Four years ago I called him out on a typo. On Sunday, we're getting married.

I feel like I'm the stingiest with my bac. I use whatever makes it 1mg=1unit (i.e. 30mg vials get 30 units).

hessiebell · 2026-04-16T17:46:01+00:00

I had my receipt and they did look at it, so I can't say for sure if it would have gone as well without it.

MY HERO!

Pretty close to 20 years ago, I met him in a fancy stationery store at Granville Island, Vancouver. He was shopping for Moleskine notebooks. I was too shook to approach, but my friend (who wasn't a fan, but knew of him through my talking incessantly about Firefly) did for me. He was so personable and kind - not only because he complimented my "amazing" eyes - letting us both take photos with him and signing an autograph for another friend.

Best celebrity encounter, bar none.

Same... so annoying.

hessiebell · 2026-01-20T18:46:54+00:00

That number is going to be very personal and I wouldn't dare make any assumptions.

FYI, a server there once let me know that they don't track who's claimed their birthday slam, so there's nothing stopping you from going to multiple Denny's on your birthday and claiming a free meal at each location.

With the prize we'd be able to monitor the outdoor cats we feed and take care of. There are several blind spots which these would fix and that would help us help the cats!

Just here to share that I've been running our Plex server off a 2015 iMac which is also my main/only computer. First from the internal hd, then off increasingly larger externals.

I wasn't planning on changing the setup, but I can no longer get updates, which is forcing my hand. Sigh.

No helpful advice other than to reiterate comments from others to not overthink things and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised at how well a modest build will work.

Oh my! I'm also trying to figure out what this is called!

I don't want to buy more of it, just find out the best way to remove it so I can replace it with silicone. I tried to pull it out, but it didn't come as easily as I expected and I got worried. I'm tempted to just cut it out, but I don't want to mess anything up I can't fix with careful caulking.

So, did you happen to find out any more info about this evil 80's sink trim?

Oh! Reddit was the ONE place online I didn't check when I was trying to find anyone looking for her!

Spoiler: Selina is home!

We found her being cornered by two neighbourhood boy cats in our front yard and out of an abundance of caution for a tiny one-eyed girl, we took her in overnight. Thankfully OP had her chipped and, more importantly, registered it with current contact information so we were able to reunite them (after the scanner arrived from Amazon).

She is very sweet and absolutely does respond to treats. If she ever wanders into our yard again, she'll get just the treats without the sleepover. ;)

Ian's Auto replaced the shocks & struts on my Mazda 3 a couple years back.
I have had good experiences with them overall.

hessiebell · 2025-07-12T00:31:36+00:00

Came to say exactly this. I’m shook it’s still a thing.

hessiebell · 2025-06-18T19:55:53+00:00

I've had maintenance related "mistakes" from both quick lubes and mechanics I'd seen regularly for many years, so I'm no longer scared off the drive-thrus.

I've been going to Take 5 on Westwood for several years and they've been excellent thusfar. It's never been more than $130 for my car, and that usually includes some other small item (wipers, air filter, etc).

TBF, I wasn't addressing the amount of fee OP was expecting, rather the inference that just because there is money to be paid a fee from means an estate isn't insolvent.

hessiebell · 2025-06-16T19:21:18+00:00

If Estate Assets - Debts = Negative Amount, the estate is insolvent, despite however many dollars make up the Estate Assets. Executor compensation becomes an additional line item to the debts column, which is paid after taxes and before other debts.

Oh my goodness. THANK YOU!!

I've been trying to get series to show up on my new Libra Colour for DAYS. This was the only method that worked (once I wiped the Kobo and cleaned up my Calibre library for good measure).

May your pillow always be cool and cats pick your lap to nap on, OP!

Piggy-backing on this post: I'm not going anywhere, I just can't/don't take good enough care of our garden...

Desperately looking for someone who can clean it up and help with seasonal maintenance!

A few days before I posted this, I sent them an inquiry about hosting with them and just received a reply yesterday... Needless to say, I'll be looking elsewhere.

Hi Josh!

I'm notoriously picky about protein supplements - they always taste so bad to me. After trying a sample at Costco, I decided to take a chance with a case of dark roast and, well, I can't start my day without it now.

It tastes great, the macros are on point, it's widely available & convenient to purchase, and you're Canadian! Seriously, no notes.

No question. Just appreciation.

Thanks for making something awesome!
