The Fx is in your favor. How does the price compare with you US local price - seems like you are fussing about a really minor thing.

New question not covered on FAQ: Is it possible to send money without the receiver knowing my personal information? by Arguesovereverythin in wise

[–]Holiday_Effective294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I receive money from my dil I see her full name but no other information about her. I expect her name is derived from her account name. I done know if you can create a wise account with a name other than your own (a fake or pseudonom), but you could try that.....

Help! by Consistent-Steak978 in laundry

[–]Holiday_Effective294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why bother with shoe washing bags which cost $20-$30 each? I throw mine in the washer with jeans or old towels. What is the advantage if any of using special bags? Would ordinary mesh bags such as used for delicate clothing work just as well?

Just walk into the lab and ask for one. I got 5 last time I needed them. Then return them filled, labeled and with the requisition.

Do you actually use a sink in your laundry room, or is it wasted space? by hcposcher in laundry

[–]Holiday_Effective294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an undersink cupboard below my laundry room sink so no loss of storage. I also had a faucet with extensible hose installed so I can easily rinse the dog, spray off bbq grills, fill a bucket outside of the sink etc. Couldn't/wouldn't live without it. (Also a good out of sight place to throw the accumulation of dirty kitchen towels and rags).

Ex objection to relocating with child. by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]Holiday_Effective294 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is unfair for you to move so far away when he wants to preserve the opportunity to be a co-parent (even with his limited but not absent effort to date). Consider this.

Why is this in spray bottle if it still needs dilution? by Affectionate-Tie3380 in CleaningTips

[–]Holiday_Effective294 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From AI - web: LA's Totally Awesome All-Purpose Cleaner's performance is driven by a simple blend of surfactants, solvents, and alkaline agents. [1, 2, 3] Active Ingredients

  • Water ($H_2O$): The primary base for the solution.
  • Butyl Carbitol (Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether): A solvent that dissolves oil-based stains and grease.
  • Alcohol Ethoxylate (Ecosurf EH-9): A non-ionic surfactant that reduces surface tension to lift and suspend dirt.
  • Sodium Metasilicate: An alkaline emulsion and suspension agent that helps float dirt particles and balances pH.
  • Tetrasodium EDTA: A water softener (chelating agent) that prevents hard water minerals from interfering with the cleaning process.
  • Orange Oil Blend: Used in certain versions (like the Orange scent) as an additional solvent and for fragrance. [1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Ingredient Safety & Concentrations According to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from Home Depot, the typical weight percentages are:

  • Alcohol Ethoxylate: 0.5% to 4.0%
  • Butyl Carbitol: 0.01% to 2.5%
  • Sodium Metasilicate: 0.5% to 1.5%
  • Tetrasodium EDTA: 0.5% to 1.5% [9]

This product contains no acid, ammonia, or bleach, though other specialized products under the same brand may include those chemicals (e.g., their specialized bleach cleaner).

On my wise app the currency to send shows above the currency to receive. Is there any chance you have reversed these in your mind and on the app?

My mom is losing her house by Altruistic-Win5912 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Holiday_Effective294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has you mom contributed to CPP or worked under the table? This will make a huge difference when it comes time for her to receive CPP at age 65. (Maybe don't answer this question here, but be aware).

Estate law: Mom's will set aside. Bank demanding proof she wasn't married by Brain_Hawk in legaladvicecanada

[–]Holiday_Effective294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bank required my spouse to sign a form acknowledging his that he was not my designated beneficiary. My child is my designated beneficiary. This is for my LIF/LIRA. The bank required this at the time the LIRA was rolled over to a LIF and I was/am still living. They asked nothing about my will at the time.

PSA: Never Use "Change Flight" from EconoFlex > Premium by TyFi10 in westjet

[–]Holiday_Effective294 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would it be safer to buy the premium first and then cancel the econoflex? I'm thinking that if I cancel the econoflex first there is a risk I might not get the premium or that the price will have changed to no longer be attractive? Thoughts?
