That's what I've been doing. Order of priority:

  1. Canadian company
  2. Non-Canadian, non-American
  3. American but franchised/operating in Canada
  4. American

In my experience a women's wide is akin to a men's regular.

Skunks are common city animals, so it's a little more surprising to me that you haven't encountered then before. But for the most part they're pretty chill little guys, and forage widely -- so seeing one in your yard doesn't mean they've taken up residence. They eat grubs mostly (which is great for lawns and gardens).

As others have said, as long as you're not getting up in their faces, you shouldn't have any problems.

Even if the length is the same, men's shoes tend to be wider than women's (sometimes much wider). So swapping is great if you're a woman with wide feet, but if you're a man with wide or even average feet, it would be much harder to swap to a woman's shoe.

"-music" should mostly do the trick... unless you're looking for music.

The US has a huge number of cities named after cities/regions in other parts of the world, e.g.:

  • Moscow, Idaho
  • Ottawa, Illinois
  • Brussels, Wisconsin
  • Ontario, California
  • Paris, Texas
  • etc!

Adding the country or state designation after one of these names is helpful for clarity.

Haha yeah it's pretty nuts. There are some great neopets write-ups on r/hobbydrama. Plus my favourite Jellyneo article of all time: https://www.jellyneo.net/?go=comments&post=14373

I had to provide the username, the birthday on the account, and the original email -- I don't recall what else. But here's the general info & you can use the "create a ticket" button at the bottom.

Ah, I see. I only see your username, not a display name; maybe because I'm using Boost?

With support's help I was able to get into my childhood account from 2001 and that's what I'm playing with now! You don't need to if you don't want to, of course, but it can be done.

Pretty sure your username is PillowTalk420 though

 

I ran across this post on the CBC that names a few apps to help people find Canadian products: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buying-canadian-shopping-apps-barcode-scanners-1.7463039

  • Shop Canadian
  • Buy Beaver
  • O SCANada
  • Maple Scan

I'm curious if anyone has tried any of these and how useful (or not!) you've found them.

 

"With so much interest in buying small Canadian companies, I figured I would share her products as an alternative. Your support would change her life. All products have a maple leaf!"

The response was immediate and enormous, she says, with order requests through her website increasing by almost 4,000 per cent, according to Williams.

 

Banks will also be prohibited from charging NSF fees more than once within a period of two business days and in cases where the overdraft is less than $10.

To avoid bank account holders accidentally incurring an NSF charge, banks will also have to send an alert giving account holders at least three-hours' notice that a payment exceeds their bank balance. If the account holder deposits money to cover the payment within that period, banks cannot charge the fee.

 

This is my most ambitious project to date, the Faith CAL by Helen Shrimpton (with a few modifications).
