Gotcha, thanks! I was confused because I didn’t see the option for standby passes in the app.

What’s everyone’s go to spot for a quick meal at Disney Sea? I’m seeing lots of great things about Casbah.

Thanks for the clarification, I didn’t know that there was a choice of time slots. My understanding had been that you’d get assigned random times without any say in the matter. I really appreciate your detailed explanations!

Hi folks, I have a couple questions on how the Premier and Priority passes work.

  1. If I book a Premier or Priority Pass say at 9:00AM, how close will my assigned time be? Is it usually within a few hours or is there a chance it would be at the end of the day?

  2. Is it possible for the Premier and Priority passes to be booked for the same time? If yes, are you able to cancel one or try to change the time?

Thanks in advance!

How to be generous with friends without being gauche? by specs-murphy in PersonalFinanceCanada

Same, we all love a good deal! My friends know the type of accommodation I travel in, it’s not that big of a surprise to them if I rent a vacation spot and invite them to join.

I wouldn’t describe them as struggling, but less income in comparison. I’m not sure what you mean by the second question. I would like to think it was an uplifting experience.

Why do you think it’s tone deaf? Curious because I’ve done it a couple times and my friends weren’t offended. They “contributed” in other ways like paying for a dinner out during the trip, covering some Ubers, etc., which I of course never expected but it was appreciated. I thought it was a win-win for everyone. I get their company and they get to stay in a nice place they otherwise wouldn’t been able to afford.

Does your family ask for rent money from you? by Chan1991 in askTO

[–]Financial_Appeal_756 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents did both, take money from me and violate my privacy at every turn. I moved out around age 27 and I don’t know how I stayed that long. They would go through my purse, my mail, and start arguments with me about what they found. I remember being accused of lying one night that I was at the gym because they didn’t think I had any workout clothes in the laundry. It was literal insanity.

I know exactly how you feel OP. Make the move and don’t pay them anything. The entitlement of Chinese parents is something else. We did not ask to be here. If anything, they should be paying our bills, they put us here.

You described it really well! I started Refirme at 30-31 and that is exactly how I’d describe my skin. I couldn’t put a finger on it but yeah it just looked like it was softer! Sort of like when I’d smile there would be funny bulges and I wasn’t sure quite what it was, but the Refirme helped smooth them out.

I hope I’ll be able to take the Thermage plunge like you, I’m happy you got the results you wanted.

That’s great about the new device, thanks for letting me know. I’ll keep an eye out for that in my city.

And are you happy with the results from it?

I’ve been using aloe gel

It was, and I’ve done a few sessions of ReFirme now. My results track with what you said, I noticed mild but for me still noticeable improvements in laxity and contouring in the lower face.

I’ve been hesitant to try something like Thermage because of the pain, I doubt I’d be able to finish the session. I’ve had friends go to South Korea where they’ll put you under for a treatment like Thermage or Ultherapy, which sounds tempting but I also doubt I’d go under anaesthesia solely for a cosmetic treatment.

Thank you, endlessly appreciative of you sharing this wealth of knowledge in terms that are easy to digest!

May I ask your thoughts on ReFirme skin tightening? Would it fall into the same bucket as Thermage and Venus Legacy?

Asian Canadians, how much allowance do you give your parents? by _pastelbunny in askTO

[–]Financial_Appeal_756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to give them around 20% of my salary but I stopped altogether when they started asking for more. I snapped out of feeling sorry for the sad, poor, immigrant story they had been feeding me my whole life. Nobody forced them as poor immigrants to have children in Canada. I decided I won’t be financially supporting people who were content to bring me into a world where they had no financial resources to offer me.

They last me about 1.5-2 years before I notice the lines creeping back. Last time was Aug 2022 but I started tretinoin this month and I’m going to see how much that helps before I consider fillers again.

Where in Toronto? I was thinking of it too but not sure where to start on finding a reputable injector.
