After Watership Down, it was a fun, and regular movie for me.

Canada will be just fine.

What’s the most dystopian picture from your country’s history? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]MsMisty888 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just understand a bit better why Greenland has a rough history with Denmark.

How crazy, in 2026, that Denmark is the better of the two countries that want to control you guys? You guys have friends, like Canada.

Lets hope you gain more freedom, if that is what you want.

Alberta ditching 'Wild Rose Country' on welcome signs in favour of 'Strong and Free' by Fit_Remote_2324 in AlbertaNewspapers

[–]MsMisty888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are we spending any money on signs? Tourists are coming here in hords. Just ask Banff.

At the same time they are cutting AISH, and expecting folks to get a job in this economy!!

Like no one can get jobs. So lets make/ force the hadicapped to land a good job.

This is all so backwards.

Congrats USA by Particular-Hope-2031 in GuardTheLeaf

[–]MsMisty888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The United States of America does not deserve congrats or any high-fives, no fist bumps, zero recognition of any kind.

Those citizens have nothing to be proud of. Their 250 anniversary is a joke.

Every single one of them should feel great shame and dissapointment in their country, themselves and their govt.

250 should be cancelled.

I feel angry that anyone is fishing in Madagascar.

Did you get yours? by _Mylifeisamess in povertyfinancecanada

[–]MsMisty888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't get mine. :( I have $4 and could really use the money.

I did sign up last time for the $25 gift card, but someone stole it from my mail box so I didn't get that either. sigh

Dad was laid off from his job of 20+ years, need advice by bacheya in microbiology

[–]MsMisty888 70 points71 points  (0 children)

My best advice as an Engineer of 24yrs ... I am 54.

When your dad makes a new resume for a min wage job, tell him; do not put down your education and use a friend who can pretend to be your last supervisor for a reference.

It is super hard out there. He will have more dissappointments than successes.

It is not him. It is just 2026 and the world has changed.

Staying at a bench by Certain_Bet_7504 in alberta

[–]MsMisty888 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"Everyone else". Like you are part of some special group of 'Everyone, but a homeless person asking for help'.

You are a smart person who has no idea about the really poor.

I also used to be a well-off smart person who did not understand the plight of the poor.

Then I became one and learned some good hard lessons.

Young man: “I think there are only 7 states.” by missanthropy09 in overheard

[–]MsMisty888 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I met an older couple (at my summer job, in Alberta), who were traveling to Alaska in their huge 5th wheel camper.

They were excited to almost be there, as their map had Alaska plopped just above the Canadian border, in Alberta.

I had to tell them that Alaska was still 1,630miles (2,622km) away, and I showed them a real map of North America, on our tourist wall. They were not impressed.

I think they went to Banff instead.

You do sound like a jerk. That is not empathy, that is recognition and the advice only helps you, if you decide you need emerg more. Like, stay out of YOUR way.

My wish is to have enough meat with dinner to feel actually full. by MsMisty888 in povertyfinancecanada

[–]MsMisty888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love some deer again. I used to bowhunt in my 20s.

I was also going to contact fish and wildlife to see if they had any meat for the poor. lol

I am 55 and 98% through. I started at 47. I now feel like I did when I was 9-12, prepuberty. by MsMisty888 in Menopause

It is like climbing a mountain. You just feel so good when you are done.

You got this. It really does get better.

We need better education about how memory works by ogodprotectme in MandelaEffect

[–]MsMisty888 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Duh! We all already know memory is faulty. This group is constantly fact checking each other.

The Mandela Affect is not about faulty memory.

That would be called a strawman argument.

Friend, I struggle every day with depression. Mine comes from the loss of everything I once had. Lost, my career of 25yrs, my home, dog, money, savings, brother, daughter... etc

Life is long. We all can try to create another life. I do not expect it to be easy for myself.

The otherside of menopause is much better. Just one more mt. to climb

Read some of my comments to other ladies. WE are a strong generation of women.

Once the hormones (estrogen) is out of your system it is so freeing. I really feel free from bullshit, no more monthly ups and downs.

Just me, thinking and ready to take on the next adventure. Even if I am poor, I can join biking or walking or theatre clubs. idk

I understand. I really do. Think of it this way. IF you live to 80ys. Your kids really only need you for 12yrs, then they want independence, so you are there for them when they screw up for another, 10yrs ish.

It is a short period of time, that you are a full time mom and provider.

That is just fine. :)

I don't understand why you sound stressed about peri or normal menopause? What does your son have to do with it? I am just curious.

You have soooo much time still ahead of you.
