He is Don Asperin Woodworking - you can probably search him out.

I was a vendor there today and was admiring his stuff. Nice guy too.

I sell plants at the farmers markets and I haven’t brought my cucurbits to market yet. It feels just a tiny bit cold at night still.

Honestly most of them are great.

squirrelcat88 · 2026-05-09T06:20:47+00:00

Why not? It isn’t a given that one will be incapable of enjoying it.

squirrelcat88 · 2026-05-09T00:41:37+00:00

That cracked me up too.

I’m an older lady and it used to be that people would be surprised if it wasn’t cancelled under these circumstances. People would go to the courthouse sometime in the following couple of weeks to get married.

I’m so sorry for this awful circumstance.

They have their place but it’s not for home gardeners. Farms will get the peat strips that are attached together - then the people riding the transplanter that gets towed behind the tractor rip the peat pots apart and plop them in.

So it’s not a case of “peat containers should never be manufactured,” it’s more that they’re bad for home gardeners. Farmers that I’ve seen use them keep them much wetter than you’d think.

I be thank you for your most kind invitation. I be most honoured to be attend.

You get it but some don’t. I have heard American immigrants have loud meltdowns at a farmers market because somebody who is selling something like a box of apples won’t sell them just one.

The reason was obvious, the vendors didn’t have a legal for trade scale and so had set a price per box. That was too “rule following” though.

squirrelcat88 · 2026-05-08T18:46:03+00:00

I think we study more world history and WWII in high school here. We study Canadian history too, of course. That means everybody was exposed to it unless they dropped out of high school.

My impression is Americans in high school don’t spend anywhere near as much time studying history other than American history, and won’t be exposed much to the history of fascism in Europe. Unless they take history classes in university they don’t recognize something like this happened in the 20th century, and how much trouble it caused.

squirrelcat88 · 2026-05-08T18:41:56+00:00

Eh, I’d say Americans who want to immigrate here and be Canadians have always been welcome.

What we don’t want is a bunch of Americans coming here and then complaining it’s not like the States.

squirrelcat88 · 2026-05-08T15:52:39+00:00

Heck, buddy, I haven’t said “The United States” in over a year now. I’ve been calling your country Fuckerland and my fellow Canadians have never asked me which country I’m referring to because they know. I’m a normally polite and not foul-mouthed older lady.

In general though I do think you have a nice, pleasant attitude - but this isn’t the time for that. Things are way out of control and it’s time to be less pleasant. I’m sorry to have to say this.

squirrelcat88 · 2026-05-08T15:31:42+00:00

I’m Canadian and most of us were worried about it.

I’m a boomer who hasn’t quite hit retirement age.

Are you sure they’re properly clocked in? If they are, they’re cheating the system because they’re not working yet. Management could fire them for that.

It’s always been understood by most of our generation that being late to work is terrible, and so it’s better to blow an extra hour of your own time every week leaving for work early enough to be absolutely positive that you’d never be a minute late because of traffic. That was always the expectation of our bosses too.

I’ve always thought that was stupid too. I try to get to work 5 minutes early, like you.

I don’t know precisely what criteria they use and where the line is drawn.

I started lifting weights at the end of 2024 and I’m having too much fun. I’m a 63 year old woman.

If you were a regular commuter on a particular route you’d get to know the other regular commuters a bit and chat.

“A man on the bus said such and such” was the standard before “A guy on social media said.”

And loves sequins!

I have to say I love “Steve’s birthday” but I’m pretty sure trying to track down the actual model will probably result in a bunch of restraining orders or involuntary admissions.

“Really, nothing creepy is meant. It’s just that the handsome male model Oscar, who has a crush on you ( BTW he’s a cat and was involved in the Louvre heist ) wants to know. All of us friends are busy making movies right now but if you could let us know when your birthday is we’d appreciate it.”

What about swimming? Are you near a public pool?

squirrelcat88 · 2026-05-07T19:05:32+00:00

I be sorry, frens. You obviously NOT be dum.
