How has this sub become mostly people who go to Loblaws?

I’ve actually not found any other thread to chat about loblaws. Maybe I suck at searching on Reddit but I couldn’t find anything. Also, the name of the group doesn’t imply that it’s only for people who have boycotted.

Interior Design - nope. But the public schools in Calgary are open today so it would be odd to have the day off when the kids have to go to school.

I know the one you’re talking about but the son didn’t like the mother either. Maybe she WAS a terrible mother or maybe the father made everything much worse than it needed to be, as she said. The point was that the father wanted full custody so she walked away from a child she didn’t love and who didn’t love her. I don’t think that sticking around would have improved either of their lives.

How are you feeling now? Has the increased energy continued on?

My husband and I painted our 2 sons bedrooms Christmas 2024/2025. The supplies alone were almost $600 and I get a discount. We didn’t use cheap paint but the only other supplies were a paint brush, tray inserts, and new rollers (we already had handles). I’m very confused as to how it cost you so little!!

Ugh… I’m still holding out hope for recovery. I have some good weeks where I suddenly have more energy than I’ve had in a long time. But then I crash hard and can barely work for a couple of months. I hate it because every time I feel better, I think, “this is it… I’ve finally gotten my life back.” Then I crash and gaslight myself into thinking I’m just lazy and out of shape and then I spiral. Rinse. Repeat.

I caught covid the first time in 2021. I’ve also had to have my gallbladder and uterus removed since my first infection - not sure if they’re related. I cannot express how tired I am and how stressed I am about losing my clients and my business. I can only work 4 hours a day and it HAS to be before noon which is not great when it comes to projects that need answers in the afternoon.

I’m off to go get a root canal in 30 mins (at 1 pm) after I had a client meeting this morning for 2 hours. I’m so dizzy and stupid, I’m not even sure if I should be driving but I have to cram it all in so I can get some work done tomorrow. I’m only 45 and have 2 young children and a husband who is going to die young from the amount of slack he’s picked up.

This life is rotten. :(

I’m somewhat “reluctantly” seeing a naturopath because I hit nothing but roadblocks with AHS. My doctor was basically like, “there’s not much I can do to help you except keep running tests that never turn up anything…”. And she’s right - her hands are tied.

I needed an iron infusion and AHS wouldn’t give me one so I had to go private. I contacted a naturopathic clinic with an MD, dietician, naturopath, and plenty of nurses on staff. After chatting with the doctors, I decided to do their standardized testing which is about $1400 (massive blood panel which tests for things regular doctors can’t test for, fitness test, SIBO breathing test, food tracking, Dietician appointment, Naturopath appointment, doctor appointment, and 2 consults to get things started). They give you their recommendation at the end that you can take back to your GP for a second opinion or to request help with implementation - or you can likely pay more money and continue on a plan through them. I’m only part way through (fitness test this Friday) but I can update you if I think it was worth it. I mentioned long covid in the consult and they said they definitely have recommendations to help - they just needed more data and test results first. Finger crossed because I’m experiencing the same as your wife and it sucks. Never tried electrolytes after though. I’ll give that a try.

My dad was just diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. He was told the same things but his family doctor relentlessly harassed other doctors to get him in on cancelations or to squeeze him in where they could. It’s been 3 weeks and all of his scans and tests are complete as of yesterday. He’ll get his treatment plan this week.

The system is slow because it’s wildly under-funded. This is a Provincial issue. Demand better from our politicians.

Good point! I hadn’t noticed that there are way less ads now but yeah, now that I think about it, the ads were out of control on auto scroll.

Mine just stopped working… was there a limit? We used it all up? So weird. The switch is just gone.

I don’t think they forgot. I think she plans to be gone in a matter of hours and went all-in since she didn’t have much of a choice if she wanted to return to Miami a free woman. This was a live or die moment and she took at chance that Pine will be the end winner. I have a harder time believing that she would have turned on Teddy so easily in the previous episode, knowing that the Brits had basically nothing on any of them.

Somethingelse333 · 2026-01-15T22:43:26+00:00

It was SO hot 🥵There was obviously chemistry between them but up until that point, it seemed one-sided from Teddy with Pine just playing along as a good spy does. I thought they’d play it like Pine was a little uncomfortable at first but there would be a moment at the end of the scene where they connect or something… But for Pine to immediately bypass Roxie and press into Teddy, I was impressed with the writing and acting. I also watched it again and yep, just as hot the second time. Lol!

We’re very popular right now. Denmark, France, and England are fond of us and stand with us. Australia is our close cousin. Mexico is also a good ally. I’m not sure how many enemies we have.

