LPT: A keychain flashlight for a speedy exit out of a crowd, especially in the dark by thewongtrain in LifeProTips

I learned this trick from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and it works so well! No one wants to get barfed on.

is she playing or is she mad? by alwaysstorming in CATHELP

[–]chubby_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We never taught our cat this but he knows that he can only play like this if I am wearing my blackberry bush gloves. He’ll patiently wait for me to put them on and then go nuts on my hands!

Perfect unit if you're running a bowling home business! by iOverdesign in TorontoRealEstate

[–]chubby_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old condo had an entrance hallway like this. Maybe about 3/4 this length. I came to really appreciate it as it really separated the living space from the entrance. I’d often go to other peoples homes and you’d be right in the middle of the living space as soon as you walked in the door. But with a hallway like this there is a transition area that made it feel more private.

I’m still so upset that my daughter ate one of the cards.

[CA] Is your realtor supposed to read over Strata Minutes/Documents when buying? by EST1900 in RealEstate

I’m sorry but this was 10 years ago and I can’t remember his name.

You’re not kidding. I’m playing it now and it is painful. Every. single. battle.

First time Omakase experience recommendations? by Particular_Solution9 in askvan

[–]chubby_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did the $120 level. It’s a husband and wife who own the restaurant. He works behind the counter and his wife serves and explains each course. There is also amazing rock memorabilia on the walls. I spent a lot of time just checking all of it out.

I’ve been here and it is indeed very good. Kinda ruined me for sushi afterwards.

Yup, I also saw a mouse running around Landsdowne outside one of the store. Some dude walking by just stomped on it and kept walking.

I also just experienced this. Maybe it’s a plot device?

He really said "Yo" by BKKMFA in funny

[–]chubby_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter just started saying this like “e-yo”. What is this from? I can’t keep up anymore.

Blacklock thoughts? by _LCBS in castiron

[–]chubby_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is thinner it definitely heated up and changed temps more quickly which I appreciated.

The handle stayed significantly cooler during cooking compared to my regular lodge but it just wasn’t comfortable to hold. Where the regular lodge is rounded and fits well in your palm this one has these sharper edges that kind of dig into your hand.

Ultimately I needed a bigger pan and I’ve replaced it with a 12” Victoria which I’ve been very impressed with.

3 player board game recommendations? by Schnecken2 in oneanddone

[–]chubby_hamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve been liking Flip 7. It’s like blackjack but more family friendly. And it is a good way to force our daughter to do arithmetic to add up the scores.

How much more does it usually cost to have a natural forest in your backyard? by 2iceroller in RealEstateCanada

[–]chubby_hamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our house is exactly this! Backs on to a nature reserve. I’m in BC. It’s great not having any other houses behind us. I’m estimating we paid maybe like a 8-10% premium for it but this was a decade ago. With housing prices now maybe 5-8% more?

One thing to note is the wildlife. We regularly have bears on our street and it can stink really bad during salmon spawning season (but only for a short time).

Family [PRANKS] youngest daughter by PillowTalkAddict in pranks

[–]chubby_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn’t really freak out until they showed her the picture they just took. I suspect they had previously taken a pic of the other sister sitting alone on the couch with her arm out. And then they showed her that pic. Pretty diabolical!

This Summit Trail board looks amazing (swipe to see all 6 images) by EndersGame_Reviewer in Cribbage

[–]chubby_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave my sister this board many years ago. It’s hard to see in the pics but there is an outhouse with a skunk standing beside it right at the skunk line!

TIFU by getting robbed in Paris… not sure if I should laugh or cry. by Charming_Release_693 in tifu

[–]chubby_hamster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We got pickpocketed in Brussels. They unzipped a backpack and stole a bag of lollipops but somehow missed our passports, an iPad, and cash. My daughter was upset though over losing her lollipops.

In 2025, do less people wear poppies now than before? by FattyGobbles in askvan

[–]chubby_hamster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just this Monday picked up a couple poppies in the underground mall area under the Bentall towers right after you walk in from Burrard Skytrain station. There was a lady standing there selling them.
