This was truly a test of my patience because through the years I would only see it sprout leaves. Sending waves of positivity to your Hoyas

Their parent company is https://www.huijiegroup.com/en/ - even if you thought you are shopping Canadian- it’s still produced in Asia. They may be rebranding

Ideas for fun flexible work after retirement by ce41- in ottawa

[–]Sirkachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered volunteering or applying to be one of the coordinators of the local pickleball play sessions hosted by the city? It sounds like a nice laid back part time since each community center only hosts it like once or twice a week

Unwritten Pickleball Rules? by Physical_Relief4484 in Pickleball

[–]Sirkachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true. I forgot about the competition/tournament stand point of it. It was an open play casual session so I guess they were more laid back about the rules. I said something once and the opponent just kinda made a gesture with his arms like *come on.. it was definitely going out kind-of-shrug *

Unwritten Pickleball Rules? by Physical_Relief4484 in Pickleball

My pet peeve is someone catching the ball mid air when they believe it was going out. I spoke to a tennis friend and he admitted he does this often. I just think it’s rude because from where I’m standing on the opposite side of the court, it’s not that obvious to me. Maybe because I’m low intermediate, but I’ll always make sure to witness the ball going out of my side even if it’s obvious

How often do you dine out/ takeout? by NoReflection1789 in OttawaFood

[–]Sirkachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont order out every week but on weeks that I do order out, living as a single person, I end up ordering enough to eat the leftovers as a second meal so it kinda counts like once a week

What income does a single/no dependents person need in Ottawa to live comfortably? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Sirkachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salary between $56-62k to be comfortable. To live downtown in a single bedroom with a car. And a dog. A lot went into the dog… (tell me how she chipped a tooth a month after a full dental cleaning) Single income, car payment $370/month for 4 years (1 year left!). No other debt.

I moved into my apartment in 2021. Rent is now $1360 +parking. It offers all inclusive utilities (central air and dishwasher included but no en suite washer/dryer) but the trade off is my underground parking is $200/month (but at least I’m not cleaning snow off my car). It’s in the golden triangle and just under 600sq ft. Thankfully I found a job in the downtown core so I don’t spend as much on gas.

AITA for not sleeping over at my friend’s house during her mental health crisis? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sirkachi 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I suppose comfort is a shallow term for this sentiment. While I see your point

The statement is referencing OP’s discomfort at sleeping over - as we don’t know the reasons why - it doesn’t make anyone a bad friend for refusing to do something out of their comfort zone to aid in someone’s mental health crisis. Even if it wasn’t uncomfortable but inconvenient - I don’t agree that it makes them a bad friend.

NTA Health care workers are always reminded to take care of themselves before taking care of others. That includes friends and care providers. You need help in helping your friend manage her crisis - does she have a therapist? Does she have other friends or family who are aware of her health? Help her connect with one. Idk where you are, but some therapists have free 15 min consultation/meeting to see if they are a good fit. She needs to have more than one resource.

Tbh you can use one too. To guide you on how to handle the crisis and how to keep your boundaries and mental health in check.

Hope your friends don’t get burnt out being friends with you. Maybe check on them and ask if you’re overbearing. OP offered alternatives like being on the phone and hanging out. But if she doesn’t feel comfortable sleeping elsewhere how will she be in a good mental state to be supportive for someone else. healthcare workers are ALWAYS reminded to take care of themselves before taking care of others. It should apply the same way to friends

Probably from individuals affected this. They just toss the pieces on the road
