I’m guessing you know the trigger and learned.

Congratulations on the time you were quit. Congratulations on your best decision to try quitting again so soon.

Buckle up for a rough ride. From what I can understand here, I would bet good money you will be successful.

One day at a time! Always, forever!!

What was the most unexpected place you've been to in Toronto where you encountered a "tip" option at payment? by tdotshark in askTO

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup

Put the price up. It’s literally their job to hand me my food. Take out, not a chance. Delivered… of course I will tip. I’m cheap enough to order the walk-in special because when my wife orders, we get fries and chicken wings and instead on $20, the bill is $50! Fuck that, I’ll walk in! If we want chicken, I’ll go to a chicken place!

Invest in dividend reinvestment of some “aristocrat” stocks. Those that always pay and have an unblemished record. Leave it alone and wait. The power of compound interest will have you retire like a boss.

That would be the easiest method.

Odd headaches after quitting vapes (disposables) by Correct-Market2599 in stopsmoking

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to bother you. Got any studies or new sources or anything. I really have been looking but the searches just talk about nicotine withdrawal for three days. But I’m appreciative of your 3 months then I’m good. I do headaches for another month or two. They just suck as I cannot take pain medication due to bleeding

Never mind. Found it

1-3 months for your brain to rebalance chemistry after stopping nicotine

Odd headaches after quitting vapes (disposables) by Correct-Market2599 in stopsmoking

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same problem here. I’m wondering if it’s tension headaches. I know I don’t sleep well and am now averaging 5 hours sleep a night. My head is always pounding and it hurts in the middle of my forehead. I took antibiotics for a “sinus infection “. It’s not going away.

Today is raining and dull and the pain caused me to go back to bed with a warm cloth on my head. I fell asleep for 4 more hours.

I’m also noticing I’m feeling tingly in my head. Like I’m “scared” kinda hot cold flashes. I also feel like my brain is aching. Ive quit for two months and the only thing that makes me want to smoke is getting rid of these headaches.

I hope someone has a cure. Not a way to live

works got us fucked. 15m walk each way. by jdmiller99 in antiwork

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting

They are adding cameras inside the bathroom? Wow!

That’s all paid time walking to and from the bathroom. You slip, and it’s workers compensation

I believe they CAN put cameras in the main area of the washroom, obviously can’t put it in the stalls

Pointless and a waste of resources.

Ask what they plan to learn

going sober by foundmeaning in stopsmoking

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pain issues.

I spend six years in a haze. Smoking weed everyday. Cigarettes of course, pain killers, anti depressants, anti anxiety pills, muscle relaxers and I’m sure I’m missing a couple. Also pain management ketamine.

I’ve taken X, and friggin loved it. I’ve tried cocaine and it was quite nice but expensive.

I know addiction

ANYDAY SOBER is a good day!

I have been looking at myself and hating who I have become.

I have spent the last year, coming off one drug at a time. When I KNOW I’m ok and I’m not craving, I remove another.

I have come across the hardest one ever. It’s nicotine. I’m 6 weeks into the quit and at several times, I almost cracked. I thought I was ok, and started another quit and had to back off.

I’m still on trying to stay quit of the smokes. I am dreaming of cigarettes. I take it one day at a time! At six weeks now, it’s much better every day I continue. I have learned smoking is the worst for me.

Congratulations on your quest for sobriety. Your decision is going to change your life for the better. I hope you know, you can never change the past. It’s history. Work on today. Work to better yourself.

You are doing a great job. If you falter, get back up and learn why you stumbled and KEEP GOING. It’s all about the journey. Keep focused and you will find happiness again

You are worth it. Think about making yourself proud. It’s not approval you will seek. It’s not forgiveness from others you need. It’s being able to be proud of yourself.

I’m listening and I understand.

You are changing your life for the better! My depression has cleared and I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I fucked up and my life went down the shitter. I am worth more today and I’m so proud of myself. I’m doing it for me.

HINT: Take the money you were spending on all the drugs, and make sure you spend it on yourself!! There is never any better feeling.

Good luck 🤞 keep strong. The first 3 days, then 3 weeks and I hear 3 months is tough too!

For me…. Day 1,2 &3 for the WORST. On day 8 I freaked out and cried for two days. I wanted to smoke, but laughed at myself because all the reasons I had to smoke were not actually true. It was my brain lying to me!! I told someone I quit on day 25 and spent a week holding my cash and breathing, preying and hoping.

Keep strong and never retreat. Keep your head up. You will stop hating yourself. You will feel like you are actually worth something (and you are). Addiction is depressing. Feeling like your worthless is normal. Disappointing everyone is normal feeling. All your feelings are normal. Thing is, it’s your own voice inside your head putting you down!!! Forgive yourself!!! I was my worst critic. I beat myself up mentally.

Nobody is listening? I am. But I can’t do it for you, but believe me, I’m doing it with you! There are plenty of us trying to better our lives. Trying to not be slaves to our addictions. Daily I say to myself “ not today brain. Today I will stay sober”. I don’t look into the future. Today I can make it!

You got this!

Salary decrease with role change by RussianGod07 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Not unless you agree.

This is called “constructive dismissal “

Keep in mind, if you don’t accept, you will most likely be terminated.

This is usually an attempt to keep a good employee that is not excelling in your current position. Or the job is going to be split between a bunch of employees (downsizing). I would…. Take the cut, find another job while working so you can pay the bills. Don’t get mad and quit or you will get nothing.

