My wife's newest thing is buying scented toilet paper, and I can't decide if it's brilliant or stupid

Listen to their “music” every now and then, thinking at some point, it must start to sound better.

It doesn’t.

NIN sucks.

If you are going to Bragg why are you in a rush. Slow people annoy me but 22x to Bragg is tourist route.

NIN has a pretty varied catalog

Is it supposed to provide fragrance within the bathroom or is supposed to make your bumhole smell good?

Sure, but it’s not incumbent on other drivers to make that decision for me. Maybe they’re out for a Sunday drive and don’t care. Great, but get out of the way and don’t worry about whether I want to go 10-15 over and go do things I want to do.

How does it taste?

[undercoverbrother]

When I make eggs I will add any meat we have left over in the fridge to the eggs, IE: steak/pork/ham/groundbeef

But for some reason I will not add chicken.

odd.

Must have missed the “Tourist Route” signs Pretty sure 22 is a 100km/hr highway for general transportation. If I’m running to Bragg for the post office, groceries, pizza pick-up, etc., I just want to get that errand finished as efficiently as possible. If it’s your first time seeing a tree, by all means pull over and have a look, but don’t assume we all need to go slow and take in the wonders.

I got very lucky on Wednesday coming home from work -- there was a big accident on the QEII and they only had one lane getting through, and it was right where the mall traffic was trying to merge in too so it was just a crawl. 30-35 mins to go like 300 meters.

So I finally get through and it's all open road, you kind of turn it up a bit, right? And my speed got away from me... I look down and see I'm at 130 as I zip into the 80 km/h construction zone for the new bridge. I go oh that's probably a bit quick, so I start to slow down and then see the cop lights behind me. Crapppp.

I'm a very boring and conservative driver, this is actually the first time I've been pulled over in like 17 years of driving. Just bad luck, right? The cop tagged me going 133 in an 80 km/h construction zone -- could've given me a very big ticket or even an automatic court summons to really ruin my long weekend. Somehow I got off with a warning -- I consider this a good karma reward from my almost two decades of safe driving. And I've gone 80 km/h on the dot through that construction zone since, I don't care how fast everyone is passing me.

The worst part about that Bragg Creek drive is that it doesn't matter which direction, there is always someone who slows down to 80 for Redwood, then never speeds back up to 100.

And then usually there are two people to be mad at in that case...the struggler and the guy directly behind him who isn't flashing his brights and putting the pressure on. Sometimes a little toot of the horn will help as well.

went to Canadian Tire to find a tire gauge and after using their app to locate the Aisle it was in noticed they had a function that would illuminate the digital Price tag to let you know exactly where it was hanging - found this genuinely useful - great Idea and execution

None. Black-tip reef and Galapagos sharks.

I feel like society uses the term "all but X" incorrectly.

For example, someone would say "the street was all but empty", and what they mean is that the street was entirely empty. But to me, that reads as if it was everything except empty, meaning the street was full.

Or another one, "The Flames are all but good this year". Does that mean they are good or sucky?

Any grammar nerds ready for their 15 minutes of fame? Now is your chance.

[topfiverecords]

“all but” means very nearly.
