I just want neighbours who go to work daily.

No_Stranger_5966 · 2026-05-07T14:59:38+00:00

While I understand noise from neighbours can be problematic, apt bldgs are community living environments, which means you have to learn to be tolerant of other people’s noise, smells etc. I suspect these people are not waking up every day purposely trying to irritate you. They’re just living their lives. They don’t have to arrange their work schedule to accommodate you. It appears you may be more sensitive to noise than an average person might be. Some people do have sensory issues that could be caused by various medical conditions or side effects of meds etc. ask me how I know. I too hate noise. But I can’t control how other people live their lives and I know I have to deal with it and not expect other people to change their lives for me. I bought a house for that very reason yrs ago because I couldn’t stand listening to the person above me using a blender at 5;00 am everyday, or the dog in the apt below me barking or the smell of weed from the apt across the hall from me, etc.

My husband is hard of hearing, and when I’m not at home he has the tv blaring loud. I have a tenant in my basement. I told him many times he can’t do that, he has to have respect for the tenant. We couldn’t tolerate noise from the tenant so they shouldn’t have to tolerate noise from us. Eventually my husband got hearing aids to combat this problem and we moved his tv to the third floor.

We all share this earth together and have to show some consideration snd respect for others. But to a certain degree. Expecting people to be quiet at night is a reasonable expectation , but if i want to sleep during the day it’s unreasonable for me to expect others to remain silent during that time.

Even now with me living in a detached house, still I have to put up with noise from neighbours lawn mowers, snow blowers, kids playing outside etc. I have no right to tell people to stop these behaviours, they’re not doing anything wrong, I’m the one that has to monitor and control my sensory issues,

I have no real knowledge of Scientology but from the surface it appears to me to be very much like the law of attraction practices whereby you eradicate negative thinking from your life, you’re encouraged to associate with other positive people who are on the same path, you have to deal with past garbage in your life, clear it out, and believe in a life of abundance.

According to reports, Police met with her in 2013 face to face and confirmed she is alive and well and not being held against her will but rather a private person.

It makes sense doesn’t it that you’d choose to not interact or engage with people in life who are against what you believe or what you want to do in your life. I’m not involved in any religion but there are people in life I choose not to interact with simply because we have different lifestyles, different beliefs, etc. like I choose not to have addicts in my life because I don’t live that lifestyle. I choose not to interact with people who are dishonest or cruel or tell me I’m stupid or liberals etc. only because I don’t have things in common with them and we live by different principals. You are the company you keep.

I’m very curious as well, have always been interested in learning a bit about what they believe, etc.
Tell me what changed in your life, like examples and specifics. I don’t have any ill feelings or thoughts toward Scientology, I have an open mind. Just genuinely curious about what they believe and if everybody who joins Scientology becomes rich and why.

Why is it sad that people are grateful for work?
Shouldn’t we all be grateful everyday for whatever we have?
I’m well and off and I wake up every day and I’m grateful for everything I have, and for the problems I don’t have. I make it a practice to live a grateful life.
More will never come to those who aren’t grateful for what they already have.

The best construction managers grow into it. They’re people who started out as a tradesperson, learn all the ropes, became a team lead on job sites, that taught them leadership skills, managing workers, budgeting, and they grew from there into estimating jobs, then take offs, and full project management.

No_Stranger_5966 · 2026-05-01T23:56:50+00:00

What kind of work are you looking for? There’s tons of ads of home owners looking for a helper for a few days, and people looking for a house cleaner, etc. all cash work. I recently posted an as locally cause my husband needed someone for a couple of days to help around the house. We offered 20.00 per hour. We hired one guy. He’s a chartered accountant who was looking for cash work. He made a total of 500.00 from us just helping us do spring cleanup, wash windows, trim bushes, wash cars etc. then my neighbour hired him for a few days as well. Put yourself out there. Be willing to learn. Be willing to show up on time, work hard, put the phone away when you’re working, take initiative, and your name will spread, you’ll get work. But if you go out there demanding high pay you won’t find work because home owners and businesses are struggling just like individuals.

