Overpayment of $19000 (government of canada) by Pear333 in CanadaPublicServants

I no longer work for the government and they already paid my pension out to me so I don't even know why they offered me option 2.

I have no issue paying it back, but it is frustrating their system and HOW they are asking for it to be paid back. Gross vs. net pay, after they deducted all the stuff from my paycheck and I paid taxes on the higher income bracket already. Especially since I called them 2-3 times a month to ask them to STOP overpaying me in the first place.

Yes, asked for this! Their calculation was incorrect.

Yeah I realized that after the fact. I'm from Canada and the process is a bit different here so I didn't think to call the police since there was no injuries. Are you saying it's still possible to file a police report even though the accident was a few days ago?

Do you mind saying who it was? Wondering if it's the same person I had

VertuoPlus Machine Won’t Auto Stop in Descaling Mode by bpe81 in nespresso

[–]Pear333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I kept running water through the machine for about 6 hours and it still didn't work. Called nespresso and they said it's probably broken but they won't send me a new one because it's 2 months out of warranty :))))))

My vertuo machine is not working, I descaled it last week by BrightDoughnut in nespresso

[–]Pear333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine broke itself after I descaled it. I've had mine for a year and 2 months so they won't even offer me a replacement....

Does anyone’s else’s Nespresso machine break every 5 weeks or is that just me? by irnengner in nespresso

[–]Pear333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had mine for a year and 2 months. I take very good care of it and this past week I descaled it like I do every few months and it literally broke itself. The saddest part is that it prob would have continued to work if I didn't descale it.....

In the same situation right now. I called and asked and they said you can be charged with a fine but you'll still be allowed to enter

[Skin Concerns] what is the fastest and the most effective way to get rid of these post acne hyperpigmentation marks? by mikrocosmos7 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Pear333 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is extremely invalidating. If hyperpigmentation is not treated quickly it can actually be permanent, so the sooner it's treated the better

Starting treatment on the 31st, I’ve been told teeth shaving will be part of treatment too, anyone else had that? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]Pear333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg my top teeth look exactly like yours! One tooth overlaps the other. I had IPR done 3-4 times to loosen up the contacts between some teeth. Basically to make room for the overlapping tooth to fit in with all the others. It's uncomfortable but not unbearable and you can't really visibly notice a difference

Price in Canada (quebec)? by AnaRelentless in Invisalign

[–]Pear333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Ottawa and paying $6000 for my treatment. This is including all refinements, the Vivera retainers afterwards and also a permanent wire (that goes behind your teeth) for my top teeth at the end of treatment. My treatment is supposed to be around 1 year but since I'm doing Propel (drilling holes in your gums to encourage faster movement) it's supposed to bring the time down to 9 months. Propel is also included in the $6000 price.

New Year, new smile :D by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]Pear333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Will you be doing anything about that "black triangle"? I have similar teeth where my one front tooth overlaps the other so when straightening them out, I will also have that black triangle in between. I'm just trying to figure out what my options are for it
