Tatiana's Wanderings

French Woods, Lordville, Stalker, Lookout, Galilee?! / Easter 2020 Peeps Crocs?!

2020-03-16T06:10:05Z

I went out at 12:30 on a 401 to London Drugs so I could get some NEW on-sale purple Dentyne Midnight Mint gum / a MARTEX bath towel / on-sale oversized Angel Oak towels x2 / on-sale Grand Patrician 400 thread count standard pillowcases x2 / Pine-Sol cleaning formula x2 in Spring Blossom and Lavender Clean scents. The toilet paper section was all sold out! I got home at 2, thanks to a patient 407 driver who waited for me to get my Asian old lady shopping cart safely on the bus (damn corners!) and off as well.

Deb texted me a link to Pastor Dan's online sermon on Youtube today, which was actually comforting. Then Eric guessed what I was doing correctly - WOW! Frances texted me to see whether I was comfortable with going out with her in this coronavirus pandemic stage since she's a healthcare worker - I'm fine with that, but we'll see what the governmental guidelines are! Steph and Lisa are probably cancelling their Vancouver trip, too.

Then I went out with my shopping cart again at 6:30 on a 407 to Shoppers Drug Mart after checking the London Drugs website to find soup sold out: I found President's Choice macaroni and cheese for $5 off (SALE!), so I got two, plus a can of Six Fortune straw mushrooms / a can of President's Choice Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup / 14 cans of Campbell's Ready-To-Serve soup at $2 each. Herbed Chicken with Rice, Hearty Vegetable Beef, and Classic Chicken Noodle Soup! Got home at 7:40 on another 407, which is fine by me since I had to launder my four new replacement towels and two replacement pillowcases. Everything came out dry, as I thought it would! MORE LAUNDRY!

Bad grammar, Campbells.ca! You should hire someone who knows the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE!

Zero toilet paper at London Drugs!

( Stocking up galore! )

Julie M. was on vacation and saw this map at a Pennsylvania visitor centre: French Woods, Lordville, STALKER, LOOKOUT, and GALILEE?!

From Julie: Peeps and Crocs are teaming up to create Easter Crocs for Easter 2020?!

Uncle John's BRIEFS, FUNNIEST EVER, STRANGE SCIENCE, and STRANGE HISTORY!

2020-01-09T05:23:09Z

After COFFEE TIME, I left at 12:35 on a 407 for my dentist appointment with Sean on FRASER instead of Oakridge - sigh. I had to leave myself plenty of time for getting lost (seeing Krista at Gilbert and Westminster - "Ontario is a magical place because I've never been there"?!), and had to take a 99 at Broadway / Cambie, and then an 8 Fraser bus around the corner at Fraser till I got to 19th, right across from Glad Tidings church. I would have been there earlier than half an hour early if SOME PEOPLE hadn't hesitated for 45 microseconds at the Brighouse station elevator - BE EFFICIENT AND NOT SLOW WHEN OTHERS ARE PLAINLY WAITING FOR YOU AT THE DOOR! The new location has more space and okay enough wifi, plus actual hooks for your coats and things! I had to have an X-ray, but it's not my fault that my mouth is SMALL! Learned that Sean is getting married in July, too! I have to wait till July to try The Pie Hole across the street because I got fluoride as part of my treatment today. Also got a receipt where the insurance paid 100%, but for some reason, I'm keeping it for now.

Went to the Broadway London Drugs to buy an on-sale Creature Chumper with 1500 Zorbees for Hiero's birthday, on-sale Stemnex 4D Transforming Robots for Ayler's birthday, on-sale Nescafé Taster's Choice instant coffee in a 250g canister, and on-sale Andes candy cane Peppermint Crunch before going to Pho Extreme Xe Lua to have a large #17 and figure out the wi-fi from the nearby A&W. Some guy ahead of me was in a fucking hurry at the exit of London Drugs, saying "excuse me" - nope, we are both directly headed to the doors, so you will have to wait. I should have dawdled even more because he was an impatient ass! It's not like I dropped anything, after all. I also had to deal with THE most recalcitrant self-checkout machine! It wouldn't give me the correct start-up screen (thinking I had items to re-scan), wouldn't give me enough time to find a barcode, wouldn't let me scan something without a barcode (the coffee), and wouldn't let me pay without calling an attendant! UGH! SO TIME-CONSUMING!

