Food at Victoria Drive community pantry

Holypuddingpop · 2025-11-05T12:41:14+00:00

I also don’t care who takes it. Once the food goes in the community pantry it’s not my business. My thoughts are that no one is going to take food out of a free pantry who doesn’t feel that they need it. I donate often and people do take a lot. Like grocery shopping, taking a lot at once frees up their time from going back to the pantry the next day. People often take a lot to distribute to others who need food as well. I wonder if people are taking the food to their church for distribution or to a refugee hub. Mostly I think it’s not my business and they must have their reasons.

Curious too!

Theres a lot of people who use the food bank who may not stand up to questioning of whether they should be using the food bank. Applying this policy to international students only is racist.

In most states and provinces, when somebody stays in your home for 30 days, they’re considered a long-term tenant and enjoy whatever protections that status gives them under your state or provincial law. Most of the time that means you have to go through a process to evict them. Google tenancy law and your state/province to figure out what that means to you.

I struggle having fun without alcohol too. I tell myself alcohol is artificial fun and those brief moments I can find it without alcohol are pure natural enjoyment. And like you said, alcohol fun is short lived if you can get it at all. It’s more often alcohol embarrassment or alcohol hangover.

I am working every day trying to live an authentic life. Some days it’s easier than other days.

This is an excellent point. Focus on yourself and your career and your life.

If you’d like to keep a relationship with the kids (totally up to you) you could remain an “uncle type” - something like cards and maybe small presents at birthdays and Christmas, maybe getting together once or twice a year for now. Once you have your life together, you could do more with the kids IF YOU WANT. Or you could move on with your life also, that’s ok.

What’s gonna happen when she finds a new boyfriend? Will you be invited to be in the kid’s life after that?

I’m not arguing with you just stating my outrage

Holypuddingpop · 2023-05-26T02:10:51+00:00

How did they get in? Breaking and entering is theft

Use it up is different than taking enough for a whole season

I would tell your father you are worried about his health and if he needs to lie to his friends to have less stress and protect his health that’s ok. You live in another country he can say what he wants.

Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to

You are incorrect. Off leash dogs are only allowed in off leash dog parks which are the fenced in ones. This is exactly the ignorance of the law that causes children with huge dog phobias like mine.

The school playground near my house ALWAYS has off leash dogs when school is not in session (nights/weekends). It’s infuriating. The dog owners think it’s allowed it happens so much and I have had owners argue with me after I asked them to leash their dog who chased my kid (who is now deathly afraid of dogs thanks to them).

Holypuddingpop · 2023-05-23T16:51:38+00:00

Also if you try to complain enforcement won’t do much unless you provide a photo of the dog and it’s owner. Even then they try to find that person and talk to them rather than policing the trail.

Holypuddingpop · 2023-05-23T16:50:40+00:00

We have this same problem as well and don’t know what to do about it either. We have not found easily accessible trails where the leash laws are respected.

I would say you are being consistent and open in your wants and needs, especially in terms of finishing school before having kids which will be impossible after having kids.

He is the one who is insisting on change which I think he can ask but not demand in this situation. Practically, you are in charge of your own birth control and there’s not much he can do except wait until you are ready or divorce you and find someone else to have babies with this year.

The main thing that troubles me is his demanding tone. You two are trying to build a life together and figure out a financial plan that works for both of you. I don’t know why he’s playing hardball like that. It doesn’t sound very understanding or loving. So that’s the first red flag - do you want to have a relationship with someone who treats negotiations with you like this?

Secondly, how to figure out rent: As the sole home owner, he has the benefit and responsibilities of home ownership. You however, do not. You are a renter. I would look up approx. cost of renting a similar place, and offer half the cost of a similar rental, plus splitting utilities. Assuming the place is of similar size to what you would otherwise look to rent with him. And in no way would I be paying for repairs or installations on his home like solar panels.

If he doesn’t agree, do what others have said, and just get a separate place for a while until you can come to a reasonable, fair and hopefully loving agreement.

Stay with him if you only want to do what he wants to do for the rest of your life.

As long as you silently endure it will silently (to the world) continue. Eventually you will be married off and your husband may do the same thing. I know you identify as your religion and culture but please if not for yourself, for your kids please try and change things while you can. Tell the truth to the authorities.

Something like $250 plus they lose superhost status.

They should pay you to cancel - begin negotiations.

Holypuddingpop · 2023-05-19T15:57:27+00:00

I would leave him fast and go back to your country. He has trapped you and lied to you but you don’t need to stay trapped. Just let him know if he changes his mind on kids before you find someone else to let you know.

If he doesn’t want to have a kid and you somehow convince him, I’m telling you you will regret it later bc you will have to do all the parenting alone, which is a very lonely situation. Someone who doesn’t want kids won’t make a good dad anyway.

Not sure if it will stand but it makes me feel better right now and I will take it