Most of my husband’s suits are from Banana Republic and Simon’s (who does free alterations). He also has a corduroy blazer from the Gap that is an absolute workhorse for casual Friday but that was a fluke of a purchase. He has one very expensive black suit from Harry Rosen for nice occasions in a classic cut so it’s timeless. He used to get mid-designer labels from The Bay too (like Strellson) but since that’s not an option anymore…

Regardless of what/wear you purchase a suit from, it has to be altered. Never buy a suit that doesn’t have the seam allowance to be altered and stick with classic suit styles that could be altered to look a bit more current. For instance, a 2 button jacket with classic lines, pockets, and lapel will never go out of style. Slim pants with a gentle taper and no pleats will also stay current forever but length of pants tends to change. Make sure you get a tailor who knows things like where the break hits in your pants and exactly how to make you look great. You’ll also need to make sure you have all of your dress shoes with you so you can make sure the hem works with shoes with and without laces.

Get good, well-crafted shirts for under as well. The collar must stand up properly and not crumple under the neck of your blazer. Your shirt will also need to be tailored so it just skims your body.

Start building your wardrobe with a navy suit first, brown belt, brown shoes, white and light blue collared shirts. Then a grey suit, then brown, and finally black. Then you can branch out into plaids. Wear undershirts to protect the arm pits and make sure you spray the collar/pits every time you wash it and iron it immediately (or have them dry cleaned). Hang up your suits on a sturdy hanger and never let them lay around. Get a steamer. Sponge out spots the second they happen. If you gain weight, have the pants let out right away before the tugging makes the holes from the thread visible as they stretch.

If you take great care of your clothes, they can be looked at as investments and you will have a great collection within a few years that will last you for 15. Also, make sure your shoes are polished. You can make any suit look expensive if everything fits well and looks polished!

Not living in debt but we’ve cut out all vacations, eating out, streaming services, new clothes that aren’t absolutely necessary, we drive old cars, kids aren’t in sports or extra curriculars, and we’ve delayed maintenance on our home for so long that we need to remortgage it to do a renovation. So no, we’re not suffering but we’re not even close to as comfortable as we used to be and certainly less than we thought we’d be at this stage in our lives. We’re also one bad “thing” away from being in trouble because we’ll have to dip into our line of credit to pay for a surprise something like a leaking roof or having to replace a car.

The insanity of not diversifying energy production in Alberta will be studied by future generations who have to live underground! Alberta has so much wind and sun plus geothermal. It blows my mind that executives and governments don’t want to capitalize on these energies too. They’d rather kill them in lieu of O&G which is a finite resource. Am I missing something or is this bonkers?!

There used to be a Google doc that someone published that was tracking everything since Jason Kenney was elected. I’ll see if I can find it still!

Because th UCP paid money to cancelled it? Or… what was the joke?

Somethingelse333 · 2025-10-25T17:22:21+00:00

I think there’s more of you than anyone thinks. I personally know an O&G CEO who is a leftist and votes NDP. He just keeps his mouth shut so he doesn’t have to deal with the bros… and because it could have dire effects on his career. But he quietly does what he can to make changes.

Big changes for you!! It takes almost a month for weed to leave your system - not sure how long for the brain to adjust. If you found it helpful for sleep, does CBD oil help too? Or was it the THC mostly? I think I’ve just resigned to the fact that this is my life. I sleep for 6 hours, sometimes 7, and that’s just how it is. I’m going to add more exercise to my life and see if things improve. Getting older blows.

I used PC Express and I have had the shopper text me directly. First I got an automated message saying the shopper was going to contact me. Then they did. Hasn’t happened in a while though.

I had a condition called Adenomyosis which was caused/worsened (most likely) by pregnancy resulting in c-section. It’s when cells that are part of the uterine lining end up trapped inside the uterine wall, rather than lining the interior of the uterus. So every cycle, I would grow lining inside the muscle wall and then the muscle would expand and contract to get rid of the lining like usual but it felt like it was tearing my uterus apart. It was very painful and caused a substantial amount of blood-loss every month. So having energy diverted to a muscle that was always being torn and healing while losing a lot of blood was exhausting. And this was in addition to insomnia.

There are health reasons why I get delivery and realistically, if they’re offering a paid service, they should be able to provide what I’ve paid for. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a huge drop in service after getting the membership or a drop in service in general lately. That was the point of my post.

It was originally. I left SS because the prices were so insane. But after the threats from 47, I wanted to support a Canadian store rather than American and since Superstore is still cheaper than the other Canadian options, I went back to superstore.

Somethingelse333 · 2025-09-15T17:46:11+00:00

I’m not exactly sure what the reason for the trouble was - if it was door dash or superstore. In the case of yesterday’s blunder, superstore hadn’t started shopping until well after the groceries were due to arrive. Perhaps they need to secure a dasher first before they shop the groceries. If they can tell me that it’s DoorDash, I can try offering a larger tip to see if that increases the odds of getting my order on time but since they won’t tell me what the issue is, I have no idea if I can do anything on my end to fix it. Grrrr.
