Where To Get Little Mermaid (Ariel) Birthday Party Supplies?

This is actually posed as a question because I don't have the answers.
It's my little girl's birthday soon and we are planning a Little
Mermaid (Ariel) themed party. However, I realized it was very hard get
this specific Disney character shipped to Vancouver, BC. We usually
order our birthday party supplies from Celebrate Express
(www.celebrateexpress.com) and am able to get some supplies like
balloons and banners with Ariel printed on them but am unable to order
invitation cards, party favors, or table cloths with same Disney
character. Why is that? It can't be a licensing limitation because
everything should have been barred if that was the case.

My wife found this store in North Vancouver called Party City
(www.partycity.com) and she said that they sold the Little Mermaid
birthday party supplies so we decided to head out there this past
weekend. They did have Holloween supplies with the Little Mermaid
character on them but no birthday party supplies. They had birthday
party supplies with Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, or any of the other
princesses but no Ariel. Bizarre!

A possible answer is that there is some sort of rotation for release
of various Disney characters. The other day we were at London Drugs
looking for Little Mermaid blueray or DVD media and was told that I
would have to wait 4 years (or when the stars were aligned) for
restocking. He said that anything not sold would have to be sent back
so they don't have any in stock. I supposed this cycle applies to
birthday party supplies as well.

It wasn't all for nothing because by visiting Party City I did learn
that Dora as a costume is very scary. Tell me this doesn't make your
skin crawl?

How I Fixed My In-Sink Garburator

Our kitchen garburator had been out of order for the past few weeks and I thought I would give it some tender loving care this Christmas Holidays because we'll need it. It's a Mainline Model 1900 and has been very dependable for the past 6 years. This happened a few times before and all I did was run a wooden barbeque stick through the serrated edges of the garburator blade to dislodge whatever gunk was in there and that did the trick. It didn't this time and I was ready to spend some money. I was tempted to call our plumber and have them fix this for me (here take my money) but I thought to myself, how hard can this be. I was also tempted to take the whole thing apart to clean whatever was causing the blade to not spin but I'm sure I would have lost a few fingers or two if I did that. What did work was using something everyone already has lying around the kitchen - a butter knife. Take the butter knife and find the gap in the blade to insert the tip of the kn...

Success Story Renewing my Okta Maintenance Certification thru Examity

The Okta Certified Professional certification had to be renewed every 2 years and my maintenance exam was due on July 30, 2023. I was confident about passing the exam because I had just completed an HRIS mastering project and Okta. However, the exam format was unnatural using DOMC (discreet option multiple choice), so I had to study and review a fair bit of material to prepare. After studying a decent amount, I scheduled my exam for Tuesday, June 27, 2023. After hitting the next page, there was an error so I hit the back button and tried again. I was able to get it scheduled but didn't know that the exam date was actually scheduled for Sunday, June 25, 2023, for some reason. There was a confirmation email stating that but of course, I did not read it because I was focused on the Tuesday, June 27th date. I continued cramming until Tuesday but realized in horror that I was a no-show when I logged in 30 minutes before the exam at 10:30pm. If you have ever done offsite exams, yo...

High-blood Pressure Scare

My wife recently had an elevated high blood pressure. It was very unexpected as she was always showing me how low her readings were every time we checked together. I have always been the one constantly monitoring both cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar readings and am really surprised to find out that her readings went through the roof last week. My mother-in-law just left for Toronto last Sunday after a summer full of family gatherings. My wife complained days before that she had constant headaches and took the customary Advil whenever she feels the onset of migraine coming or when her time of the month is near. This time was different however. She said that her head felt like it was about to explode and she decided to check her blood pressure readings at home. The reading came back systolic 230 and diastolic 130. After seeing this, I immediately drove us to Surrey Memorial ER to get her checked out. If you have ever had the opportunity to wait in an emergen...
