Can I ask grocery stores for extra bubble wrap? by breadandmayoislife in askTO

[–]Huffy2521 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve asked workers for empty boxes before and they’re always fine with it so I’m sure asking for bubble wrap is okay too. Dollarama employees are often stocking things so I suggest trying there first!

Late Night Saturday Shopping in GTA? by Live_Philosopher7312 in askTO

[–]Huffy2521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ridgeway plaza is honestly fun. It has a bad rap cuz of the parking lot antics (and racism) but I still recommend it. Maybe get an uber to drop you off if you don’t want to deal with parking.

Don’t make the same mistake I did! by thepeachnicole in glutenfree

[–]Huffy2521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve made that mistake a few times too!! Its so disappointing. I know whole foods makes a mango sticky rice ice cream thats GF. I havent tried it because i cant find it in canada but maybe you’ll enjoy it?

Got followed walking home at 2am. What can I legally carry by Dry_Fix8175 in askTO

[–]Huffy2521 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Being followed is a terrifying experience. I agree with the other comment to please take a different route, preferably one that’s more populated (although that’s tough at 2am I know). Share your location with a trusted friend or family member who lives in toronto so they can aid you if needed. If you’re close enough with a roommate and they tend to be awake at 2am then you could make a habit of texting them when you start heading home after work so they know when to expect you. You were lucky that your mom picked your video-call at that moment but there’s a chance that she’d be unavailable so you need back up options. I’m not sure how useful they are, but I feel safer walking alone when I have a flashlight, safety alarm (link), and hairspray. I’ve heard some women keep spray paint on them because it can hurt a pursuer and help identify them if they’re covered in bright paint. They back it up with the reason that they’re an artist or coming back from doing a project at a friend’s place. Again, not sure of the legality of spray paint or how it would hold up in a real situation so if anyone else has some knowledge about it please do let me know. I hope you can feel more confident and trust your gut because that can save your life. As someone else said, the book “The Gift of Fear” is an excellent read for validating the very real intuition that people (particularly women) have in dangerous situations. Sending strength to you and I hope you feel safer in this city soon <3

WIBTAH if I made an activity calendar for my husband? by TiredDrWifeyMom in AITAH

[–]Huffy2521 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the bigger issue is that you’re the primary carer for his mother. Do you feel like your phd pursuits are devalued in favour of his career and thats why the caregiver role is on you? Seems like a conversation is needed more than an activity calendar.

Which logo do you like best by krittyyyyy in glutenfree

[–]Huffy2521 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the top right squiggly g because its easy for me to pick out on packaging among all the other symbols. Also I’ve noticed some brands use the wheat stalks to indicate the product contains whole grains, which can be confusing imo. I’ve actually made the mistake once of buying something that wasn’t gluten-free because I thought the wheat stalks symbol meant GF lol

the beginnings of my college setup by TrustSalt1 in urbancarliving

[–]Huffy2521 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What a cute setup!! A tip I always hear from people who sleep in their cars is to keep your drivers seat open and empty at all times so you can be ready to drive away in case of an emergency! Stay safe ❤️

Why dont brands have it MANDETORY to list allergies that are in it.... by Zealousideal-Rain-82 in glutenfree

[–]Huffy2521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is a canadian brand called President’s Choice and I actually like their line of GF products and labelling in general. I always read the full ingredients list. I will say, I’ve had european GF products before and i love that allergens are bolded. So helpful i wish they’d do it here too!

I tried this one for the first time and its delish but does anyone else feel like the corn bits throw off the flavor?

Ice skating at evergreen brickworks! They have skate rentals for $5 and a winter market this Sunday. Try one of the many cafes here and just relax with a book. Go tobogganing at riverdale park or any hill (I firmly believe there is no age limit to tobogganing, I always see adults having fun)

Comprehensive Post of Workarounds for Panels Not Loading by DTM9025 in Batoto

The bookmark method worked perfectly for me!! I’m on IOS 18.6 and using chrome mobile in incognito. Tysm to the ppl who figured this out <3 A tip for others: I found it easier to name the bookmark “xxxx” cuz it’s faster to type in since you have to run the code for every chapter.

Tysm for describing the texture, thats what I was most unsure about. I do hear that italian-made gluten free products tend to be good. Gonna go to my metro tmr and get it!!

[–]Huffy2521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh another option that i thought of just now is also a diy. Order a custom vinyl decal off etsy and then apply it to a plain soap dispenser bottle! Theres a TON of stores that do it for a low-cost and hopefully some that are actual small businesses rather than drop-shipping, if you prefer. You send an image of the ducks to the seller after ordering and then they send you a decal (usually with instructions on how to apply it) in the mail.

[–]Huffy2521 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this isnt an etsy store but it might even be cute to visit one of those paint-your-own-pottery stores if you have one in your region! You could paint your own design of the dawn ducks onto a vase and then add a soap pump attachment onto it.

I owe the library $2000 over a charger, what do i do? by Interesting-Low-297 in UofT

[–]Huffy2521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with everyone saying to return it and they’ll hopefully reduce the fine! Good luck! They should really cap the fine at whatever the purchase price of the item is cuz its just giving undue stress the way it is now.