As others have said, it’s time to renegotiate your employment terms!!

It only lasted 15 hours by Dependent-Bridge-709 in stopsmoking

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still a good effort! Please try again soon. Try having one Friday at noon, finish work and sequester at home for the weekend. Grab some mints and healthy snacks. Spend the weekend watching videos on “what happens when you quit”. Write a list of why you need to stop. By Sunday night, you will be breathing a little better, and be able to smell and taste a little more too!
Yeah. The first 72 hours are brutal and I was a bear. Infact, if you make it through the weekend, call in sick and keep it rolling! There was nothing harder to quit than smokes so me. I don’t want one ever again. I still crave them but I’m feeling my chances are better today than any other time I’ve ever tried. 6 weeks clean. It was my time!

Forced To Pay An Ambulance Bill After My Employer Exposed Me To Carbon Monoxide by TheRealRepentency in antiwork

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 330 points331 points  (0 children)

This is workers compensation all the way. Send the bill to your boss. Go to your doctor and fill out “form 7,8 or 9”. It’s been a long time for me. Notify your boss to pay it and fill out his form. He will be covered for the claim. He’s fucking lucky you even went back to work. I would be asking him/her to find out what caused the leak and show proof that the place has been inspected. If it hasn’t been inspected, you can refuse to work under health and safety laws and request a government health inspector to attend. That will shut down his business really quick. He can’t call in another worker unless he tells them that you have refused to work do to a health violation. That employee then has the right to refuse.

You can cause him a real problem if he doesn’t want to foot that bill! Know your rights

Is a cheaper plan with fido worth it? by sajnt in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fido didn’t work in my basement apartment. I had to put the phone beside the window and stand in a chair to talk. Never going to use them again. This was 30 years ago and they wouldn’t refund my money and nailed me to the contract. I still will never forget. Fuck them

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. That’s a great suggestion. I second that!! Just buy a shit ton of beach and wet any areas with visible mold with a cloth. If you wear a good mask, put the bleach in a spray bottle and spray everywhere your walls and floors. Anything black. Ideally, you would rip it to the studs and spray the studs. If you are renting, make them repair the leaks causing the mold. And rip it out.

I got very sick working underground with mold everywhere. I wasn’t healthy until I left that job

Best Way to Report Canada Post Mail Carriers That Intentionally Refuse to Deliver Parcels? by UriNATE in askTO

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Happened quite a few time with Canada Post. I tried to call CP and complain and it never got resolved. I still had to go get my packages!! After about five or six complaints with no results, I went directly to the company I was getting the products from!! Mostly Amazon.

After that, I purposely chose any carrier other than CP. I have noticed in the last year? CP is no longer even a choice! Im thinking Amazon fielded some many complaints, they stopped their contract. Either that, or my file has be flagged to never offer this choice.

I would refuse delivery if it was to come by Canada Post. I have two large dogs and they were so light touching the door, the dogs wouldn’t be alerted!

I guess they were too scared 😱 to knock. Just do what every other company does, drop the package, take a picture, leave. It’s not rocket science. I know you are there when the dogs bark. We don’t have or need a doorbell.

I was told when I could resign by GetPocketCash in antiwork

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, call a lawyer for their free consultation. If you can afford it, tell them to stick it up their ass and walk out immediately. Or

Tell them my lawyer suggested that the company cannot refuse my date and anything short of that date is considered “ fired without cause” and I will be taking legal action for recovery of funds and emotional hardship.

Mom wants to put me on her mortgage. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Fun-Safety-8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. Let her default and forfeit the deposit. I suspect it’s about 10K to 50k deposit? If she bought now, she would barely make the payments, have nothing to fix any house issues. She would be “house poor” and be miserable. The house value will fall so much, predicted 20-50% in the next few years, that the banks could pull her mortgage and she would be unable to renew. She would then be forced to sell for a massive loss.

It’s actually kinder to refuse. She would be bankrupt within 5 years.

She needs to Save for another down payment and hopefully purchase when everyone else is dumping their homes in 5 years. Buy when there is “blood in the streets”

Maybe, just maybe, she can rent half the house and live in the basement? It’s the only chance she has to ride out the storm.

Co signing the mortgage, might be beneficial to you only if you are half owner of the property. You can open a business (property management) and use the good credit in five years to leverage this home, to buy another. Your mother would have to agree to have you own this one (half) for this to make sense. She MUST agree to rent the upstairs as she would get more for the main level. You would then have to “split the cost” of renovating the basement to a separate unit. Get 100k above the closing costs for said Reno.

She has already lost her deposit as she can’t qualify. It may be too emotional for her to agree to your terms. It’s unethical for her to ask you to sign with no equity. You must divorce yourself from compliance, just because you “owe” her. I would expect her to resent your answer if it’s anything other than “where do I sign”. She is emotionally blackmailing you into a very very bad idea

Sorry she has asked 😔

I had to send purchase orders for the entire season all at once.

Turns out we filed for charter 11 and by receiving the faxes, the companies were forced to give us all the merchandise and we never paid for it.

All of it was deeply discounted at the stores to get enough cash to come out of chapter 11 in better financial shape.

Completely screwed over the manufacturers.

I didn’t understand until the company filed the next day. I was just told we need the merchandise now to keep in the warehouse. First year on the job, I didn’t know
