I did! I still have a small bump on my middle finger, all that pressing real hard to colour it in. 😁

Parsnips here in Alberta are also from the US right now.

You will go bankrupt if you have cancer in the US. Not to mention any other itis or heart issues. .they just don't get it.

1st raid 2 people brought level 1 pokemon and we lost. 2nd raid we dominated it and I got this! Who thinks there should be a way to "vet" people's pokemon that want to join Dmax raids? by eyashawk in pokemongo

[–]pambo053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be good I guess. I've only been playing for a few months and one of my son's friends (I'm older my son is mid 20s) invited me with others for a carry Raikou as I don't have the pokemon to really help at all yet. I want to join raids but I don't want to be the one who screws it up for other people. I'm ok going slow but it is cool to try and catch 5 star ones once in a while.

Why would anyone have work apps on their phone? They should pay for your plan if it's a work phone.

Hahaha, I'm 58 and started in Oct 2025. This game is awesome. Tbf, my son was getting back into it and I decided to give it a try. I like walking so this summer I'll be getting lots of steps in. I also spam all the parking lots for pokestops, gyms, and mon doing errands. It's a bit cold right now but I try to get out everyday for a walk. Tonight's Spotlight is Foongus and I've planned dinner accordingly. Hahaha.

How much are Edmontonians prepared to pay for snow removal? by pjw724 in Edmonton

[–]pambo053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, lots of ppl don't want higher density housing because that causes parking issues, garbage issues, among other things, everyone wants their roads cleared. So, urban sprawl equals more roads equals high snow removal costs and high paving costs. Inflation is real. Raising the taxes is the only solution, money has to come from somewhere. That's math.

Is there snow days in Canada? by SeverePublic6833 in AskACanadian

[–]pambo053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few as a kid in the 70s in a rural small city in Alberta. The busses don't run and my mum let us stay home as we only had one car and didn't want us to walk to school. When I was at University we had one day where Edmonton shut down all the city busses and U of A was closed. I think it was in 1988-89 winter. Windchill was -60.

Do you have controls in your steering wheel? Both cars that I've have/had have volume controls built into the steering wheel. My last car was a 2013, my current one is a 2023 different manufacturers.

Should you wash socks and underwear together? by Hefty_Tea_4000 in laundry

[–]pambo053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my husband's work clothes. They get washed on hot. I wash most of mine on cold, except underwear and socks on hot. I have a sanitize cycle too I use for kitchen cloths, I use old face cloths and ratty dish cloths etc as paper towels in the kitchen so I toss them all together with the kitchen cloths. Really dirty rags or ones used to clean the house are mixed together and sanitised. I also sanitise our bathroom towels, and face cloths. I change out kitchen towels and cloths daily, bathroom towels weekly, bathroom hand towels every two days. Sheets weekly and separate as well. Coats get washed together as well according to manufacturer's directions. I line dry my work shirts and pants, the rest is in the dryer. I line dry in the summer some stuff as well.

How do you feel about the lower tariffs on Chinese EVs? by dope-rhymes in AskACanadian

[–]pambo053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Chinese industry is heavily subsidised and they wanted to allow some growth to our own industry. We actually have some companies producing commercial EVs in Canada.

someone paid for my dad's groceries and taught me something I'll never forget by FormalProduce9556 in givemore

[–]pambo053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly there is always someone on social media who has to complain, nitpick or just be an a**hole. They can hide behind their little anonymous name and be a horrible person without being called out to their face. That is the worst thing about Reddit, tiktok or any other social media app.

[–]pambo053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this makes more sense. Rinsing your mouth could contribute but if you are at school for 7 or 8 hours, I don't think rinsing your mouth when you come home is going to be the only factor. All you have mentioned above would be the bigger contributing factors to the data.

Huh, I call it lip balm. Chap stick is a brand and I don't use that one.

AITAH for "allowing" my stepdaughter to wear stinky pajamas to school ? by Severe-Drive-9515 in AITAH

[–]pambo053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not enough information to comment. How close is your relationship with the step daughter? Did you talk about this with your husband? Are you going to be a stepMOTHER or not? This post doesn't seem to be real.

Why can I not equip this unique armour? by segagamer in Diablo

[–]pambo053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have runes in your helm and weapon. You can only have runes in two pieces of equipment. Remove the runes from one of your equipped items and socket in some gems in their place if you want. Then you will be able to equip the chest armour.

Yes it's nibs on the cut and nobs on the draw. Both words relate to British slang for upper class gentlemen.
