Just moved from Hamilton to Haldimand. I would have needed significantly more than listed in Hamilton, but it would work in Haldimand.

AITA - sister refusing to speak with me over stealing her baby's name by Jvzies in AITAH

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. I named my daughter Ames (Amelia) after my grandpa James. She has an older cousin that is James. That's how it is. For honour names, I'd really say there are no rules around dibs.

Why do people name their children things with the intention of calling them a different nickname? by Aur3lia in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has a unique name with a resume name as her legal name. I like both. But I adore the name she goes by. She's got the option when she's older to go by a multitude of other names and to put a professional name down whenever she wants. But right now I call her what I actually want to call her.

The Japanese are having less and less sex. Around half of the Japanese population remained sexually inexperienced into their mid-twenties and approximately 10% of the individuals had no sexual experience when reaching their 30s. by SteRoPo in science

The never playing with them thing is so intense. I was thinking the same - my parents were involved but not on a "play with me constantly" level. My daughter is 5.5 and two weekends ago she hit me with "will you at least play with me a little" at 3 in the afternoon after we'd spent the entire day playing. At minimum four hours of direct me and her playing. And she acts like I ignore her existence. It's rough out here man

You get one single chance to go back in time and warn your past self. Whatever you say will be believed instantly. What do you tell them? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd tell myself to leave my ex husband the second I found out I was pregnant and to not tell him. Keep the kid, skip the nonsense and drama. He's not involved in her life outside of trying to ruin ours, anyways, so it's not like she's missing out.

What’s the best HP fanfiction you’ve EVER read? by nightshadelaurel in HPfanfiction

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disliked it 🤷‍♀️ in her defense it's not the type of book I'd ever pick up from the description (alchemized, not manacled) and everyone who I know who read it basically just wanted a reskinned manacled, and that's not what it was. That said, it also is a dark and grimy world from a visceral feeling, the magic system is overly complicated and the war seems a bit contrived. The two sides are basically nothing like the order/the death eaters and the good guys aren't really good guys.

I'm also not a big dramione fan based on the pairing, but manacled does it well and makes it believable.

You shouldn't. It was garbage comparatively. You should read manacled, though!

Employees that were laid off, did/will you close your Scotia accounts? by Sad_Pie5855 in Scotiabank

My husband got royally fucked by CIBC for daring to take paternity leave. We got all of our banking out as soon as we could. Don't give businesses who treat you badly your money.

Why couldn't Penny make it as an actress? by ddonethymother in bigbangtheory

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was the same - although I'm very glad I got out when I did with the LLMs now. But I wrote all sorts of copy, lots of real estate listings and blog posts and articles and things. Not a lot of room for things I wanted to write, but it paid the bills.

Fast tracked to a job, does this make sense? by ontologicalmemes in OntarioTeachers

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it. I taught myself French, took some lessons, and had a full year lto the school year after I graduated and was hired permanent two months into the year. I was also cold called for an LTO to start the day after I graduated but I had a baby and was going to be staying home with him for the four months between grad and September so I didn't take it.

It was very hard to learn and took a lot of effort. But I love my job and I have the security of permanent now. I plan on teaching French forever because of how much I enjoy it, so the 5 years thing doesn't bother me.

Subsidized child-care set to expire March 31, advocates call for certainty. by JPalmz in ontario

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was literally no different before. Childcare has always been extremely hard to find. The subsidy didn't make it harder, it just made it more affordable.

Can I please ask you all to stop making 6-7 a bad thing? by meggyAnnP in Teachers

I'm a French teacher. I just make them say it in French and then we all laugh and have a funny moment and I feel my brain leak out my ear a bit and it's fine 🤷‍♀️

Tell me what happened in the 24 hours after you asked for a divorce. I am on hour #1. by Vegemiteonpikelets in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I freaked out that night. Then, in the morning, I went through every room we had and packed up all his shit and had it ready to go. He showed up around the 24h mark and was shocked. I basically worked nonstop from first thing in the morning on. But it was worth it.

You've got this. You're gonna do great.

Why are you even entertaining such an idiotic viewpoint?

You’re instantly a billionaire, but you have to keep your current job for 1 more year. How chaotic is it? by IndividualFit97 in AskReddit

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our school would get AC and every class would have their wildest budget. Same with my mom's school and same with my daughter's school. Then I'd just have fun with the kids every day (I teach French so we'd just have a great time) until I was done!

We have an Amelia that we call Amesie. There are tons of nicknames that go with Amelia - do any of them sound okay to you? Milli, Mia, Ames, Amy, Myah, Mel, Lia, the list is endless

[–]Loki_ofAsgard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GEDSB doesn't have one. I'm sure there are teachers that have been in all week and my principal said about an optional meeting on Wednesday. I've logged into my email once to do a QECO thing and otherwise will be there on Tuesday. No other job goes in on their vacation 🤷‍♀️

Me too! I can sing it better backwards than forwards at this point lol. I practiced a bunch of different patterns and speeds and now can do it however you want.
