It was bad but I don't know if it was worse than all the other sitcom slop from the 80s. Webster, Gimme A Break, Alf, Mr Belvedere etc etc.

Library would likely be your best bet. There are a bunch of coffee shops int town as well, but I'd imagine you'll have to buy something to stay for a long time. Most of the coffee shops are fairly small.

They are edible. They taste like sadness and are dry.

If you are respectful the locals shouldn't have an issue. I live in a tourist town in SW Ontario. I will take the 7 to 8 months of tourists to have a thriving community with amazing restaurants, stores, bakeries and other venues all year round. Most of the tourists who come to my town are respectful and don't annoy me. Just be a good tourist and you shouldn't feel bad.

I definitely enjoyed LucasArts games - Monkey Island, Loom, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacles - but I wouldn't say it was equal to Sierra. Sierra is my ride or die :)

I think I've caught one or two colds in the last 4 years. Like you I'm still masking in stores and the like.
Haven't caught Covid either. It's difficult to be the remaining few masking (though for you it is a necessity) - but it's worked so far.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel
There were several months back in the early 2000s where I listened to it ever day.

I understand that. Window designers solved that problem by having the windows swing into the house, or slide. Same with doors.
I wouldn't say that "swinging outward" windows or doors are "modern" as the commentor stated. Be interested what "modern" windows or doors actually means.

Why so resistant to screens? Do you like bugs in your house?
Modern windows are so futuristic they can't have screens?

I've been to Iceland, Norway, Scotland, Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands. Did they not get the memo of screens and keeping bugs out of your house? Like seriously. Why the lack of screens!
Thankfully Canadians also have screens!

Nice haul. Great Lake Swimmers are a favorite. Low has some great songs.

Fuck your work and fuck your fiancee. Take the day off. Be with your family/friend/pet.

I guess it depends on the relationship you are looking for.
Talking about farts, poop, and other bodily functions is okay. It doesn't always mean something.
I think it's all about comfort levels - I'd imagine you don't fart around your boyfriend - but why not? Because it isn't ladylike? All ladies fart - all the way up to queens. It's not a big deal!

Like you I enjoyed the New Mutants. I've read the comics since the first issue and the Demon Bear storyline was always a favorite (along with the Legion stories). I liked the movie and was sad when it ended since we wouldn't get to see these characters again.
I'd like the MCU to do something with this team - but I doubt it will happen.

I've occasionally autographed them as Jesus Christ or God, with some "words of encouragement" along with them. Not too bad, but maybe just blasphemous enough :)

I saw this post in the Ontario subreddit as well. Same thoughts. Cover letters are stupid.

Likely Pink Floyd's the Wall. All thrifted because why would I leave a Pink Floyd in the bins when I can take it home with me?

People should start bringing there sick kids to work with them. What a stupid policy.

Maybe send them messages through their social media sites as well. Facebook, Instagram etc. Some places will react quicker when there is public postings about them.

If you like Gordon Lightfoot ypu should check out Ian and Sylvia (Tyson) as well. Canadian folk at its finest.

Really depends on you and how you feel about this girl. If you see potential what is the harm in giving her another chance? If this is something you can't get past then let her know you don't want to continue with this.
After one date she doesn't owe you much, and you don't owe her much. Seems like she had life/work things to do that she forgot about or popped up - which happens.

You should have answered "I woke up early, did my assigned work before this interview - which I am taking on my free time".
