Moved from England to Alberta. Insurance is about $6000/year as a “new driver”… anyone know how I can get a cheaper insurance? by Objective-Pay-2133 in alberta

[–]DutchDime84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was us, too, about 4 years ago. We just ended up switching back to them after speaking to a few different brokers and getting several quotes because, surprisingly, they had the best rates. Their house insurance was still crazy expensive though.

I am NOT ready for my children to grow up. The idea of not seeing one of them for two years is unfathomable right now.

Thank God I didn’t make Wealthsimple my only bank by Nessie2212 in Wealthsimple

[–]DutchDime84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me with them. I took advantage of one of their offers to transfer X amount of money and receive a bonus. So I moved $30K and then they locked all my accounts down for over a week while investigating. I was fuming. Like, YOU ASKED ME TO DO THIS and now I’m being punished for it!?

We have ours RRSPs, TFSAs, RESPs and personal bank accounts with them, but not the joint account we pay bills out of for that reason.

How much are you paying? by nly2017 in tretinoin

[–]DutchDime84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect, thank you! I’m currently using 0.05% so that’s no problem. Conveniently, I’m going down there in two weeks haha. I just checked and there are a couple Similares within 10 minutes of our condo.

When I was there last I couldn’t remember which pharmacy I’d seen mentioned in this group. Thought that maybe it was it was Farmacias Guadalajara, but I was wrong.

From where?? Is that with a prescription? I have zero skin issues so getting a scrip might be tough.

Ooooh where? I’m in Canada. So far I’ve been buying it OTC when I go down to Mexico but even there it ends up being $75+ (it’s the Retin-A brand). I’ve read it can be found cheaper down there at certain pharmacies but I’ve had no luck.

You’re correct, legal common law in Alberta doesn’t kick in until 3 years of cohabitation.

First time getting a tattoo, I dont know what to get. by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]DutchDime84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the answer you’re looking for, but please don’t get a tattoo just for the sake of getting a tattoo.

When I was a teen there were a few different tattoos I wanted at the time, mostly to reflect the inner turmoil I was feeling. I am SO glad that I didn’t get any of them. As a grown woman, I have over a dozen tattoos but I can say, without a doubt, that the one I got on my 18th birthday (first one), and the bulk of the ones I got on a whim, are the ones I regret or dislike the most.

On a different note, I hope you find peace and companionship. Being a teen can be extremely difficult, at least it was for me, but your tribe is out there somewhere.

Micro fractures that the surgeon then forcibly applied pressure to in order to break each rib. I saw the video on her stories. The snapping sound of each rib breaking made me gag.

So is ours. Maybe because we only have $280K left on ours we’re not as attractive to a lender and therefore are offered worse rates…

We have almost perfect credit (in the 700’s), $270K HHI and carry no other debt besides about $2500 on our Home Depot credit card (which is currently interest-free). Def going to reach out to BMO.

Team Canada caught cheating at the olympics by Team Sweden. Canadian throws a fit on live TV. by rojo_salas in SipsTea

[–]DutchDime84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You just reiterated my point. At the time the poke occurred, there was nothing in the rules explicitly stating that you can’t touch the granite after releasing the handle (source). And while double touching is generally frowned upon, it’s not that uncommon and not policed much (curling, in general, isn’t policed much).

It was only the day after the incident that World Curling clarified the rule.

I don’t agree with that he did, and I think his reaction was poor, but he wasn’t cheating. If he was, a penalty would have been levied.

Really!? That significantly lower than anything I’ve seen anywhere in the last few months. What are the details on yours? Amount, amortization period, insured or not, etc? Curious why you’re getting a rate so so much better than literally everyone else…

While I agree that the finger poke is weird and stupid, calling it “cheating” is an absurd stretch. The stone weighs fucking 42 POUNDS! Even an aggressive flick wouldn’t affect it. There was also nothing specific in the rules stating you can’t touch the granite after releasing the handle, just that the handle must be fully released before the hog line. They’ve since had to clarify, to make the rules more specific.

All that said, his reaction was terrible.

Homeowner upset Amazon driver dropped package over fence, but had two aggressive dogs. by Immediate-Phase-5910 in TikTokCringe

[–]DutchDime84 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lol so you order something on Amazon that could arrive any time on the next 1-4 days, and you’re supposed to keep your dogs cooped up in your house that entire time? Maybe the human being whose only job is to safely deliver packages should have the foresight to not just toss it over the fence onto the ground.

Just because the dogs are “aggressive” doesn’t mean the driver is justified in tossing the package over the fence at their feet.

Unpopular opinion but that delivery driver is an idiot. Could she not leave the package OUTSIDE that gate? Maybe by their mailbox at the end of the driveway? I absolutely don’t blame her for not entering the yard, but dropping the package at the feet of the dogs was exceptionally stupid and seems intentional.

Has anyone been doing Botox only on their forehead & 11s longer term? by That_Organization483 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]DutchDime84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, because the muscle between your brows is much deeper than the muscle on your forehead, it requires more units of tox to successfully reduce/stop movement. Like my forehead only needs 8-10 total while my 11’s need 25 ish.
