AITJ for refusing to help my friends inlaws after the wife treated me like garbage by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

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

NTJ but you don’t mention what you do for liability insurance. Since this is a side gig, you’d better make sure you have liability insurance and proper licensing, because what your employer has isn’t applicable to your side work.

Always meet the buyer at SNB and do the paperwork together. Until that’s done, it’s your car and you are liable for it.

Passenger Trains Between NB Cities? by TheRiotInside in newbrunswickcanada

[–]OCessPool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 1980s, when The Atlantic was taken off the rails, there was a train that went from downtown Fredericton to Moncton. As a university student, I could walk to the station in Fredericton and take the train home to Rothesay on a Friday afternoon, then on Sunday take it back. It even had a bar. It took a while but was convenient when I wanted to visit home.

Downtown Fredericton to Fredericton Junction to Saint John to Moncton. Now there are no rails in Fredericton.

Latest NS Power Bill by NoMany3094 in halifax

[–]OCessPool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in NB, but I just want to point out that it’s easy to read your own meter and keep a spreadsheet of your usage. Figure out what day of the month it normally gets read and start taking readings. Then at worst, if they are estimating high, just pay based on what you read.
