One of my roommates (who passed away in a fire in lac du bonnet this May) hid a bag of onions in the kitchen in a cabinet that did not open in the place we shared.
It made for a very overwhelming scent when the summer hit.
Aside from getting the both of us evicted, I never evened the score

They have so quickly become a nation of β€œJethro” to now evolving into the most forgettable nation in the world

I’m a tradesperson by trade, I’ll tackle anything electrical.
When it comes to plumbing, all I can make is a mess.
When it comes to carpentry, I am excellent and making kindling

It’s always the β€œtrouble pyramid” for me.
I’m quite handy as well, but choosing the wrong cartridge.
Over-torquing.
Under-torquing.
Losing the seat as it falls from the seat wrench.

Ripping the damned tap out of the wall…

I’ve kinda doubled down on this one.
I was right-hooked a year ago and I absolutely let my presence be known.
There’s a black Cadillac in my community that has cargo bike all down its passenger side.

I really hate it when the name β€œKaren” is used in this context. Our names were one of the first things given to us.

Not really sure who the character is in the slideshow, is that you?

Even on my big-ass long-tail, I can roll up to work and park it inside the office space (I wish Planet Fitness would let me do that), do my day and run home in half the time it takes in my car - plus no gas burned.
I rode to a bomber game once and saved 30 minutes on the drive home.

I think that’s actually the grand plan.

He said interlocking anything should never involve cars or traffic

I had the most amazing concrete guy do my icf basement and a suspended engineered floor garage. I asked him about interlocking stone driveways because they look so nice.
He said he’d guarantee one if he poured concrete under it first…. (And designed in heated drainage)

Pretty sure with the electric tail-wind, a second battery, and keeping the effort reasonably low, my osteoarthritis wouldn’t do me in

I don’t think I could do that yet, but that sounds absolutely terrific

Being uhmerika’s neighbour is depressing

Can we simply move all of Canada away from them somehow?

I don’t mind when a stationary vehicle is protecting me, it’s the moving ones that are scary as shit

We have a Pom’, but she’s classed as a β€œthrowback”, no evidence of the selective breeding in her bloodline to make her tiny.
She’s just over 20 pounds.

PP wants scrambled eggs
Canada makes
PP gets scrambled eggs
Canada makes
PP whines that they are too scrambled

PP gets new eggs, but they are over-easy….
Canada grows tired

PP cries about no deviled eggs.
Canada reluctantly serves deviled eggs.

PP wants toast
Canada eventually stops listening

I have an Aventon Abound.
I recall how disappointed I was when I first took delivery and paired it with the Aventon app. (Unbeknownst to me, I inadvertently limited my top speed to 32 km/hr from approximately 38 km/hour.

In retrospect, it was a good thing.
I love my Abound, but it wobbles

Checking bags at sports events helps,
But guess what else helps?
When people stop being douchebags, that’s a huge help.

I won’t be chasing one down though, I was pretty sure I got the right dealer though. Thanks
