I was so desperate to finish a book one time that I got an audible free trial to listen to the book where I left off while I was doing the house chores. It was a pain finding my spot but it was worth it. Now every time I have to put my kobo down I'm cranky lol

Can someone invent hybrid e/audio books? I prefer to read on my kobo but want the book to keep going when I'm walking or driving so I want it to switch to audio at that point.
Yes, I realize that my reading addiction/hyperfocus is already excessive and this would make it worse but idgaf! #booksky

I'm Canadian but we still have work plans for drugs, glasses, dental etc. I think it's bizarre that my husband who has a good plan already can be double covered under mine, but the person who birthed and raised me and doesn't have a work plan anymore can't be put on my plan.

I'm Canadian so we mostly have universal health care but things like glasses, dental, physio etc are out of pocket unless you've got a work plan and it's weird than my husband who makes good money gets to use my plan (and his own) but my low income MOTHER can't.

It's wild to me that I can marry a random man today and give him health insurance but I can't provide my sister health insurance or my grandmother.
The American idea of who is family & who do we care for doesn't make sense to me. Also, everyone should have universal healthcare.
Especially wild when you consider than half of all marriages end in divorce.

They've all gotten pretty big before I'd been able to find them in all the leaves! Do they not taste as good when they're this big? My cucumbers sometimes get too big before I find them and they definitely aren't as good after a certain point

So I started typing a phone number in the calculator app today. Because that's how infrequently I make phone calls. when my brain thinks numbers to type, it thinks calculator, not phone.
Also maybe indicates how poorly I do math in my head if opening the calculator app is so automatic.

No it was an Aussie 5 dollar bill at least. And they had 2 dollar and 1 dollar coins so it wasn't like I was asking for 5 individual dollar bills like in the states. I was so close, yet so far lol.

It was late, I was tired and a bit tipsy. The guy said "huh?" And I repeated myself twice before I realized. Trying to say "two 2 dollar coins and 1 one dollar coin" was difficult in that state. So many more words to say the same thing!

Still cringe at how, nearly 25 years ago, I went into a convenience store in Australia late at night, needing change...handed the cashier a 5 dollar bill and said "give me two toonies and a loonie" and how unhinged I must have sounded to someone who knew what neither of those things were.

Yeah we started avoiding US goods bc of tarrif stuff but now it's bc I can't support any of the fucked up shit their govt is pulling. Decided not to travel to the US the second they overturned Roe v Wade, so we'll keep avoiding it for sure now.

We are definitely not going to travel to the states anytime soon. And are trying our best to avoid buying American goods. Started because of tariffs but now it's on principle. What's going on down there is beyond fucked up, I can't support any of that with my dollars.

Woke up our 5 year old to watch the Canada day fireworks from the yard. She was so excited all day. She came outside, watched for 20sec then said "I'm done, can I go back to bed?"

I always forget how much I hate hanging indents until I experience the strong visceral reaction I have when Word randomly throws one into a document I'm working on. The face I made at the screen and the speed with which I fixed it was epic.
