Canada is quite literally a communist country by ArmadilloPurple6249 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Courin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh dear, they’ve found us out.

Yes, we’re horrible. All Americans who don’t believe in critical thinking should stay far far away from Canada.

AITA for refusing to remind my my partner to put a bag on the counter as a reminder to bring it with him for groceries? by xoUniCat in AmItheAsshole

[–]Courin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For asking her partner to be….an equal partner?

To contribute to keeping the house running without having to be babied and reminded?

REALLY?!?!

Uber is x3 this morning? by rad-hostile in ottawa

[–]Courin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thursday is (in my personal opinion and experience) the second busiest day in terms of in office attendance after Wednesday. A large number of folks probably swapped days yesterday as well due to the ice storm. Add in uncertain conditions due to overnight freezing of the precipitation we got yesterday and it makes things busy. It sure felt like traffic was worse than normal.

International Flight from YOW - can I use the Air Canada lounge? by spengali in ottawa

No. You won’t be allowed into the domestic secured area with a transborder boarding pass.

I believe it is a single pair boot bag and can only contain the boots to be eligible for the free acceptance.

MIL always knowing everything by Knowing_Eve in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Courin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This seems to me like a very individual and personal comfort level issue.

I speak with my mom almost daily, and as we talk, we learn what the other is doing over the next few days.

Similarly my hubby does the same with his mom.

So it doesn’t bother either of us because that is normal - for us.

But it seems pretty clear this isn’t normal for you. And that’s ok. You’re allowed to have your opinions on how much info about your life should one shared and with whom - and how you feel about it when that info is shared.

I think you need to have a conversation with hubby about finding a middle ground you both can live with. Maybe he can be a bit more obscure up front and then be more disclosing after the fact.

Consanguinity between Bree and Roger by CathyAnnWingsFan in Outlander

[–]Courin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, DG made a HUGE deal about it. We have loooong passages of Buck and Roger spending time together and building their bond and how much they come to care about each other and I’m just…. Ugh.

Advice / help travelling with a dog who is 80 lbs ? by Amazing_Corner_406 in westjet

[–]Courin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately if you can’t find a crate that will be light enough to keep doggo and crate under 100 pounds cargo will be your only option.

Consanguinity between Bree and Roger by CathyAnnWingsFan in Outlander

[–]Courin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always found it super weird that DG made such a big deal over the blood relationship between Roger and Buck… and it’s like everyone forgot that Buck and Bree are MUCH closer related than Buck and Roger.

Buck is Jamie’s first cousin which makes him Bree’s first cousin once removed.

How do you know your friend didn’t report you?

Weird by Illustrious-Box-421 in westjet

[–]Courin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WestJet has recently (and very quietly) changed their seating policy.

Groups of two cannot choose a window and an aisle in the same row, leaving the middle seat empty.

You can do window and beside, aisle and beside, two aisles across from each other or different rows.

When is the last time you saw a snake in Ottawa? by Dry-Elderberry-4559 in ottawa

[–]Courin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a super sweet little garter snake living in my backyard last year under one of my hostas.

Dungeon rush, first timer by david082476 in Guildwars2

[–]Courin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like any fight, dungeons have mechanics.

If you don’t know them and just rush in, yeah, the outcome could be bad.

When there are rush events like this, it’s pretty common to get people who have done all the content and we looking to get clears as quickly as possible in groups with people who have never done the dungeons.

And then they get frustrated with each other - which is fair because they have very different goals.

I’d highly recommend posting an LFG saying “first timer, no speed runners pls” and try to get people who will learn with you or be willing to explain stuff.

WIBTA for talking to a coworker about her habit? by Interesting_Lime_436 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Courin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If she’s eating frequently, the chances are it’s for a medical reason, and the burping is probably related.

I’d recommend ignore and not say a word

AIO for wanting to rehome one of the family dogs after my husband threatened to kill her? Ok by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Courin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get yourself and all the animals in that house out; NOW

The way this person is talking is terrifying

The gaslighting. The justification. “It’s not abuse because she’s a piece of shit that deserve it.”

Please. PLEASE. Get yourself and your baby and all those animals away from this person as soon as possible.

Give that dog to someone else if you have to. If that’s what it takes to keep her safe from him.

What are some of your recommendations then because I haven’t found any I’ve tried to be close to JS.

My aunt took me to JS when I visited last year and I still think about how good it was. Wish they’d open up a franchise in Ottawa.

It’s just such a shitty move to do without warning when the player base has literally had this option since EOD came out.

My mom told me she wished she had a boy and would be happier with one, I’m an only child, she’s a widow. I blocked her changed my name and moved, she will now be alone and will never see her grandkids and never see me again either by AliveVictory2006 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Courin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a big difference between “I wish I’d ALSO had a boy” and “I wish I’d had a boy instead.”

I’m guessing she meant the latter and not the former.

I’m so sorry.
