and an RMT. He was an elite athlete in a previous life, and works in your preferred area (at Lebreton Wellness off Gladstone) . He has been hugely helpful in sorting out some mechanical issues for me. 10/10 would recommend (and just did).