Finally got home at 5:20, and saw Hester and Ni, so told them about the mouse / steel wool problem, which luckily I had a photo of on my phone! I did notice an odd metallic clanking sound coming from my bag, which turned out to be two of Beckett's red / white molecule balls from yesterday's throwing activities. No wonder I noticed him standing at my bag looking into it, but he does have plenty of balls, so he should be fine till next week. He did seem interested in the safety fluorescent slap bracelet, too. I'm also going to wash the socks that Harmony loaned me.

Large #17 at Pho Extreme Xe Lua! Steak, flank, tendon, tripe, and fatty flank!

Creature Chumper with 1500 Zorbees!

Stemnex 4D Transforming Robots!

Nescafé Taster's Choice instant coffee!

Smart Chibuzo?! / Not perfect, but being Dutch! / PANIC 911: Kyle and Kylesha?!

2019-12-08T00:01:01Z

COFFEE TIME! The Canucks played Buffalo today at 1 in a see-saw game which went to overtime, and won 6-5!

Smart Chibuzo?!

A friend of a Facebook friend posted this on her wall, and I thought it would be great for Kitty, Cecilia, and Teunis! "I'm not perfect, but I am Dutch, and that's kind of the same thing."

Kylesha was on PANIC 911?! Bonus: Her dad is named Kyle. I watched this episode at the townhouse on September 5, 2013! Reminds me of an Awana kid I once knew. Her name was Fresnona, and her dad was named Fresno.

Book titles with a chainsaw! / THE ROMANCE OF RAYON?! / Having plans and pants!

2019-04-01T03:52:32Z

I've been talking to Robin off and on lately, and he says that Lena was toxic and basically a liar about the whole child thing, so... HA!

From Rue Morgue: Take the title of the last book you read and add "with a chainsaw." Post results. ARE YOU SHITTING ME WITH A CHAINSAW?!

From my Endlessly Engrossing Bathroom Reader #22: THE ROMANCE OF RAYON?!

From Single Dad Laughing: Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave your house.

Paddel and Rowe of the Tazmily Boat Club! / I'm a charred dog, not a black dog!

2019-02-01T03:21:50Z

I had to leave the house today from 8 to 4 because of the forced water shutoff and the sewer upgrades, and I hope this is the only one till all the construction is projected to end in December! This is NOT helping my budget OR my financial situation! I bought spicy beef noodle Tom Yum soup and Brisk iced tea from Thai Express, EMOJI STICKERS for Fraser at IndigoSpirit, chocolate vitamin bread from Maxim's Bakery (a way better $2.75 value than an overpriced ham and cheese sandwich), plus HATCHIMAL / MINECRAFT / PAW PATROL stickers and a kiddy Valentine's Day card from the dollar store.

Before I bothered going home, I called Hester to see if the water was back on. She said "yes" and hung up! What if I couldn't hear her or had another question?! GEEZ! I got home at 4:40 on a 401.

Emoji stickers for me and my nephews!

KUNG PAO WOK Red Dragon! :D

Chocolate vitamin bread from Maxim's and Honey Pomelo Tea from Vina Vietnamese!

Biff outside the MOTHER 3 Clayman Factory at night, falling asleep and snoring!

2018-12-08T02:55:54Z

Eric Ho FINALLY emailed me back (my original email being NOVEMBER 23!) at 2:40 to say that given his work schedule and the holidays, a hockey hangout is most likely going to be on either the 20th (Blues game at 7) or the 27th (the Oilers at 6), both Thursdays. Well, let's HOPE so! Then I remembered to call the H and M store at Richmond Centre to see if they finally had my preferred style of sweatpants in - THEY DID! I got the employee to put it on hold for me at the cash register, so I'll pick it up tomorrow sometime!

STEM fighting the patriarchy?! / Eloise Harbor to honor a drowning victim?!

2018-01-24T23:23:49Z

I decided to do some laundry and shower today, and pay my Shaw bill online.

From Reddit on July 28, 2017: No, TrInAvFe, someone should not go into a STEM career solely to "fight the patriarchy," regardless of desire and actual facility at such a job path.

From Reddit on August 3, 2016: No, SomeoneSassy, Harbor is NOT a good middle name for your daughter, even if it will help you remember that you met your husband there. It's a surname, if anything, and it's especially bad if the first name is that of your sister, who DROWNED! Your in-laws are right.

Mercy isn't a GUY name! / Yak isn't a HUMAN name! / Rachel Wiener?! PENIS FOOD!

