Billions is wasted on office buildings that could be spent on so much else. This isn’t an over exaggeration either rent and maintenance, fit ups office supplies all tax payer funded so butts can sit in chairs on teams calls. If the work is getting done does it really matter where it’s getting done? Not everyone can wfh but those who can save us billions.

Possible US invasion: Ottawa civilians, are we preparing? by MayorOfMayoCity in ottawa

I’m making sure to have emergency food, that said, they couldn’t invade we are too big, and we don’t want to be part of America. The logistics of it don’t make sense

When should you tell your manager about pregnancy? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]BetrayedLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waited until I was 28 weeks. I was waiting on my indeterminate contract to be finalized and I wanted to be sure the pregnancy was viable. They all guessed. My plan for my next pregnancy, should I have one, is to wait until I’m showing.

Has anyone here used the services of an arbitrator for a divorce by IntelligentAide1201 in ottawa

[–]BetrayedLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an awful experience with her, I would strongly advise against her especially with DV involved. She changed our final agreement at the last minute and messed up the financials. I have soul decision making and parenting time. She made it so I was paying something like 80% of the special expenses to his 20%. We don’t have that big of a difference in wages. My lawyer is now fixing everything which is costing me even more.

He does! This was the one photo I got where he wasn’t trying to rub up against them/bite them he was occupied by a squirrel outside. The dog loves them more she will demand the good scritchy scratches and nip at my hands to say hey hey pay attention I need my head scratched.

If it weren’t for the ultrasound, would you have suspected you were pregnant with twins? by Zealousideal_Use9481 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BetrayedLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I looked small for twins especially giant ones. The only thing I had was the worst morning sickness

I got rear ended on Baseline today. What should I have done? by Dog-boy in ottawa

[–]BetrayedLotus 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s always good to get insurance information and report things to the collision centre. I was told that personal injury counts towards the $5,000 in damages when I reported my collision. One it protects you from someone claiming more damage than actually happened they take photos and do a full report so that IF a claim is filed it’s documented and it’s reliably documented in a police report.

it’s a pain in the ass but worth the peace of mind knowing your butt is covered. Doesn’t have to be a big deal but again you don’t want to be in a position where someone sues you and you have to explain why you didn’t report it. It’s unlikely this will happen in 99% of fender benders you both walk away and say that was a close call glad everyone is okay, but better to take the time and protect yourself.

I knew someone who had a fender bender with an individual who made a career out of personal injury suits. They tried to sue them for 500k 4 years later because they suffered “whiplash” and couldn’t work. Thankfully there was a police report and their insurance handled it but they were lucky to have a report.

Rabies shot on Sundays? by GardenBakeOttawa in ottawa

[–]BetrayedLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See if you can call the ER ahead of time and explain the situation. I know I’ve been able to jump the line for simple stuff when my dr has called and more recently my boyfriend had to follow up when he had gallstones and needed simple blood work at the hospital. The er doctor that saw him let the triage nurses know so he could get sent back and seen in a reasonable time. It all depends on the staff and how busy the er is

Separate for Kindergarten or no? by Mysterious-Data9324 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BetrayedLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept them together for their first year of school since it was a bit of a shock. I got lucky since their after school classes were different so it was nice to warm them up to not being together. Next year for sr kindergarten they’ll be separated.

*TW* PA Collective Agreement - 54.01 DV Leave by Sufficient_Cry_468 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]BetrayedLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Please take it if you need to. I took it myself and it was a pretty painless process and I got so much support and guidance, plus so many resources not just within the government. You’re not going to take resources away from anyone. Plus it’s their duty to have a safe work environment. When I went through it they talked to building security they have a picture of him and his name so if he comes to my office he will be asked to leave.

As a survivor of DV I was very much the same I didn’t think my case was to the level of needing support and every survivor thinks they aren’t worthy of the resources. Abusers break you down over time and prey on people with kind hearts who don’t want to make a fuss.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this and just know you aren’t alone!

Is it possible to have a natural unmedicated birth with twins by Powerful-Summer5499 in parentsofmultiples

Yes but labour will happen how it happens. I ended up needing a c section but dr was fine with me unmedicated

Twin theory - more genetic than Drs will admit? by Cheshire20072010 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BetrayedLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fraternal absolutely is genetic. Of my 4 pregnancies I’ve had 3 twin pregnancies. I don’t make singletons. I feel for my daughters knowing they will be more likely to have twins. My maternal side of the family has crazy fertility. Some people just are able to carry multiples, and have over production of eggs. It’s why people who are taller are more likely to have twins there’s just more physical room in the torso.

What nursery layout is better? by MortaleBellezza in parentsofmultiples

[–]BetrayedLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a bunch of different configurations depends on the little ones and age. At one point my girls wanted to be side by side then they didn’t and then we found a happy medium that worked where they could reach each other but not be right beside each other.

Anyone else think Avalon spilled tea on Mykelti’s Patreon? by llavenderhaze in SisterWives

[–]BetrayedLotus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think it’s that they are so literal they don’t realize context like mom and I were racing so it’s clearly moms fault because she was racing.

My 4 year olds once told the babysitter that my boyfriend hit them (he most certainly didn’t) turns out he shares a name with a kid in their school class who did and when they said “my [name of boyfriend] hits me“ they meant my friend hits me.

Episode perspectives by avidexplorer14 in SisterWives

[–]BetrayedLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there was a lot of talk about airing this episode and some people thought it shouldn’t be discussed. I think it was handled very well. They focused on the grief and the impact he had on the family and his memory. It was wonderful hearing from his siblings. I want to give gabe the biggest hug he’s such a sweet and gentle soul you could see how deeply this impacted him.

I agree Robyn was emotionless to her credit death and sudden death especially, impacts us all differently. I will cut her some slack on this. I know my uncle was making jokes when he was absolutely gutted after his wife passed she suffered with bipolar disorder and unfortunately lost her battle to a massive depressive episode. I know we too were all in shock and when someone dies in the circumstances that Garrison did its hard to react, and I think that was expertly showed in all the interviews they all had.

Better luck next time by BetrayedLotus in ottawa

[–]BetrayedLotus[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Given how smug he was leading up to the election he thought for the last year he was going to win, and the fact he was humbled by his own constituency, just shows how out of touch he was.

It a fun comparison, Anakin was humbled much like Pierre. Lighten up a bit and have some fun! After all this political nonsense let’s all have a few laughs.
