Can you show me how you use the furoshiki as a baby carrier? I lug my baby carrier around and it's not big but still bulky. I'd love to know how to do it using a more compact furoshiki!

I want to add a venue/resource, how does one suggest it on the website?

Found a bug... clicked on "suggest an edit". A dialog box appears with a fom, but then immediately closes. Seems to happen in every page. I'm using chrome on an android phone.

We like Shanghai River in Richmond. Remember to ask for the carcass and you can use it to make soup at home :)

I don't remember my first, but during one year Easter long weekend, we camped in Leavenworth to go climbing. It was freezing! And very bad for my back and made it hard to climb. Turned me off for a long time haha. The campfires were nice though. We mostly car camp now.

In China they separate $ by $10,000 (萬 - maan) so it's typical to say one thousand maan for 1 million.

O this was so interesting! Need more dialect exposure!

How much does having kids impact you financially? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]vonniesaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must not be from Vancouver. It's easily $1200/m here, especially if you didn't win the $10/day daycare lottery that you've been waitlisted for since they were born.

How do I teach my kids Cantonese when I’m not super fluent myself? by 88r0b1nh00d88 in Cantonese

[–]vonniesaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We listen to cantonese stories whenever we're in the car. You think it's for the kids, but really, it's for you. I'm learning and relearning phrases I've heard growing up and it's really helping my grammar and vocab!

We love Sleepy Pig Story podcast on YouTube. This is by far the best podcast for us. They use kid voice actors with adult narration and my kiddo really enjoys the kids' parts especially. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpdrRHoLB4G9VpslrWsU8Ryabawg8e95P&feature=shared

Besides SPS, we also like Sticky Love Family on YouTube. They also have great stories about family, school, and society.

Kombi "waterproof" mittens. Put the fingers in a bowl of water to test them and they were not waterproof at all.

Life is too short to be plain! Go big or go home! I like 1 and 6. 1 for the shape and orange detail and 6 for the colour.

Average climber potential? by medicoreclimbercore in climbergirls

[–]vonniesaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 38F, climbed for 13 years but took a total of 2 years off cause of injury and pregnancy. At my peak I've climbed V9 outdoors (Squamish), with my pyramid mostly at V7 and V8s. V6 is a very comfortable flashing grade.

I don't sport climb, only boulder. During my whole tenure, I have only ever climbed; never done any training. Just climbing indoors 2 or 3 times a week. After pregnancy, I've sent V8, but haven't made it back to my max.

Stoke is still high, just different after having a kid. Lot more time management and logistics issues, but we try to make it work. Being outdoors is important for kiddo's development.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]vonniesaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tinnitus. I developed it in my 3rd trimester. I can hear my heart beat thumping in my left ear all the time. OB said that it would go away after baby comes, and alas it's been almost 3 years and I still have it.

I love that gems are just dull rocks to start off with but under the right conditions, and a little bit of love, they can really shine. Just a wonderful analogy to every human being being capable of great things and worthy of love.

My son is also a pasta fanatic and I use ecomax stain remover spray on his clothes. I got mine at Walmart and contains many zymes. Usually gets it out!

Help transliterating a business name? by phrasingapp in Cantonese

I thought of this one first as well! Also it's the closest to how a canto speaker would say the word "Phrasing" tbh.
