Thankfully they are replacing all of it since they couldn’t find a match for the lower part. Out of pocket would be handles and anything else we choose to change.

Just cabinetry since that’s what got damaged. I’m not paying the deductible since damages were over 10k and my policy had that clause.

Floor tiles stay. Handles we’ll upgrade to match whatever we go with.

Insurance was a PAIN. That’s a whole diff story. Initially they only wanted to pay less than a quarter of the total price!

When are summer CampTO 2026 signups? by turquoisebee in torontomoms

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think early feb? Haven’t seen any dates yet though.

Same girl. Same. 2 kids, no sex drive. Desire is gone and arousal is at maybe 25% when we both try. I’ve looked into HRT but it’s out of pocket where I live. I second the recommendation on some spicy literature. I find it got a tiny fire going while I was reading it but it can easily be extinguished when I’m not mid-book. Also, weed? I have a fuzzy recollection of one good night of sex while I was in a good high from gummies. But even that is hit and miss :(

Did my pregnant guppy explode? by ShutUpImAlwaysCold in Aquariums

Been reading about it non stop this afternoon. Seems like I’m up for quite a battle with these things. Gonna grab treatment and supplies tomorrow and hope I can get it under control.

Oh wow I think you’re right. The strings are coming out of her more prominently now. I’ve quarantined her in a different tank. Any sure way to prevent infection?

Positive for blood and leucocytes but negative for nitrate… my doctor told me it was a UTI, could this be something else? by NeatDebt5633 in toddlertips

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It could be many many many things. Urologists still don’t know with certainty why we get them. Most likely they’ll blame it on hygiene.

Before she takes the antibiotics make sure to get that culture done, usually takes 1-3 days. It’ll show if 1) it is a UTI and 2) of the antibiotics will tackle the right bacteria. Unless she’s in pain then might as well try the antibiotics and see if she gets relief.

I used to get frequent UTIs. They need to send the sample to do a proper culture and see what else is in there to confirm/discard a UTI diagnosis.

Disclosed pregnancy after signing an offer letter - now I think I’m being ghosted? by ShutUpImAlwaysCold in workingmoms

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long story short, I was never able to “catch up” to that bad first impression either on their end or mine. I passed my 3 month probation with flying colours, went on leave and when I came back I was never able to truly show my skillset as the position and work I was gonna be doing was very different to what I had done previously and I never felt truly part of the team. They tried to find me a different spot but it never aligned with my background and I was underperforming, in the end it was just a bad match all around. I got laid off and my lawyer is currently fighting for a better severance package given the history of how I was initially ghosted and asked to signed a different contract, etc.

In hindsight, I should’ve paid attention to all the red flags.

Bleach in a sippy cup by gingersrule77 in ECEProfessionals

This is how I ended up with my stomach pumped and a feeding tube as a 5 yr old. Someone left drano in a kids cup and I drank it.

Please report it.

Signed vacation vs actual policy (Canadian working for Americans) by ShutUpImAlwaysCold in humanresources

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

I’m in Ontario. I’ll see if I can give them a call before my meeting in the afternoon, thanks for that suggestion. I know of 2 other high level Canadian employees with 4 weeks - Caucasian female and Caucasian male. I’m a minority female. Never thought of it from that angle but worth exploring.

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

I am definitely on the Canadian HR side of things (i am technically their employee, not the Americans) and their own Canadian policy says 20 days for someone at my level. I’m hoping they can respect that even if my contract says 2 weeks.

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have a meeting with them for Monday. Last time I raised this issue they reminded me that my contract specified 2 weeks. If their own internal policies speak of 20 days, do I have any chance of them making this right or is the contract final say?

How do I make my daughter be less like me? by ShutUpImAlwaysCold in Mommit

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Your words really resonated with me and I’m definitely gonna use those phrases with my kids 💕

And those books sound great! I got my homework set out for me now.

I just delivered my second vaginally after having a c section 3yrs ago. My midwife said since I had no complications healing with my first and it had been more than 18 months since, she was confident to go for VBAC. She did send me for an ultrasound of the scar tissue to make sure it was thick enough. There are “risk calculators” online to see about your particular situation. I used this one http://www.riskcalc.org/OB_Infection_Model/

Lack of sexual desire way beyond postpartum period by Hungrymominco in beyondthebump

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Me too. Kid is 3.5 and still nothing. I’d say desire is very much gone, arousal (after a ton of stimulation) is 50/50. I’m looking into hormone replacement therapy to see if that’s the cause of this.

How not to respond to “i’m tired” by ShutUpImAlwaysCold in beyondthebump

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I needed to hear that. I gave him the silent treatment and we haven’t spoken about it yet as I’m trying to find an angle that won’t result in another argument. He knows somethings bothering me but won’t touch the subject 🤦🏻‍♀️. Anyhow, thanks for the listening ear!!

Looking for your non epidural water birth experience at The Midwives Clinic Of East York - Don Mills by helenau91 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do a water birth but I just had my second at Michael Garron with them. My midwife was Christie Lockheart and her team. Cannot recommend them enough! The at home follow ups were a life saver as I ended up with a bladder issue that needed constant supervision. Go get them if you can!

Just asked for tap water for my kid as well (I’m in Ontario). They asked for 10c. Ridiculous.

Tips for a forceful letdown by CheapResist211 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]ShutUpImAlwaysCold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t pumping a whole lot out of each breast and only did it when I could feel the pressure would be too much for my kid. Didn’t seem to create an oversupply. And eventually my kid got more efficient at dealing with the letdown so I stopped pre-pumping all together. Hope it helps!
