summer sufferers poll: would you rather have…

the ability to repel all bugs so they can’t touch/bite/sting you

the ability to always be at a comfortable temperature while outside

no chafing ever again

Remaining time: 3 days 12 hours

Okay, if you are tired then you won't be able to read. There I say it. No one else want to say it. It is strange. If you are tired, if you cannot finish a book that's a given. That's why you need to read...at work. You need to steal your reading time from your employers.

I'm almost done with my largest crochet project, so here's a couple details from behind the scenes 🌿🌙

[beemovieerotica]

hate it when pets learn words, my dog flips out when he hears "greenie" so we had to start saying "G word" but now he knows G word so we have to say shit like "are we out of emerald indulgences"

does anyone else remember being a hapless american child looking at the prices of books on the inside flap and wondering. do we just hate canadians? this book is $8 here and $13 there, that feels..... mean somehow

[prankprincess123]

Living in Canada, and understanding how the exchange rate works even when I was a child because I'm so close to the Montana border, often this fact is just publishers and book distributors being mean.

Like, I understand that sometimes $1usd is the same value as $1.50cad (right now its $1usd to $1.38cad), but other times the exchange rate is even or leaning the other direction (ex. Nov 2007 when $1cad was $1.10usd) and the suggested retail prices of books stay the same. Living so close to the border there are some things that we rarely buy in Canada, and instead just buy lots of when we go to the States every few months, and books are one of those things, because even with the exchange rate usually leaning in your favor, $8usd is typically closer to $10cad than it is to the $13cad that a book would be priced at. Last night I was looking at some kids books that in the States are going for $30usd for the (paperback) boxed set but in Canada that same set is going for $56cad/$41usd. Like, I understand that the claims for some of the price disparity is due to import fees and such, but import fees on books are only 5% and only apply to things over $20cad in the first place which would only account for a couple dollars even on a nice hardcover. And then most bookstores here will sell the books for even higher than the cover price, so a book listed at $8usd somehow ends up costing $20cad/$15usd.
