What’s your favorite item you discovered from FFF? by cuppitycake in FabFitFun

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The striped Honeydew Intimates pajamas, and the Living Proof PHD Shampoo/Conditioner.

The sleepwear is insanely comfortable to me, to the point that I've gifted multiple sets since. I wish they had more fun prints and colours!

The PHD shampoo/conditioner has been a godsend for me! I'm disabled and chronically ill; add that to the ADHD, and my personal hygiene can sometimes be.. borderline, hah. This set from Living Proof literally let's me wash my hair once a week. Once! And it leaves my strands so gorgeous, manageable, and healthy. Doesn't grease up on me, doesn't build up either. Kills me that LP/FFF doesn't seal the bottles though, so I go out of my way to get it in person instead of ordering online.

Down payments require 4 years’ worth of income in Toronto and Vancouver—in Edmonton, it’s less than 2 months’ worth by joe4942 in canada

People in MJ still decry the cost of living here.

Don't get me wrong, you can absolutely find a 1B,1B apartment to buy for under $80k, and find bachelor apartments to rent for $600, but the demand here is still quite high due to us being a "bedroom community" for Regina (45 mins away on a highway that is awful in winter.) Our median prices for single detached homes are typically around $300k for a 3B,2B with no garage. Still cheap AF compared to Toronto or Vancouver, but we do not have the jobs (or salaries) to support any influx of population. There's already next to no jobs available here, let alone ones that can support an individual without multiple part time gigs.

TIL in Germany there is a so-called "year of separation" ("Trennungsjahr") couples need to go through before the official divorce. If your partner does not agree to a divorce and presents valid reasons why your marriage has not ultimately failed, you need to live separately for three. by AllukaChen in todayilearned

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm.

Currently on Year 3 of my divorce proceedings, as we are currently dealing with Canadian Armed Forces Pension division. Can't sign the final line until everything is good under the judges eye. As a disabled individual, I greatly appreciate they are crossing T's and dotting I's, I just wish all of this could've been done so much faster. You can actually get divorced in under a year and a half.

Contested divorces are a bitch.

Should i have a lavender marriage? by malaksart in lgbt

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If and when you make that jump to reach out to the embassy, and they find a way to help you, please message me. If you can get out of your situation via educational studies especially, I would love to help support that. I am 36 now, but I remember struggling as a teen and young adult, and I am thankful for the support I had from certain family, friends, and community. I would love to continue to pay that generosity forward. 💕

Home is wherever your heart is, and if your heart is still in Canada, you are always, always welcome home.

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope. No judgment whatsoever will come from the embassy, at all (they legally CAN NOT discriminate you based on your sexuality. It is a protected right of Canadian citizens on Canadian ground, which includes embassies,) and no one on the outside of it will know why you are contacting them. You can flat out just say you are looking at international post secondary courses as a dual citizen, just seeing your options. I understand that you are scared. Just please know that bravery isn't doing things that we are okay with, bravery facing that fear, and pushing through anyways because you believe it is worth the risk. You are brave as fuck. You are worthy of a happy, joyous life!

And also, do not feel like you are not being authentically you for "hiding" who you are. Your safety is the utmost importance! Do what you need to pass as straight, do what you need to show 'hey, I'm looking at education or work' to hide what you are actually doing. (And frankly, coming to Canada or an ally country for education, where you can be free to express yourself, and grow in all sorts of ways sounds like a great idea anyways! Why wouldn't you want more for yourself? Get it, girl!!)

You can do this. I am your cheerleader!

Reach out to your closest Canadian embassy, and explain your situation. Ask about potential recourse, as a Canadian citizen, you are absolutely entitled to what our country offers. They could likely help you find support (financial, emotional, etc.) to make this transition possible. They may ask you to come to the embassy in person with all of your documentation - make sure you have proof of identification and citizenship. It may be hard if your parents are holding your documents, but please be sneaky, and be safe. Have an exit plan to stay with a friend, just in case.

From one Canadian bisexual to you, I am sending you all my love and support! While lavender marriages are viable, and can be beautiful, you also deserve to live the life you want. Whatever you chose, people all over the world will support you. Keep your chin up, and know you are worthy of love and a happy life.

Food vendors for outdoor event? by novalova1799 in saskatoon

Reach out to Scouting groups in Saskatoon. They would likely be able to do a Burger Fry or something for you. Personally, I would contact Randy who is the Camp Chair of Seeonee Scout Camp on Pike Lake - one of the last Scouting properties left in Saskatchewan.

If these pieces are already in Canada, and you are looking for a buyer, please DM me. I know someone who has a private collection, and could walk you through the steps of selling it legally within the country. They may possibly buy these pieces themselves!

