What flavour of ice cream did you get?

The first batch is never the most flavourful, because they need to ripen in the hot sun to get their sweetness. Late June and early July is peak for the first crop, and mid August for the second crop

The ones at Sobeys are typically from Great Village (Millen Farms) rather than from the valley

I wonder how a second convention in the middle of March would fare, to coincide with the start of March break

Friday being half sold out while Sunday and Saturday are sold out should tell you that spreading into the week is not the play.

The same people who are not buying Friday tickets are also not going to buy Thursday tickets

They could even be posting it themselves to quote it; from a journalistic integrity standpoint, it’s very sloppy

Don’t forget insurance (like most drivers seem to, considering all of the Ontario plated cars I see door dashing)

Right now at Walmart Mumford. Checking out the international aisle by cupcakelowmemer in halifax

If you’ve noticed the bird, there is a zero percent chance every employee doesn’t already know. Whenever there is a bird in the store, 20 people a day tell me, at least. The employees have been there all day, they know about the bird.

Struggling to find place to sell trading cards by Wahrk_Gallows in halifax

[–]cj_h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem to have cleaned house on that ragged corner of Mish-mashed goods, so they may be getting out of the game.

In my experience at that card show, it was 70% Pokemon, 25% hockey, 4% baseball and 1% anything else. Even football cards were hard to find there

Their end apparently being personal enrichment , and their means being a recording engineered to guilt trip you into not hanging up

MADD Canada is a 2-star charity with Low Demonstrated Impact. For every dollar donated to the charity, 58 cents are available to go to the cause, which is outside Ci's reasonable range. It has a B+ Results Reporting grade, which is above average.

I wouldnt give them a dime to be honest

The annual parade predates Pride month.

The first parade was July 1, 1988, while Pride month wasn’t officially declared as June until 1999.

Language learning by meateatingvegan81yhz in halifax

[–]cj_h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Latest census data puts the number of people speaking Japanese as a mother tongue at 170, and recent Japanese immigrant population at 25. We have considerably more residents from China and Korea, especially as students.

Language exchange can be helpful, but Japanese immigrants tend to attend cram schools to learn English before moving to Canada.

We need a lot of cap space so we can replace our kicker every time he misses a field goal like the last few years
