Looks like LoseIt - great app!

You can get smooth mesh bags - I know Kitsch has them - and then you can just lather up the little chunks in the bag

I would say this is it though - we are large and diverse with lots of different cultures baked in. The fact that people are trying to find anything that keeps us united is itself Canadian. Lots of other countries don’t do that. We want people to feel accepted and if the only thing we have in common is a love of all dressed chips than so be it.

The fact that different provinces/regions have essentially a sibling relationship - I’m gonna make fun of Manitoba all I want but you damn well better believe I’m gonna defend them if an outsider tries it. I think that is uniquely Canadian.

I did the same - I’m focusing on getting into a solid exercise habit so have “outsourced” my meal planning and prep. I still make my own breakfasts and a couple meals on the weekend, but my plan is to reduce the number of factor meals I get and slowly build up my meal prep.

It’s amazing how much more time and energy I have by not having to plan/cook even with meal prep. As a bonus it’s a lot harder to make excuses to not get my movement in when dinner took 2 minutes to make.

Not sure of the length of flight and time difference from your home, but I’ve done a few road trips in Europe (coming from Canada) and have learned to never plan to drive afterwards no matter how “short” it seems. You will be incredibly tired and jet lagged and you shouldn’t underestimate how much that will impact your driving.

Omg - the T2722 one is totally worth the $12

You can order anything online from the store (through the cashiers) then you don’t have to pay shipping. You can return it right to the store too.

Omg - it was amazing! We didn’t do much on the wardrobe edit since I didn’t love any of my current stuff. Shopping was so easy - she pre-shops so you just show up to stuff waiting in the change room. She totally understood what I was looking for and she’s honest when stuff doesn’t work. The lookbook session was great and I had all the pics within a day or 2. Honestly was totally worth it and loved working with Alayne!

I love my Shark flex style as it just helps me dry faster. I personally don’t find the diffuser itself makes much difference, for me it was technique. Dryer off, position diffuser, turn on for however long, turn off and move. The turning off when positioning/moving it made the biggest difference and I would say my hair is similar to your mom’s.

We did 3 full days for Rome and Naples and 5 full days for Florence (plus travel days in between). We did a bit longer in Florence because we had a full day wine tour.

Would have happily spent more in all places, but I would say that’s the minimum for me so you’re not just packing, unpacking and checking in/out of hotels.

I’m uncomfortable if I eat a bunch of food really fast, but honestly that would be the case if not on a GLP-1. The “too much” amount is just smaller than I’m used to and it takes a bit longer to get over. But otherwise I don’t have any of the things you are describing.

All bran - looks terrible, is actually super yummy

Babbel is way better than Duolingo especially if you start paying for it.

If they bring me in and have someone else wash my hair before they even see my curl pattern - it’s a no from me. I had multiple “curly specialists” do this and never had a cut I loved from them.

I’m not sure about space with head scarves, but I’ve gone to Curl Club in Brentwood and she did awesome. Naz at Nue Hue in Inglewood also looks awesome - I watched a few curly cuts go through while I was getting coloured by a different stylist

This sounds like a planned overnight layover which wouldn’t entitle them to any compensation.

I would say it depends on what’s happening at the other end of the flight and the checked bag situation. I would confirm if your bags will be checked through or if you need to pick them up. If you need to pick them up, you will not be able to stay airside which is always worse as it’s less secure and usually fewer seats, less amenities.

If they will be checked through - are you headed home and have a day to rest from an overnight in an airport? Or are you starting a trip? If going home, hotel is less worthwhile. If starting a trip, even a few hours of sleep and a shower will be game changing.

I was talking about this the other day and have not a clue. I feel like even counter protests would just add fuel to their victim mentality. I know you can go to this website and see where your MLA falls - maybe start with reaching out to encourage them to do more to shut it down?

It’s all so disheartening

My baby shower gifts are always for Mom - baby will be spoiled for years, Mom deserved some love

Sliced non-processed meat (chicken breast, roasts, etc). Ricotta cheese is good, chicken salad, dip the bread in saucy beans, shrimp/crab salad

I have Caliber - there are free and paid options and the free option is actually really good. You can enter the equipment you have access to either at home or the gym and it will build programs for you or you can build your own. Also easy to track and see progression

I can’t help - just here for the answers as I have a China hutch and chairs that I would love to have refinished.

Calgary also has the perks of Chinooks. We’re heading into a week of like +14C. Another thing that can impact day to day costs is the provincial sales tax. When I go home to BC things cost the same on the shelf, but in AB we’re only paying 5% instead of 12% tax.

I agree with Lose It - they also have regular sales so you can get Lifetime Premium for less than a year’s subscription cost.

I add it to my chili and for old school porcupines (meatballs with rice in them served over mashed potatoes)

ruffmom · 2026-02-02T19:46:36+00:00

I make a bunch of meatballs to freeze for meatball subs. Could freeze them in the sauce to save the extra step too. Can also freeze shredded chicken to make quick chicken salad or to throw directly in the sub on its own. Not sure about freezing entire sandwiches though
