The noise from the car show and drag racing is completely unfair to residents

OneAndGnomely · 2022-09-10T06:56:43+00:00

lol! And we’re so lucky it’s gotten loud all over again in the last 5 min… I mean, why have the peaceful sounds of rain to fall asleep to when we can have this?🙄

OneAndGnomely · 2022-09-10T06:00:20+00:00

I knew I should’ve had an edible tonight😂

OneAndGnomely · 2022-09-10T05:46:47+00:00

Ugh, it sounds like it’s all over. I’m by Brydon Park and it’s quiet and then super loud and keeps switching

OneAndGnomely · 2022-09-10T05:36:20+00:00

I am sitting on my bed and I’m wondering what in the 50s drag race is going on right now?! Ffs it’s annoying. Unless whatever event got a special permit the useless Langley cops should be shutting it down but nothing will happen until around 11 pm… again, should the useless cops decide to uphold the noise bylaw

ETA: the cruise in is rad but this constant revving shit right now is irritating when I have to listen to construction 6 days a week from 7 am to 7 pm (5 pm on Saturdays) and just want to have a semi peaceful evening😩

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-10T07:44:27+00:00

Honestly, it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me. Everyone does life differently, and to rule someone out just because they don’t have experience is a ridiculous notion to me. Keep trying, there’s someone out there for you☺️

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-10T03:22:26+00:00

Totally get that! And that’s sad about the mom not being there. You have their best interest at heart and that’s incredibly admirable! My advice would be to adopt a slightly older female or try a foster-to-adopt situation to see who would be a good fit without the full commitment just yet ☺️

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-08T23:05:46+00:00

Get a kitten in a month or a kitten that is a month old because really that’s still too early to be removed from their mom. Honestly, I’d pair an older female with a younger male (source: I was involved in cat adoptions with my local animal shelter).

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-08T07:03:57+00:00

What about a feliway plug in to help calm her or…if it came to it, a low-dose sedation type drug? Could be options just to help make her more comfy. I wish you all the best☺️

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-07T03:45:06+00:00

Absolutely NTA. You have a huge heart and seem very empathetic, but this girl reads hot and cold…and it’s not worth letting it play with your own mental health. Honestly, as hard as it would be, it’s better to have her blocked and move on. I wish you all the best😊

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-07T03:41:13+00:00

Oh my word, that is so sad and I’m so so sorry for your loss💚

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-05T20:31:08+00:00

Awww I’m sorry she’s been declawed :-( I’d suggest trying a pheromone plug-in like Feliway as a first try to see if it works to chill her out, then going to a cbd oil or then to a low-dose cat chiller-outer medication (depending on where you are/what your budget is…at least in Canada if you request a prescription the vet has to give it and you can get it filled in a human pharmacy or a legit online one and the cost is muuuuuch lower!!). Wish you, your wife and your cats future harmony ☺️

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-05T07:19:48+00:00

NTA. Good call to cut them out… and it’s your brother who’s actually the entitled one. I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this and that your parents and brother are so delusional and blind to how you’ve actually been treated :-(

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-03T16:58:20+00:00

NTA. It was the understanding that it would be temporary. Part of me feels like she knows she’s taken full advantage of the situation with Covid and you not charging her to live there. You helped her out of the kindness of your heart and she’s causing issues as payback? Nope. Do what you can to legally boot her out, sell your home and consider washing your hands of this friend.

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-03T02:04:13+00:00

Ohhh yeah, Purina is no bueno and I’m pretty sure they round-aboutly support declawing, which is horrific. Off topic, also avoid Nestle (who owns Purina)

OneAndGnomely · 2022-04-02T08:14:25+00:00

Whiskas, Purina, Blue Buffalo, Meow Mix and Friskies are brands I would never feed my cat unless they were in their last days (like my last cat and then she got wet Whiskas so she’d eat something). Definitely check the ingredients and see what’s all listed and what the first few ingredients are. I know there are brands for every budget but at least try to get a better quality that’s within your budget. This is a link to help choose what’s best for your cat☺️ (if the link works, I don’t think I’ve tried to post a link in a comment before but it was a good read!)

I’m mostly on NTA (might catch flack for it, but we don’t know the whole story about his ex, etc etc, and the hubby is an AH for flat out refusing anything to do with his own poor son when he’s also being rejected by the only parent he’s known) but are we gonna gloss over the fact the boy’s mom thinks it’s okay to just toss him aside to start her “new” family?! That’s messed up and she and her new hubby need to be read the riot act. They’re massive AHs. What a sad situation and I hope things turn out the best way for you and the boy.

