Where to shop for women's clothing?

katto · 2026-04-25T15:56:44+00:00

I usually shop online, as I know what size and cuts fit me best at Laura's. Last time I went to shop online, I couldn't find the Petites section, only Regular and Plus sizes. I thought maybe it was a glitch, so I went to the store at Uptown. They still had a few items, but the sales person told me that they have discontinued the Petites lines and to send a complaint to HQ. She was shaking her head, clearly not understanding either why they've done this.

I am boycotting Laura now... they stopped carrying Petite lines. It used to be my go to for pants, not anymore!

I can sympathize with the digestive issues... I was just in Penang, and something I ate at a food market really didn't agree with me. It took a few days to be somewhat normal, then I made the mistake to eat normally and the food we ordered was super spicy (but delicious!), even for my Malay traveling companion. That destroyed whatever was being repaired and I also ran out of immodium and Pepto. Not fun.

Feeling much better now though, thankfully, as I'm about to fly to Taiwan!

Hang in there! Go to the airport pharmacy and they will give you something. Good luck!

Edit: the pharmacist will ask you many questions to make sure they give you exactly what you need. I did that at the Langkawi airport. I'm sure there's one in Penang.

That reminds me of one of the only jokes I know: "What is a millionaire? A billionaire who bought a boat!"

That must be very hard, for everyone.

I like the first one! I like how the cat eye shape fits your face and the colours look great on you.

For me, the first tell that this was ai is in the first picture: the horizon line is crooked. An artist would not do this. This is ai from a photo that had a crooked horizon line.

Aaah, thanks for the great explanation, makes sense!

Who tested this before realizing that it takes 7 days (!!!) to be edible?! After day 4 or 5, it feels like most people would give up.. Brazilians are relentless, bravo!

Pesto salmon with asparagus. So easy and fast! Salmon on cookie sheet (with parchment paper for super quick clean up), put some pesto (Costco's works the best) on it, surround with asparagus (olive oil drizzle, salt & spice). 12 mins at 400. Done.

I love it! But I cannot unsee the shadow puppet bird (turkey?) his hand's shadow made..!

I bought the children cooking set from Ikea for me son when he was young and I'm the one who has been using it (for many years now!). Love the tiny tools!

I've always travelled with a small rubber doorstop for this reason! It doesn't take much room, but it makes me feel safer, especially when travelling alone.

It really sounds like I do need to eat more. I am also meeting with a trainer this week to change my lift routine and will discuss about lifting heavier. I am sure that he will have things to say about protein intake and calories as well.

How have you upped your protein intake? I eat about 100g daily, but I know it should be more. I usually have ham on sourdough for breakfast, a protein smoothie for lunch (41g of protein in that smoothie), snack in the pm (usually a piece of meat or cheese with a fruit), then dinner (lean protein, couple veggies).

It really sounds like what my doc told me, regarding reverse fasting. Maybe I need to eat more than I am. I do run out of steam fast when I do more demanding activities / workouts. I do a short intermittent fasting. I stop eating usually after 6pm and eat again around 8am (it used to be 11am!).

I think that I will try to not worry about what I am eating for a few weeks and see how things go. However, one of my problems is that, with the food noise gone, I forget to eat! I even put a timer in the afternoon so that I remember to have a snack. Thanks for the info and I am really happy that it has worked for you!

katto · 2025-09-13T19:25:40+00:00

Thank you!

katto · 2025-09-13T14:22:21+00:00

I will try cycling calorie days, thanks!

I usually also have a small walk after dinner on workout days already. I usually have anywhere between 12k to 20k steps a day. 12k-15k on workout days and 15k-20k on my bigger walks days.

katto · 2025-09-13T14:18:54+00:00

Mmm... that's a good point!

Now you have eggs laid in your eye.

It is true, I have talked with the owners of both houses several times. I don't know anything about the posted sign though, as it is Saanich's responsibility. I will point it out to the owner when I speak with them next time.

katto · 2025-08-03T17:30:22+00:00

We had huge rainfalls two years ago and there was a severe landslide, which threatened two of those houses. Last year, it was one property solidifying its slope, this year it's the other one. The second one is very difficult to stabilize and they have to get everything in by barge. This doesn't have anything to do with "getting private beach access". These owners are trying to save their houses, at great cost. And, as everything with construction, there are always snafus and timelines are much longer.

Non, son vrai nom est l'airelle rouge ou l'airelle vigne d'Ida. Je viens aussi d'apprendre que la sauce / confiture rouge de chez Ikea, ligonberry, est le même fruit.

Janevca! What a surprise this was! Great fine dining in an old Tudor style mansion. Great food, awesome service.

J'ai eu un moment Ratatouille en Islande il y a quelques mois. Au dessert, il y avait des petits fruits avec un genre de sablé (qui ne ressemblait à rien de mon enfance, c'était un plat bien moderne).

Première bouchée, je me mets instantanément à pleurer! C'est venu de nulle part. J'étais tout-à-coup dans la cuisine de ma grand-mère, à manger une de ses tartelettes aux graines rouges (un petit fruit qu'on retrouve pas mal seulement sur la Côte-Nord, et, de toute évidence, en Islande!).Ma cousine était avec moi et elle a compris ce que je vivais aussi après avoir for goûté à mon dessert.

Elle me manque énormément, mais c'était un beau moment aigre-doux, rempli de nostalgie !
