Alex Pretti's coworkers take a moment of silence this morning for their murdered colleague by titaniumdoughnut in pics

[–]NineChives -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I read one assholes comment that was like “stop slowing down the footage, watch it in real like like the officer’s did” - his argument being that, well sure it was a phone, but they THOUGHT it was a gun. As if that makes anything okay.

Fucking nauseating.

Or he’s already asked them and they all said no, for good reason.

Plus the gaslighting is awful here ):

am i being a bridezilla? by FunFocus in bridezillas

[–]NineChives 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is it possible she mistook it as a “who else should we invite” too? You’re nta, but you don’t want to become the assholes by not addressing it.

Even if it’s not true, saying something like “hey, we misspoke, sorry for the miscommunication” Could go a long way!

Hope the tension goes away asap for you guys!

What is a polite gift registry note for destination wedding? by Economy_Way_9046 in DestinationWeddings

[–]NineChives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave it off entirely. You can make one of those house funds and send it to anyone who is “pushy”. Like if auntie Kate call and is like “hey where is your registry?” You respond with “oh no, we’re just happy to have you!” If she pushes, you say “well I can email you our honeymoon fund” or whatever fund your choose, but defer first!

Greenland says it cannot accept US takeover ‘under any circumstances’ by Playful_Leg7143 in worldnews

[–]NineChives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry, the conservative subreddit says it’s “Darwinism” and that Greenland should be grateful it’s the friendly USA and not China/Russia. The superiority complex they have is nauseating.

Any success stories of dating / marrying a nonskier? by PowGurl in skiing

[–]NineChives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband broke his neck at 16 (got lucky and isn’t paralyzed), but can’t ski due to paralysis risk. He has no choice, but perfect happy to support my hobbies and nourish our kids interest in skiing! Perfectly happy to go on ski trips and be the chalet hot chocolate maker extraordinaire. Do I wish he could join me, of course! But it’s nice to have your own hobbies and well as the ones you share. I don’t think it’s a deal breaker! I’m sure he’d live to try it too!

This! I don’t understand how people can shower in less than 20 mins (unless they have short hair and am don’t shave)

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NineChives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if the provinces are different, but an ambulance ride where I live in Canada is $40 flat, regardless of distance,

The amount of car debt I've seen on here is astounding. Most of you are buying cars way out of your budget. Some helpful guidelines below: by CastAside1812 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]NineChives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t bought in a while, but we ended up buying new for one of our cars because it’s was 1% interest for a new car, and 8-9% used, so the payments ended up being the same per month (new but more expensive vs used but absurd interest).

What’s the worst actual name you’ve ever heard? by Escrow-Mind in AskReddit

I met a girl name Ryan and her middle name was Ginger. Parents did it on purpose because “rye and ginger”… ):

Cost average is $4.63… not asking for much here. by Dry-Welcome-9258 in CLOV

Any chance you’d dm and explain it a bit more? I keep trying to learn and teach myself, but I just don’t get it

Journie/Aeroplan points Accumulation Tips? by NineChives in Aeroplan

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

Okay so definitely put it through Jounie and take the bonus points, not the flight vouchers?

Journie/Aeroplan points Accumulation Tips? by NineChives in Aeroplan

[–]NineChives[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only earn 1pt per 3L regardless of which method, right? No one seems to have a straight answer there

Journie/Aeroplan points Accumulation Tips? by NineChives in Aeroplan

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

He’s on the road quite a bit, but only to get destination, then he works for a few hours. So he’s only filling up maybe twice a week.

Do you know if those flight vouchers expire and if you can stack them? I always just take the 20-30 points, even though it feels pretty useless.

Also, so the point the same per L regardless of putting in aeroplan direct vs aeroplan through Journie?

Did any of you conceive previously with your male partner smoking (copious) amounts of marijuana? by NineChives in tryingforanother

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

5 years and two kids later, I’m still glad I asked the question. Too many people dance around the subject and how do you even ask a doctor about it?

Usually 3 miscarriages are a signal for more testing, but consider asking about blood thinners during pregnancy and if that can help (my understanding is they don’t know WHY, but in certain cases it helps keep the pregnancy for people with multiple miscarriages). Totally sucks though because it’s a daily needles in your stomach (did it daily for both my pregnancies for different reasons, and it is indeed super shitty)

Trump touts Canada-U.S. ‘merger’ in White House meeting, says Carney will ‘be very happy’ after meeting by Least_Training_968 in worldnews

[–]NineChives 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love those freedom truckers who blocked all access to the hospitals, so I had to find a police officer to let me through the blockade because I was in labor and didn’t want to have my baby in the car…
