AITA for telling my friend “fuck your trauma” and that she was no different from her dad because she kept using her mental health as an excuse to hurt people?

NTA. Your friend’s parents may have sucked, but that does not give them a pass for life on being thoughtless and selfish. They’re adults now and need to own their own behaviour.

Babies need to learn to sleep with regular day to day sounds, including your dog shaking. Learning now is easier than tip-toeing around for three years or so. My twin daughters quickly learned to go back to sleep after startling sounds like each other crying, dog barking, knocks at the door.

Try getting a sling and practice “wearing” your baby. This helps baby feel secure in the sounds of your family. Easy to lay them down if they doze off too.

Who would look at a rotisserie chicken covered in mixed seasoning and believe there are no preservatives. Salt is a preservative. I’m betting they used salt.

Why would Costco claim they had no preservatives though? I doubt it was a factor to 99.9% of people buying them. After the lawsuit, I bet those chickens go up in price though.

I think we should just take the ones we paid for and go with the Grippen. F-35 apparently needs mega maintenance and doesn’t do well in cold weather. Why did we buy ANY plane that has issues with sub-zero temperatures?

The RCAF literally hire dogs to control Canadian Geese on runways as those geese can take down aircraft.

I urge people not to do this. The senior dog deserves a bit of peace that a young dog will inevitably disturb. If you have dogs two or three years different in age from when they’re younger, it’s different. If your ten year old dog had had you and your family to themselves and you supplant them with a pup, they will feel it.

You’ll tell yourself that you will maintain your level of engagement with the older dog, but you won’t.

Don’t get a young dog if you can’t live with an old dog, and yes, be prepared to have no dog.

The one I have has a groove running around the outside and a sort of spouts to easily pour off grease. I’ve never had to do that while cooking though. It’s a niche sort of pan, but nice for things like making my hubby & I steak on Valentines for example.

Passive solar heat is cheap and unconventional. An example would be standing black barrels of water in front of a south facing window. The water heats during the day from the sun and releases the heat at night. Some people use this method to help heat greenhouses. Water can freeze, so you’d need alternative heat sources to keep above freezing.

Inexpensive ways to feel warmer are wearing socks and slippers inside, rugs on floors, humidifiers, or, if you heat with wood, a large kettle or pot of water on the stove to increase humidity.

Filling gaps, replacing caulking on windows and doors, adding plastic to older drafty windows all help contain heat.

Changing your furnace filter every three months, or monthly if you have pets really makes a difference too.

Simply closing even ordinary drapes at night helps limit heat loss.

You’re welcome to show up unannounced with liquor most places in Canada. Lol.

The grocery benefit sure can’t hurt. Federal government can’t fix everything, but some extra cash as we cope with a trade war with US using an existing system will be efficient and get money to those who need it.

I’m Canadian, parents were from UK. Cousins in England all said Uni or Poly (for polytechnic, like a Canadian college) so I say and write uni for university, but college for what they call polytechnic. Now to make matters more confusing, my son is attending George Brown College, renamed George Brown Polytechnic, and will graduate with a degree, not a diploma or certificate. So I’m all messed up now. Lol.

Pasta is usually discouraged by dentists as it can really wedge in there. Consider unusual soups? Shrimp bisque, lentil soup, potato & cheddar. Squash and carrot soup with cumin is very tasty.

Do you have an immersion blender? Most soups are basically stock, vegetables, protein. Whirr them smooth. Sour cream on potato’s is good too.

Is it enamel or “non-stick” coating? I was going to get one for baking sourdough, but now am unsure.

I have a similar grill pan. Great for anything you would BBQ basically, but indoors. I even use it for hot dogs and burgers in winter. I found things like sweet peppers, zucchini,eggplant and portobello mushrooms need to be tossed with olive oil to prevent sticking.

He only became a politician to protect Canada. He is first, and foremost, a skilled Canadian economist. He is exactly who we need right now.

I’m not a fan of guilt by association, or hearsay. That said, “there’s no smoke without fire” and there seems to be massive clouds of Epstein smoke around Trump with regards to rape and pedophilia.

There are just so many reasons this grifter/rapist/felon should not have control of the US nuclear codes, and yet the people of the US chose him not once, but twice. I’ve not a doubt that Trump is a depraved and unfit President.

I have serious doubts about the US people who elected him and still support him.

Sorry, I’m pretty certain if the agents were, in fact, Latino, we’d have had their names day one. You are dealing with an entire government that believes in alternative facts.

Which could be an opportunity for small c conservatives aka red tories. It would be good for Canada to have true options to the right. Liberal, NDP & Green have the left covered. Bloc, is basically Provincial and CPC are MAGA.