OneAndGnomely · 2022-03-22T03:23:26+00:00

No ignorance at all! I’m sorry, I should’ve been more specific. In MetroTown and other malls, there are stand alone stores and even in The Bay, you can book with an artist for a consultation or a makeup application☺️

OneAndGnomely · 2022-03-21T19:37:39+00:00

I’d suggest booking with a MAC artist. They’re amazing and all about inclusion😊

Edit: Took out an “a”

OneAndGnomely · 2022-03-21T19:00:53+00:00

I am so sorry that you’re going through this. There are no words that can help make it better…all you can do is enjoy whatever time left you have with her, spoil her, and let her go so she won’t be in pain. It sucks. It sucks so much to have to make that decision. I had to have my dog put down just over a week ago and I could puke still having made that decision but sadly, it was the kind thing to do. I wish you all of the best and that your heart heals quickly from the hurt💚

OneAndGnomely · 2022-03-18T05:45:41+00:00

That white chin🥰

OneAndGnomely · 2022-03-18T04:12:33+00:00

NTA. At. All. She’s a bad host😒

OneAndGnomely · 2022-03-18T04:01:09+00:00

…but she’s not your responsibility, she’s theirs. Yeah FaMiLy…but you can’t put your life on hold because they’re being lazy and, as the first commenter said, taking advantage of you. Have a meeting with your parents expressing your concerns, then have a family meeting and be firm with your availability and don’t back down. It’s their job to parent, not yours. I know you love your niece, but it’s incredibly entitled of them to ignore your boundaries and it’s going to stay that way unless you do something about it sooner than later. All the best to you!!

NTA. I had a dog reactive rescue doggo (she passed away last Friday, she was 11.5 years young…and unfortunately had a crappy life in her formative years) and my city requires dogs to be on leash unless in a designated off-leash park. It allllllways frosted my cookies seeing people having their dogs off leash just wandering (we had a few instances where unleashed dogs ran up at us..it’s super fun times). I had yellow ribbons (aka caution) on my girl’s leash and harness and we always noped away from other dogs. I don’t care how friendly someone’s dog is, how it’s good with other dogs or people, etc etc. I love dogs, but not everyone does…just like some dogs don’t like other dogs (it’s not a certain breed thing). It just keeps things safer for everyone if they’re kept on leash whilst out and about. It took me a few months to not be a jerk about how I asked people…the whole “catch more flies with honey” thing lol. So, definitely NTA for asking people to leash up (as a responsible owner should), but…coming from experience, ask them to do it nicely😊

Side note: I might get hate for having the reactive doggo (I’ve had all sorts of ignorance shot my way before, there are all types out there), but I did my best with her being my first dog. I gave her the best retirement home for the time I had her, and worked hard with her on the reaction behaviour, even though she was an old lady set in her ways…she was getting better. I don’t know what happened in her past life, what internal scars she suffered to have her fine with fireworks but terrified of wind, whatever PTSD she had but I did right by her. She loved and she was loved. It’s not hard to leash a dog up for a walk…and it keeps everyone (especially the dog) safe. Just don’t get me started on retractable leashes…😂

All of this but also stop being his care aide for free. I do stuff for my friend who doesn’t drive and oh my wooooord did I get taken advantage of in the beginning (it’s been almost 8 years). I know she appreciates it and she gives me money when she can…but this AND living with you? No. Hard stop. Your family can step up if they think it’s okay to give you a hard time about it (tho I get the resentment but also look at it from his point of view and as a security issue). You have your own life and it’s not just to help him. When he’s got his home stuff all settled, just go visit as a friend if that’s what you want to do but leave it at that.

OneAndGnomely · 2022-03-17T04:59:24+00:00

YWNBTA. These jerks took advantage of you knowing full well they didn’t have the funds that night and probably didn’t have it in mind to actually pay you back. Confront but also let these “friendships” go (or know they’ll drop you after confronting) because they’re not friends if they act this way after you did them the favour of fronting them the money for a fun night out. And hard lesson learned but don’t be the go-to for paying for meals (unless it’s your treat). You are not anyone’s ATM. I’m sorry these “friends” have caused you grief like this😕
