What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

The goal this year (2026) is to lurk less and post and comment more.

  • I've been on the fence about kimchi. I tried so many in Canada and Australia, but I just don't like the flavour. However, couldn't stop eating it when I was in South Korea. Definitely the jar vs fresh thing. I find the jar stuff just too strong.

  • A bit of sriracha would go well, yes! And also yes, I was too excited and hungry, so I might have put a little too much pressure on the roll when cutting, haha!

  • Pizza day

    Jump

  • Currently sitting on a step stool while out shopping with the +1 while he tries on dress shirts for a wedding he's going to next week. I would kill to be eating this pizza right now.

  • Those with a smart watch, which one and how do you use it daily?

    Jump

  • I have a Garmin Fenix 5 Plus. I track my activities whether it's a long walk, a hike, or paddle. It helps when hiking because if I get a bit lost, I can look at the map to see the trails I've walked, or how fast I've paddled/hiked/etc. It also has an emergency function so if my heart rate suddenly spikes or if I quickly drop in height (like a cliff, though it has been triggered once when I climbed down a water fall), it'll send an emergency message to my emergency contacts with coordinates.

    I have it set to remind me to move every hour if I haven't moved from my desk. This in addition to step counts.

    Sleep tracking, though Garmin is/was notorious for poor sleep tracking, so I don't really count on it too much.

    Date and time. I also have a little clock on the bottom to tell me what time it is back home so I know when to not call.

    I like seeing my fitness go up on the dial. Not so much the other way around.

    I also use it for my morning wake up alarm. It vibrates on my wrist instead of an audible alarm to wake up the +1. He doesn't have a smart watch, so I wake up every morning at stupid o'clock.

    Badges. I love collecting the badges.

  • What are some words that you have or had troubles spelling and made up funny ways to help remember them?

  • Interesting! I have heard almost similar with eye-byoo-proh-fen instead. Wonder if it's a regional thing or an individual thing.

  • That's a good one! Maybe not quite on top, but still a good answer. I think it'd be like how they teach us directions as kids: Never Eat Shredded Wheat, Never Eat Soggy Weiners,.. Just looked up how others remember this, and some of them are NSFW. 😂

  • Hmm... Might be a roundabout way, but occurrence could be that good things occur in threes... So 3 C's. I don't know what to do about the double R's though.

  • Oh, good one. I forgot that I used to say this as a kid!

  • There are so many words that are squiggles under words when my documents are set to "English (Australia)".. Program vs programme, feces vs faeces (I swear I don't just talk about bodily functions all the time - it's part of my job).

    I did write "candy" on one of my first Food Act Orders that I wrote here in AUS, and my boss wanted to look over them before I sent them out. She circled it in red and wrote "What is this". Granted, she was a very peculiar individual and I don't think she ever left her city to explore what was out there.

  • This is really good! I'm keeping this for when I have nieces and nephews to teach.

  • I've had a big day so I haven't had time to respond to all of the comments, but this cracked me up so I have to explain now before sleep, haha. I'm so sorry for laughing. What I meant is just for the spelling of diarrhea vs diarrhoea.

    However, I did spend a lot of time in regional Victoria waaaay out west (7 years) and they really did border on saying "diarr-roy-uh".. Or "diarr-ROYEE-uh". There's really no way of putting some Aussie pronunciations in to words. Maybe occa. When I first saw "naur", it was so odd, but it kinda works.

  • I just thought of another one... Yogurt and yoghurt. And yes, I definitely do the Wed-nes-day thing, too!

  • What's your native language? English has so many rules and exceptions.

  • Thank you! The first time I went to Europe, we stayed in Germany for a week, and I did Amsterdam for only a few days. Will definitely be back to expand our culinary horizons for sure.

  • I've yet to try bread in a Dutch supermarket, but I can confirm that this bread loaf was yum! If I were to go the Netherlands, would you be able to recommend a shop and/or type of bread? The last time I was there, I was mad for the funnel cakes 😅

  • Knowing where to not eat, stay, swim, or do any beauty/health treatments (tattoos, mani/pedi, hairdressing, etc.), and knowing how to protect myself.

    Scouting out festivals and special events pre-opening and during for free.

    Learning secret recipes and secret ingredients to make food level up.

    Flexibility.

    Edit: Clearly did not read instructions. The top one is the best perk. The second one is on par if I got to do more festivals!
