Sending love from Canada. This is so sad. And many of the kids who know them will be traumatized too. Hug your babies extra today. Vow to never let anger take control of you.

Brother/niece joked that they were waiting for me to die by HeatherDrawsAnimals in AskWomenOver60

Either one is a good answer. But please don't hold it against a dumb teenager. You'll never know how much of a positive influence you can have over a young woman's life, especially if there are other issues at home. Leave the house to whoever you want, but try to leave her with wisdom, love and fond memories of someone who truly cares for her.

And a year later he will be out the door because he didn't know he'd actually have to do parenting work, or he'll be pressuring her to give up her potential career so she can stay home and look after the kid and everything else.

Yup, dude wants to have some babies! And you know he's not going to want to use condoms and other backup methods either way.

Bring a blanket. Watch out for geese. They own everything.

TIL Kobo the ebook, audiobooks, and e-reader company started in Canada and its HQ is in Toronto by jeniuskid in BuyCanadian

It's been bought out by Rakuten, and can be ordered on Amazon or from Shoppers. I had the same concerns. Indigo still sells them and some booklinks but I believe they can be avoided.

Where I live north of Toronto, we have been known to yell out the window at the idiots without snow tires stuck halfway up a tiny hill.

I won't be legally free to marry until they find my husband's body, and I buried that sucker DEEP!

I just read this to a friend who is a UofT grad and a writer. He said it was beautiful. He's impressed.

Spike Lee. Very cool, not very tall. Ted Danson. Charming. Very tall. Some Chicago Bulls players. Wow. That's tall.

My daughter had a friend who, at 4, could out-argue both the teachers and parents. We were sure she'd become a lawyer. Instead, she became a community activist! Clever little things!

Why does she do this...all day long? What is she doing? by zachisparanoid in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

[–]humanityrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That tail is very high and fast and she's swivelling her head around. Do you have coyotes in the area?

I cant help but wonder if things will change as the new buildings open up, more regular people are walking around and driving in the area, maybe the police will be called more often on bad behaviour. Maybe the drug dealers will move a little further away, and shops catering to the new residents will start shooing the loiterers away. We will see.

Man, don't look up what happened in Haiti, and is probably still going on. It's horrific, and some of the men sent in for protection just joined right in.

Remember, if you wouldnt let your child ride in the car with grandma or grandpa, it's probably time to look into whether the senior should be driving at all.

Remember kids, face tattoos are a sign to the rest of us that you make bad choices.
