It’s not for me…I’d faster do it with melted butter and toast if I were going to. But then again, I eat hot pepper soaked pineapple rings, so maybe I don’t deserve to judge anyone…

I’m not sure if I’d call them a monopoly, but they are a multibillion dollar company directly in competition with Proctor & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, Clorox, etc

My kids accidentally stopped a shoplifter. We stopped at a Walmart on a road trip to use the bathroom. As we were leaving, for some reason all three of them decided to tie their shoes in the vestibule, blocking most of the doorway. There was a very agitated lady behind them, and I tried to move my kids given that I was aware how obnoxious a place they had chosen for shoe tying — I assumed she just wanted to leave the store. But as she tried to get around them, she dropped a pile of phone charging cables and cases and was caught by a security guard chasing her

None — it’s a Kimberly-Clark distribution warehouse. Their products include Kleenex, Cottonelle, Scott, Kotex, and Huggies

I’m going to guess it relates to their neighbour trying to get the mayor and 911 to evict them from their legally owned home…

I had a Dutch roommate once who routinely ate sprinkles on toast for breakfast — she called it traditional.

Half my family is from the Caribbean and I’ll admit we eat some odd things (all manner of salted fruit for example), but I have a hard time computing sprinkle toast as a complete meal

What is the title and what is the city claiming it is?

I’m pretty sure mine did too, but I’m learning to make it work to my advantage where possible and to keep myself away from places I don’t thrive.

Oh my goodness, this hits close to home. I’m having to donate so many tea sets, figurines, and decorative plates from my grandparents. I feel guilty because they clearly loved them and paid good money for them, but I just can’t house this amount of clutter if I’m never going to use it. Royal Doulton must have made a fortune off their generation.

The wetter the sound, the higher the praise!

But she needs a picture for her instagram - if she doesn’t post about it, it didn’t really happen!

A few years ago, I set my mind to understanding stock market investing. It had always looked intimidating, but I have a couple of degrees that required me to pass chemistry, physics, and engineering courses - I figured I could learn if I put my mind to it.

What I discovered was that the stock market is mainly hype. For all the formulae and Greek letters that look complex and deter the general public, the emperor is really wearing no clothes.

Stock prices rarely follow fundamental analysis of value, and rather mostly pre-empt news cycles due to insider trading. And technical analysis seems to be a bunch of fortune tellers who think they have discovered Newtonian calculus by drawing tangent lines off cherry picked data.

Furthermore, the entire system supports the enshittification of our economy. When a company is supposed to make MORE profit every quarter rather than just maintain profitability, it leads to lower quality goods and services and worsening work conditions.

Toddlers usually stop if you give them a blankie and a cup of milk. Can someone get him his blankie and sippy cup please?

We had a great 10 year old office-grade printer that kicked the bucket two years ago. Since then we have been through 5 office-grade printers of varying brands and they are all crap.

If you have something that’s been around for a decade, stroke it gently, give it some treats, and tell it what a good printer it is, because that printer is irreplaceable

Do yourself a favour and try some real cocoa hazelnut butter from Quebec’s Allo Simonne or from Toronto’s Roasted Nut Company. Decadent, lightly sweet, and without the peculiar greasy texture from the palm oil.

With you, together tastes better, especially with Coca Cola. Every day with you is an adventure as we taste the rainbow by eating Skittles in bed. Tonight, we’ll put on our Nike shoes and just do it.

If they’re all mutants they’d think I’m the one that looks messed up, so they’d avoid eating me like I was Blinky the fish

What are they supposed to do? Turn away sick people?

“Sorry you think you have an infection. Just deal with it for a few more weeks until I have time”

It’s not even necessarily better in places with some public healthcare. In Canada, although medical care is generally free, retirement residences are not. My grandmother is in her 90s and requires a memory care facility, which costs $8000 per month. She is very lucky to have an inflation indexed pension, and even with it her kids are having to supplement to pay the cost.

The only thing you can do is hope never to require care.

My grandpa had a handful of stories that he told over and over again. Yes, it got a little hard to laugh and react at the correct parts after 20 listens. But I must say that I would absolutely love the chance to travel back in time and hear him spin one of his yarns again.
