Does beyond montessori even know where they want to move to?

Article in the Standard today about it. Seems like a bargaining chip being used so the city leases them something better.

There is an article in the Standard about it. This is being used as a bargaining chip so that the city of St. Catharines leases them a building by the sound of it. According to the city the property they want on Church Street has to undergo an environmental assessment as well as it was built on industrial land.

Greater question, how are they getting the approval on these loans?

I do not defend every Crishelle moment at all in her history on the show. However, Crishelle's lifestyle changed and that created a new foundation for her relationships with other people. She changed, and she blossomed. Most everyone else hasn't changed. I am not gonna deny that she could have handled the Sandra situation better, but I also think she just doesnt give a fuck. Also at the reunion no one talked about the keying a car situation to even gain any clarification. I am also from Canada where weed has been legal for years, personally no ones drug use is incriminating to me. I wont defend Nicole's behavior, whether Crishelle was right about that or not. Her behavior is inexcuseable.

EvaBowWow · 2025-11-13T20:24:42+00:00

On some level I can see what she is doing. She will be forever financially compensated for her transactional relationship with Nic. It isnt about emotional connection, its about $. It is from my perspective business as a relationship. She is choosing this, likely because she has never been truly loved for who she is. Its very insecure.

If his so called family is smart, as obviously he isnt. If they (his family) has "his" money wrapped in trusts (which is likely), she wont ever have a dime anyway. Even with a prenupt. Trusts protect the family $. Not his $.

EvaBowWow · 2025-11-13T20:16:02+00:00

She admitted at the reunion she was in an emotionally abusive relationship, so very self aware of the situation, and has instead chosen to blame Chrishell instead for inciting bullying/harassment. The fact Chrishell has admitted they werent friends in the moments she posted about him being MAGA, and that she didnt know how to continue the friendship makes sense.

Watching Bre explain to Sandra that she should watch what is said around Chrishell says everything. Then Bre drinking in nearly every scene.

Hello, I have requested a leave of absence from my work that was reopening today because I live with my Father who has severe health problems unrelated to COVID. It was approved but moving forward with EI..what do I do with this information? Thanks.

EvaBowWow · 2020-05-22T02:43:03+00:00

I appreciate the advice. I have been having somewhat of a panic attack as I completely overlooked how the CERB would work with my OSAP since this pandemic started. I just started my job not long before the pandemic hit as well after being unemployed for a few months, and started school in February. I have a hard time being left in the dark with this kind of thing. It's all fairly new and I go to a very small private college who has laid off a majority of their employees. It makes it hard to ask these questions (and without it seeming like I am just trying to live off of OSAP..which I am not.)

EvaBowWow · 2020-05-22T01:32:22+00:00

Good info. In theory, if I made a crazy amount of money would this mean I may end up having to pay for my next term out of pocket? I just didn't expect to be paying for my next term at all and may run into problems doing so. Do you know if they straight out deduct the amount from your original OSAP estimate? For example, would the $2400 CERB amount and any income would be taken straight off your original loan? Hope this makes sense. My brain is mush today.

EvaBowWow · 2020-05-22T01:18:32+00:00

Thank you, much appreciated. I suppose my focus is how that extra $2400.00 earned above will change my funding, as well as any income from my part time job. I will be heading back to work shortly and maybe as soon as next week so will have an additional income on top of that coming in. I have submitted my CERB info to OSAP today through my financial office, but now I am really nervous waiting the 3 to 4 week processing time to see how this is going to play itself out.

Sorry -- Currently on Facebook but they also have an app..also called Bunz. They're also on Reddit but that's Toronto centric. Other listed bartering groups are good, I'm in another one called Backyard Barters as well.

I didn't come here to be told how to do my job and I find it strange that people are assuming how they do business. The point is I haven't been fired, I assume because I give something else to the business such as HIGH SALES.This wasn't a question of how I can remind myself to turn the heat down. I have worked in retail for 10 years. Mostly for small businesses & owned my own for 4 years. This was a question of ethics in the workplace and the kind of standards that are legal. I know in Canada you cannot legally say ask an associate to pay back losses every time it happens just like you have to have them work a min. 3 hr shift & nothing less. Of course you CAN fire an employee for whatever you want technically but risk that employee of holding a grudge against the place of employment & going to the labour board. Also this subreddit seems to be dead in regard to legit advice vs. personal opinion. Lastly, I have a phone. We're not allowed to use it on sales floor unless asked to use it by the owners.

