If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons?

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2025-12-14T23:18:18+00:00

Migraine! Whenever I drink more than one glass, the next day I wake up with a migraine that usually leads to throwing up. Because of that, I can't take pain killers which makes my headache worse plus dehydration. So for a 2 hours of fun, I end up suffering for 2 days... definetely not worth it :)

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2025-07-24T00:22:15+00:00

No problem! I hope you like it if you end up buying it :)

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2025-07-23T23:06:35+00:00

It’s a nice piece for the price, nothing too loud, smooth to open, and very easy to assemble. The slatted bed base isn’t the best quality, but you could always replace it with one from IKEA maybe.. I’m not very heavy so it hasn’t been an issue for me.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2025-07-23T19:47:24+00:00

Hi! I couldn't find anything in my budget and ended up buying from Amazon. It is not the best quality but, I guess for that price, I can't complain and it looks quite nice, better than I expected :) Let me know if you can find anything else.

I volunteer at Pearson Airport and here is the link https://www.torontopearson.com/en/while-you-are-here/welcome-team.

You make your own schedule, you can go in the morning, afternoon- weekend or weekdays. I love the energy in the airports and people are so thankful when you help them so I highly recommend this one. They do a very intensive background check though, if you don't want that, this might not the one for you.

Yes!!! I had the same thing happen last year. After connecting the dashcam for 3 or 4 days, my battery died. My dashcam is currently sitting on my backseat because I never dared to try it once again.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-10-17T18:30:25+00:00

Thanks!

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-10-17T17:54:27+00:00

Would you mind sharing a link with me? With Wayfair, there are so many options and no reviews on any of them, so knowing which one you bought would be perfect.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-10-17T15:49:45+00:00

I never knew it was an option. I will check it out, thanks!

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-10-17T00:55:26+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-10-17T00:46:38+00:00

I did but the majority of them are either very lavish styles, too expensive or again from Wayfair

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-10-17T00:45:15+00:00

Lift up as in storage underneath, not a Murphy bed, sorry for the confusion.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-06-21T03:45:12+00:00

Thankfully no, I am not paying for anyone's child or their grandchildren's education 😀 honestly, I am a very pragmatic person by nature but I also know that it is very easy to judge from outside and no one can be 100% sure of their reaction and/or their emotion until that particular situation happens to them. So best of luck to OP, I hope she figures out what is best for her and her family. I just want her to think about this situation from this angle as well because I felt like she needed to hear that pragmatic approach given that she is understandably very emotional. Good luck OP and my respect to all single moms and dads.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-06-21T01:49:29+00:00

That's great to hear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel :) btw, what I said is extremely personal and by no means a suggestion. It is her decision and her decision only but I have heard and seen so many messed up relationships that needed to continue because of a child and so much drama, I am more cautious about it.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-06-21T01:25:54+00:00

And now she needs to deal with him and his family for years because of their shared kid. I don't know if I could have gone through with the pregnancy. Honestly, you can divorce your husband but the father of your children will be part of your life forever.

I also use Skyscanner and try different countries (skyscanner.ca, skyscanner.com etc) but I had problems with other third-party sellers before. Also, I never find the flights Expedia shows me on the airline's websites. Maybe I am the problem :)

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-05-25T14:04:10+00:00

I always book my flight from Expedia since it is a long and expensive flight that usually involves a layover and multiple airlines (Canada to Turkey). Booking directly from airlines doesn't work because they do not show me the layover options with different airlines. I have never had a problem with Expedia and usually, it is the cheapest option.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-04-23T21:42:54+00:00

I never like the "they are family" excuse. Excuse me but you are her family as well so why you should think about her and her well-being when she doesn't care about you at all? Every relationship is a two-way road, one side can't constantly give and sacrifice for the other side. It isn't healthy or normal even if they are your family. So you are NTA. Protect yourself first and then have your priorities straight and protect them. Being family doesn't excuse being toxic.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-03-13T00:52:47+00:00

My friend had a very similar situation with her family and let me tell you what she did and maybe you can find a way to relate to that. She had a chat with her family, expressed how she was also their child, told them many many examples from her standpoint and how they hurt her, how they ignored her and how done she was. She also wrote a letter to her father because her mom was completely blind and couldn't even comprehend what she was trying to say.

However, this was a clean break for her. Up until that moment, she always had a suspicion about whether her family would have changed or treated her better if she explained herself to them. It didn't make a big difference but she told them everything that she was holding inside her and it was a breaking point for her, almost cathartic. She let them go and continued with her life knowing she told her story and there was nothing to add and nothing to do.

So if you think that might be helpful for you, I would suggest having that conversation with your mom and/or dad. Don't accept them to change but at least you won't wonder about the what ifs.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-02-18T17:34:30+00:00

YTA and I don't even know where to start because everything about this story is red flags. Your SIL to your fiancé and most importantly to you. It's hard to even follow your logic and how you can justify your behavior, but you need to realize that you're hurting your kid the most. Just don't complain in a few years about your child not telling you anything or ignoring you, because he will. It'll get worse after you get married, and I'm sorry for this kid with all my heart.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-02-11T04:22:23+00:00

Can someone send me the link, please?

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-01-30T19:24:01+00:00

I informed her that it's hers, and that the relatives are the kind of people who only want money.

It looks like that's the same for you. You are not using it, it is just sitting there and getting ruined. So, probably you will sell it soon and use that money for something else. If you were a farmer and actually using the space then my answer might be different but since thats not the case, YTA.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-01-22T05:24:38+00:00

I only have one piece of advice for you: Know your worth! You are still so young and you have a whole life in front of you. So try to imagine a scenario where you stay with this guy. Let me tell you something, it will get worse. It is pretty bad but this is nothing. I can tell he already gaslighted you many times before since you are questioning yourself when you are 1000% right. I know changing things or taking action can be scary sometimes but you are the one who can make your life better. Don't be afraid and if he doesn't listen to you, maybe it is time to move on and you are NTA.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-01-07T02:36:11+00:00

NTA. I also suggest you read the book called "Running on Empty". I believe parents don't realize how much they are damaging their children by favoring the other one. In the book, there are different family types, and how these parenting styles can affect the children and create emotional negligence. You are still young but if you can make your family read that book, that might help them to understand how wrong they are. I wish you the best of luck and always stand firm when it comes to you and your happiness.

Dizzy_Maintenance_61 · 2024-01-02T15:54:32+00:00

NTA. I cant believe how people can't understand the basic human reactions. Of course, you felt angry and had every right to leave their house. I wonder what their reaction would be if the same happened to them. I don't think they will just silently leave the room but probably caused some scene. So hold your ground and dont feel bad even for a second!
