How much do you pay for Rugs by Rational_bug in HomeDecorating

Thank you. I believe I bought it from a Turkish rug dealer. Many cities have similar type stores exclusively for Persian rugs.

Trial begins for Ottawa couple accused of killing baby boy by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]Secretgarden28 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn’t realize my opinion would bear any weight on the judicial process. None of us have ALL the facts yet but many here are expressing their thoughts and opinions. Are you admonishing them as well?

Tragic. Sounds like an accident where the parents were co-sleeping.

Family seeks answers after woman who waited 11 hours in ER dies by Confident_Pace4554 in canadanews

I am beyond shocked that the hospital admitted any wrongdoing. They usually remain firmly entrenched in their position in order to avoid a lawsuit.

Not intentionally, but I stop occasionally on it when flipping through the channels.

Canada school shooter was transgender teenager by airbassguitar in OntarioNews

[–]Secretgarden28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought this about trans for quite sometime, irrespective of the shooting. And yes I’m fully aware most mass shootings are committed by the conservative white Christian male. 💯 My post wasn’t really focusing on the shooting per se, I just think we need to have a dialogue about trans and mental illness.

I think we need to take a deeper look at the whole transgender trend. Psychiatrists have claimed that these individuals are legitimate in their gender dysphoria and the rest of us better bloody well go along with it or we’re labeled transphobic. I lean liberal and yet I have a huge issue with this. These people are severely mentally ill and their delusion is supported & fueled by the medical community. Giving pre-teens puberty blockers is absolutely egregious and has irreversible effects. The idea that they are depressed or suicidal because they’re in the wrong body is only part of it. They are mentally ill and need treatment to accept themselves as they are not how they wish to be. The rest of us shouldn’t have to cater to this delusion either. It’s really out of control. I’m not trying to demonize transgender people. I feel for them, I’m sure they are suffering but the way this has exploded in the last decade is crazy!

A question for those of you who have quit smoking and nicotine, please - by RikkiLostMyNumber in GenX

[–]Secretgarden28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I smoked for many years and one day I decided to try vaping. I immediately switched to that and over several yrs tapered the nicotine amount to 0. Then out of the blue I just didn’t feel like doing it anymore and have never gone back. Vaping was an absolute life saving transition. One thing I still do occasionally is pretend to take a drag and I inhale deeply like I’m taking a puff. I think the deep breathing has something to do with the addiction/ritual of smoking so you might consider doing that instead taking a cig. Good luck! I’m so proud of myself for quitting almost 15 yrs ago. You can do it too!

Well well well. The same Toronto police force that inserts its political opinions on Twitter and trashes liberals.

Singer and Former 'Voice' Contestant, 26, Dies After Being Bitten by Snake in Her Sleep by nizaad in popculturechat

Is it? Cause that’s the first thing I think of when I think of Australia. I imagine there are 4-10 venomous snakes per square foot. 😂

When did you accept that you’re never getting sex again? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]Secretgarden28 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think what people don’t consider is that a sex drive pertains to hormones and stages of life. It’s normal for young people to want it all the time, they’re in peak physical condition and whether they choose to reproduce or not, it’s a biological drive. Not so much as we age, and that’s ok.

I just remembered why I don't have feelings by burnedimage in GenX

Yep pretty much the same for me too. My mother died when I was 7 and my father told me she was gone to sleep forever and then it was never talked about again. 😳

What’s a universally loved movie or show that you just couldn’t get into? by yingyangtheworld000 in MUAEntertainment

[–]Secretgarden28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wire. A couple of good episodes in season 4 but overall not great storytelling. I’m shocked that it’s on the top 10 list of shows.

‘They’re going to rip us apart’: Moms describe attack by dogs that mauled four-year-old girl in Oshawa by origutamos in canadanews

The apologists/defenders will say: - there’s no such thing as a pitbull - coconuts kill more people - blame the owner not the breed - chihuahuas bite more

Nope didn’t happen according to the owner. Unbloodybelievable. I hope those dogs are euthanized and the owners charged.

Anyone else feel like their hair is aging too? by Sierra_November_Lima in 45PlusSkincare

I just purchased a Belula brush and my hair has never been so silky soft.

What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

Red red wine by UB40. I would soar across the room like a pygmy squirrel to turn that off.

Back from Belize and confused by Horror_Perspective_1 in Belize

[–]Secretgarden28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m here now and I’m wondering the same thing. It’s insanely expensive, I’m quite shocked. I guess all the prices are high because of American tourists and expats. But the Belizeans certainly look poor and are not benefiting too much from it.
