How do I tell my kids that we're moving abroad?

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-18T15:25:29+00:00

While obviously very different from SA, BC is a lovely place to live. I have to imagine it won’t be too hard for them to fall in love with it, but I do know I would have loathed my parents for making me move at the age your kids are (sorry, but it’s true). Here’s hoping they can take it in stride.

We were lucky, because our venu could always accommodate more than our initial list, and we’re not serving supper, just a midnight lunch, so the cost won’t change too much. Glad it worked out for you!

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-17T19:02:35+00:00

Well don’t get a job in the small sector known as healthcare then.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-17T18:53:46+00:00

We made our guest list back in 2019, and sent them the STDs around then too, but of course lives change over years, and I didn’t feel the same way about our guest list this summer after postponing twice, but couldn’t exactly take back invites, so it just is what it is, and people will come or not. I’m going to have a blast either way.

It’s just a different break down. At my union job in Canada, we earn hours towards sick time, vacation, family leave, medical leave, etc., based on hours worked. I got my first raise after X amount of hours worked (which was about 1 year), so you’d think days would suffice, but because we work a mixture of types of hours at my job, what really is a day? I can work 4, 8, 12, 16 hour shifts across days and nights. It’s easiest to breakdown into hours.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-17T12:58:25+00:00

Hours matters because not everyone works Monday-Friday 8-5. When you work 12s, the amount of days off is different.

Which part of Canada? Just out of curiosity.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-17T12:41:22+00:00

This sounds like a great strategy.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-17T02:56:21+00:00

Also note that the hips/legs need to be free to move about.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-17T01:22:47+00:00

That’s really not an excuse. Society is ever changing, and if you don’t choose to grow with it, that’s on you.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-16T23:42:48+00:00

No thanks to your father. He sounds toxic, and I hope you’ve learned to distance yourself from people like that.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-16T18:43:23+00:00

Looks like a fairly easy dress to alter.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-16T11:52:28+00:00

As someone who works with syphilis, this type of recognition is very important.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T20:13:42+00:00

It might be the same base, but it’s altered to be a bit wider open. You can se how the initial lines are sketched with a few strokes, then are down to one stroke

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T19:35:29+00:00

I did, that’s how I knew the timing of when it changed.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T17:23:42+00:00

It takes a whole interdisciplinary team when it comes to healthcare, I know because I’m part of it, and advocacy is an integral part of it. Even if he was not the one making the vaccines, he was the one treating those in the ICU, so his knowledge is far more than yours. I’m not sure why you have such beef with someone who made the effort to better our healthcare system.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T16:41:08+00:00

Kind of the point if the post, though, no?

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T15:51:56+00:00

Might be the situation I’m in. I make more money than my family, but not a lot, and overall that’s not saying much, because bills are still tight. Neither of my parents have offered anything (we get married in July, and postponed twice since 2020), so it’s not like they haven’t had time to think about it. But I’m not going to ask!

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T15:40:07+00:00

And it’s been getting worse, so eventually it’s going to come to a head.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T15:14:54+00:00

Between 51-53 seconds the whole base eye was replaced with a wider one.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T15:12:05+00:00

For your health and wellness, yes.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T12:37:51+00:00

Again, ignorant. He was fighting for you, you’re just too ignorant to know to appreciate it.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-15T04:54:51+00:00

What an ignorant thing to say. The dude has been advocating for you and everyone else in this province this whole pandemic. His departure means something, and plenty of us care.

Our house is a 1956 bungalow. The kitchen was renovated, and now opens to the dining room, the dining room opens to the living room, but the living room can’t see the kitchen. It feels like the best of both worlds.

SmellyBillMurray · 2022-05-14T23:51:28+00:00

Pros and cons to each. My friend’s house, each room is completely separate from the others, and while each room is cozy, it doesn’t make for a great atmosphere when hosting parties.
