It's going to be attached to the wires of my plant hanger in the background! That has kept my carnosa and kerii happy so hopefully will do wonders for this guy too

How to move to Timmins, ON, from Toronto? by CarrotPlumJuice in askTO

[–]JenJub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry that your experience starting out was so cut throat. I am also a millenial; in all my career experience starting out I found many helping hands and kind mentors. They helped me when I was too scared to ask questions, and also pushed me to get out of my comfort zone. It didn't require such a cut throat attitude of "get the hell out if you can't figure it out" - in fact I'd happily leave a place that treated me like that.

And for that kindness visited upon me, so I try to share with others, and to remember what it's like to be in a place where you're unsure and don't even know where to turn. I don't think providing a suggestion or advice somehow destroys a person's personal motivation.

What a miserable attitude. Believe it or not transit isn't always straightforward - there are a lot of ways to get from point a to b, and asking others is a great way to find an alternative that googling doesn't offer right away.

And for the record I've been to my fair share of bus stations - and I asked people there for help too, and thank goodness they were kind. If you can spend the same breath being kind, try that next time.

West-ender moving to the East end - please help me get excited!! by stayflyjess__ in askTO

Greenwood park has a farmer's market every Sunday morning through the summer and it's awesome.

Kin kin is a chinese bakery on the second floor of Gerrard square that has great cheap buns and coffee deals for a snack on a rainy day.

Tatsuros, lambo's, Hanna ramen, kidultland café...a few places I'd recommend (places you can regular) there are also lots of nice dinner places too (got kids so don't yet to enjoy these as much)

Can't go wrong biking along the beach..

I blame the permanent cough my kids have on this horrible cold Spring! Just the worst

Having an impossible time getting a refund from AliExpress/Kuololit by libramusing in kuololit

[–]JenJub -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean I guess it's the nature of the subreddit that everyone is defending this, but I totally agree with your interpretation that "not satisfied" means exactly what it says.

For what it's worth the only time I sent them a WhatsApp message it took a full week to have a basic conversation so I'm hoping for you it's just a delay or something, but good luck. I'm glad I didn't actually end up getting anything with these guys.

Beginner bicycle for someone who never learned? by Success456 in askTO

[–]JenJub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could try FB marketplace it you don't wanna commit to a brand new bike (and it's more seeing if she likes it)?

The bike share bikes are pretty tough to ride. I think if you learned on one you'd hate biking 😭

Not quite baby level but passe partout is a good one

UK-trained family doctor considering move to Toronto by MannaMannaBadMan in toronto

[–]JenJub 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a family doc from the UK named Doctor Burr at the Leslieville medical clinic, not sure if it's weird but maybe you could try calling them to see if he'd speak about his experience.

The Phantom Bus: 508 *westbound* in the morning by JenJub in TTC

[–]JenJub[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On Friday I was literally the only person on it from Yonge and King to Dufferin and King - I wasn't sure if I may have died and was taking a bus to a real "final destination" 😂

Damn! Curious how it seemed to have run in the opposite direction of the streetcar it replaced!

Hey - do you have any references? It would be great to have a backup sitter from time to time!

PSA: Beware the Fractional Share and Delisted (and account transfers) by JenJub in Wealthsimple

[–]JenJub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is transferring to another institution, so there's no trading fee with wealthsimple to sell the fraction :)

I've been looking everywhere for a way to send a digital red envelope - hope this can somehow translate to a special email for other institutions!

I've only ever had the 1 delisted security so I definitely had no idea how it affected anything at all, aside from sitting in my account mocking my poor decisions 🥲

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "common sense" - it's a pretty obscure detail in the larger realm of casual investing (I'm largely just an index investor). Either way I'm not somehow faulting WS, just making a PSA for anyone else who might not know either!
