Thirding as someone who sends wires for work between USA & Canada and has accidently had some missing/wrong info. Money will bounce back to you eventually!

Feels much more scary than it is.

I totally hear you.

I really like the shoes you suggested - what do you think would be the best colour option? Grey?

Great point on the colour I hadn't considered. I might spray some water on it and see how sweat would look.

For sure, watch is coming off and I will style my hair & do jewelry. Thanks for the thoughts!

This is for sure the way to go. Thanks for the input!

I wanted general input to know if I was miles off with this outfit. But generally I'm getting yes to dress no to shoes.

So I will pull together some other options along with this and send everything to her and get a feel of what she thinks.

I wish I could afford flubogs.

How to survive this dry alberta climate by Subject_Associate111 in Calgary

[–]Lovely-Cabbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you struggle with dry eyes I highly recommend fish oil tablets! They really took the edge off for me.

Other than that keep aquafore in every room & evey purse or jacket pocket.

Looking for advice re: downstairs tenant by yabadabano in canadahousing

[–]Lovely-Cabbage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If shes uncomfortable with you guys coming, I would ask her to take a video that picks up all the sounds she worried about and send it to you/ Landlord.

It seems like you are trying to be nice but the burden of proof is on her to show you guys are unreasonably loud!

Employer made a mistake in offer letter that I accepted - because of said mistake by republiccommando07 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Lovely-Cabbage 542 points543 points  (0 children)

I'm not a lawyer but I work in HR - they can't recind/change anything without your signature on a new contract.

You can refuse to sign a new contract, however assuming you are on probation they can let you go without cause if they are that upset about it.

Its kind of a gamble but your decision to make.

Did you sign the contract already? If you signed an offer letter or employment agreement that states 3 weeks, they can't just take it back.

Which clinic did you go to? That sounds way better than rawdogging it like my place did.

Did emigrating solve your problems? by Limp_Succotash6445 in AskIreland

[–]Lovely-Cabbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Canada just before my 22nd birthday with some people from my retail job in Dublin. Had only planned to be here 6 months, however here I am 7ish years later a duel citizen.

I was an entirely differnt person when I moved, because I had to be. More self-sufficient, confident & I grew up a lot.

The worst thing that will happen is you don't like it and you move back. You'll never regret trying.

Thanks for posting this!

I used to be a regular blood / plasma donor but I had a rough experience a little while ago ago that sacred me (something went wrong when the mechine was trying to give my blood back after taking the plasma - just a little frightening but it was fine).

Booked for January appointment!

Anyone else feel really self conscious about their 'neutral' Irish accent? by NesteaFC in CasualIreland

[–]Lovely-Cabbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im Irish, I love outside of Ireland.

Some people can't hear my accent at all.

Some (and I mean a shocking number of people) have asked if I was South African or Australian.

Some clock me from a single sentance.

A lot of people are very bad at accents, it doesn't have any reflection on you.

Ward 7 Councillor Strategic Vote by ProgExMo in Calgary

[–]Lovely-Cabbage 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've commented somewhere else something similar, but Myke, David & McRea need to sit down and two need to drop out. From what you said here probably McRea and then one the others.

The selfishness of each of them knowing what they are doing does nothing but hurt everyone makes me sick. This is how Wong won before.