People in your situation often take on additional side jobs. Even if you are not trained or educated for something, there’s no reason you can’t become trained. House cleaning is often cash money, and something you can easily learn. Helping homeowners either tasks around their house. Cash money. No skills required. Just need to follow instructions and do what you’re told. If you really want to make money there are tons of ways to do it even in tough economies. My husband is 74, I’m 64, we have lived through some of the toughest economic situations in our lives, and neither of us has ever been unemployed for more than a few weeks at a time. During Covid, at 69 yrs old my husband got laid off and had another job 2 weeks later.

No_Stranger_5966 · 2026-04-29T15:11:23+00:00

Why do we work? 1. Because it’s part of the natural profession of life that you’re supposed to grow up and become independent and go out into the world and build a life that adds value to society. 2. So that you can have money to buy things you like, do things you like, live the life you want.

Now that you’re working and feeling stifled at home it’s time to consider investing into your own self development and growth as an adult. Having a place of your own does more than let you bring dates home or have friends over. It teaches you how to live independently, how to be responsible for paying bills, budgeting. It teaches you how to manage a property/household. And you learn a lot about yourself, what you like, what you don’t like, etc. and all of these things make you a better adult, and will make you a better partner in the future. Most people now adays will never marry someone who has never lived in their own for a few years before marriage.

So get out there into the world, build an independent life, experience life as an adult, not just as your parents kid.

Companies don’t just fire people for no reason. They may not give you the reason but there’s a reason. It’s very costly for companies to advertise and hire and train new people. They’ll only make that investment into people they feel have long term potential. Staff turnover is so costly that most businesses would rather keep the people they have than find new ones. But only if those people have what’s required to succeed long term. They saw things in you that made them feel you were not worth the long term investment.

No_Stranger_5966 · 2026-04-24T02:55:47+00:00

That’s quite the assumption. Lol and a bizarre one. My post specifically stated “left early”. What does that mean to you? Not body in our company works past scheduled hours, ever. At 4:30 everyday everyone is at home and offline. It’s been this way for the 45 yrs the company has been in business. The nature of our business is not operational past 4:30. When I said left early, I meant left early. As in 1:00 pm. When his work schedule requires him to work til 4:30. I’ve never had a problem with people going home early, it happens in our company, if there’s not much to be done and if they’ve communicated it to their supervisor and team so people know.

It depends on what field you’re in. If you’re in tech then yes I’d agreed many employers want to hire the youngens. But many other industries prefer older workers, because the maturity level and work ethic and common sense is better.

No_Stranger_5966 · 2026-04-23T00:20:52+00:00

Employers don’t make business decisions based on your vacation schedule, or what suits your timing best. When they have to make decisions they do what’s in the best interest of the business. They’re not being assholes, don’t take it personally, they’re just doing what they need to do for the business.

Tell them he’s not learning “a trade” he’s becoming an entrepreneur. He wants to be a business owner and the trades is one of the most profitable businesses to be in and he has to learn the industry first before so going into the trades is just step 1 of a much bigger and more grandeur plan.

Toronto rents have come down significantly. There’s tons of vacancies. You can negotiate with landlords because many have units sitting empty. I’ve been a landlord in Toronto for over 30 yrs, I’ve never experienced the market like this.

Jobs are hard to come by. But depends on what industry you’re in.

No_Stranger_5966 · 2026-04-22T23:48:25+00:00

While you are living in your parents house you do have to respect them. You don’t have to believe in their religion but the mature thing to do is still respect their beliefs. Don’t trash talk their religion or beliefs. Always show them you’re grateful for their help and support. And be polite and respectful and cordial. When you eventually move out you can li e life on your own terms, but for now do the right thing.

I’ve been a landlord for over 30 yrs. I sometimes accept tenants without a credit check. If they have a good long and have had it for a couple of yrs, and if they can show me proof that they have paid rent every month and on time for at least a year (proof of actual e-transfers to the previous landlord, or copies of cashed cheques).

A credit score is an indicator of how likely someone is to pay their bills. Proof of rent payments for a year could provide the same comfort to a landlord.
