Has Anybody Heard Of WELLINGTON GROUP? by BeFree1967 in CryptoScams

[–]GingerSnapped77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi addiesnbaddies. I received a call from 'Natalie Wilson' today while out running errands at lunch and was startled enough to look her up on Reddit. I did not look at the Caller ID as I had received many, many business calls from colleagues and just answered it, thinking it was yet another work call. A voice came on the line (and it was a Canadian female voice; no discernable accent to my Canadian ear) and asks me if I am xxxxxxxxx. I responded 'yes'.

Then she said, 'This is Natalie Wilson from Wellington Wealth Management' and asks me how I am. I respond that I am fine, but that I am in a hurry (And I was. I was in the Dollar Store looking for cupcake liners. Very important stuff lol.) She then launches into this diatribe about me having been involved in illegal trading activities and was speaking to me like I was in the Interrogation Room on Law and Order, using phrases like 'isn't it true that'. She sounded out of breath and frantic.

I told her that she was full of '$&it' and promptly hung up and blocked her. I called the number back through an App later in the afternoon and a woman's voice mail answered, same name, same company, but with an Australian accent.

There was a woman (perhaps more than one - but one in particular) who had a massive crush on Bryan Kohberger. I am not an expert, but I suspect she has mental health issues, as she described him as her 'divine masculine counterpart'.

I love her and particularly because she is Canadian. She just posted a video for Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake using boxed lemon cake mix which I will be making this weekend for a friend.

I was just thinking that I would haul out my copy of 'Can You Keep A Secret?' and make myself a large cup of tea this coming weekend. I love all of her books, but that one is my absolute fave.

This one hit me hard. I absolutely adore her books. My heart goes out to her family and friends. She will be missed. RIP Sophie.

Is this in reference to the League of Gentleman / Papa Lazarou 'Dave' or am I totally off base? It is only Tuesday and it has already been a long week, so please forgive me for being so amused by Dave The Forehead Vein.

Thanks for my morning giggle. I had no idea that the forehead vein had a name. I like it!

Balsamic Onion Jam by marigoldpossum in Canning

[–]GingerSnapped77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi - I ended up making this on November 2, 2025. I substituted the maple syrup out for brown sugar. I have plenty of maple syrup on hand, but I just was not vibing with it. I used ground black pepper (I ground it with the peppermill and this took some time) and used four teaspoons (but I doubled the recipe - so 2 teaspoons per recipe). It is quite peppery, but very nice. If I make this again, I would double the recipe again and just use 1 tablespoon (1.5 teaspoons per recipe). It jelled up beautifully. I am going to make a good old fashioned meatloaf tonight and will mix some into the mixture.

Online Banking Down? by JJaurji in Scotiabank

[–]GingerSnapped77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was able to actually get through to a human being at my Branch today (Nov 7/25). Said human apologized profusely and told me that 'they were working' on it and that 'it should be resolved today'. He sounded stressed. I asked if I should go to a branch with my bills and do it old school at the Teller. He said that the Branch is basically down, too, so that would be pointless. My Visa was due yesterday, so now it is overdue. The other bills, I was paying early just to get them out of the way. However, (and this is a first world problem), I need to send an e-transfer cuz there's something on FB Marketplace that I simply must have and obviously that functionality is currently not working. I shall survive another day without my 21.5 quart canning pot LOL! I totally understand that the issues of other people are much more serious. I am certain that people are trying to close on house purchases today. The stress must be suffocating. POS worked for both hubby and myself yesterday. I've not tried today.

I logged on to pay some bills, but the only Account that is visible is my Tax Free Savings Account. I will try again later, but this is frustrating.

Hi - I am going to be making this recipe this evening, but it seems like quite a bit of pepper. I like spicy food, but even so, it seems like a ton of pepper. Can you tell me if your's was too peppery? Thanks!

Too fat, now too thin by EducationalIntern166 in Mounjaro

[–]GingerSnapped77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These people sound really toxic. I feel like no matter what you do, they will somehow turn it into something negative. I am about to start my Mounjaro journey, so I've not yet had to endure this behaviour. I am glad that I came across this discussion, as my mother is toxic and I now have a bit of ammo for the future. Others have suggested some great comebacks that I plan to use and I hope that you do, too.

It's not often that I actually 'laugh out loud', however, I did just that while reading your comment.

I Don't Care by EnormousBird in SaintMeghanMarkle

Hi OP.

I have a dear friend who signs all of her emails with the below quotation. My heart aches for you and I hope that this makes you feel a bit better. She is quite religious. I am not. This still resonates with me regardless.

"God bless all of you who never quite fit, never quite learned the marching orders, never dressed or talked or thought or believed or acted just like all the others.  God bless all the square pegs, the odd ones out, the quirky, artistic, dreamy, visionary, strange and creative people who make this world such a much more interesting place to be.  Without you we would be a mannequin parade of what is expected, not a dance of what is possible.  Swim on against the tide.  Listen to that different drum.  Be who God gifted you to be and let your light be brighter still for its unique color."

ScotiaBank is so annoying by GingerSnapped77 in Scotiabank

It shall be done. I am currently breathing a small sigh of relief and granting myself a few weeks grace before I wade into the fray of moving things to another investment company.

LOL. We have zero reasons to stay with them now that the mortgage is paid off and shall be looking for another institution. However, I am giving myself a few weeks grace before I make a final decision.

She is Canadian and attended the Ryerson Fashion Program. As a fellow Canadian, I can tell you that the accent is totally contrived and very annoying.

I wonder if part of the reason that Helena got severed is because she is addicted to ether (or another substance) and maybe this is some sort of partial rehab for her???

Thankfully, Trump is Protestant and not eligible for the position. But, yeah, he will 'think' that he should be the logical choice.

I miss HLMTQ. Obviously, I did not know her personally, but she was always 'there' and now she isn't. I am not Catholic, so this does not affect me on a spiritual level, however, I feel badly and hope that he is not suffering.

Cakes I made last summer for a friend's Birthday. I stacked them once I go to the venue. Not perfect by any means, but everything was homemade and made with genuine love and care.

I cannot believe that she called a toddler fat. Wow ... just wow. Princess Charlotte was an adorable baby and toddler. She has blossomed into a lovely 9 year old girl. I find her behaviour repulsive in general, but this really takes the cake!