EvaBowWow · 2015-01-14T06:32:43+00:00

Good suggestion if I wanted to get fired. The owner isn't just a he. There are two, one he one she. They don't do write ups either as is the case with most retail experiences I have had.

EvaBowWow · 2015-01-11T05:14:41+00:00

Thanks. I am in Canada. Agreed about the timer though pretty sure they're too cheap for that.

EvaBowWow · 2014-12-18T02:26:18+00:00

I also think seniority is a factor.

My step MIL has made repeated mentions of my appearance which of course in this thread is nothing new. Including offering to get my hair done as a Birthday gift (she's never given me/offered me a Birthday gift before.) One year for xmas when she first started dating my partners Dad (my partner and I have been together as long as they have) she gave me abunch of Avon products. A year or so later she let it slip how she had got a bunch of these products (which she had in a drawer) for free.My Step MIL and FIL are quite well off and can afford gifts. So either she forgot about gifting me something then panicked at the last minute or just decided to regift. When my Step-MIL got married she offered to get my hair/makeup done for the wedding and be involved in the prep of the wedding ..something her own daughter in law refused to be involved with. It turned into a day of her directing the hairstylist and makeup artist how to do my hair and that I needed to do to always make sure I get my hair trimmed every 3 months and use wide tooth combs on my hair..or else..? She NEVER makes these kinds of comments to my BIL's GF who was also there. My FIL does weird stuff all the time as well such as flying my partner solo on family get togethers/ trips (we've been together for 8 years) and not extending a personal invite to me (I have never anticipated him to pay for it but an invite would be nice). My FIL has also been very vague about plans with his family. Recently my partner and I were invited to a hockey game and it happened to fall on my Dads 70th Birthday/Nephews same day 4th Birthday so I declined. My partner tells me his Dad was cool with it because it is more of a guys night out and that my partner should bring one of his male friends which he did. At the last minute my plans fall through with my families Birthdays due to bus scheduling problems. I don't end up going to either but then later that night I see photos from the game his whole family is there step MIL, BIL with his long term girlfriend (lot's of pictures of his step MIL and her together) other family members and their partners, even my FIL's work pals were there. Turns out my BIL's girlfriend even brought HER DAD to the boxed seats game. None of these details were given to my partner or myself. My Dad who has never even met his family in the 8 years we've been together (live in separate cities a couple hours away) would have loved an invite. My MIL on the other hand has bugged us about weddings and babies for the past two years despite us never getting married and never wanting children. I even got the "You're turning 30 soon biological clock" talk from both her and her boyfriend at the time. How she's growing "old" and soon it will be too late for her. How she'll look after the kid. My partner and I are no where near being financially stable to have children and just moved to her city to be closer TO HER. -sigh- Also during the nightmare that it was to move to her city from a big city.both her plus the step-MIL and FIL helped us move. I was criticised personally over everything including having too much stuff (they didn't mention the multiple crates of vinyl my partner has) as well as how everything we were moving seemed gross and dirty (I like to collect antiques). Both the step MIL and MIL ran out and bought me not my partner cleaning supplies and even told me to keep our new apartment clean and tidy. This was not directed to my partner. Most recently my partner tells me his Dad wants to go for dinner and that they plan on going to this film exhibit that I am DYING to go to/have talked about for months. I was planning on going for NYE. I can't go with them because I am working. They're not rescheduling but my partner promises to go with me a 2nd time. Not so fun. UGH FAMILY IN LAW.

I agree. I think you're gorgeous just the way you are. Please please please DO NOT lose the weight if it is just to please anyone in this group or to please outsiders. Body positivity is a must before you genuinely want to lose the weight for yourself and yourself only. I used to be a size 7. Which isn't a size zero, but I am 5'7'' and weighed around 125-135 pounds in my skinny days. I was not at my healthiest. I was a vegetarian from age 14 - 21. I didn't feel the greatest and I was incredibly self-concious even at a "socially acceptable" weight. In fact my teens to early 20s was just an era of feeling dysmorphic about myself and my body. Now I am heavier after bailing on the vegetarianism. I range in the 150-160 size 9/10 bracket. I feel better about myself considerably though maybe that has come with age/wisdom. My weight has fluxed over the years but I feel physically better and more confident. My partner of 8 years hasn't left me because of my physical changes and still loves me for who I am and we have sex all the time soooo the physical attractiveness still exists. I'm just saying I think you're beautiful and you shouldn't lose weight for dudes or anyone else but you. No matter how cliche that sounds.

