You can’t run from your trauma. It follows you. Deal with your shit.

When everyone gets a ‘participation award’ at your annual work party, except you.

Half-serious… but I don’t understand how speeding is a problem in the GTA.

Every time I head out, I’m stuck in traffic because of road construction, condo construction, rush hour congestion or just bad drivers.

I’d love to have enough space to actually do the speed limit one day.

I don't see how any of this matters.

He is literally and figuratively above the law. He will face zero consequences.

Drive trucks to the capital, honk horns, soak in hot tubs and wave American flags to protest their lack of "freedoms"

Any episode when Rita and Janet make an appearance!

New Orleans. Brothers Food Mart, 2012. A convenience store that was serving the best fried chicken. So unassuming. So delicious.

There was also another hole-in-the-wall bar that had the best gumbo that we ate after trying Oysters Rockefeller somewhere else.

We’re from Toronto and that trip was years ago but we still speak fondly of the food and the people of New Orleans to this day.

This is it. When they forced us back into the office, it was less about afternoon naps and avoiding traffic. It was more about being able to see my dr that closes at 4pm or taking my elderly parents to their appointments. Cooking dinners to avoid takeout and getting ‘me’ time between zoom calls. They took that away from us. Now it’s 9-5 and not a minute more.

When I finally got a place of my own in my 30s, I kept the shelves stocked with the brightest, sweetest, crunchiest kids cereals. Lucky Charms, Trix, Count Chocula, Golden Grahams. All we were allowed to eat as kids was Corn Flakes and Bran Flakes 🤢

You can be unpopular and still be democratically elected. That's so awful. Gotta fix voter apathy.

I was happy with my Ontario Carbon Rebate cheques. The conservatives really had their way in the media, re-dubbing it "carbon tax" when it was actually a very good program with money back from. I hate how sports reporters have more tenacity than those covering politics.

Death of a parent and managing their assets.

Just never talked about sickness and death. You always assumed they would be around.

Some cultures and religion make end-of-life stuff really difficult on the kids.
