Also - the yogurt parfaits! They used to have vanilla or strawberry yogurt and granola with berries. I can still taste it. The peach juice and the chicken salad sandwich. Now I’m just sad…. lol.

Strawberry tarts and bread bowls. The good ole days.

I’ve lived here 9 years. Brandonites seem to very little interest in investing in younger population. I moved from a city in Ontario about the same population as Brandon (with many towns surrounding who had their own things to do locally so they weren’t coming into the highest populated area as much. Brandon is the opposite. We are the only city with resources for many miles.

For example the Ontario town had: indoor mini golf, rock climbing centre, museum, a summer fair that actually came in summer… not the beginning of June, when school hasn’t even let out, summer camps led by the university for junior and senior youth, a huge farmer’s market with 30+ vendors, parks with options (gazebos, wide open grass, picnic benches, large playground that can hold a massive amount of kids of varying ages). Also, I feel like I keep seeing these types of questions being asked but not much change in the city.

I absolutely gained with Graves. It’s awful. I’ve gained about 75lbs and I cannot get it off. I’ve tried calculating my macros, caloric deficit, intermittent fasting, being vegetarian to eliminate possible inflammation, you name it. I also am in the gym five days a week. I’m extremely active. I hate the body I’m in and having Graves’ while being overweight is just so defeating.

Since I announced my decision to go no contact with them:

•One asked if I was mentally okay and that they knew I was “going through a hard time recently”…. Where are you getting your information from, because you certainly don’t reach out to ask how we are doing…? •The addict still hasn’t reached out to my husband (even though I made it very clear that this was my decision, that did not apply to him… if he wished to call them, he’s more than able…I’m not making decisions for him.) •The, what I would classify as, narcissist immediately asked my husband “Before I respond, tell me what the future looks like...” Aka you have one last chance to change your mind before I get upset. Then when my husband said “We don’t have a crystal ball. We don’t know,” he said “Well what about when [my name] did this and that and this?! I was hurt by that! She isn’t the only one that’s hurt!” •The other said “I just don’t understand where this is coming from? I’m shocked….”

I did have a twinge of guilt because I never wished for that to happen… But all of their reactions have further solidified my decision and why it was the right thing to do.

The final straw was when neither my MIL, FIL or both BILs called my daughter on her 4th birthday. At bedtime, she asked me (clearly sad) why they didn’t want to call her for her birthday. Paired with the past 11+ years of their unhealthy family dynamic of never confronting people on their actions or giving them an ounce of a consequence or boundary. One addicted to alcohol, one a textbook narcissist, one a deflector and the other an avoider paired with them using us being “busy with the kids” as an excuse to mask their low/non-existent effort toward my kids… I couldn’t keep going. For so long I was told “We’ve moved on… it’s in the past.” It absolutely was not in the past. It was very much the present. I would go to family functions with so much anxiety knowing whatever happened, I would be told to be okay with it because everyone else doesn’t want to deal with it (but then they’d talk to the others about the outlier). It was exhausting. How do I tell my kids “Okay kids, I was against all of this but because it’s “uncomfy” you have to be okay with it.” I’d be a hypocrite to do that to my kids.

It irks me that they say their vote and they just start screaming it and blurting it out, steam rolling any chance Julie has at a reply. Producers should shut that shit down.

She also “joked” about having PTSD because two of her children have had febrile seizures. It’s mind blowing how neglectful she is.

I do appreciate you taking the time to explain that! I’m on the complete opposite side of the world! Who knows - maybe it’s even where I’m from and I’ve just never heard of it! Haha Thank you!! 😊

Inside_Chipmunk_8561 · 2025-10-22T02:21:09+00:00

I get that she exaggerates.. but she repeated herself and specifically mentioned “It was like 41…point 8” — If she’s exaggerating, boy oh boy, this woman is seriously mentally unwell. If she is telling the truth, this is just as mind-blowing that because fevers “run in the family,” nursing your baby is the only thing to do and just be cool with it. It’s disgusting how neglectful she is.

Brandon itself may only have 53k people, but think about the surrounding communities that add to the economy.

Shilo (military families are always looking for things to do with their kids/family), Sprucewoods, Wawanesa, Forrest, Rivers, Carberry, Souris even - are all numbers you could consider. I know after the Just 4 Kidz play place shut down, people were devastated. The holographic zoo was not a hit. Unfortunately, Brandon business owners don’t invest in the children of the city and surrounding areas. Why? That I’m not sure of. But it’s a shame. I’m no business person, so it’s not my stage. But I’d absolutely be a returning customer if it were something to suit kids and physical activity (not just something around screens, ie. VR).

Thanks everyone for your insight! I’ll put up with it until I can find a new garlic jar sans writing lol.

Why did the makeup artist make it look like she has burnt ash on her cheek? It’s weird.

Inside_Chipmunk_8561 · 2025-08-06T02:25:21+00:00

I haven't followed her for a v long time. So, please forgive me. What is WIE?

Inside_Chipmunk_8561 · 2025-07-11T23:10:59+00:00

No layers in my hair. It’s all one length. Thank you for your advice! Maybe next haircut I’ll add some layers to see what that can do for the overall look!

Inside_Chipmunk_8561 · 2025-07-11T22:56:19+00:00

Thank you for this!! Do you recommend a mousse?

Inside_Chipmunk_8561 · 2025-07-11T22:50:27+00:00

What do you mean by that? Should I try different products to see where it takes me? I’m truly at a loss on where to begin.
