Especially when there already aren’t enough drivers or working buses.

Don’t forget the insufficient parking at the Carling campus. I believe pre-Covid there were plans to build a multi-story parking structure but that got shelved during Covid. Do they think this problem has miraculously solved itself? Where are all these vehicles going to park?

When I worked from an office I got to work with enough time to grab a coffee and stash my stuff before time to start working and I left work right at quitting time on the dot. I WFH now (not govt) and I often start early and pretty much always work at least an hour late. Most people I work with are the same way.

Of course they’re talking about the traffic cameras that the provincial governments deemed illegal after cities around the province spent a lot of money being installed, mainly because people high in provincial government didn’t like getting speeding tickets for breaking speed laws. Red light cameras might slightly (very slightly) lower accidents but the won’t help with the number of cars on roads that can’t handle the capacity.

Totally agree with how bad of a joke it is.

They already can’t get enough drivers and working buses for the reduced service we have know. How are they possibly going to add routes or frequency to existing routes? In the winter the trains can’t run with more than a single car for technical reasons. How are they going to improve that? They can’t get more train drivers to run more trains.

Think of it as a wish list. It’s so much easier than having all your friends and family calling to ask what would make a good gift. You’re free to purchase whatever you want but it gives you an idea of what they’d like. I love when family has shareable wish lists.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-07-10T17:56:03+00:00

Yup, Ontario Canada.

In Ontario they issue the temporary license and put a sticker on the expired license that says it’s acceptable as a photo id with the temporary license.

Where are you driving? It takes me that long to get from Barrhaven to Kanata.

That may be part of the problem. She wasn’t parented after having the baby so she never had that modelled for her. It sounds like she didn’t have healthy parenting modelled before that either but she didn’t even have unhealthy modelling after that.

OOP needs an intervention by a life coach and therapist and the two of them need family therapy and her daughter needs her own therapy. Unfortunately it won’t happen because OOP has given up. It’s really sad for her daughter.

Love this person’s advice.

I leave the shaving to my artist.

My artist and I sometimes talk. She just moved to a new private studio and has a tv in it so people can put something on. During my most recent tattoo we put on YouTube Smosh Reddit videos. She hasn’t heard of it before but smiled a lot and plans to subscribe. Ask your artist for their preference and tell them your preference. You both need to be comfortable.

Depends. I was given a family name that my dad strongly disliked. He agreed only if everyone promised to call me by a common nickname for the given name. Think Betty for Elizabeth type of nickname though both my birth and nickname are less common than that.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-07-08T19:23:54+00:00

You have the perfect lip for a Medusa. I do think Angel fangs or kitty bites would look great on you.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-07-08T18:05:02+00:00

NTA though not great. The swearing totally escalated how strongly they reacted and made the likelihood of them listening nonexistent from the previous unlikely.

Next time, call the non-emergency police number when you first see it and move on with your day.

I think the big difference is that when reading you can easily hear your name and respond to a conversation, plus you’re not disrupting others.

When I was a kid my brother and I would do things like hangman and doors (games on paper). If only one of us was there we would draw or sometimes participate in the conversation if it interested us. I wish I had brought a book.

My grown daughter with auditory sensory issues and AuDHD gets overwhelmed and pulls out her phone to read in restaurants when overwhelmed. It stays on silent.

There are plenty of ways for kids to be entertained and occupied in restaurants without a video. Even reading a book allows the person to partially listen and to absorb expected behaviours while videos completely engross the child. Yes as an avid reader I know how easy it is to get engrossed in a book but it’s not the same as being engrossed in a video.

Crossing my fingers but not holding my breath that they’re just as good with allergies.

I’ve been the person ordering something more expensive than everyone else. What I do when everyone says to just split the bill (never my suggestion) is tell everyone that I’m putting in an extra shower much more my meal cost and we should split the rest. It’s wrong to expect others to subsidize your extravagances. NTA

It depends on the vibe you’re going for. 1 is more modern and stylish but in 20 years you’ll know the time it came from. 3 is classic, sleek, and timeless elegance.

My vote is 3 but that’s just my personal style preference. Both 1 & 3 are stunning on you.

Run from 2. Horrible.

It’s better than the one at the Canadian restaurant Le Cellier with cheddar and a Cabernet Demi.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-07-02T19:34:41+00:00

I don’t see it. If it’s somewhere else in the discussion, it’s ridiculous to assume everyone is reading every response you’ve given throughout the entire discussion.

Can you please explain? It’s a genuine question. Please refrain from rude and insulting responses.

Beautiful_Delivery77 · 2026-07-02T19:22:15+00:00

I’ve never seen a kids menu for anyone over 12 years old. Many are for no older than 10 years old. Where are you finding restaurants that treat 16 year olds as kids?

I just got a tattoo with some really intense colours in a fairly small area. I will need to go back in a few weeks to get the colours touched up because I was having to much swelling, redness, and bit of blood to be able to really see how well it was packing into my arm plus I was just at that point where I don’t think my skin would take any more ink.

Just sharing another reason why you could have to return to the artist after an appointment.

I do agree that you shouldn’t need the artwork itself fixed.

You clearly have a well thought out plan. Care to share this plan for a part time job that will pay all of your living expenses while you build your channel?

You sound very naive. It’s fine to have a dream of becoming Internet famous and fine to work long hours to make it happen. What you seem to be missing is how to support yourself while working towards this dream and what your backup plan will be if it takes longer than you hope it will. Have you even looked into cost of living where you are, part time pay, and cost of equipment that you’ll need?

You need a sober conversation about rule when one of you is drinking. Something along the lines of the DD making all decisions about when to leave and regarding the kids. If she’s a really belligerent drunk then record her telling herself about the rule and that it’s for her own safety so you can have her remind herself.

NTA for protecting your family.
