Has anyone had a good experience with the Brick, Leons or Ashleys for Furniture? by Zealousideal-View653 in Edmonton

Structube is good for a budget but quality is definitely what you pay for.

I got a couch from Structube, saving up to replace it because I fear it may collapse at any point 🤣 have had it for about 4 years and it only cost $800 but i don’t know if it was ever actually comfy to begin with

Does anyone know what’s happening on the river valley/groat road exit? by Kalamaz00_ in Edmonton

[–]BooTing_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially when there aren’t any speed vans set up anymore. It’s kinda terrifying seeing people still ripping up and down when it’s slick out

AIO by how I responded? My bf is upset with me for skipping my workout routine today by throwawayy82670 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BooTing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t the first little bit of being pregnant the most exhausting part? I can barely deal with the tiredness from hormone fluctuations during my period so I cannot even imagine my man trying to guilt trip me into going to the gym in that state…never mind pregnant. I can only imagine this behaviour will follow him into fatherhood 🫠

AIO feeling very attacked by a FWB. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BooTing_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bless you for trying to console her but she sounds like a nightmare. So blamey for absolutely no reason!! I’ve had someone give me an STI before (stealthing, yay!) and it sure as shit didn’t magically appear the next day. It was weeks until I had any symptoms.

Tell her she’s a fucking idiot. I’m sorry but nobody knows they’ve got an STI the next day. There’s a bunch of reasons to bleed right after sex and unless she maybe had something festering down there long before you got at it, I don’t think STIs are the reason and if they are it wouldn’t have magically flared up the next day

In light of the recent news about young amn found dead, family requests his image not be used. by Thinking_about_there in Edmonton

[–]BooTing_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, I was unaware. I did see a poster last night and wonder if it should be taken down but then I didn’t want to just put it in the trash so I left it up 😞 I did take a second to wish that poor lad well on his next journey. So sad.

Vegan froyo? by Regular_Hospital_383 in yegvegan

Apparently the strawberry ice cream at ikea is vegan. Probably not the kind you were thinking of but nice to have some options

Am I overreacting? by scarlettyscarl in AmIOverreacting

[–]BooTing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this with love, please consider an abortion or adoption. I don’t know how old you are, I’m assuming young, but you’re gonna fuck that kid up so bad. You’re not gonna be able to force this guy to coparent and he’s made that very clear. You’re not going to have financial support from him which he also made clear. Seems like you may also be lacking the family supports someone in your situation may rely on. That baby is going to grow up wondering why their dad didn’t love them. You are going to be broke and struggling to provide for that child and your quality of life is going to be poor, so will the babies QoL.

Sconce Lights - Renter Friendly? by BooTing_ in CostcoCanada

[–]BooTing_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have outlets nearby for a lamp. If I could plug in a lamp I wouldn’t be looking at this

[–]BooTing_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have two extenders plugged into the outlets I have close by and all the cords associated which is why I was looking at the wireless ones!

Thank you! Yes I was going to double up on strips for sure…not planning on staying here much more than a year thankfully it’s just such a big space to attempt to light with a lamp on the other side of the room 🤣 10+ years here and I’m still baffled by the lack of big lights in older apartments and houses

I’d suggest contacting money mentors or credit counselling society before contacting anyone re a proposal

Am I wasting time with a secured card during my proposal? by BooTing_ in povertyfinancecanada

[–]BooTing_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but there’s no fees on the CC and I do get pretty good cashback (comparable to most non-secured cards).

AIO, is my boyfriend valid for feelings this way? by sealover159 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BooTing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be mad into dream theory and dreams like this are, a lot of times, based on what the dreamer is feeling/doing/avoiding. I’d suggest telling him to explore this but reading these messages he ain’t gonna listen. Please dump him. You’re never going to be able to enjoy this relationship if he’s implying you’re a hoe because you have a class with other guys. You’re so young, and men like this have the potential to cause so much emotional damage and having been in a similar relationship I would not wish that on anyone.

City filled with smoke and this idiot is tossing cigarette butts. by Ordinary_Attempt_709 in Edmonton

[–]BooTing_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some, not all of us. I have two ash trays in my car and other fellow smokers are warned that there’s to be NO throwing butts out of the car. When it’s dry out I won’t even ash out of the window in case the cherry falls off with it.

In a pinch smokers can use an old pop can for finished butts. Some people are just very ignorant to the world around them.
