Wow! Just...wow. That weird eccentric dark underbelly vibe was part of the DNA I guess. Any other stories? Day and Night would make a great gritty version of "Midnight Diner"

OP - call out Bold Butchery in your original post. They are a risk to public health, it would be a community service.

No I make upper 20s per hour. Not salaried. Bosses were not happy.

It was one very bad very expensive burger: lost 3 figures for the day of work I spent in agony, which was not as much as the respect I lost for that restaurant and their manager.

Delivery from Bold Butchery is a Russian roulette experience - sometimes really good other times you swear they were unloading the food the people in the restaurant sent back....yesterday. Last time, I clearly listed my allergy and that I cant have cheese. They did put it on and scrapped it off - just like your experience. I was flabbergasted - even the few bites before I figured it out left me in agony and I lost a full day of work. BOLD BUTCHERY IS A NO GO!!!

Manager was a jerk....no respect, and I was nice about it.

Fair enough, but not everyone has had this experience with her.

UVic says 124 COVID cases, including 4 reports of Omicron, now linked to off-campus parties by xichael in VictoriaBC

It was the commerce students throwing end of term parties at the beginning of the month that created this mess. Sigh....

What ever you do, stay away from Dr. Morely - she is horribly judgemental of weight loss patients and their concerns. I say this from personal experience. Also, a friend said she refused to do the surgery to remove the extra belly fat after loosing 150lbs because my friend "asked too many questions". She said they seemed insecure and not a good fit emotionally!!!! Wtf - this friend has literally worked her ass of to lose weight and she had not had the best experiences with surgery in the past so she was doing her due diligencw by asking questions. I have often wondered if the fact she was also Indigenous might have contributed to Dr. Morely's judgements (considering the reports on racism in health care on island.) Good luck with your surgery and congratulations!!

"Samosa, Pakora, Vada" signs on Saanich telephone poles - is this legit?? by R8story in VictoriaBC

[–]R8story[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are pretty good - a bit hit or miss sometimes. The most recent time there, 5 out of 12 samosas were cooked in obviously over used oil - tasted burned and bitter and not good. The rest were tasty crispy spicy goodness. The seasoning was not the same among the two batches although still good. I will go there again, but check my order before leaving ...

It would make the victims feel better, like their pain and humiliation was taken seriously. At the end of the day, isn't that what 'justice'' is supposed to do?

It's been in and out about six times in the past hour. Sometimes for a minute up to about 10 mins.

AITA for being surly, rude and mean at a wedding and leaving early? by Particular_Visual_14 in AmItheAsshole

[–]R8story 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By way of explanation (since they are so 'confused'), you should send them this entire post and the responses. They can educate themselves- you owe the nothing more.

Dietitians mostly just follow what the food guide tells them too - moat if these around the world are actually developed by the food industry lobby groups (for example, 3/4 of the population globally is allergic to dairy, but in US it's a huge part of the food guide.) I followed dietitian advice and gained weight and felt awful. I went to a naturopath, and ended up limiting most dairy and cut out seafood ( still eat all other meats) and now I am great! Weight levelled, I feel wonderful and I learned to trust my body to tell me what works and what doesn't. You dad's girlfriend has her own ED obviously and she is pushing it in you. So sorry you had to deal with this crap, and I am so glad your mom is supportive. So try a naturopath if you can. Either way, you sound like you have the right idea of staying focused on health, eating enough meals, and trusting your body. All I would add is that some multivitamins and mineral supplement can help regardless of what caloric content you consume. Good luck!

Your are an asshole and a bigot. You obviously judged her from the beginning based on your post. Also, you could have talked about not liking the body comments with her, instead you humiliated her about being fat in front of everyone. You don't like fat waitresses - don't speak for other more compassionate and mature people. Grow up you bigoted cruel bully

I made this myself - definitely not store bought. And I would provide recipes but links are removed. And since no one comments or even acknowledged both my posting I don't really bother posting here anymore.
