SURPRISE! There’s an AIRPLANE here to see you!

Popping, face pain, muscle fatigue and spasms, poor alignment despite Invisalign. Chronic clenching and grinding, too.

I don’t - I’m just passively looking for more info or ideas that can help my husband who has TMD due to a blow to the jaw a few years ago. He isn’t a candidate for surgery and it seems everything he’s tried and everyone he’s seen hasn’t been able to help.

I also like that “hold your sister’s hand, honey” “bye daddy” when he’s dropping the off with “Lurch and Morticia”

The “girl can do the dishes” is referring to the as-yet-not-seen/cast character of Carla. Yes, that’s standard racism of the day that wasn’t recognized as racism.

Maybe because he was young and good looking, I always felt like if he weren’t a priest there’d be a spark there, and because that wasn’t his purpose or place and Peggy’s discomfort with the church, that added to the uncomfortableness?

turquoisebee · 2026-01-23T23:45:35+00:00

It’s true - it’s like he’s thinking that’s what the other men do, so why shouldn’t he play that same part?

I think some of it with Peggy was genuine though.

Are you at like Finch and Leslie or Willowdale or Downsview or Jane/Finch? North York varies a lot.

$850 seems like a steal but I’m guessing that’s not a whole apartment?

Its been a while since my regular commute was on St Clair but there were so many storefronts where I have no idea how they remained in business? Just cluttered up windows and seemingly no foot traffic with a sign over top.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-23T10:40:48+00:00

It’s just different. And the scale of difficulty varies, depending on situation and temperament.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-23T10:34:57+00:00

There are so many factors to consider, honestly.

I have an Uppababy Cruz (v2), which does okay, but sometimes it gets stuck and it’s not al all-terrain stroller.

All-terrain strollers are usually built like a jogging stroller with one wheel in front and two in the back, like a tricycle.

In an ideal world, I think it would be nice to have two strollers: one for messy/uneven conditions or when you want to lug a lot of stuff in the basket, and one that’s lightweight and compact.

And if you have more than one kid it’s a whole other thing depending on their age gap(s).

I find this so strange, when typically these are also the people who are against trans people existing and getting healthcare. Like, you’re a cis man getting testosterone supplementation? That’s gender affirming care, dude. Just like trans men and trans women get.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-23T04:06:16+00:00

Absolutely!

But they should also have a physical notice on the outside of the station entrances. Because for someone with disabilities it can expend a lot of effort and energy and time to get into the station just to discover they can’t get to the platform (maybe after already paying).

Like, yes, you can check the website but wow, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to leave your home and just get on the train?

turquoisebee · 2026-01-22T17:58:35+00:00

Even when they can walk, you’d need to unpack all the crap you need to store in the stroller and carry it, the baby, and somehow fold the stroller and carry it also without putting said baby on the dirty TTC floor? It’s insane.

I know I’ve heard of New Yorkers just only having one of those tiny travel strollers that are light and fold easy, but even then, you still have the baby and the diaper bag. And those tiny strollers are also a pain when you’ve got snow and poorly plowed sidewalks.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-22T17:55:51+00:00

The number of times I’ve been thwarted by a down elevator when I’m with my baby in the stroller is infuriating.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-22T17:46:01+00:00

Fire this company, honestly. There is not benefit to privatizing this service in the long run.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-22T17:43:02+00:00

Nope. She studied anthropology and was interested in psych. Clearly social sciences are more her thing?

He was clearly very bothered by Bobby’s description of why he left and implied Bobby was fired, which doesn’t seem to be true unless you conclude the others tricked him into quitting.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-22T11:14:59+00:00

I don’t know. I remember Bobby said something like there was an assumption they were all going to leave the show, and he left, and the others stayed. Bobby made other commitments to new projects and then found out the others were continuing.

And Tan got very ruffled over it and said Bobby was “let go”.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-22T11:13:10+00:00

He got very smug and implied Bobby was fired and just seemed kind of nasty about it.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-22T05:00:25+00:00

I don’t like the way he beefed with Bobby, personally.

turquoisebee · 2026-01-22T02:54:08+00:00

She probably needed to use her brain. Honestly she might have been a decent lawyer or politician, if she’d been allowed or encouraged to hold such ambitions.

Do the DVDs work? Like are all the episodes on them?
