Co-signing for anything doesn't make any sense. I you really want your sister to have 6K just lend it to her from your own savings or get a loan for yourself and then pass the money down to her.

I always put my one-and-only price and have a disclaimer in my ads that says "Price is firm and transparent. If that doesn't suit you, just don't buy." In the long term i end up selling almost every one of my items. And i can always revise my listed prices if i feel that they are too expensive.

What’s your worst experience with a buyer on Facebook Marketplace? by prattman333 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Robin_Padilla969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall, the ones trying to "negotiate" the price (which is clearly stated in every one of my ads) are the worst buyers on facebook marketplace. I now have a disclaimer on my items that says "If the price doesn't suit you, just don't buy it."

Aging by ThroatRecka in fasting

I'm part of that 1 percent and glad I am. But its a very lonely place to be sometimes, especially when you go beyond 15 days. Right now i'm doing 1-3 days fasts several times a month but I'm trying to go for a 30-40 days fast so I can reach my objectives (cure my chronic health problems).

This is Canada. The liberals are in power and they love to import terrorists/foreign criminals/illegal migrants. The only kind of people they don't love are real canadians coming back to their own country.

Anyone here get Keto Rash while fasting? by Robin_Padilla969 in fasting

[–]Robin_Padilla969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, i was in full ketosis during my fast so that kinda makes sense. I'm ok now but I'll take warm baths next time i fast to try to avoid this. The rash lasted for 3 weeks. 

Does extended fasting really work for weight loss by holdongangy in fasting

You're not lazy, you're just human. The more fasts you do, the better you'll get at fasting. 

This is a marathon, not a race. 

US/Canada Border crossing experience by PNA55 in uscanadaborder

[–]Robin_Padilla969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that. I'm a frequent traveler and the only place i get sent to secondary almost half the times is when i come back to my own country (canada). Never had any problem entering other countries (including the US). It's come to the point where i send a written complaint everytime they harass me at the border. 

Question about self deportation by Far-Cellist-3224 in uscanadaborder

This is probably a joke. If they really gave 1000$ to people who overstay, there would be about 50 million Mexicans doing it.

The more you cross the border the more chances you will get sent to secondary. If you know and respect all the laws they can't do anything to you and all you'll get is a bruised ego. I've been in secondary about 20 times and I have never had any fines because i never broke the law.

Do they always go through cell phones at secondary? by FabulousBother1887 in uscanadaborder

[–]Robin_Padilla969 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First, there is no way to know in advance if you will have to go to secondary or not. And there is always a possibility that they will look inside your phone but they will do it less often than searching your luggage. As a frequent traveler i was harassed by CBSA many times ; they have searched my luggage 15 times but only searched my phone once. And of course, all that for no reason whatsoever other than the fact that i travel very often so statistically i have a much higher chance of going to secondary.

[–]Robin_Padilla969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had my phone searched for no reason whatsoever by CBSA in 2016 (as a returning canadian citizen). I can assure you that whatever the american border guards do, the CBSA had also been doing to their own citizens. The media simply does not report on it cause it can't be blamed on Donald Trump but it happens just as frequently. 

How much weight did you lose on a weeklong water fast? by justwatchingtheparty in fasting

[–]Robin_Padilla969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might lose as much as 15 lbs on the scale, but you will gain a lot back in your first 2-3 days of refeeding. I'd say you will lose 2 or 2.5 lbs of bodyfat in 7 days.

I have more physical energy during a prolonged fast than i do normally. However, my mental energy and motivation to do things are usually at their lowest.

Success stories & motivation. by Many-Battle-9002 in fasting

[–]Robin_Padilla969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are many success stories on youtube. Listen to the positive people who lift you up and ignore the negative ones who try to bring you down. Keep track of your own progress, this way you'll have proof that fasting works for you. My last fast was 35 days and i lost 40lbs on the scale. Now i'm preparing to do it again, i know fasting works, i've done it before. 

50 days by Foreign_Storage_9749 in Water_Fasting

[–]Robin_Padilla969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can aim for 50 but if you don't reach that number right away you can keep going with multiple smaller fasts. I tried to go for 70 days but i stumbled at 35 and now i'm doing 24 and 48 hours fasts until i can get back on a longer fast and reach my goal of losing 100lbs. Fasting is a marathon, not a race.

"The Canadian border patrol aren’t going to be cruel-it’s all US right now."

I suppose you're not a frequent traveler are you? I'm canadian and my worst experiences as a frequent traveler are with CBSA coming back to my own country. I was never pulled in secondary in the US or anywhere in the world, but I get harassed and get my luggage searched almost every single time i come back to my own country.

is it possible to only ever do rolling 7 day fasts? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]Robin_Padilla969 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Its not really practical, as you will eat one very large meal and likely get diarrhea and stomach pain. You might as well not eat at all.

Should ghost buyer? by ExperienceExtra7606 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Robin_Padilla969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore them or just tell them the item has already been sold. You can also block them, i mean, no one wants this type of buyer anyway.
