How much time do you need to get ready for mass? I imagine you need to get the linen, candles, wine, water, communion wafer, chalice etc ready. In addition, you may need to get dressed.
London Public Library is looking for London high school yearbooks. They didn't say if they're looking for particular years or particular high school though.
My roomba has not been able to make it back to the dock before the battery drains completely. I have cleaned the brush and interior to ensure nothing has been blocking. It may be time for a new battery.
I live in Canada. The Canadian Roomba shop does not have the one for my model (Combo 2 essential robot). Of course Amazon usually has something that seemingly fit the bill, but I'm hesitant to order a non genuine battery from a random place.
I'd like to get a fitted bracelet. What are the places in town? If you have experience with them (good and bad), please feel free to share.
What are some notable hotdog stands nowadays? (Not Costco please)
The location of the hotdog stands seems to be known largely by word-of-mouth. Some hotdog stands rotate between a few locations. Some stay in the same location. Some have specific kinds of sausages. Some operate year-round.
Any prospective, past and present members of University Choir here? I would like to hear what do you think about the ensemble.
Has anyone tried to borrow "cool things" (not books) from the libraries? The concept sounds wonderful, but I'm wondering how it works out in practice.

I've heard how the ice skates were always in high demand during the past winter.
Some notable entries in senior. The fans nearby should be very pleased.
When I got off the train at Kitchener GO one evening last week, I saw a women with a walker asking people for money/food/help loudly. She walked with a noticeable hunch. Would this person be Tina?
I made a habit of saying hello to my parish priest after mass. He's quite busy person serving not only the parish but the schools in the area as well. He must be facing lots of people during the week in addition to the parishioners.
Could you all point to some programs' music and subject matter related to the skaters' nations? I can recall the following:
Trivia: Finland, Sweden and Canada have been dominating synchronized skating during the past decade.
Does anyone know any past Gazette staff who end up pursuing journalism or writing? I read Stuart Thompson over a decade ago and he now works for New York Times.
Did you lose *one* black earbud entering or exiting an LRT this morning? I found one on Allen station's platform (northbound side). I put it on the blue bench.
What are some paths to become proficient singers in reputable, auditioned ensembles (example: paid singers in English cathedrals)? Is an undergraduate degree mandatory?
Since I was a teen, I longed for pursuing my personal interests that may not pay bills. I weren't in a wealthy family. I envy people who do not have to choose their degree with a future career in mind. In my fantasy, I have my plans seemingly all set if I could FIRE.
What do people actually do or not do when they do not need that income from the day job? Do they hand in their notice right away? Do they become choosy on what they work on? Do they pursue personal interests? How do you set goals when you do not please your boss or shareholders anymore?
I'm asking because my parents took the traditional retirement at 65 and needed to find something do on purpose: part-time employment, crafts etc. They long to be connected with others on a regular basis while do not need a job, so they volunteer in the community. They're religious but not super religious, so church is only for 1 day a week.

Kelly Ann Laurin is listed as an senior women entrant in the upcoming Championnats québécois d'été. I'm still kind of sad that she and Loucas split after the team's most successful season.

Tones are crucial in tonal languages including Cantonese. Some people attempt to learn a few phrases online or in person, but the phrases turn out to be unintelligible.
Other than hearing loss, are the known medical conditions that prevent individuals from distinguishing tones and reproducing them? The topic could be independent from not being musical because proficient tonal language speakers may have difficulties in feeling and recalling music.
I am a proficient Cantonese speaker. I have been criticized for being a "perfectionist" or "too picky" about pronunciation. In non-tonal languages such as English, the rise and fall do not change the meaning of the words. In tonal languages, the tones are critical just like consonants and vowels. I have encountered non-native speakers who gave up on learning Cantonese despite immersing in the environment.
What are some great neighbourhood for Little Free Library? Feel free to shout out to your neighbourhood.
