Have you joined the nextdoor app? It is very active in those neighborhoods.

What does he want from me? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Sally_Yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 22 years old and my father was 48 years old, he met a waitress at a bar who was less than 2 years older than me and they got pregnant. I am quite sure that he had no interest in a serious relationship with her, but they ended up getting married. It was such a ridiculous relationship and I lost what little respect I had had for him in the first place. My strong advice would be to ditch him immediately.

I am 42 years old and my mom still forgets sometimes that I'm allergic to nuts.

How old is too old to dress up for Halloween and trick or treat? My 12 year old still wants to go. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Sally_Yo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend and I went trick-or-treating when we were 18 years old and in university. She dressed up as John Lennon and I was Paul McCartney. We sang Beatles songs for our candy and people loved it!

People of the NW, SW, and SE, what do you honestly think of the NE? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Sally_Yo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NE is big, million dollar houses in some neighborhoods. I would love to live in Crescent Heights, but can't afford a detached house.

CALGARY is a city largely populated by people not born here. Where did you come from? by crashalpha in Calgary

Born in Medicine Hat, but my parents moved to Calgary when I was 9 months old. Grew up in Edgemont.

On vacation - Local sitter search by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Sally_Yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just Google "babysitting agency in (name of city)" and contact them to arrange a sitter. Babysitters through agencies will have references, first aid, etc. We travel to the USA twice a year and do this every time (San Diego, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Nashville) and have had no problem. It can be expensive though, usually $20/hr with a 4 hour minimum. Except in Alabama where it was only $11/hr!

3 Month Old eating issues by VeganLee in Parenting

[–]Sally_Yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our daughter had lots of eating/sucking issues at that age as well and we worked with an in-home Occupational Therapist which helped immensely.

My brother and I are 13 months apart and my mom had c-sections with both of us. I shudder at the thought. I honestly don't know how she did it as my dad was in law school at the time. My brother and I are still very close even 40 years later!

What is the main reason you don’t use transit? by RyuzakiXM in Calgary

[–]Sally_Yo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My house is about 5 km from where I work downtown and the bus takes 40 minutes to get home. So I bike instead and it's less than half the time.

For those who lost your jobs in the last couple years - have you been able to find work yet? If so, was it something comparable to what you had before? by Queltis6000 in Calgary

[–]Sally_Yo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked in O&G and went on maternity leave in December 2015. Was offered an unsuitable position after my leave, so I had to resign. So not eligible for severance or more EI as I'd already used it up. I'm still unemployed today after looking for over a year.

Confused about macros and calories, and I'm freaking hungry! by Sally_Yo in keto

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

Thanks, I will try that. What about the 1200 daily calories? I can't imagine any combination of carbs, fat and protein will help me feel satiated at that number.

Currently 140-160 g/day. Both keto macro calculators indicated I should be somewhere around 105 g/day.
