I just saw this on Reddit and thought of your post:

Mine hasn't shipped yet. Patiently waiting for it eventually.

Mum is allergic to paying for heat and keeps her house at 15 during the day and colder at night. She is retiring next year and will likely want to save even more money then so I want something she can really snuggle down under.

Yes, they have so many different weights of them.

I wish I could ask Mum if she wants to be light warm, warm or extra warm while she sleeps without giving anything away for her Christmas present.

Poor Hemka 😣

I have not watched Mean Girls nearly often enough to say "Boo, you whore" as much as I do.

If you're concerned about boarding your cat with your vet, know that my sister says snuggling the boarded cats is the best part of her day.

This is what's great about having a cat. From Dec 2022 to July 2023 when I was catless, I hated hearing random noises. Now I blame it on the cats no matter what it is.

That sounds reasonable. I wouldn't have any money until next weekend, would that be fine?

Where are you at in Dartmouth? How much are you selling it for?

hfxgirl @hfxgirl.bsky.social · 3d

Turn your alarm back on 😔

Fredies Fantastic Fish started offering curry sauce and mushy peas just before they switched owners. The new owners didn't keep it up, I was so sad.

My father in law's personal care worker came just as we finished supper so we are making him up a plate as well. Happy Thanksgiving 😊

Happy Thanksgiving, featuring the $4 turkey (mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffing and apple pie not in picture)

There's a US Airforce plan currently near Chester (as of 5:02pm) that originated in Germany. I wonder if that's the one that needed fuel?

We always have pancake mix and frozen blueberries around. Do you? Blueberry pancakes makes a delicious supper.

CAA?

Get the absolute best vanilla ice cream to go with it. I hope the weekend goes well for you 🫂

You are so smart and capable. You are stubborn and dedicated. You bought an entire house by yourself!! Success is the best revenge, fuck those people from high school - you can definitely do this!

Oco Mart on Quinpool Road is closing

A storefront along Quinpool Road in Halifax. The sign says "Oco Mart Korean Grocery and Food".

Originally I wanted to get a Steelseries as they were recommended by at least 2 friends but they were fairly expensive. I'm very pleased with these for the price.

The sound cancellation quality is second to none. And they have a transparency button in case you'd like to have headphones on but still be aware of your surroundings.

Product recommendation: I bought a pair of Bluetooth headphones with mic as my work laptop only has 2 USB ports. I got them Sunday night and charged them. Since then they are only down to 70%. They are incredibly comfortable. But the big thing is, when I put them on, my neighbour ceases to exist!
