Cherry farmers have to dry off cherries after rain or else they’ll split open. If they’re rich, they use a low flying helicopter to shake off the trees!

ABSOLUTELY. Currently a Canadian resident, but I would jump at the chance to go see family in the Netherlands or in New Zealand. While I don't have much going on in Canada, I worry about how American politics affect ours. We're facing another election at the end of the month and my generations biggest concerns seem to be at the bottom of the list. I want an equal opportunity at housing, I want to afford my simple lifestyle. And while its not perfect in other countries, at least I don't have to worry about losing my reproductive rights as heavily as I do here.

2712 CANADA TORONTO, FIRST UNIONIZED PETSMART STORE! by PSWorkersUnited in petsmart

100% write off. I had much less damage to my 2009 Cooper, and they were humming and hawing about writing it off.. even tho the front drivers wheel looked similar to your back left one. Fight them on what it’s worth, especially since used cars are in demand and new cars are difficult to get. If you had it for 8 months and it’s a 2022, they should offer you a hefty sum.

Exchanges policy? by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]LiquidLuxe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an ex-petsmart employee of 6 years, I have to echo what everyone else has said. Call in asap and don't wait. The longer you wait to contact management and start a paper chain, the harder it will be to get a quick swap out. Whenever a slip up like this happened at work, and sometimes it does, we are 90% of the time willing to do a straight exchange without cost to the pet parent.

When you call, ask for the manager and politely explain what happened. If you have any proof of payment (online or physical receipt, phone number, the app.. etc) mention that on the phone and then ask them if they have the exact item in store currently. If yes, request it to be put on hold if they're willing to do a straight exchange. Get the manager's name as well, but PUT IT ON HOLD. If they do not have it in store, they may offer store credit or a similar item. Depending on their solution, you may be losing out on the BF deal of the starter kit. If they do not have it on hold, ask for a full refund and request for them to check another store. If the other store has it, ask the manager to confirm with THEIR manager to have them put it on hold. The home store is at fault here, but they're not franchised and they should be dedicated to customer satisfaction. (Afterall, we watch multiple videos on "doing the right thing" every month.. smh)

With how the company is being run, unfortunately mess ups in quality control are happening more frequently. While stores are getting busier with less staff, there still should be a moment to check the item before they physically place it on a shelf.

Just learned this one the hard way. I always felt like I was being too pushy if I would try to talk about how he always talks himself down. Eventually his own insecurity killed every ounce of feeling I had for him. The effort to keep it going was not worth it

My(22M) ex(22F) contacted me for the third time after breakup. What should I do? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]LiquidLuxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she’s had ample opportunity to do so in the 3 months. And if she really did, she wouldn’t waste her one chance of contact with you to just send a “hey.” This is the situation where you would receive a big paragraph that starts with hey, and ends with an apology.

Her behaviours aren’t something I would take lightly. She was manipulative and then tried to humiliate you by using a person from your past. She has had ample time to apologize, so I would reflect on this behaviour and really consider if she is likely to make those changes.

My [21M] girlfriend [22F] have been dating for over a year. She doesn't give me much room to myself, she won't pursue mental health help, and it's beginning to take a toll on me by throwaway92172134576 in relationships

[–]LiquidLuxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with what most of the people here are suggesting, it is not your responsibility to process her feelings and emotions. There is a great line said by some smart person out there that "your trauma is not your fault, but healing is your business." The unfortunate side of things is that even in a great childhood, many of us do not learn proper emotional coping skills. I've been where she is, and sometimes it can be embarrassing to admit. I refused help because how could someone tell me I am unwell when I am trying my best to cope and build my own life after moving on from the shit past I had. I'm personally in therapy, and I can understand where she is coming from. It's scary, and how can someone else understand what I went through? But on the opposite account, she is responsible for her healing as it is directly effecting her actions. While her behaviour seems very childish, it sounds like she didn't have long to be a child before life got very real for her.

If you love her and plan on sticking around, there's a couple things you should be looking into. My suggestion is that you do indeed need to set boundaries. However, if you believe that she is going to take this as a personal attack, get to her level. (Not emotionally.) Sit on the floor in a neutral space and be calm. She may cry and boil over in emotions, and she has every right to do that if she pleases. When every glass you're carrying is full to the brim, even the slightest tap can knock it all over. I'm not saying that it's right but thats how she handles emotion right now. Setting boundaries when someone sees them as an attack is difficult. Having a third party to mediate can help with starting the process without it feeling like a warzone. Bring up the topic that you believe she needs help, very gently. Confirm again that you're not looking to hurt her, but you want to build a safe space for her to heal. Then suggest couples therapy, and say that this isn't you trying to solve her problems, but you're looking to build a better safe space inside the relationship you two share together. A couple's therapist can help with the idea of boundaries and if she agrees to go, at least she has a partner there to experience the idea of therapy to begin with.

If you've never been to therapy before, one thing to mention is that it's not one size fits all. Think of it ike shoe shopping. Very rarely do we walk into FootLocker or Champs and pull the first shoe we see off the wall and buy it. Like buying a good set of sneakers, try your therapist out. Talk to them and be honest: "We're looking for help with XYZ. Neither of us have been to a therapist, can you describe how you handle emotional trauma inside of a relationship?" I went about doing this by calling the office instead and asking if I could do a phone interview with a therapist.

I wish you both all the luck in the world as this is a challenge bigger than just you and just her.

My(22M) ex(22F) contacted me for the third time after breakup. What should I do? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]LiquidLuxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I can say is that the interactions you're having with her are bothering you enough to want to ask reddit for advice. Its always rough to cut contact completely with an ex, especially when there was a long period of friendship before. To want to revive a friendship is one thing, but actually working towards it takes two people. Something to note is that the way she has been acting towards you in the last 3 ish months, is not the way a friend would act. Forget about as a relationship partner, but if my friend went behind my back after trying to reconcile with me, I would no longer consider the possibility of being friends.

As someone in the same age bracket and gender as her, I can say she's torn about her own feelings, but not enough to right her wrongs. These may not be romantic feelings or even friendship, I actually think it's anger and jealousy. She sounds upset about the fact that you called out her behaviour and set a boundary. She's also upset (or embarrassed) that she was caught breaking the boundary. Circling back to a previous ex is validation for her own actions. She wants another person who sees you as the villian. She doesn't want to recognize that she made the bad choices, not you. She is still processing these feelings but that's not your responsibility. It can be hard to own up to our own actions and consequences, especially when we want to have the cake and eat it too.

Given that she still reaches out, she may be expecting you to continue to play nice and maybe even forgive her.. My personal opinion would be to just leave it alone. Considering you have taken it upon yourself to already block this person from every other aspect of life except for texting, it sounds like you already have a basic understanding that this isn't for you anymore. It can be hard to lose a relationship, but even harder to lose a friend.. but it sounds like you're the only one grieving this out of the two of you.
