The Lindor balls are really dangerous.

I've been straight for coming on four year now, honest. ;)

Walmart's "Our Finest" products are pretty good. :thumbup:
But their Great Value choc is just horrible. Might be okay for kids.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It's honestly amazing how much dust can collect in a fan in about 40 days time.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I didn't indulge in the Lindor balls for 2 years.. kept away despite the temptations, knowing that they could be my downfall (clogging my arteries more than they are already) - - - but then I discovered BARS of Lindtdor that were made the same way as the balls... melted in your mouth.. coating your tastebuds in that delicious addictive substance.. and I was lost..... I thought I could have "just one square! cut up in to pieces... once or twice a week.......... honestly, just ONE square....................and then 1 turned into 2.. then into 4 and before I knew it I could eat half a bar in a day.. I had to stop myself from buying it... but it's soooooo yummy!
:D

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I ‘really’ don’t like chocolate much...but oh gosh those Lindor balls!!! My son, rather sweetly, still thinks I buy him a box from Costco when he has got a good result for something, or high days and holidays...I hope he never discovers it’s because I know he hates Plain Chocolate and ‘I do him a favour’ so we don’t have to waste them...yet again ‘Maman selflessly takes one for the team’ ;)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Taking one for the team... well done Millie - I understand the sacrifice :D
Get this and indulge yourself - it's just like the balls.. but in squares of bliss so easily hidden :D

I think it's $17 something before tax for the 375ml (mickey) bottle, so it's expensive, but not something I drink a lot of. You don't cut it; you have a sip then a sip of coffee after. A 750ml bottle of Drambuie is $50 tax in, but worth it, same deal. I couldn't make the bottle for $50. We're patronizing the arts here.
Something you probably get for pennies there but I can't have at all is Stroh rum. A friend's father brought it back from Europe and when he gave me the shot he said "This is what the old Nazi's put in their tea." (and yeah, his dad was an old Nazi). It's too strong to really drink, but if you put just a few drops on your tongue it tastes like a Cadbury Rum & Butter candy bar.

Had no idea it took so much time to make Tabasco sauce.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I'm not really into rum, but just had a look for Stroh on my preferred supermarket website. They have two versions, the "kiddies" stuff (38%) is €16.99 for 750ml so CAD 26.45.

I'll guess that you were talking about the stronger one (80%) which here is €22.99 for 500ml, so CAD 35.78.

I used to blend my own "Swiss moitié-moitié" using pear liqueur and eau de vie, coming out around 40%, but I can't find either of those up here. :(

Lol. Someone’s PR person is on shaky ground. Maybe Carrie could cut short her maternity leave? :lol:

That could be a fun game - various politicians (or other celebs) with particular books in the shot. Or DVDs.

That is a cool video, but churches will come up with some reason why it is not true.

Because it's just a concentrated and processed plant, I maintain that tequila should be re-classified as a vegetable.

The story behind the book display is that the schools previous librarian, who was let go, organised them as a bit of a go against the school, she had hoped it would be noticed for what it was when she set it up several months earlier, and was delighted by what did happen, a case of happenstance.

Vancouver aquarium is temporary pausing public operations on September 7th.

They are going to work to reinvent the aquarium.

Hopefully they don't have to close permanently, its one of the few attractions I like in Vancouver.

Just doesn't look like they can cover operating costs of being open.

What kind of world are we living in? Adele being accused of cultural appropriation is mind boggling. Even the Jamaican's don't care.

Staples.ca is advertising free delivery on everything currently. No minimum order needed.

Being a stationery freak today I ordered $2 worth of Bic pens and 6 notebooks at 10c each. Apparently pens are arriving tomorrow and the notebooks the day after. Crazy.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Is this your way of using your allotted carbon imprint, even though a non-driver?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I was hoping for delivery by bicycle. :lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

True however someone is offended so we now must hold Adele accountable. Loved a comment I read about her growing up in Tottenham so really not a case of cultural appropriation. I am offended that you are offended :rofl:

That reminds me, Helen Mirren moved into the area a while back. Apparently Dame Helen came across a black bear in her back yard, and she told the bear to bugger off. Bears being the intelligent creatures they are, it complied with her suggestion and buggered off.

My step sisters daughter was accused in high school of cultural appropriation by some white students because she wore some Mexican cultural items.

Thing is while they have light skin, they are Mexican, and my step sisters and siblings were the first in the family to be born in the US.

Sometimes I think modern smoke detectors are a little too sensitive.

Funny. My husband thinks the same thing.

Have just seen this, that 'decor' is revolting. I'd sleep in a tent rather than in that bedroom :sick:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Silly buggers go off too easily, and dang they could wake the dead, nearly everyday some apartment has set theirs off. Takes very little just cooking can do it, they seem to be able to sense smoke when the human eye or nose cannot. Probably doesn't help that apartments are small so smoke detectors are closer to the kitchen than they would be in a typical house, and of course the loud alarm sets the dog off.....

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I few years ago, when the BBC did changing rooms, at the reveal onw of the couples said.. Well I'm not going to sleep in this room till it's all changed again, can't stand anything, just hate it all, thought my neighbour had more sense and knew me better than that. Cue shocked reactions from presenter and designer responsible,
