    I just toured a lovely house....anyone want a nice house that needs a bit of a kitchen update but is otherwise perfect? It's only 2 million dollars.

    Why do I get the feeling that the old tired kitchen that needs updating is still better my nearly new one?

    Also, I bet this is your house isn't it moneybags? 💰

    I think it’s weird we don’t have a word for adult child in English - As in the child of my parents but an adult.

    Offspring?

    🤣😂🤣 No it's not my house. Mine doesn't have an old tired kitchen 🤣. I like my kitchen.

    This house did have a beautiful extension on the back making a sunken family room and beautiful primary bedroom suite. (We can't call it a master anymore). Real estate is insane in this city so 2 million doesn't get you what round like to think it would

    I look forward to seeing your place on MTV cribs.

    You can't call it master anymore? Hmm, let me check a UK estate agent website and see if we still do... 🤔

    Okay, we're still calling them master rooms here.

    Also, in case you're interested, here's what $2m CAD gets you near where I live. It's fairly modest, actually.

    Oooh that's gorgeous. I think that's more like $1.6 Canadian though. 😝

    For comparison ...this is waaaay overpriced. It probably should sell for $1.3. Btw what would you call this style of house that shares a wall?
    We call it semi detached which apparently is weird I've been told https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/26081105/44-glengarry-ave-toronto-lawrence-park-north

    Hey y’all. I have a friend who is interested in being more methodical with her lifting but she does not want to use barbells. Can anyone point me to a dumbbell only beginner lifting program that might be similar to StrongLifts 5 x 5? I could write it up myself, but I’m not experienced at programming and I don’t want to steer her wrong.

    Just one workout but a starting point maybe?

    I left the gym a couple of years ago. I primarily use dumbbells and bodyweight. I don’t own a barbell, so I have plenty more resources if interested.

    Ok, i really like the supersets a lot. Especially because she’s a very busy person. I think the last pair might be overkill but I can’t wait to hear what she thinks. Thank you 😊

    Stop it?! My dogs disagree. The furniture is fair game if you're small enough.

    I have always felt a little bit on the outside. A little bit unpopular. And to be sure I am not to everyone’s taste. Nor is everyone mine. But I’m beginning to notice that many people are trying to meet me halfway. And I’m doing my best to recognize these little bids for friendship and honor them.

    FML. One day you’re going to be called out to some domestic disturbance where a wife has lost her s*** and slammed the husband’s head in the car door.

    You won’t be able to stop laughing and everybody will wonder what’s wrong with you 😁

    I could share some stories and you’d swear I was making them up. I don’t do much “shop talk” on here because it’s my escape from all that but yeah….

    And you’re right I probably would laugh.

    You'll get to experience our winter. February has traditionally been our month for wintry weather. Hopefully you and your mom love Canada.
