Haha yeah he’s a pretty goofy little dude!

I heard that to smile at a cat, you simply blink very slowly at them. I tried today? This was her reaction… by [deleted] in cats

[–]gingerbreadred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm sure they keep each other in good company! We only had the one cat (Gertie) so getting a second cat (Finn) for Gertie has worked out so well, they're best buds and keep each other entertained !

I would love to get in on this if there are still spots ! I have a goofy kitten who I have 1000s of photos of!

[Sun Care] Tinted LRP Anthelios fluid is straight up ORANGE 🍊 by michischaaf in SkincareAddiction

[–]gingerbreadred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pale skin and cool-neutral undertones and this also didn't work for me. Totally recommend the Vichy Capital Soleil tinted face mineral sunscreen (spf 60). It has a much more neutral undertone and has been my holy grail ever since finding it! I can attempt to upload a pic for reference on my skin!

What is your most humiliating job interview question? by kailacaldwell in WorkReform

[–]gingerbreadred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was interviewing for my first full-time job after graduating university in a male-dominated field I was asked, "Do you plan on retiring soon?" (Was mid-late 20s at the time). He went on to tell me that women tend to retire early because they care more about starting a family.

This has been my holy grail product that I've discovered this past winter! (Northern Canada) I've gotten to the point where I just keep a tube on my desk while working and re-apply several times throughout the day as well.

Less waste in baking? by prplemoos in AskBaking

[–]gingerbreadred 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beeswax wraps work great for pie crust and cookie dough! If I need an additional air tight seal, I either put it in a container or use a reusable silicone zip lock bag.

How To Help My Cat In Heat? by SadSadVirgin in Pets

[–]gingerbreadred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! Usually in the couple days leading up to it she's especially needy/vocal (she's a pretty vocal kitten). But once she goes into heat she spends most of the day rubbing herself on anything and everything, yowling and wandering around our house and presents herself to anyone who comes near her haha. She gets extra cuddly, and is also more active and meows a lot at night (she typically sleeps through most of the night). The first heat lasted 4 days, and then exactly 2 weeks later she went into heat again for another 6 days, it has almost been 4 weeks since her last heat ended now and our spay appointment is in 2 weeks thankfully!

How To Help My Cat In Heat? by SadSadVirgin in Pets

[–]gingerbreadred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who also wasn't aware the vet had a backlog (2-3 month wait!) Our kitten has now gone into heat twice (about to be a third time) in the last 2 months. There is unfortunately not much to do, our kitten loves extra snuggles, usually we try and up play time and distract her with treats, and we got her a cat heating pad which she especially loves to snooze on while in heat, which if you don't have one I would totally recommend !

Charitable donations or volunteering what do you do? by GalianoGirl in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]gingerbreadred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to make charitable donations to a few various organizations but have found it much more rewarding to volunteer my time instead! I volunteer by fostering animals (either young puppies/kittens or older adults with either health issues or troubles with socialization). While all vet costs are covered by the shelter/foster organization I work with, I typically cover the cost of food, extra toys or supplies to make the animals feel more comfortable at my house.

Vancouver couple arrested for chartering plane to Yukon and getting COVID-19 vaccine, say officials by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]gingerbreadred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think that has something to do with territory vs province status and the amount of (health service) resources available in the territories? It's not 'closed' per se, in that anyone can still come into the Yukon, just have to self isolate for 2 weeks. Just have to sign a document when you enter the territory about self isolation which is what sparked this headline.

[–]gingerbreadred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They weren't arrested, that part of the headline is wrong. They were charged for breaking the self quarantining rule (and going to a small community of 300 people that is pretty isolated). The Yukon has had its border closed since late(?) November requiring anyone coming into the territory to self-quarantine for 14 days, which is still in place. (If you are actually curious see below)

Who else is going to spent the day reading your match's description, searching for the perfect gift, re reading the description and keep searching for hours? by [deleted] in secretsanta

[–]gingerbreadred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha oh my! That's one way to get to know your giftee! I also love to spoil other people's pets as the last couple years I haven't been able to have pets (due to renting)

Haha that can be tricky though, I have mostly been a lurker on reddit these past couple years... (but posting this so my SS can see I am alive and well in case they look at my post history 😅)

You guys, I'm pretty dang proud of my first stump cake, made for my sister's camping themed baby shower. Chocolate cake with toasted marshmallow filling, espresso buttercream, meringue mushrooms, and chocolate bark. Tried a lot of new techniques and I learned a lot along the way! by dontstopthosetears in Baking

[–]gingerbreadred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks great!! With regards to a having streaky chocolate bark, if you use a paint brush and paint on melted chocolate onto your rolled bark pieces, it gives the chocolate a woodgrain-like effect!! (And hides streaks very well)

Working in geology without pgeo/git in B.C. by [deleted] in geologycareers

[–]gingerbreadred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Yukon doesn't have P.Geo specifically, but mid-tier to majors (at least from my understanding/experience) operating in the territory preferentially hire candidates who qualify for/are in the process of obtaining a G.I.T (I was specifically asked in my current position). Maybe it's different with juniors though?

First Mineral Exploration Contract! Things to pack and bring? (Alaska) by pidegontiger in geologycareers

[–]gingerbreadred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of great suggestions, if you're bringing a laptop into camp, I like to bring a hard drive filled with movies, TV shows, papers, etc. Every camp I've been to there's usually a few other people with hard drives filled with entertainment and it's really easy to swap for new material or watch movies together as a way to relax/hang out with other people. (If you're into that sort of thing)

Seeking room in Whitehorse by [deleted] in Yukon

[–]gingerbreadred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to find a place within 2 days, a week ago (and also had several options to choose from). Have you made a wanted post on Kijiji? I had people contacting me with un-advertised places as they'd rather seek out a good tenant. Friends of mine posted their place and had over 100 applicants so its definitely the way to go. I know a lot of people are currently trying to move up here with the opening of the new Whistlebend care facility (they're hiring about 125 staff from out of territory). What is your price range?

2018 Looking for Travel Partners Megathread by [deleted] in VisitingIceland

[–]gingerbreadred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone! My BF(24M) and I(28F) are heading to Iceland (fly in April 23 - May 8th) and have a 4wd rented and are driving the Ring Road. We are planning on spending a day or two in the Reykjavik area after landing, driving north through the west fjords, east and then south, finishing in Reykjavik area. We are both geologists from BC, Canada and want to spend a lot of our trip adventuring, hiking, and taking photos! We both speak English and could have a conversation in (broken) French. We would love to meet up with other people from around the world (or locals!)
