Am I understanding correctly that for those beyond a certain age, the vaccine remains available but is not covered? Does anyone know what the general cost of the vaccine might be in Canada? I like to protect myself against pretty much everything even though there isn't much chance of any romantic encounters for me - I've recently turned 50 but have never been exposed, unless it can be passed non-sexually.

It's good you specified that you're talking about pizza

I'm really sorry to read this happened to you. Mental health issues, and ones like NPD in particular, are very hard to navigate without becoming lost or injured by them yourself. Take good care - things will be brighter.

So you can tell people you have a long hose?

Not all providers want to be arsed!

Maybe the massage room looks something like this?

That's not bad at all. Anything under 50% is okay with me.

May I ask how you are negotiating a better single supplement? I've never had any luck with that.

The joke has been butchered enough - no longer amoosing.

Forget the jock strap. I would say her haircut in the cover shoot is the gayest thing I've seen, on a female anyway.

Your reply is very kind, heartfelt, and empathetic, but I don't believe the OP is the one who is mentioned in the story. There is a link to the story at the bottom of his post to a NY Post article, and that has the name of the article's author.

Which of the two Spanish cities has the best Pad Thai? Maybe that will tip the scales in favour of one city over the other, and draw the bickering to a close?

As a hopefully helpful hint, the term "Canadian Indian" isn't used up here. "Native Canadian" is sometimes heard, but it is more appropriate to use the term "Indigenous" or "Aboriginal" when speaking of Canadian Native populations generally. This can be broken down further and more distinctly into the following three groups who are identified in the Canadian Constitution as being Aboriginal: First Nations (analogous to "American Indians"); Metis (a population of mixed European/First Nations ancestry that arose primarily in the Red River Valley in the 1600s and developed its own unique language and culture - and while all Metis have mixed ancestry, not everyone with mixed ancestry would be considered Metis); and Inuit (analogous to "American Eskimo"). Unlike American Indians, First Nations people are generally divided into 'Bands' or 'Nations' rather than 'Tribes', and they live on "Reserves" rather than "Reservations". It's taken a while for me to come to a proper understanding of all this, since it was not really taught in school when I was younger. But the Indigenous people I have encountered have generally been patient and willing to teach those who may not have the proper understanding.

As long as it didn't make my head look to small for my body.

I would say that the Royal Family is becoming increasingly relatable, compared to how they were in past eras. I doubt former monarchs and their spouses would have been so open about prostate issues, or perhaps even revealed a cancer diagnosis publicly. While the royals do live a life of privilege, whether rightly or wrongly, the increased openness about their medical challenges helps to narrow the gap between their lives and the lives of their subjects. As for the Royal Family symbolizing stolen wealth, from a historical perspective this may not be a completely fair comment. Did they benefit from colonialism? Absolutely. As did you and I. Did they create colonialism? Not exactly. While they did not do anything to stop it, much of the push for British colonial expansion was the direct result of capitalist ventures and the need to feed the later industrial revolution.

🤣

Unlike utilitarian items (like most clothing, utensils, bent boxes, etc.), totems were created to stay in situ, within the community until they naturally degraded in the elements. They were not intended to last forever in an antiseptic, artificial space. Many non-Indigenous people - myself included - have traditionally thought that museums served a purpose in preserving artifacts for the benefit of all society. However, I've learned that in doing so, the proper attitude towards the created item has often been lost.

Hmmm. That's nowhere close to what I suggested. 🤣

I would be tempted to respond, and simply say something like, "Hey, I've had an emergency at home and I'm rarely online as it is. I haven't been avoiding you, but now I have no desire to meet you because of your threatening behaviour. It's not cool to act that way. Next time treat others the way you would like to be treated." And then leave it at that.

If you take this direct approach just make sure you're texting the correct number. It could get messy if it's sent to guy who cleans out your septic tank.

I haven't done a trip like that but your itinerary looks much more logical than some of the ones that are posted in RM... lol. You could do it the way some providers evidently do it: NYC, NY Boise, ID Pensacola, FL Duluth, MN Riverside, CA Barrow, AK Leadville, CO And with a one day stop in Kinshasa between your day in Duluth and your day in Riverside.

Maybe almost as rare as Armenian-Turkish couples

Yes, it was sarma! Thank you But I think the photo you posted may be the Greek or Turkish stuffed vine leaves - also really tasty. The sarma my neighbours made was with cabbage leaves. This is the closest image I could find online:

There's a famous chef in California named Thomas Keller, and his restaurant is called The French Laundry....

Do you know if the staff at TomasKeller clean their towels and napkins at a French Laundry?