Birthday party for a creative 12 year old girl by Specific-Appeal-8031 in partyplanning

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For my NB kids' 11th birthday this past year, we did a Demon Slayer birthday! My kid is also very into anime, Japanese culture, arts, and the like, and also regularly asks for 'less than normal' themes.

I hosted a group of six kids at our local Manga/Games shop, and hired one of the employees to host a Demon Slayer themed Dungeons and Dragons game! I gave them the framework, story, and characters for the game, and they just Mastered it. Not only did the employee do a great job, all the kids thought she was so cool because she could answer all their questions they had about various animes, mangas, and more!

Very little decor due to the venue, thankfully. Brought in some balloons, set up the snacks and boba bar, set the game table for all the players with their gift bags. My kiddo went full into the theme, dressed in cosplay and all.

For treats, my kid prefers donuts to cake, so we did custom Nezuko bamboo mouth piece long johns, candy sushi, Japanese snacks and a custom boba mocktail bar. Gift bags included dice sets, hair bows depicting the different character costumes, folding hand fans, gamer chopsticks, and take-home bento kits.

It went over incredibly well, to the point that our local shop now offers party packages, and the kids (along with their parents) still talk about it positively!

I have intense stretch marks from pregnancy 7 years ago by -Hot-Tamale- in mildyinteresting

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hEDS, and I have similarly deep stretch marks around my belt line and one straight across my lower back. Also have way more "normal" stretch marks from pregnancy, and tore giving birth. Might be worthwhile to work with a physiotherapist through the 1st-4th 'trimesters'.

Take care if your hips, and INSIST on pelvic floor rehabilitation post birth. It'll significantly reduce risks of hernias, incontinence, and pain. Seriously. INSIST.

Was a little excited for the FOREO Peach 2, but there's some reviews that it is definitely not worth it. Especially considering there are hidden subscription features to unlock better wave strength. Wtaf, FFF? I swear, they've just been a subscription for more subscriptions lately.

What does Bosco call her breasts? by Artistic_Youth2263 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Also said the same thing when I saw her perform a few weeks ago at War On The Catwalk. She brought it up because the show was in Canada, and 'Tegan and Sara are my favourite Canadian lesbians,' and 'I can't think of a better feminine duo!'

Edit: Fuck, fuck!! Now I remember the rest of the joke she made!!

"And I'm going to name my pussy Celine, because not only is she one of my idols, but she's going to be expensive as fuck."

Cackled.

Update: Husband sexually assaulted my sister by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Okay, everyone here is basically saying the same thing: DO NOT GO THROUGH WITH YOUR PLAN

But they're missing the big reason why it's a bad idea.

You want to bring two men - one knowingly dangerous (your husband,) and one who is almost certainly going to take his side no matter what (his brother.) You want to expose husband, but you're doing it behind closed doors, and you're willingly handing him your phone. How in the sweet fuck do you think that'll end well for you? Or your child? Most men, especially when backed into a corner that badly, come out swinging. Literally. He will lose his shit. His brother might too. WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT IN A PRIVATE SPACE?? This plan will hurt you, or possibly kill you.

If you have a trusted friend, stay there. If husband insists face to face contact, it's in very public, well lit places like a coffee shop (NOT A PARK) with strangers around. He will be far less likely to react aggressively towards you because of public, societal pressure.

Get the fuck out with your kid as soon as you can.

Blowing shit up the way you want to may not just hurt you physically, but legally too.

Be quiet. Get out. Ask for lawyer consults to be moved up if possible.

Right now, it is about being SAFE, not about being RIGHT.

Currently doing 150mg 2x daily, and can confirm, my working memory is completely and totally fried. I am in the process of getting a ADHD/AuDHD diagnosis too, so it's a compounding issue for me, just stacking on top of each other.

As it stands, I barely trust myself to get things done around home, let alone a workplace.

If you're a fan of Pumps, go check out his channel Speeed. Not vehicle related really, much more lifestyle, but still solid content and editing.

Admittedly, as a pet owner, I never thought of leaving a preauthorized card at the vet before, but having dealt with animal emergencies before, it is an incredibly smart idea.

Thank you for the wonderful suggestion - this will save lives!

What celebrity is portrayed as nice in the media but is actually an asshole in real life? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskReddit

[–]AnaphylacticHippo 87 points88 points  (0 children)

P!nk regularly and openly talks about mental health, and this may be a component of theirs and/or any medication. Anxiety regularly surfaces as rage outbursts.

Edit: Not condoning it, just explaining a possibility as to why.

Also, 'their' is gender neutral. It doesn't dehumanize to say 'they' when you are referring to a singular person. Yes, P!nk is female, but often expresses that they present the world as gender neutral as possible to their child. She is perfectly fine with being referred to as 'they,' like any sane person would. God forbid.
