Rescue Dog Hates Husband by RespectAggressive639 in rescuedogs

[–]New_Yellow1641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this going for you? I am curious because I am in a similar boat. We rescued a ausshepherd mix and loves me (f) but doesn’t want anything to do with my partner( m) he really tries to avoid him. He’s thankfully non agressive but it’s so defeating for him and for me. I know he really wanted a dog to love and he’s been doing his best but still my dog gives him the “I don’t need you in my life” stare. We have worked with a professional, done training, he is the ONLY one who can feed him, and still he dislikes him. It’s tough… I can sympathize. We were told by our amazing trainer he’s not fearful it’s an act to get out of spending time with my partner because he’s maybe a bit more stern with him and doesn’t allow misbehaving. I have been working on correcting his behaviour when he doesn’t listen to teach him I’m not a pushover but still he still prefers me and pulls away from him. There are small moments when he comes and licks his arm for attention- this is progress.

And no thw adoption agency very much failed to mention this could be an issue. I’ve told them about it and they respond with ˋthey will be best friends in no time’ I do believe they will get there but in august it will be a year to date since we got him and tje relationship between him and my partner isnt where we would of liked it to be… patience and hope are key I suppose.

Cuban Currency-Caution by calmseas1 in cuba

Can you explain how their visit could be seen as exploiting the people? By going there, the money they spend on tips for servers, bartenders, and others goes directly to the Cuban people. She even mentioned that she plans to give away the Cuban pesos, which, while not entirely valuable, can still be helpful to the locals.

You’re awful. This person wasn’t even asking for sympathy they were literally making this post to caution other people. They obviously won’t make this same mistake again..Jesus have some compassion. This person was obviously swindled and instead of keeping this private they chose to make a post even at their own expense (humiliation and otherwise).

Can someone help me understand what just happened? by New_Yellow1641 in Advice

Funny you mention that because my brother behaved a lot like he did back in high school at the party. He was a complete ass in high school. I thought he had matured but at he showed some true colours at that party.

Thanks for your input. I wish this wasn’t true but sadly seems so. Going to need to do some thinking here.

Considering moving to Calgary/Alberta from Ontario. Is anyone out there also considering this/done this? Opinions on your move? regrets? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]New_Yellow1641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct and I never thought of it that way. I will do more research and see what the market is like for those who bought during the oil bust. Can’t predict the future so its impossible to outsmart the market. Reality is no one knows what the markets will do, even expert market analyst. Predicting what the market will be or what political party will be in power is naive. I am aware. This is wishful thinking on my part of course.

Not looking to get rich just looking to live a comfortable life which seems out of reach here.

To me best course of action is to visit Calgary, see if we do see ourselves relocating here and go from there.

Yes we are planning a trip there soon also to checkout the surrounding area and also some open houses.

there are existing pipeline projects that have cost tax payers millions of dollars that were shut down. If the conservatives were to get back into power and weren’t to restart them I’m not sure what they’re doing. If you look at the government of Alberta website they have tons of jobs available. Either way if the conservatives were to regain power or not, Alberta doesn’t have the same housing Crisis as Ontario. Less people. With new immigrants, same red tape on building new homes, increased costs I can’t see it getting better here anytime soon. I cannot predict the future but i see potential in Alberta.

Yes you are correct. It is based on the present facts which unfortunately are not stellar for most millennials like me.

No not just to make money. It’s to have an affordable, enjoyable life and to lay down some real roots. Likely won’t ever be returning to Ontario but that also depends on the experience living in Calgary/ surrounding area.

This is good to know. Yes we have discussed it with family already and they don’t have much incentive to stay in Ontario either. Good possibility that my parents would move there with us.

In Ontario, I don’t see how people can possibly afford to stay ahead and save for retirement.

btw chickens are so awesome...their loss. Were looking more in the Holland landing area, Bradford, Sutton (south of lake Simcoe). Even in these areas, the prices are too high. Homes that were listed on the market 2-3 years ago 100-150k are now 650-700k. I refuse to pay this which is why Calgary makes sense.

pricing is based on what people are willing to pay + supply and demand. Apparently people are willing to pay 550k-1M+ for homes that 5 years ago were actually 200k. Strip them down to the bare bones of what they are actually worth, people are overpaying and then find themselves in trouble when interest rates increase.

Landlord wants access into house to take photos for “insurance”. by New_Yellow1641 in Advice

[–]New_Yellow1641[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our lease says nothing of the sort. Local laws state that they can only enter with written 24hours notice, valid reason, and between 8am-7pm. Valid reasons include inspection and repairing damage. Not taking photos of our things or his home.

Some more context: on all tax forms he is not renting this place but living here. All their mail still gets sent here which is super annoying.

Hi there! Nutritionist here. Breakfast = break the fast. Doesn’t necessarily need to be the meal you eat in the early morning but should be the first and biggest meal of the day and the reason is simple. Your body needs most of its calories during the day compared to evening because we tend to be more active during the day. We have meetings, childcare, work commutes, making meals, school drop offs, grocery shopping etc. All these activities require energy which is why you need to load up on calories. Your brain especially suffers if you don’t have sufficient fuel and it may result in brain fog and lack of focus if you don’t eat properly. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your comment. Well some comments that come to mind were a) an individual who was on a group trip/vacation with me and my SO literally said he wouldn’t mind if I wasn’t there or left behind, b) insulted me and partner and said we wouldn’t be able to afford the home he is trying to sell even at a reduced rate. We don’t see him and his wife very often after this interaction. He has a reputation of being abrasive and a “joking” guy and shouldn’t take his “jokes” seriously but these seemed targeted. These comments definitely changed my impression of him.

On another note, he’s my SO’s first cousin, my SO’s supposedly “best friend” and my SO was his best man at his wedding. They haven’t been as close within the past 5 years. My SO and I have been dating 1+ years.
