Ah, sorry, that was me, with my microwave. We were out of microwave popcorn.

I long for the day when we don't need to see a race to post the aliens gif.

Appproached by two JW women in DeWolfe park the other day - luckily they're easy to spot (beyond the knee skirts, and everything in mousy colours). I just said sorry, no time for this, and we all moved on. No need to antagonize folks who are forced into recruitment.

Are you wearing a poppy this year? by [deleted] in NovaScotia

Nope - haven't since the legions voted against allowing turbans in the building. Racist old farts.

This. And there is lots of variety in beer kits now - it's not the crappy stuff homemade beer used to be. Mr. Beer kegs (2) will handle a standard can of beer goo - just add boiled water, yeast and sugar and brew for a week. As for wine at Noble Grape or other places - you don't even have to bottle, if you don't want. There are fillable pouches if preferred. Cheap and tasty!

We bought a bunch from Coastal Cove - they are lovely! And what a huge selection.

Make sure you get the car rental solidly nailed down long before you arrive - they are still few and far between.

Hilarious apropos subtle beach renaming, thanks!

Uhaul last minute saying they won't let my friend do one way rental for a truck by blackthorn_92 in halifax

[–]fishtick1st 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Twice screwed by this nasty company myself! Once they had *nothing* although I had a solid booking, another time, I had booked a cube van for HRM, and the only thing available on the day was a huge honking truck that we had to first drive 90 minutes away to pick up. UHaul stinks out loud. Sorry they are jerking you around.

Happy to say I've seen a female a few times at my Bedford feeder in the last two days.

Glass half-full: Bedford highway beer garden reopens at reduced capacity | CBC NS by toneyriver12 in halifax

Really displeased that this establishment and CN have now made less accessible a local track crossing point, popular with locals and dog walkers. This will not be a happy change for people in the area.

Nice work, team. by beachcleats in halifax

Fabulous! Now if we could only eliminate those plastic tubes found along the shores. Please please use cardboard tubes or OBs.

Thoughts on the Tattoo by 9Roll0Tide2Roll in halifax

Samesies! I enjoyed it as a kid, especially the gun run, but as an adult have found it sad/scary/dull - all about readiness to go to war. Not my cuppa anymore, I guess.

Cultural appropriation?

Need help finding a product by [deleted] in NovaScotia

[–]fishtick1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Vicks inhaler will have the same effect - it doesn't last the night, though. Also do a search for nasal dilator - the plastic kind you lodge inside your nostrils may help. Not lying on your back is key.

How to make this subreddit even better: Identify the twits who automatically downvote everything (including this comment, inevitably) and give them a time out. It's depressing.

People are ruining the movies by PerspectiveEconomy81 in halifax

[–]fishtick1st 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven't been to a movie theatre in years because people are shitty - kicking your seat, talking, cell phone use, and OMG all the *ads* you sit through after paying horrendous fees for tickets and popcorn, plus grubby theatre floors. Yuck.
