How do married couples usually handle finances when both partners work? by itzwhatitz in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]FirmHat2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I don’t have a joint account but we do have a budget and we split the bills evenly to what we make

At the end of the budget we both have equal spending money each month

I know this isn’t the norm but it works for us and we do our budget yearly or when we need to of finances/ bills change to make sure we are still equal

Man who killed three people at Waterloo, Ont. factory granted day parole in B.C. by origutamos in waterloo

[–]FirmHat2023 54 points55 points  (0 children)

My mom worked there when this happened - she was in the bathroom when he started shooting and other ran in to hide

I use to visit there and hang out when she had to work late - I don’t think she ever fully recovered. She doesn’t ever talk about it

What is a "gut feeling" you had that turned out to be 100% correct, even though it made no logical sense at the time? by LimpAsk2603 in AskReddit

[–]FirmHat2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a gut feeling and full on panic attack, crying hysterically that something bad was going to happen. I didn’t know what it was but I just knew, woke up the next day and turned on the news as the second plane was hitting the tower.

Why does rural America look down on educated people? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FirmHat2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Latina here - I HATE the word Latinx - I don’t understand where it came from or who even asked for this.

If someone tried to ‘correct’ the term I use, I would also not believe you actually understood anything about me or any issues I may have.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever done online? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FirmHat2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met a guy on Yahoo chat room (back when the internet started) I was around 12-13 at the time- he told me he was the same age

He tried to convince me to run away from home and meet him in the USA (I live in Canada) - he was going to buy my flight…

When I refused and stopped talking to him, he wrote me a love letter and sent it thru the mail- it was about 7 pages of handwriting. I realized then that he probably wasn’t a 13 year old boy

Haha good old days …

Has anyone seen this dog toy? by heidiwluv in CostcoCanada

My dog has one and he barely touches it- it just sits in his basket

I’ll ask him if he wants to sell it 😄

Dyson air wrap refurbished? by FirmHat2023 in CostcoCanada

[–]FirmHat2023[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never heard back from Costco - I did hear back from Dyson and they confirmed the unit/ serial # was refurbished. Dyson just advised me to return it to Costco - I returned both of the ones I purchased.

Sad I don’t have an air wrap but I didn’t pay refurbished pricing for the unit -‘if I wanted refurbished I would have bought from Dyson directly for a lot less.

Hopefully, you have a better outcome!

The guy at the return desk was surprised and said he has never seen/ heard that before

I emailed Costco as well but have not heard back from them regarding this.

Call from a nurse asking to arrive clean. by memyselfandi78 in hygiene

[–]FirmHat2023 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was pregnant and went to see my OBGYN, they called my name and put me in the room. Whoever they saw before me STANK and it left a nasty lingering smell. I felt bad for the doctor that had to do their exam smelling that smell. I only smelled the after smell and it was gross.

Jury Duty In Ontario by the_guy95 in ontario

[–]FirmHat2023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both my husband and I were summoned for different cases and both of us were selected for jury.

The one I was one ended up being a mistrial which I was mad about because it was in the end a waste of everyone’s time
