haha I hear ya! I did a lot of shopping for mine, as I really wanted something for my running but could wear day to day. I do recommend the Garmin 245 music, I have it with music storage and connection, but of course be sure to check what earphones you have and if they connect.
The 645 seems to be the next generation of it, and does look sleeker.
@Copa haha honestly it is such a money grab with most tech companies these days. When iPhone removed the headphone jack it was purely to force people to get wireless earbuds, which are supa expensive.
You would need to get a dongle to add on more ports for your various items. Everything changes so often hopefully you don’t miss the next hardware update 😛
I bought a Garmin watch that allows you to connect to music, so I started downloading music, and then tried pairing my wireless/bluetooth earphones. What happened? I couldn’t, the garmin watch is only compatible with the next generation of earbuds I have!! GAH. So that would mean I need to buy a second pair just to pair with the watch. $$$ I started using my old ipod shuffle again when I can’t bring my phone with me to run instead.
I have gone on two socially distanced dates with the same person in the last couple week. I avoided public transit by biking or walking to both parks, and we maintained social distancing as well. Although this is the longest time I have been talking/going out with a person and not been physically intimate with them in some way yet. Strange time to be dating.
Friends I have still not seen, although after the long weekend I may be okay depending on how things roll out with more things planned to open here in the province.
Been lurking through this thread because I have been very fortunate not to have anything happen to me. Unfortunately that came to a halt today after a call with my dad. I live in the west coast (PNW) in Canada and my folks and family are in Ontario. My parents are empty nesters, and both have their own businesses. My mom does garden maintenance and she has managed to stay working with a variety of procedures in place to protect her workers.
However my dad called me to consult as it seems despite my moms good work on her business, she is not following social distancing procedures outside work and home. She has apparently been too friendly and close in contact with her clients on site, as well at grocery stores and in other public spaces. My dad has had to remind her and pull her aside to get her to maintain social distancing.
My younger brother works for her while his other job is on hold, he is immuno compromised due to having Crohns. He understands the risk with working in the job with my mom, but also sees how she isn’t entirely keeping safe and is frustrated.
It is hard hearing this as my dad has been extra vigilant at home and when they go out for essentials, but my mom just seems to be ignorant elsewhere. She even went into a friends home the other day when she was supposed to drop off some distilled sanitizer. THEY invited her in, and she accepted. So two groups to blame here. But just shocked she is doing this and not comprehending the risks. My dad has planned to talk to her again and re instate the importance of safety, otherwise he is gonna make her stay in the basement till she complies.
Excellent! Congrats again, we are resilient and adaptable in all this craziness 🙂
I am sorry to hear things have needed to change 🙁 As you said, at the end of the day, you will be married, doesn’t matter how and where, but it is happening, and it will be with some of your close friends. Hopefully you can have a larger gathering of closer friends and family later in the year to celebrate a bit more 🙂
Canadian here, I received some info from acquaintances that work in the government, and despite some of the news from our PM and premiers at the provincial level of closing borders and restricting it to diplomats and necessary travel, there may be more stringent actions in place come tonight. Essentially closing the Canadian borders like Italy has done for 2 weeks or longer and only having essential services (ie pharmacies, grocery and healthcare) open to reinforce social distancing.
This is nuts. Been through H1N1, SARS, and this just boggles my mind that this is literally a historical event that will define us as a world, but also economically for years to come.
Also! Love the dress, the embroidery and the lovely plunged neckline, gonna kill it on the day. Looking forward to photos after the ceremony!
@veritek33 Oooh Niagara on the lake (the actual town) is really pretty, super colonial in nature due to the history there between the USA and Canada. There are plenty of wineries along that area (inniskillin and Peller estate are a favorite). There is an area near the butterfly conservatory (another place to check out) called Niagara Glen Nature Center, my family and I would always go there and take the large set of metal stairs down to do a walk along the river. Gorgeous topography, and gets you right up close to the river. A neat way to experience the river area and see where the falls used to be (large boulders are left behind as remnants of where the falls were as they traveled and eroded away the valley). You can basically hit up a bunch of the wineries as you travel from Niagara on the lake to Niagara falls, the butterfly conservatory and the Nature center. If you do go see the falls, definitely do it, there is a touristy area that takes you to some pretty ridiculous places, so if you are into that great, otherwise avoid it. I would stay closer to Niagara on the Lake, the houses and neighborhoods are much nicer. My two cents 😛
I organized a Galentines drink night with my classmates for tomorrow, then I am purposely having a night to myself Friday. Gonna get some sushi, a pastry from a cute little french patisserie near my house, and then watch a movie (Stardust if anyone cares haha).
@veritek33 Canadian here!! I have lived in Nova Scotia (and toured around the maritime provinces there), born and raised Ontario, and lived in Alberta and now British Columbia. If you have any questions on places to see if you do decide to make it up here, I am more than happy to provide suggestions 🙂
I was very fortunate to get my HPV vaccination done shortly after I graduated with my Bachelors, I had way less sex then and was right at my peak. So those who are in their twenties please do, takes like 3 shots over the span of a year I think. Saves you some hassle in the long run.
To back track on @Copa’s story, I absolutely hate it as well when friends think that because you are friends you can shit talk or justify your poor actions in your group with no judgement. That to me is just enabling. Hard to call friends out in the moment, but I have done it before when a couple of my friends were shit talking a girl we used to go to HS with a ‘prude’ just because they found her annoying. Even when I called them out one of them tried to say ‘oh this should be a space that we can do this in.’ No, I am not gonna let you shit talk a sweet person who has literally done you no wrong just so you can vent your own insecurities (I assume).
Reminds me of season one episode one of the Marvelous Mrs Maisel where Midges Dad tells her how he warned her about Joel before they got married. He ‘told’ her by asking if she thought he was the right guy (he tries to say that was him warning her he was ‘weak’). She of course is infuriated because he didn’t warn her, just asked her if she thought he was right for her.
I want someone who my parents can relate to, not so much ‘approve’ of. Despite not being close in proximity to my folks, and most likely going to be distant for the near future, it is just a small familial thing I would like. I value my family time when I visit, and to have a partner who can relate or get along with my family is a bonus that would allow for a different relationship dynamic to develop. Although none of my dating or relationships have been based upon that train of thought. But once it get serious I always wonder if my parents and siblings would take to them.
