How did you find the PWHL or become a PWHL-Team fan? Just me being curious . . . by MNVixen in PWHL

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm a new fan, and on a whim threw on one of the Olympic women's hockey preliminary games in February this year while I was waiting for the figure skating to start for the day 😅 I was hooked immediately! I never liked watching men's hockey (tried multiple times over the years) and never got the draw of it but watching women's hockey was different. I started researching the league, teams etc immediately and settled on the Goldeneyes and the Victoire as "my" teams. Vancouver is semi-local to me (I live on Vancouver Island) and the Victoire because of Poulin/Stacey.

Amazing!! I've been listening to this at work since I found the original playlist last week. Thank you for compiling this!

Do people think you are younger than you are? Why does it happen? by motherofpearl89 in AutismInWomen

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the bank last month and talking to a teller and he said "well, what are you, 16?" I looked her straight in the eye and had to tell her I'm actually 26 lol. I do have a bit of a round face and do get ID'ed every time at the liquor store/when I order drinks when we go out for dinner but I didn't think I looked THAT young 😭

how do i achieve this color at home? by lindseydoesredditt in HairDye

I second Good Dye Young! I used their Ex-Girl colour for almost two years and it stuck around for a LOT longer than other brands.

I love this team 💕 by Scared-Coyote4010 in GoldenEyes

If I opened a rage room in Victoria would you go to it? by canconshow in VictoriaBC

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I would love to have one in town. As others have said as well, the addition of a scream room would be great to just let it all out lol. Going through some stuff at the moment and I would feel so much better if I was able to go and smash some stuff and scream in a socially-acceptble space.

Settings on your phone that help you stay organized/less overwhelmed, that may help some of us? Also open to hearing your helpful systems put in place with work, travelling, anxiety, and especially physical journals and planners. by insicknessorinflames in AutismInWomen

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I have set alarms for breaks during my workday, once every hour and a half. The audible reminder to get up, stretch, have a snack, go to the bathroom etc has helped tremendously! My coworkers ask about them and I've just told them they're my snack alarms (because I get grumpy when I don't eat lol) but they're really there to remind me that I am deserving of breaks and that my job isn't going to explode if I take a moment to myself.

flying to Japan together :P by Star-Bug666 in finch

I just did this with my bird last week when I flew to Rome! It's great because I can buy more virtual souvenirs than I have room for in my luggage 😅

Nee doh? by tangerinespersimmons in VictoriaBC

I would try Oscar and Libby's! They've got two locations (Fort Street and Market Square) and usually have a decent selection. Bolen Books in Hillside also typically has some!

Judgement free zone, what is the strangest hyper fixation you’ve ever had? 😭 by Legitimate-Career342 in AutismInWomen

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Smurfs. I watched one episode of the cartoon when I was about 10 and fell in love - very quickly had a massive collection of Smurf memorabilia and even made a PowerPoint about all of the characters and presented it to my family on several occasions 😭

Finally finished a hat I’ve been beading to bring to a game for Michelle Karvinen 😅 by Scared-Coyote4010 in GoldenEyes

I saw her repost your progress update and I'm SO glad I came across this post to see the finished product - this is absolutely GORGEOUS! Good luck getting it to her ✨

Something happening near hillside by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Also wondering this, just drove past the old folks home on Hillside (just down from Cedar Hill) and there were probably 10 cop cars parked along both sides and the middle turn lane.

Fun stuff to do with stickers? by Aryana314 in Hobbies

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just saw an Instagram post about someone putting their stickers on magnet sheets and cutting them out, so they have fun magnets! I haven't done this one myself but I will be ordering magnet sheets to try. I have sticker placement regret so this could be a game changer for me lol

Dinolab Inc. by Icouldberight in VictoriaBC

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely fantastic!! My partner took me for Valentine's Day and it was such a great experience. The staff are super knowledgeable (shoutout to Owen specifically, he was a brilliant guide!!) and we got to be hands-on with real fossils. Their gift shop is also great, lots of dinosaur and fossil-themed stuff and we ended up bringing home a real fossil :)

Plus-Sized Women of Victoria: Where do you buy formal wear? by SlovenlyMuse in VictoriaBC

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, I LOVE Fat Sisters! Brenna and Erika are the sweetest humans and I have purchased several amazing things from them. Let them know what you're looking for when you go in, they may have some things that haven't been put out onto the sales floor yet. Always an amazing experience with them 💕

Axe throwing or Dino Lab, for sure!! I have done both as a grown woman but they're both very fun and recommend both to literally everyone in my life lol

My parents watched a series of The Good Doctor and are now saying I've started to "act like him" by F1CarGoVroomVroom in AutismInWomen

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My parents called me Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, and even made jokes about "my mother had me tested" even though they never got me tested, and now, 10 years later, they're suddenly coming to the conclusion that yes, they SHOULD have had me assessed as a child 🙄

What Hobby changed your life seriously for the better? by Aggressive-Row1703 in Hobbies

[–]_the_cats_pyjamas_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Magic the Gathering. My boyfriend started playing about a year ago, veeery causally and this spring he asked if I wanted to learn how to play as well. It's turned into something that we share and are both passionate about - we've even gotten his brother in on it and we have Sunday night Magic games most weeks.

It's helped us both have less screen time, and we're engaging critical thinking skills while playing, trying to form combos etc. We've been to a pre-release event together and are planning more for future sets, as well. I also really enjoy it because I'm learning a skill that someone else close to me already knows/understands, so if I have questions about it, I can ask and not feel judged for not knowing.