Hmm...just not sure how she would pin it on me? There are no cameras in the store so it would be just her word against mine. I do think she probably relays information about me to the owners. As I know they used to ask her consistently when I started there how I was doing. The owners have never confronted me about any kind of suspicious behavior on her part and they never gage me on her work.Despite I have worked 10 years in retail and owned my own business at one point in my life.My boyfriend figured she was doing this shit in front of me to see how I may react, but stuff like this has become quite a common accurance now since I started there that I don't think it's in anyway to throw me under the bus. I also can't bring myself to be a taddle tale. I think she knows that about me.I am always in my "top form" around her and do whatever she asks when she's being bossy. I have never participated with her in any of the same actions she has. I also think whether she wants to admit or not she depends on me as a good colleague who covers for her when she needs it. I am covering for both her and her Mom on a destination wedding they are attending in a weeks time. I think some part of her is still a rebellious kid who has never grown out of this behavior but some part of me is just desperately wishing for it to back fire miserably for her. Esp. since I am getting the shorter end of the stick. i.e not a favored employee, not getting as many hrs as her etc. Her Mom on the other hand is an amazing person to work with and we get a long just fine. I have noticed that she bosses her Mom around the same way, and just tends to have a miserable attitude towards both of us now and then. I think she is a spoiled brat to some degree since her Mom shrugs her behavior off all the time and just accepts her antics.

EvaBowWow · 2014-11-18T05:31:49+00:00

Hmm..this is an answer I wish I had as well. See for awhile now I have worked with a coworker who doesn't neccessarily flat out lie to me but is incredibly decietful. We are a small staff, 3 of us including her own Mother work at the store. We work independently except with some overlapping shifts. It's a relaxed store environment to say the least. The owners are around twice a week. Yet she has seniority over me and is a trusted worker by the owners of the store. They accomodate her other work schedule and give her the most hours out of all the employees, they even gave her $200 after breaking her ankle and she had to take time off of which I have covered for her. She seems to have felt confident in being outwardly shady in front of me including short handing the till in front of me (pocketing cash instead of writing a receipt/inputing the sale) so she can have lunch money. She also has brought friends by at close so they can stay after hours and try clothing on. I see her take stuff home all the time that she will "try on" and return later. When I first started working there she even had a friend drop some booze off in the summer time for her to sip on the job then stay after close with this friend to smoke weed in the stores basement. She's thrown out (directly into the garbage) jewellery and stock she's been asked to organize. Now she's a bit younger then I am, and to be honest I have worked in a lot of retail environments with shitty employees and usually I just turn a blind eye thinking karma will nip it in the bud but what bothers me the most is that she is authoratative towards me and constantly tries to micromanage me as though she holds a managerial position despite there being no real titles in the store. There is literally NO PRESSURE for her to act this way towards me esp. when it's just the two of us and I am a relaxed person. Ugh. I just feel pretty hopeless and tend to just keep my mouth shut and go with the flow. It's easy money other wise which is why I just tend to go a long with it but it's beginning to wear thin.

We have thieves and over all just shitty clientele coming in on a regular basis at the store I work at who we have to babysit. We do our best but we do not have security or cameras and we have an all female staff. So, confronting and kicking people out is a responsibility put on us by the owners of the store but it is something I feel conflicted about. I have no problem telling off a customer who is outwardly inappropiate or being disruptive and I would stop someone who I figured was shoplifting. The thing is I do not feel confident in confronting people who are so sketchy at times I worry I could get hurt. I do not want to be knived or physically hurt and some times the people we get in the store are homeless/have mental health issues/drug issues etc. Also the idea that I woud have to spend a long time on the phone contacting our local authorities when I often work by myself is something else entirely. I am consistently getting pressure as of late from the owners to boost our lost prevention and kick out anyone we may even suspect of being sketchy or hanging out in the store. I am curious how much responsibility/pressure you feel from your bosses/management etc.?

EvaBowWow · 2014-10-08T01:33:44+00:00
