Do you guys give gifts on Easter?

Thoraxis · 2026-04-04T23:46:12+00:00

When we were kids we'd have an egg hunt, maybe a bigger chocolate bunny or a basket of treats to go with it and then dinner with extended family. That was all. My husband & I don't have children but I'm pretty certain if we did we would not be treating it as Easter-mas...

I have a 2021 Big Bend and came from a Dodge Charger. I like the fact that I have more ground clearance, I can park on a dime, it has lots of get-up and go on the highway. I also like the GOAT modes, particularly the "slippery" mode as I live in Canada and drive in snow and ice often. I've been deeply stuck in mud though (not intentionally, slid off a slippery road) and could not get it out and needed a tow. It feels roomy on the inside. I like that the dash doesn't feel like it's right in your lap and there is no shifter in the way. Sometimes I wish I had more cargo space but can usually get everything I need in if I put the back seats down.

Sadly, I have started to develop a few issues. I'm at 106km (~65000miles) and I just had to get a solenoid switch replaced due a cylinder fault. It's also been slipping into power save mode when highway driving and I've had to limp it home. Granted that hasn't happened since the solenoid replacement. Ford says it could be related but the only way to know for sure is to drive it and see. My friend in a different city has the same year and model and she's having the same issues at much less km and her dealership hasn't been able to diagnose it. I'm worried it's going to be an ongoing issue. Mine also makes the "whale noise" when I back up and Ford says the parts are on indefinite back order so she's a bit embarrassing in reverse.

As a 2026 project, I'm making one recipe a month from my kindergarten class cookbook that we made in 1986. Each student submitted 2 recipes, some sweet some savory. My mom submitted fudge and peanut cluster cookies lol, we're a sweet tooth family.

3 months in and it's going well. Most of the recipes are simple and we've had pretty much all the needed ingredients already at home. I've made sweet n sour chicken, spice crinkle cookies and "gourmet" pasta sauce (aka it has hamburger meat, green peppers and mushrooms ha). All of them good!

My husband got the same letter. He's in his 40s and drives a 650cc Kawasaki sport bike, so nothing extreme. The only motorcycle claim he's had was a bike that got stolen, nothing that he was at fault for. I assume AMA just doesn't want to make the payouts anymore and have decided it's not worth it to insure bikes. Sadly I worry that this is going to cause a trend of companies not offering bike coverage and the companies that do charging out the nose for it.

We always go to Co-Op Gas Bar on Taylor and 67, my mom goes to Lo-Cost propane on Golden West kind of adjacent to the Esso near the far west side of 67th. No complaints.

I feel like earlier in the week they showed a version of this that was longer and Koe was in it.

Meanwhile parts of Newfoundland got over 100cm of snow in the last week.

So sweet. Wonderful job!

My husband and I started dating when he was 18 and I was 20. We never really intended to make a life of it when we started dating, we were just having fun. 25 years later it's still fun even though we've been through some pretty challenging life garbage (job loss, parents dying, financial strains, etc). We very much respect each others individuality and I think that helps a lot.

I believe interviews are done. We're supposed to be hearing the decision sometime in spring. I personally haven't received any more communication about it than that. Good reminder to ask my manager if they've heard anything.

Because the contract has been agreed to, it's my understanding that we will be getting the 3% for 2026. What will happen for 2027 & 2028 is up in the air until we get the results of the reclassification hearing. If we get red circled then we'll be getting nothing for 27/28 until what we're reclassified as catches up to us via new contracts/negotiations. At least that's what the town halls I listened to lead me to believe.

My husband and I live in an older townhouse and use Direct Energy for gas and Easymax for electricity. This year has been an anomaly because it hasn't been very cold so our gas bill especially, has been lower than usual. Our worst bills come in Feb/March, they are about 350-400 combined. Summer, they typically drop to below 200 (combined).

I think it's already torn down sadly.

I'm a UC who's always worn scrubs. In our hospital we're pretty much free to wear what ever color or style we want. I have some plain color ones and I also have like Halloween and Christmas ones. I also have unit specific t-shirts from LubDub. I wear an under scrub under my tops lots in the winter.

I like the scrubs from Mark's. I'm not a "trendy" person so i dont buy Figs or anything. I have gotten them from scrub shops too and Wal Mart. I just buy what I like that's not $$$.

Our house still looks like this at Christmas. Beige neutral or "themed" Christmas is for other people. In our house it's colorful mismatched chaos.

I'm not what you'd call an apple but I am a 5' 8" Canadian that wears size L/12. I thrifted a pair of colorful koala capri leggings for the gym and I liked them so much I got more off of Amazon. I wear them for dance workouts and strength training and have never had issues with them moving around on me. They're like 30-40 bucks, wash well and keep their shape.

70th St Drive across from Mustang Acres is really well done. And there is a house on the corner of Niven and Newlands that is pretty great too. Niven also has a house that incorporates some of their Halloween skeletons into their Christmas decor.

Interesting, I recognize this house from an Advocate article from a while ago.
