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.:
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.
Allamaraine, if you can see…
Pretty sure your username is PillowTalk420 though
In neopets [aside: yes, neopets still exists, go recover your account and feed your dang pets; end of aside] there is a random event that can happen as you play where members of the Kiko Lake team are “fundraising” to go to the Altador Cup. The way they fundraise is by stealing an item from your inventory.
This is permanent and irreversible, and has even happened to items for which players have paid actual real-life dollars (about which support’s response can be summed up as “lol sorry”). Of all of the negative REs on the site, Kiko Lake is by far the worst, and so #drainkikolake has become a bit of a player rallying-cry.
I wonder if something like project management might be a good fit for you. Or perhaps some sort of social services.
In any case, I think most people work any number of different jobs before settling on a career path, and sometimes trying things out is the way we find what we’d like to do. And when thinking about a long-term direction it’s less important to “love” the work than to choose sometimes that will be sustainably intellectually engaging for you and that you feel is worth doing, and worth doing well.
In May my spouse and I are going away together for a few days without the kids for the first time in a decade.
The tulip and daffodil leaves are emerging in our gardens and soon we will have flowers.
Our church is starting up again this week & I love choir.
French’s ketchup is made from tomatoes grown in Leamington, ON. It was a huge deal when Heinz pulled out from their plant there & then French’s bought it.
I wish my grocery stocked it. I buy Earth’s Own oat milk though.
It’s hard but even small efforts help. For me the hierarchy kinda goes like this:
I aim for number one, try to avoid number four, and the two inner ones are a little more loosey-goosey for me and will depend mostly on the individual product. There are some things we just don’t produce here so… I just do what I can, where I can, and don’t feel guilty if there’s an American product I can’t replace (ever/yet).
I use an app called ReadEra which I like very much. I use the free version but it looks like the premium version does what you’re looking for: it can sync via Google drive and you can upload your own fonts. (Premium is a one-time $20 payment, not a subscription.)
I just spent $7 for a pound of Ontario greenhouse strawberries instead of $1.99 for a pound from California. Just as an example. My brothers and I keep texting each other Canadian products we’ve found to replace US options. We’re far from alone.
What American media is downplaying is that this is about way more than tariffs. This is about a friendly neighbour suddenly deciding that it would like our stuff/land/people and making real threats about taking it. It’s about a bully threatening our national sovereignty and everyone in his country either going along with it or throwing up their hands in despair. It’s an incredible betrayal and Canadians are enraged.
(As an acquaintance of mine put it: do you know how hard you have to work to get Canada to boo your country? That’s a real accomplishment, you guys.)
In terms of how things are going, here are some recent pieces from our national media:

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.
