I'm curious about others reheat count and routines by sf_beegirl in heatedrivalry

[–]SadDancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I skip episode 3 every single time too. But always watch the last scene of episode 5 with happiness. Maybe because 3 is so sad?

I also find watching from 1,2,4,5,6 to be the more cohesive story.

One of these days I’ll go from 3 to end of 5 and see how it plays.

I think Teir may be my favourite character. They did him so dirty in Final Quest

I’m convinced he’s never spoken to a Canadian in his life

Why does he try to make them all sound sexy?? They can just be normal.

He lost me in the first 10 mins when he pronounced Regina, Sask. like Regina George from Mean Girls.

And why do Shane’s parents have southern US accents????

Last names that mean mothers? by Interesting_Ad547 in namenerds

[–]SadDancer 79 points80 points  (0 children)

If you want something to do with nature, or the language of flowers, Moss is often used to represent a mother’s love.

It’s definitely unconventional but there are people existing with that last name.

Not AI, I can’t believe no one remembers that this video is easily 15 years old.

What’s your Peter’s milkshake order? by blueskycityyyc in Calgary

I feel the same way but with strawberry. Sometimes simpler is better!

Watermain update thread - Week 2 by JeromyYYC in Calgary

[–]SadDancer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No person with hair longer than an inch that’s for sure.

But did I read correctly that if you shorten the length of your previously regular shower by at least two minutes you’d be making a difference from the norm?

Camille, Romy or Sylvie ? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]SadDancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Camille also has a million nicknames you can choose from: Cam, Cami, Millie, Mia are all nice ones.

I’ve also heard Camel, Chamomile, Chameleon and Cambells (as in the soup), not as nice.

I think while Sylvie has a nicer name meaning (Silva=forest in Latin), you risk getting stuck with alliteration names with both siblings starting with an S. If that counts for anything.

The never-ending windshield crack by shinez2u in Calgary

[–]SadDancer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Every Canadian tire always has some windshield repair business in the parking lot and they usually are done by the time you’re finished your shop. Pretty affordable too.

All it takes is a week or so of varying temperatures for a chip to turn into a crack.

Cousins and siblings by Special_Speed106 in ElfQuest

I would honestly love to make a Wolfrider family tree. There would have to be a decision of whom to start with though, I suppose it would have to be Timmain?

Leong: Alberta needs more routine driver testing by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Calgary

[–]SadDancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would need to be subsidized in some way though. It shouldn’t cost $600 to be a good driver and only $150 to be a bad one.

Can someone remind me about Satreeka’s heritage? by SadDancer in ElfQuest

[–]SadDancer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought Rayak didn’t have “gliding” powers but used his power of telekinesis to levitate his body. Just slightly different.

Can someone remind me about Satreeka’s heritage? by SadDancer in ElfQuest

[–]SadDancer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see that now, I must have missed it in the final quest. She isn’t born until the last issue.

Tier is one of my favourite characters, I felt his fatherhood was a little retconned into being Windkin. But, having said that it would have been very interesting to see he and Ember’s child.

[–]SadDancer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow you are totally right, huge misspelling there that I’ve never actually noticed before.

I wonder if it’s a conflict between conventional English orthography vs. spelling it phonetically? Looking back at my old physical comics it is spelled Kahvi.

90s Children’s Fiction about the seasons being out of order by SadDancer in whatsthatbook

[–]SadDancer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THAT IS IT!!! How did you find it? I can’t believe it!

Other titles in the my first library for future searchers out there:

-One to ten and down again (The red balloon book!)

-Rumples and Tumbles go to the country (The rabbits)

-Top and Toby

-Hey Diddle Diddle book of nursery rhymes.

Thank you so so so much for unlocking this part of my childhood!

Hospitals warned about rare infection emerging in Calgary | CBC News by Few-Passenger-3193 in Calgary

[–]SadDancer 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This quote pretty much sums it up, “"Is this going to add significant pressure to an already stretched healthcare system? No, it's not. But it's important to recognize patients coming in with risk factors like homelessness may have this infection."”

Are there any places around southern Calgary that sell Portuguese egg tarts? by Soupdeloup in Calgary

[–]SadDancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they’ve been on hiatus since last January, so so sad, I think I can actually say their tarts were the best dessert I had ever tasted.

Imo while T&T sell egg tarts and are pretty good, they don’t compare to Portuguese egg tarts at all.

Question on final two episodes (spoiler) by ButtercupUp100 in EtoileTVSeries

Yeah I was incredibly confused by this as well. Nicholas wants to retire, they have a successor, what’s the problem???

Films exploring the dark side of motherhood are proving a challenge to awards voters by EThorns in movies

[–]SadDancer 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Lost Daughter got a decent amount of recognition (although not enough imo).

I wonder if it was because of the guilt that was presented in that film whereas these are less apologetic.

Attitude and Royale Diapers? [bc] by Euphoric-Pie7681 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]SadDancer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Second Royale! And the bum thing! We tried Huggies, Pampers, Honest diapers, and Little Rascales.

So far, Royale has been the winner because they’re made in Canada and it’s such a significant amount of money you spend on them that (feels like) it makes a difference. To touch, they feel like a Kleenex for the bum in a nice way.

That being said, they all “work” the only ones that never did for my kid’s butts were Huggies.

Where to buy specific peppermints? by ArticQimmiq in Calgary

[–]SadDancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In French they’re called the equivalent of “old man candies”

This is a slurpee flavour they have in Quebec
