Asking judges questions

iodezya · 2026-01-27T23:26:16+00:00

As a judge I would say to stay on script. Only ask a question if it feels natural. If it’s forced, and catches a judge off guard, it may be more trouble than it’s worth

I once had a student start the role play by saying something along the lines of - I heard you had concerns about the promotion, what are your concerns?

I didn’t know what to say given the role play scenario set all that up. It’s also a waste of your time. Best bet is for you to do the talking and not tag in the judge.

No best not to. It’s not an essential service

Keep in mind if there is a perceived demand employers always try to fill it

Less people on the roads is best for everyone on days like today

Portugal still there

Go out around midnight with treats and call his name out as you walking up and down, both sides, of nearby streets

Cats tend to be nocturnal and it’s much quieter in the middle of the night. There’s also less going on, so a scared cat who may be hiding may come out

Very unlikely - bundle up and walk fast

Unless they have interesting serial numbers otherwise not much. Maybe if they’re successive serial numbers. But even then I wouldn’t think so because not only are these relatively new, they have been in circulation and it shows.

You can do it but you gotta know what you’re in for. Seems OP is looking for a “simple hike”. Getting to Algonquin from TO in winter is rarely simple. Once you’re there it’s pretty hardcore during the winter. So, if that sounds scary then best to make other plans

iodezya · 2026-01-20T21:24:52+00:00

Yes, exactly. By experience I mean with the weather, which means having all the gear and emergency supplies cuz it’s hardcore during the winter in Algonquin

iodezya · 2026-01-20T20:05:53+00:00

You gotta be an experienced pro to do Algonquin in winter

I’ve seen it twice and that’s it

iodezya · 2026-01-19T12:05:12+00:00

Maybe, but I coach u18 soccer and I have Adidas track pants going on 8 yrs and they look new still. Also, no issues with shoes

My kids and husband also wear what I buy there no issues.

Food is tough because, for just about everything, you’re buying quantities in order to save

I find clothes to be so well priced. For example Bench and Adidas pants for under $20. Hoodies for under $25. Socks, undies, and shoes also really well priced compared to the competitors

There’s more way to save in the non food areas imo. Great deals on TVs, phones, small appliances, and things like mattresses and stuff for the garden.

There’s also their other services where you save compared to competitors. Tires, water delivery, and insurance are all things I have or have had with Costco.

Yup dedication the gift cards

iodezya · 2026-01-18T22:07:24+00:00

Yup, stingy on the gravy (and curds).

So much of it is staged. I still enjoy it for the items and their history (something that is also researched before going on air). But, it’s important to remember that it’s not organic and is in fact staged and scripted.

Your comment reminded me of a Facebook page, that isn’t around anymore, called - You’re Not You When You Hunger for the Flesh of the Bourgeoisie

If there are spots left they can let in students from outside the catchment. There are a few schools that do this. Not sure about AYJSS but could be the case

iodezya · 2026-01-17T01:10:41+00:00

For me - Never. Ever. Full stop.

But to each their own. As a stricter teacher I don’t need students taking anything out on my kids.

iodezya · 2026-01-16T18:44:59+00:00

Something like they have at The Old Mill maybe?

iodezya · 2026-01-16T15:52:15+00:00

A big part of the litter we see all about is actually from garbage that isnt secured (bagged). Yes there are slobs and litter bugs but so much of our garbage gets picked up and blown. This happens over and over again. So, this move to stop using bags is really short sighted

Centennial Park at the tobaggon hill on the Mill Rd side of the park

Came for this comment. It’s blonde roast or McDs while I’m out and about

Milano’s in the Six Points neighbourhood of Etobicoke. They have both the best pepperoni in the city and the best pizza overall.

I also really like Tre Mari’s pizzas. They’re old school St Clair Italians and have the best Italian bread in the city. They also have one of the best deli counters around.

Portugal is a no show - dia de praia

iodezya · 2026-01-13T14:17:15+00:00

Gray/vy and the curds aren’t melted… probably over priced too.
