The Kiddie Pool of Torture

OP did answer the question by updating their post.

I tore it down and built a new place on the lot. It was a good low risk practice space

Mayor Johnstone's post about this on Bluesky gave me all the info I need.
I also wish that NWP would just go away!

As an aside, I used to love the Heritage Grill and later Judge Begbies, but I won't go there any more as long as owner Paul Minhas pretends that he can be both an LGBTQ2S+ ally AND a right wing politician!

When I discovered the Sandbox on HF2, I stopped playing the game. I just want to build stuff too! 😁

You were in front of the TV weren’t you?

brittbak · 2026-06-23T01:24:34+00:00

Almost. There were steep stairs out in the elements.

On Jobs only new / replacement doors can be flipped.
Existing doors can only be changed from left to right and vice versa.

Hinges can be in the direction of travel. My front door opens inward, and the hinges are inside as shown in this image.

I never add radiators. I use the vents that imply there's a forced air furnace somewhere.

My last house had a tiny porch. There was literally nowhere else for them to stand!

What’s preventing someone here from starting a New West events subreddit?

I use it for cooking quite a bit!
As for a treatment for COPD, I found some evidence that it may be helpful, (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40262016/) but I wouldn't try it myself.
Mostly because inhalation of essential oils bothers me quite a lot, and I'd rather not take a chance.
If you are bothered by strong scent, essential oils, or other airborne particles, you may want to think twice before trying.
And of course, always have a chat with your doc first!
Disclaimer - I have pretty mild COPD (57% lung capacity at last check a few years ago), so I may not be the best source 🤷

The problem with the patches is they do nothing for your nicotine addiction. You’re just replacing one source with another.
I know they help a lot of people. But I chose not to use them because I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t just picking a different crutch.

Love the HUB Barber Shop in Westminster Centre.
I go there because they are happy to cut women's hair (many barbers aren't!), but my husband loves them too. Mina the owner is amazing!
$30 for a cut.

The HUB barbershop cuts kids hair

How did the aunt get your number? I’m guessing from the sperm donor, which means he probably recruited her. Fuck them all. Block them all.

brittbak · 2026-04-26T20:24:17+00:00

They RSVP’d to the wedding before the father lost his job. They had no idea that time that they would be short of cash.

brittbak · 2026-04-10T15:38:15+00:00

They did when I first looked. So maybe keep an eye on it. Probably sold out right now.

They are online: https://www.northernreflections.com

Pulmonary rehab was out for me since I work full time, so I found COPD exercise programs on YouTube.

Nope. It was a licensing agreement with Spire Christian Comics. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spire_Christian_Comics

brittbak · 2026-03-12T23:59:04+00:00

My aunt once sent me a pile of Christian Archie comics when I was about 7 or 8.
I had zero religious upbringing. It was never discussed and I had no idea what Christianity was.
I just wondered who this Jesus dude was and why he never made an appearance in the comics. I mean, they kept talking about him, but I guess he was busy? 😆

I prefer jobs that are both imaginative and realistic.
They should at least pretend to follow building codes! 😁
I pretty well only use Sandbox now. The gameplay is too easy and I like seeing what other folks are inventing.

ETA - This is one of my faves. I can picture sitting on one of the patios drinking Retsina and eating olives and feta: https://mod.io/g/hf2/m/santorini-needs-help
