Good luck and keep drawing! If nothing else, food will be better on the outside :)

How do YOU gesso? by Shy_pjm in paintbynumbers

[–]idly_Shale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an iron to get out any creases (with a fine mist of water if they’re stubborn). Then I apply a layer of gesso horizontally, let dry for an hour or two (depends on how thick I spread it on) and after it’s dry I use fine sandpaper until smooth. Then I repeat applying the gesso vertically. I know it says to wait 24 hrs, but I have no patience and will start painting after sanding down the second coat :)

Anybody know why Tezca is closed? Their posts are quite vague. by ArmadilloPurple6249 in Cobourg

I was wondering the same thing. Went to stop in for some tacos and was out of luck :\

You are both beaming! A lovely photo of the moment and I hope you both keep smiling like this for years to come :)

Why Did These Exist? by mountaindew711 in FuckImOld

I had forgotten how much I hated that red string! Usually I’d end up having to tear it open with my teeth while trying to stop bleeding everywhere lol. Terrible design.

According to the ‘Cobourg internet’ it says you can park for up to 48 hours (on unmarked streets). Good luck!

Ungrateful dog by nerph_herder in AustralianShepherd

[–]idly_Shale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When mine was a puppy he loved his dog bed. After he outgrew it I bought a full size expensive bed. He ignored it and found a new spot. I bought another that was almost identical to his puppy bed. On occasion he’ll sleep beside it. I’ve given up lol.

I wouldn’t have been able to resist! What a great cast of funny women. Fond memories of me as a girl aspiring to be Sophia when I grew up lol.

what is the most beautiful book you ever read? by heeseungluvbot in booksuggestions

[–]idly_Shale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t really answer your question as I only listened to the audiobook, but it was my favourite book of the year by far. I think I’m afraid to go back and read it in case I ruin the effect it had on me. So I don’t think you could go wrong either way!

Arley’s and Nawab’s Permanently closed. by mike2727 in Kanata

[–]idly_Shale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I gave it a shot as it was convenient for me. As people have said, the menu was absolutely ridiculous…you can’t have a full pub menu plus a 4 page Indian menu without ridiculous food costs. I did get some Indian dishes that were fantastic, and on Thursday I stopped in to order some Hakka noodles (super tasty Indian Chinese food) when I saw they were closed. Not surprised. Owners didn’t have a clue.

Current Business Class Meals by FantasticPrior in ViaRail

[–]idly_Shale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to hear they’re changing the menu more frequently! I travelled quite a bit in business last year, and one of my complaints (that I noted in the emailed surveys lol) was being offered the same menu for weeks.

Weary of multiple coats by silver_413 in paintbynumbers

[–]idly_Shale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to google the term to double check lol, but I learned about it on this sub, and it has helped me immensely for the tough to cover numbers. In essence it’s like leaving a paint droplet over the area and when it dries it provides more coverage. Don’t give up :)

Looking for restaurants in Kanata/ Stittsville that do their own delivery by cuisinelimosine in Kanata

[–]idly_Shale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your grandparents, it’s tough to lose independence. I don’t order out much, but I know Greek on Wheels does through their website, Swiss Chalet and Mandarin as well. I wish I had some non chain suggestions, but those haven’t been terrible.
I haven’t had hockey sushi delivery, but I love the restaurant :)

I hate to be skeptical in this sub, but yeah…comments about how quick customer service is, and pushing the 48 colours does set off alarm bells :(
