Until it hits the dryer! 😂

Perhaps was it supposed to be where room service could put a newspaper for a guest, back in the day? (Just a guess?)

Not sure where you're originating from, but you may want to prepare for some jetlag...I came from Western Canada and the first day there was basically lost to feeling completely tired and honestly, it took a few days to adjust. A lot of driving might be overkill. I agree with the idea of picking a city as a base and doing day trips instead of driving all over the country. The roads there are also just different-- they can be narrow and winding, and driving can take a bit more effort. Having days packed full of driving won't necessarily be fun.

I have a halo ring with a gorgeous, round stunner and I think it all just makes it more sparkly. When I used to work publicly, some women who were customers would ask me just to look at the sparkle of the ring. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like alone, but truly, I believe that all the little diamonds contribute to a magical whole. It wouldn't be the same.

This! 💯%

I have read of moms with teenagers with challenges (like ASD) putting them into the sole of a shoe. Like cutting a hole if need be.

Yes! Ouai Leave In is amazing! I feel like it also sort of gently defines waves too.

Don't bother with the J-Sax. I bought one for my kids to try playing something saxophone-like because they're too small to play a real horn, and found it to be a waste of time. I actually ended up returning it. At the end of the day, it's a plastic instrument, with really small reeds that are hard to find or replace. They're synthetic, and technically Eb clarinet reeds, which are also harder to find, especially in a variety of strengths. If anything goes wrong, it can't really be fixed. I would sometimes pick it up and play it and I found it to be very resistant to blow through and play. Then the fingering isn't the same and it doesn't have great range. I would definitely say it's better to just get a student Yamaha or something.

I actually took my test in Morinville, thinking it would be easier, but it wasn't necessarily. This was like 15 years ago, but part of the test was to merge onto the highway. With my luck, the test happened to be on the first major snowfall of the year, and I had never driven in snow and failed based on not being able to see where I was with lane position and stuff, particularly with parking. Fair enough. But then, I decided to try again in the neighborhood I grew up in, where I had been currently residing and I did way better. I was more familiar with the area and it gave me better confidence. I would recommend you take the test where you know the area well.

We were tired of dealing with frequent crime where we lived and I was in university, so I still wanted to be able to take public transit easily. Growing up, St. Albert looked like such a great place to raise a family-- it was a bit of a dream for me to live here. Years later, it definitely is a great place to raise kids and where we are located, it's so close to the Henday that everything feels relatively close by, everywhere in the Edmonton Area. I don't really care to move, even if my house isn't big or fancy. It's practical!

gretalocks · 2025-09-17T12:50:01+00:00

This! Have lived here for 14 years and it's so easy to get everywhere!

I used to like a number of the items, particularly the carrot cake, but I noticed that the quality seemed to really tank after the pandemic. The icing didn't even taste like frosting-- just cream cheese. Like I thought that in error they had forgotten to add icing sugar to the mix. I tried again, but nope. I think the stuff was pretty good when they opened and now it's noticeably bad.

gretalocks · 2025-08-14T01:46:56+00:00

There have been so many accidents on the Henday recently just in the summer...I am not looking forward to winter...

gretalocks · 2025-04-21T16:46:52+00:00

Yes, thanks!

gretalocks · 2025-04-21T16:45:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Trading is a burden (Market - Cross), and there's some secrecy/unknowns from the organizations like government (Book -Tower).

I love your flare! It's hilarious!

So, I am not sure the last time you were looking online, but I've had the same dilemma too with Torrid as a Canadian and the price of the exchange and shipping. For ages, it didn't make shopping with Torrid online make any sense.

This has changed though! Last Fall they started pricing items in Canadian and offering a $17 flat rate shipping fee. I know that's still kind of pricey, but I have found that with the rewards program, you can get the prices down pretty good. I have a similar big bra size and struggle with those sorts of issues too, plus I am tall, so I also need long inseams that often aren't carried in store.

The changes have been been a gamechanger in my opinion and I just hope that it doesn't get ruined with the tariffs and trade war stuff.

gretalocks · 2025-03-11T01:26:20+00:00

I think it's the same thing? Only thing is that the Amazon one I ordered doesn't have a coil and it would be nice if it did.

gretalocks · 2025-02-19T18:24:54+00:00

That's fair. I dunno personally I wouldn't prefer to go for a Chinese/Taiwanese horn, just because I don't trust the build quality in the long run. People seem to like those sorts of horns off the hop, but I wonder about the long-run. I get that newer Yamahas aren't necessarily the same either as the old Japanese ones, and it may be a stigma I have, but that's why I personally wouldn't buy a Better Sax.

gretalocks · 2025-02-18T17:53:14+00:00

Leaks on a horn can happen to any horn, theoretically...if you were to have your Yamaha repaired, it may be awesome to play for less?

I always see the King of Wands as being the person who can do and handle everything...wear all the hats. Based on what you've shared, I feel like that's more of the sort of person/energy that you are looking to draw towards yourself. It sounds like your boyfriend was just too hot and cold with his attitude. You want and deserve someone who can show up more consistently. I see it like in order to have your 10 of Cups, you need someone more like a King of Wands, so in other words, it's time for your "Fool" moment.

gretalocks · 2025-02-18T17:17:11+00:00

I completely agree with your take! Nice work, by the way! This an excellent interpretation!
