WhiteWulfe Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 4 hours ago, Cranky Dog said: Having lived in several places in Quebec that fit that description, I'm curious about which place that is. If it's Bagotville (20 minutes from where I currently live), the area is much more populous and modern that it looks like on a map, unless you don't speak a word of French. Though if you're with the Canadian Rangers Patrol Groups, then you'd be stuck in one of dozens of remote, mostly coastal, villages. And that's much tougher for anyone with a family. Not sure, but it was 2000 and all we ever got out of him was "worse than Bagotville", so I'm thinking it was indeed some middle of nowhere search and rescue base or listening post. He tried the "I'll stick around another five years if I'm posted to Comox, and I stay there the entire five years" bit as well, but that wasn't even on the table apparently. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current place is too small to really do so. I'll let you know if I ever get around to upgrading.

I do not, as I'm more of a "pull the covers up and call it good" person. Mrs. Strawhat, on the other hand, does so most days. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejala Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I sleep in a messy nest of blankets and arguably too many stuffed animals on a bare mattress. I generally need to untangle the blanket of choice each sleep. I move too much for a bottom sheet to stay put, so gave up. Over time, getting in and out of the raised bed, top is maybe 2.5-3' off floor, the mattress slides off the boxspring, and animals fill in the gap. When it gets bad enough, every few weeks, I dig out all the stuffies and push the mattress back flush with the wall. That's as close as it gets to being made. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last name. We've been farming in the area over 100 years. Everyone in town knows my dad, so dropping his name is usually good. My grandpa also owned the car wash/laundromat, video rental/automotive/ice cream shop (yes, it was all of those!) and had a share of the driving range. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm....before moving you could order a Horseshoe sandwich, a Central/Southern Illinois burger. Where we are at now, Iced Tea for breakfast without getting a weird look [but that's just South of the Mason Dixon Line], oh and Sooie Pig stickers. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
