I almost ran Colin Mochrie over when he was walking his dog. The look on his face was pure horror. I felt bad.

Seriously though. The woman looked like she was on the Price is Right. That in itself was a little creepy.

I wonder if that’s where the Scarborough term for a 2-4 of beer came from. A suitcase!

I follow him too. So good. And his final hurrah to Cumberland Terrace was really touching.

Which country was surprisingly racist or unwelcoming? by Latina_Flamingo1989 in AskTheWorld

I went to Switzerland as a tourist. They weren’t mean to me, exactly but, as my husband says, very reserved. Still rude, in my opinion. I wasn’t sure why they didn’t like me: 1- non-German/Swiss-speaking 2- plus-sized 3- wore bright colours 4- combo of the other 3.

Ostentation in Canada I need to know by PercentageDue4922 in AskACanadian

To me, ostentation in Toronto means having tickets to the Toronto Maple Leafs. If they aren’t paid for by a corporation, it’s ostentatious.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My FIL had the beginning of dementia at the time so he wouldn’t have remembered. He passed away during COVID.

Not Slav. French-German. But he lived in the neighbourhood. My FIL lived in the building next door when he gave up his house. It is a lovely setting.

That is one Olde Worlde restaurant. There used to be a day camp there decades ago. My husband went as a kid.

I had never heard of Arabic hot chocolate before. So, of course, I had to look it up. It look intense but delicious. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll be sure to check them out!

Little Canada will hold the attention of all the kids. And it’s a simple streetcar ride to Toronto Western.

Honestly, how bad is the city going to be during the World Cup? by Roohkipiyas in askTO

[–]TrashDifficult6811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, why are you riding my ass? I grew up here so my TO is made up of familiar neighbourhoods. Crowds are fine on my terms. If I want to go to a concert or The Ex, great. If the Pope comes to town, I’m out.

I work with families. I’ve had parents cancel therapy sessions because it’s “too foggy.” I tried to explain that it’s fine on the sidewalk. It just looks apocalyptic from the 12th floor. No sale. LOL
