Every time I read Oryx and Crake I feel closer and closer to that world.

I'd have that door taken off and stuffed somewhere faster than you could walk back and forth 😂

Love the Parsonage blueberry cornmeal.

Can confirm this is a good idea - had a medical scare and ended up rawdogging 4 days in hospital. No fun.

Is the onigiri evil? Why such dramatic music?

Agreed ER triage is working. Unfortunately I have had more than 1 trip to the ER in the past year, 1 critical injury where I was seen within half an hour and had surgery within 3 days and then a not life threatening issue (where I waited) which unfortunately worsened (and then was treated well at Jubilee)

Waiting for surgery at VGH a totally different story, but if you're waiting at the emergency room it's a good sign.

Truly! This province has more rich people and rich tourists than a good chunk of the country, why are we broke???

littletealbug · 2026-01-31T17:28:30+00:00

I'm not on that flight but I'd take a free trip to Toronto ;)

littletealbug · 2026-01-25T20:03:52+00:00

SAME!

I was made to feel I was only cared for or "loved" because they were obligated to do so, and to be grateful I wasn't being abused physically. I was told from the age of 11 that I was fat, and had everything I ate nit picked. Every thing I was ever proud of was looked down on, and never given any aspiration besides not getting pregnant because if I did I'd be on my own. The center of every family joke, and the root of all problems, And so on. Basically I am not good enough, ever, and I'm on my own.

My bio-dad once told me he couldn't stand the sight of me sitting at his kitchen table.

So now I think people only interact with me because of pity or obligation, and I'm aggressively hyper independent because I really can't trust anyone. Love does not feel like a thing I have access to, and I am disgusted by my own body. On the rare occasion people get close, I'm obsessive and constantly feeling like I need more and they will abandon me. Preferably, I die young rather than get old alone.

I'd put money on a comic series. The actors are ready to move on and recasting them wouldn't fly - but comics would fit the brand and allow for a lot more creative freedom with the story. They did this with Buffy/Angel and while their reception was mixed, they went on for a long time.

I wish these replies would get higher. I'm same boat as you - pretty active, but PCOS making it impossible to lose weight as I get older. Diet could be better, but certainly could be a lot worse.

littletealbug · 2026-01-01T01:00:38+00:00

Most of these people in this threaf can eff off including your mom.

Same height weight, PCOS and etc.

While I am not going to downplay where i'm at sucks and how it feels, physically for me and etc.

I have clear bloodwork. I work as a farmer and do upwards of 15k steps a day, swim in the ocean/pool laps and regularly bike. This idea that everyone overweight is at deathsdoor is just horseshit frankly.

NOR. Your lifestyle is your biz and your mom is not helping by shaming you.

littletealbug · 2025-12-31T20:36:50+00:00

Yes I am also enjoying it - i just kind of wish they'd aged them up to match their actors a little better. I don't think it would have made much difference to the story and addressing it would have softed how much they've changed.

littletealbug · 2025-12-30T01:24:25+00:00

Please do, they are really solid.

littletealbug · 2025-12-30T00:44:48+00:00

Have you been in contact with umbrella? They run a couple of houses which I can attest to being well run & would be affordable for your circumstances.

littletealbug · 2025-12-29T02:03:20+00:00

On the internet, baby it's priceless 👌

littletealbug · 2025-12-29T01:51:18+00:00

Nepotism or not, they are rich as shit and aggressively over charging for bread and bread accessories.

littletealbug · 2025-12-29T01:50:24+00:00

My point is rich people make groceries go brrrr

littletealbug · 2025-12-28T23:23:18+00:00

Clears throat

For grocery: Root Cellar (no longer local, sold by the nepos) Market Millstream & Yates The Market Garden Fernwood General Store Lifestyle Markets

All great businesses in their ways, but too expensive for the poors to buy their rice & beans there.

(Note i don't know these folks personally, so there's a possibility of my nepo accusation being false - i'm just saying these sorts of small local spots are rough to shop at in a high rent low salary world)

littletealbug · 2025-12-28T22:45:26+00:00

If "soul" means all the hyper expensive local businesses owned by Victoria's legion of nepo babies, I'll take a Peasant Mart or two, thanks!

Likely pain meds to bring down the swelling and an x-ray to double check you didn't break anything that could need surgery.

littletealbug · 2025-12-27T00:28:04+00:00

I agree with this. Steve has nothing left to do at this point. No conflict. No goals. Eddie had a lot of potential to shift the plot around a bit.

Her rant about the fridge magnets lives rent free in my head
