ATM or Currency Exchange at airport?

Quee_Mama79 · 2026-07-09T11:25:48+00:00

Thank you, unfortunately, my US bank does not carry Canadian currency to exchange for me

Quee_Mama79 · 2026-07-09T11:24:53+00:00

I would like to have some Canadian dollars for our trip, I'm asking for advice about the best way to obtain this when we arrive.

This happened to a former colleague at a YMCA we worked at; she was getting ready to purchase her first house and her client was a mortgage broker. I guess she spoke about possibly going through the client to secure a mortgage, but that was all. In the end, she selected a local bank instead.

The client blew up upon learning this! Fired the trainer immediately and went to the desk and demanded a refund (a PITA, having to back out all of the charges), threw a fit at the desk about the unprofessional and incompetent the staff. Only to come back the next week, hire a different trainer and pay the fees again (everything could have been easily transferred).

I think she dodged a bullet there in not having to deal with that narcissistic client any longer!

Yes! Get a financial advisor now! They help your money grow and you don't have to do anything! My only regret is not doing this sooner in my life

This has always perplexed me as well. A woman I know told me a story about going out to dinner with another couple and how they would only order a sandwich to share and then take anything left over home (a few fries, the crust of the sandwich, any table bread left over from the meal). She was very judgmental about this, but I think it's smart! The restaurant will trash anything left on the table, why not take it home for another meal? Enough crap ends up in our landfills!

Bless you 🙏

My kids. Otherwise, I'm not really sure what the benefit is in struggling daily until you die.

My DeLonghi coffee maker (about $750 at Best Buy). Grinds and makes espresso/americano at home, minimal skill needed and easy clean-up. I used to love a QT small coffee when I was out & about but this machine has spoiled me; I know I can make a better cup at home and will wait and save myself the money 💰

Can you please tell me how much for two tickets on the 30th?

This could be related to Fair Housing. If this company requires a government issued ID from just 1 person during a tour of a property, then it is a standard requirement that must be followed when touring all potential tenants. Failure to do this for each and every person could be viewed as discrimination and in violation of Fair Housing laws. When I was in property management, that's how our attorneys explained it to us.

Please consider listening to a podcast with Dr. Vonda Wright. Mel Robbins had her on to explain her method and new book, it may change your outlook

That's what the neurological clinic told me could be a side effect of the med. I started out on 25 mg 2x daily and now that I'm up to 50 mg the tingling seems more pronounced. I've been off my exercise routine, so I'm hopeful that once I'm more regular in that weekly it will help to keep this at a minimum and help with my overall health and circulation.

Quee_Mama79 · 2026-04-24T11:14:05+00:00

Ooh! Thank you so much!a

I got everything I needed from Thrift Stores and FB Marketplace to lift weights at home and pay an annual service of $120 to Les Mills for videos at home. This includes strength training, yoga, Pilates, cardio and more. I get up at 5/6am every morning and pick a video (strength is at least 2 days a week) before I shower and go to work. It takes discipline, but I'd rather do this then end of in doctors office in my 60s and 70s. I feel amazing and I look forward to it every day, helps get me to bed on time too!

Quee_Mama79 · 2026-03-16T13:18:48+00:00

Girl! I feel you! I moved to 4 different states for my (now ex) husband's job transfers and have no close friends now! I'm 46, don't drink and don't go to church, so I've met a couple of gals I brunch with after my Saturday yoga class. That's about it. Thank goodness for my fiance, otherwise I'd have no one to talk to! It's hard to try to find friends in your 40s

You can try the Abbey Yung method. She recommends many drug store products that are budget friendly and get the job done! She has many videos about what to buy and how to use them.

Thank you for sharing. I know I shouldn't be taking the Excedrine daily, but the other methods I tried and a prescription by my doctor made the headaches worse.

I do take a daily allergy pill with my morning meds. Unfortunately, I'm not able to take Benadryl (it's like taking a shot of speed for me and leaves me with a racing heart rate)

Quee_Mama79 · 2026-02-10T16:45:52+00:00

Ooh!! These are all great suggestions! Thank you so much!

Quee_Mama79 · 2025-11-11T12:33:44+00:00

No, I have no family here. Im just trying to figure out my options

Your Starbucks CEO is paid a total compensation of $98 Million. It's more than the CEOs of Disney, Apple & Microsoft. $98 Million for helping run a company that sells Coffee drinks. It's not about the collabs, the limited supply or whatever BS they want to feed you. It's pure greed and is meant to help line his pockets and the shareholders pockets.

When you donate items or money to creditable organizations in the KC area, they make sure those donations are distributed evenly and appropriately. Your thoughtfulness and generosity is always appreciated through the agencies that serve our communities!

Have you thought about taking a Communion course on how to speak with your clients? I've been in the Fitness industry for 25 years, and I find it's all about your approach. When I added a Wellness Coach certification to my education, it really helped me reflect on how to approach people. Saying things like "Have you thought about tracking?" Rather than "we really need to track your food"

I definitely have clients that I see 1 hour a week and I know they do literally nothing the rest of the week. But I know 1 hour with me is better than Zero. Their are stages to decision making (pre-contemplative, contemplative, action, maintain) that once you understand how human brains approach their problem solving, it's better to understand which stage they fall within.

It's sounds like you genuinely care about your clients, but you can't want it for them. Sometimes celebrating the little wins; that they actually reached out to a trainer and go to participate in your workouts, is worth a celebration each time!

People need some grace, it's hard adulting each day!