2017-12-08T06:07:54Z

Two surprises tonight before my shower: Geoff said he'd be "in town" (Tsawwassen Mills) on the 23rd (a Saturday), and Kathy would probably be there. Depending on the weather, I'm probably in for that! Also, Eric Ho tried calling me (but couldn't get through because the hockey game was on), and then emailed me with a "Yearly Hangout" proposal in the subject line. I HOPE OUR HANGOUTS AREN'T YEARLY NOW! If he actually DOES come through with this hangout before the year ends (which I think is what he meant), I'll be gobsmacked! He says he's been sick on top of having to work, so I can understand that for sure!

From Julie: MERCY is not a name for a GUY!

From Julie: YAK is a human name?!

I went out at 2:30 on a 401 in the fog to London Drugs, and misread "Ovation chocolate" as "ovarian cancer," which is really NOT sold in stores! Finally mailed Sheryll's card, and got Sunkist Vitamin C which expires in March 2020 / on-sale All-Bran Buds which expire in September 2018 / VSC Belgian chocolate seashells for the family Xmas dinner / MORE Connoisseur chocolate brandy beans! Got home at 3:15 on a 407, which isn't too bad even for waiting a bit in the cold. The Canucks played Philadelphia at 7 tonight, and lost 4-1. YUCKY EFFORT!

From Not Always Right: Kimberlie Goodnough?! But what if she isn't good enough?

Eight overweight heirs mug, Discord grammar errors, mailing stuff to Corey

2017-11-27T20:25:39Z

I went out at 10:30 this morning on a 401 and mailed Christmas cards / Vancouver postcards / various stickers to Steph / Lisa / Fraser / Henry / Havarti, Paul Classy, Shiv in Germany, Mandy B. (dazzamre), Julie (julie709), Kitty (bornwitch / dutch_kitty), Kelli (neonrose5), Mandy B. (dazzamre), Corey (dwcorey), and Jimmy... that cost $16.91! Vancouver trams, Canadian grey wolves, BC Place, Gastown steam clock, RCMP officer on a horse, moose / squirrels / grizzly bears / Bighorn sheep, Science World, aerial map with orca whale / Canadian provinces and territories, Stanley Park totem poles, Harbour Centre and Canada Place, Coal Harbour and Stanley Park, Canadian Rockies grizzly bear, False Creek and Granville Street Bridge, and a downtown Vancouver panorama! I also bought new size 10 Jockey underwear at the Bay... luckily for me, it was on sale! Barry saw me on my way to the bus stop, and honked - I had to go around to the car's window in order to recognize him! I got home at 11:35 on a 407, which is fine. More time to do stuff for me!

This mug is from Pete: I before E unless you leisurely deceive eight overweight heirs to forfeit their sovereign conceits.

From November 17, 2017: Discord, you're supposed to be professional. Hire a damn proofreader if "where / were" and "effect / affect" are too much for you!

I went out at 2:45 and got two cans of NEW Comfort Creek Foods chicken and dumplings from the Dollar Tree. Then I got another pack of Samyang 2x Spicy Hot Chicken Ramen Flavor noodles from Big Crazy. Since they had a 10-cent surcharge on debit purchases, I got some Want Want snowy crackers. (which are plain and bland, so I'll give them to Chrystal) Apparently, I forgot my purple wallet there! Good thing that a lady came up behind me in the parking lot and let me know... that saved me some time and energy! Then I went to London Drugs to get a NEW Vileda cotton and microfibre mop and a NEW Vileda Quick Wring bucket - the wringer is connected to the bucket!

That's much easier than trying to get the wringer to stay on the grey bucket from people, so I threw out the old mop and bucket (along with the slightly wet toilet paper packs from yesterday) when I got home at 4. Later, I went to London Drugs again at 5:55 to get the rest of my bulky purchases: Cottonelle toilet paper x2 and on-sale SpongeTowels Ultra-Strong paper towels! I added two on-sale MAMA spicy shrimp noodles and on-sale NEW Bar Harbor fish chowder cans x2 to that as long as I was using my Royal Bank debit card. I got home at 6:35 on a 407, and I'd better not have any more emergencies in the next ten days!

Dani-Marie Watson wants to rage over people making her put on a jacket?! What?!

2017-05-10T06:32:04Z

The Cold Never Bothered Them, Anyway

I knew she blocked me and others when I couldn't see these comments anymore, so I simply logged into my XENIA account to grab these screenshots. This is what also finally inspired me to make a Facebook album for Internet idiots. :D

Dani, just put on a fucking jacket. If you predict that your reaction is over the top, guess what? It most likely IS!

Who the hell has an anxiety attack over people making them wear a jacket?!

I agree 100% with Jamie here. Don't make it about YOU!
