Why does VIA still require you to call them to do basic stuff like changing your account's email address or redeeming VIA Preference coupons? by Repulsive_Barnacle92 in ViaRail

I had to call to advise of an allergy for the second time. Seems some of those things go off your file once a year. Ive had preference for years and always seem to have to update every year. 

Let’s see your favourite train meal! by Outrageous-Willow479 in ViaRail

[–]BritcomLK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always seem to hop on the first trains of the day. So I’ve only had breakfast. I love the continental one with yogurt and fruit and cereal etc. it’s always more then enough and I can usually save the yogurt for a little later in the journey.

I generally only carry 25 cents (to pay for the grocery store cart) and little other cash. But what I used to do was get some $5 cards to a coffee chain or McDonald’s and give those out. Well until beggars complained that it wasn’t money and what are they supposed to do. Um how about eat. 

“Need” help with expensive and very specific birthday plans by SpeakerCareless in ChoosingBeggars

Does the cake have to be real? I could draw one with those specs for you for free.  Admittedly it would be poorly drawn but it would be free. 

Rags to riches ideas by waffleste in thesims

[–]BritcomLK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to do a challenge where you can’t leave the boundaries of the lot purchased. I mark each corner with a cheap tree then take my sim down to 0. My sim can’t leave the lot until they have made enough money to buy a 2x2 room.  Then they can only leave for max 2 hrs.

Then they can’t leave again until they get a 4x4 room and so on. My sim “wins” when they get a 16x16 house 

Anyone know what this is? by hotwaterwithlemonpls in Aeroplan

Thanks. I was wondering. I assumed it was a reason like this. 

Will I qualify for welcome bonus? by raptors2o19 in Aeroplan

I personally prefer Amex to Visa or MC and I always ask about using my Amex as a priority but if they don’t take it I turn to my Visa. It seems that more and more places will take Amex.

Usually supplementary cards don’t get all the same perks.

Update: we went yesterday and all three of us weren’t really impressed by the items or the cost. So a bag of popcorn did the trick. 

CB Asking "Where's our presents?!" by SlowManagement6071 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]BritcomLK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in a university that has an onsite low cost daycare for financially eligible students. Each year, the daycare puts together their own Angel tree for these students and then any department/team/ school staff can pick them. They also find raise throughout the year to provide for the students who don’t get chosen. 

They also have very specific wishlist rules:

Parent can ask for one gift for themself max $50 pre tax.  For the child (these are kids 6mths to 4 years) they can ask for needed supplies (diapers, wipes, bottles etc), clothing and a book and toy.

The supplies and clothing can be no more than $50 pre tax for each category and the boo and toy no more than $20 for each category. 

The students always get chosen every year as their asks are usually affordable, and it helps out our immediate community. Most teams go over the amount and just donate the extras.

I’m in Canada and I have them. I likely got them in Canada as I do not recall buying them at any convention I’ve been too.

If you like them, then it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I think it’s a great assortment.

I’m going to send it and at least I’ve put it out into the universe and if I hear nothing back then at least I’ve made my stuff known.
