  1. You know when you want to ban things from your daily life like LinkedIn and Amazon, and that almost everyone uses, but you need them in many ways because both services have many benefits, but you don't want to be part of it, but it offers many benefits and saves on costs.

      I use Amazon for grocery service, listen to music and watch TV shows and movies, and shop.  LinkedIn I use professionally. I'm stuck at home, so it's nice to have an all-in-one service, and there's no way I am going to the grocery store nor out shopping, plus I referred to things as the "wine" and "dessert" isles there, and everything else were different isles. 

  2. I found cash in my apartment. CAD and USD.  Bills, many bills.

      I've got euro coins and pence from the UK and France.

      Currency exchange place refused to accept coins.

      Oh gosh, I am hungry!  On my second or third glass of champagne.  Really depends on how I pour it. I ordered two small cheeseburgers and a large order of fries with ranch sauce.  I am hungry!

  4. I bought a manual, non electric treadmill. I hope it works out well!

      Hi @debluvscanucks!  I got my treadmill and put it together last night.  It took me an hour to put it together, and tested it out by walking with a few 30 second runs for 20 minutes.  It’s a manual treadmill and will be good for fall and winter months, and will save on the power bill since it is non electric.  The brand is Fitness Reality, and I paid $131 something.

  5. No leopard leggings for me :( I ordered them over a month ago and never received them.  I chatted with a representative and was told they are out of stock :( So a refund was issued.  Leopard leggings are hard to come by. Leggings are the style these days.  And leopard was divine.

      I went on the site, and saw all sorts of leggings in different patterns! Leggings are the thing these days.  

  6. I need a home treadmill. Something I can plug into the wall outlet in the living room in front of the TV.  Is that safe in voltage plugging it into a living room outlet or a power strip?  I would get an exercise bike, but they’re not fun.

      when i had one out in the garage, i'd just plug an extension cord from a wall outlet and just unplug it when i was done just in case.

      My wife uses her treadmill pretty much every rainy day. 

      Sunny days we go hiking trails.

       

      She has had 2 bikes... one upright and one recumbant - wore them both out..... .  She prefers the treadmill over the bikes, says she would never go back to a bike.

  7. I started a 7-day free trial to MTV Hits.  MTV was my thing in the 1990s as a teenager. I don't know what to say now.... We'll leave it at that.  I'm in my mid 30s now.

      The last time I met a celebrity in person was when I met David Boreanaz at chapters downtown near Robson and  Burrard many moons ago. I believe he was filming the movie Valentine at the time and I approached him in line (I was very respectful and didn’t bring any attention his way) and asked for his autograph for my mom who was a HUGE angel fan at the time. Well he started acting like a jerk towards me but still gave me the autograph anyways but he said something really snarky after he gave it to which I wasn’t going to allow to pass because I don’t care how famous you think you are never talk down to anyone so I preceded to say very loudly “THANK YOU SO MUCH FAMED TV STAR DAVID BOREANAZ FROM THE HIT TV SHOW ANGEL AND BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER!” And this brought the attention of everyone in the store and they rushed him asking for autographs lol he looked at me and said thanks a lot kid so I told him to suck it and flipped him off. After that I refuse to get star struck by anyone because in the end they’re just people and I treat them accordingly. If you’re nice I’m nice but if you’re a jerk we’ll....

      @NewbieCanuckFan That's really cool hair. 

  8. Ordered groceries - champagne, pizza, blueberries, many desserts, chocolate, cheese, a salad, top ramen, tortilla chips, and other food I cannot remember, but I am looking forward to the champagne, desserts, and pizza.

  10. You know Fin - I have a picture taken of him and me years ago, and when I come across the picture, I can sort of see the eyes of the person in the suit and always wonder who that is. Does more than one person dress up as Fin or is it just one person?  Who is Fin?

      Here's a picture from the event I found in my attachments. The Fin one is not in my attachments.  it was a fun time.  And you know what's funny?! If you look at the left side of my hair, 2 1/2 months prior, I was in Montreal, and got a "CH" haircut with the side of my head shaved with the CH logo.  I was very popular that weekend.  I was in the sports section in USA Today and was on the Canadiens NHL site.  With that haircut, I stayed out of B.C. until it grew out.

      This was the second time I "met" Fin...he remembers people which is why I believe it's one person.  We used to have tickets on the glass and he always came over with the same routine.  Mess up our hair.  This time he jumped up and right before the camera showed up he shook his booty in my face!  I called it my lap dance because he was RIGHT over top of me!  Quite a character and, from what I've learned, is quite shy outside the costume?

      This is my first face mask, and purposely left the bottom open like that for more coverage.  The loops are a little big.  I have a small head and face, and it may fit someone just right or they can adjust the loops by making a knot.

      It's hard to sleep when the sleeping schedule is messed up.  Right now I am cooking pizza and working on school work for the college course I am taking.  I am better at it on the weekdays, which I wake up before 9am for work.  I put on my coffee and turn on the computer.

      I used to go to Victoria all the time from 2005-2007.  But I would go there for reasons that others would not go there for, like I'm going to Value Village, or I'm going to the Vista 18 to drink wine and enjoy the view, or I'm going out to James Bay and walk around. I lived on the Olympic Peninsula, so it was a ferry ride to get there.

      Has anyone tried the Green Tea Kit Kat bars?  They are super delicious!  Nice to snack on.

       

      Years ago, I was in love with the Hershey almond bars with toffee.  Whenever I was in Vancouver, I would stop at the store, and buy many of them, which I have never been able to find them in Seattle nor the rest of WA state except in nugget size.  Once I decided to do a taste test between a Symphony bar and a Hershey almond bar with toffee.  The Symphony bar tastes sweeter than the Hershey almond bar with toffee.
