Well, it is Smarch.
I think that seems like a valid response to those enquiries. 😆
“Does Peter have enough spoons to come out and play today!?”
“No, Peter can’t come out and play today; all his spoons are in Alanis mode.”
“Not to put any pressure on Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, but they do know that they’re the only light left in the darkness of this world, right?”
I asked Matt if he’d like to contribute to your study. He considered the data carefully, then concluded, “I think this is about a video game.”
4yo Nephlet: “Don’t you say for me to eat my carrots!”
His Mother: “What other people say isn’t one of those things we can control.”
4yo Nephlet: “BODILY AUTONOMY!!!”
Currently on a Porter airlines flight and they extended their wifi service free to everybody on board so we could watch the live stream. I wonder if anybody is regretting that now.
A building headquartering the Canadian Racing Pigeon Union, apparently.
They unionized!?
Pause to find out what percent rat girl you are!

Me: *acknowledging I got talking a lot*
My hairdresser: "It's fine; you're totally a vibe. No, no, I mean that sincerely. Some clients are not a vibe, but you can be. Genuinely."
Internet, I am old and don't know if I should be penning a thank you card or letter of apology now.
Finally, a lot of those documents and records have been digitized and made available by the Oxford County Library: history.ocl.net/zorra/
The township of Zorra has also compiled some links to some historical resources: www.zorra.ca/living-in-zo...
The Oxford County Archives are responsible for most of their municipal documents and historical records: archives.oxfordcounty.ca
Yes!
The Beachville District Museum is the community museum that covers Thamesford, and is quite an impressive facility:
Coincidentally, I just happen to be seeing this from near Thamesford, Ontario. I don't know if May Victoria Mead was the grandmother who was buried back home in Canada, but send me a personal message if you can use any help connecting to local archives or municipal historical records or what not.
Ultrasound Technician (demandingly): “Where are your ovaries!?”
Me (internally): Lady, I cannot begin to tell you how much it is not my job to know that.
Ultrasound Technician (accusingly): “Do you have fibroids!?”
Me (internally): So funny story, but I believe that is actually what I was sent to you to find out.
Pardon, I am still quite n00bish at microblogging platforms, and not practiced at making a nuanced point or comparison with such constraint.
So not saying they’re the same, but this variation of that idea or mutation of that practice seems an obvious one to me.
It’s not surprising at all. I mean, not to say that “holy shit” isn’t always a fitting reaction, but this has been a practice all my life.
As somebody raised in a reform Jewish family, adjacent conservative Jewish congregations were always pushing Birth Right tours and similar programs. #HolyShit
Sometime I think the proper use of this platform might just be reporting things my spouse says. He just mused, thoughtfully, “I wonder if anybody has ever known who won a Super Bowl.”
Sharing this anecdote simply because, periodically, I still think about this, with a bemused chuckle and an unsettling sensation I cannot quite explain to myself. (4/4)
By that time though, Nickelback ridicule had become almost as popular as the song had been, and they couldn't have that. It seemed like they must have panicked at the last possible second, pushed How You Remind Me to 2nd place, and threw Paralyzer by Finger Eleven into their top spot. (3/4)
When they got to their #1 song, there was a clear winner, even by their own metrics (they claimed their list was compiled based on radio plays, single and album sales, Billboard Hot 100, global mainstream and alternative rock charts, Juno and Grammy awards, etcetera), a far and away winner. (2/4)
How You Remind Me (2001): lead single
I can recall a couple of local region "butt rock" radio stations collaborating on a countdown for New Year's Eve / Day 2009-10, a countdown of the top 100 rock songs, not just of the year, but of the decade, nay century, nay millennium so far! (1/4)
How You Remind Me (2001): lead single
Okay, it got overplayed and we all got sick of it, but it erupted and got overplayed for a reason. This song actually was a stroke of genius.
Slightly on the fluke side of a stroke of genius? I don't know yet, but it is a great song and I can admit it.
All Canadian millennials had a copy of Silver Side Up, eh?
Even if you never sought to procure a copy for yourself on purpose, it was like a copy was assigned to you and there just was one (cassette tape or compact disc) hanging around your bedroom, always there when you weren't looking for it.
Did you know Silver Side Up was released on 11th September, 2001? Fun fact!
I suspect I will have a lot more to bleat about this album that propelled Nickelback into position as an international popular culture phenomenon.
Indeed. But. But! What if(!) books could also be video games!?
Isn’t that how make books good be video games? 🥺
A lot of people really, really, REALLY do seem to enjoy learning rule sets just for the joys of following and enforcing them. You know, fun.
Groundhog predicts there are only 9 springs left
Do we have current membership numbers for the Conservative Party of Canada? I know 675k registered to vote in their 2022 leadership election. I am interested to know how that compares to this 2026 one. It seems like the CPC must be getting more insular, meaning less broad appeal?
Agreed! goodreads deals psychic damage even if you visit as a reader not a writer.
I occasionally log in to record a book I just read and I take a look at the reviews to get an idea about the consensus among other readers and... 😳
