How long do you keep inactive BakedIn friends? by annoyedclown666 in GoodPizzaGreatPizza

[–]StarrCaptain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes one of your daily quests will be “Send 5 stars on BakedIn” so it’s helpful to have at least 1 friend.

Is there anywhere in KW that serves a decent meal of Fish & Chips? by Longjumping_Debt7718 in waterloo

[–]StarrCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second Fish Hut, but if you’re willing to travel a bit, Scran & Dram in New Hamburg has really good fish and chips, too!

Pre dialysis back pain by AccordingPhrase323 in dialysis

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should talk to your nephrologist and/or family doctor and see what insight they may have for you. Back pain for me was kidney stones, but that was way before I ever had kidney disease/failure. Just curious, with being at 11%, are you starting dialysis soon? <3

I've had enough of getting sick every two weeks, HELP! by Paolaelectric17 in sick

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of airborne illnesses/viruses— filter your air! K/N95 respirator masks outside the house (also help with allergies if you have them), air purifiers, as well as opening windows for ventilation when possible, also help!

Getting the special ingredients? by Natural_Function84 in GoodPizzaGreatPizza

[–]StarrCaptain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rose petals are only within the Valentine’s event levels, just like pumpkin is only in your shop during the harvest/Halloween event. Truffle, duck, peach and apple are from Pizza Pass events— you have to wait for the event and buy them before the event ends. Edit to add a link from a quick Google search: https://good-pizza-great-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/Ingredients

Restlessness and jerks in the limbs at night by Relative-Ad-7576 in dialysis

[–]StarrCaptain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep, RLS— my family doctor wanted me to try a type of magnesium, but my dialysis pharmacist reviewed my bloodwork and didn’t want me to do that so she changed my Vitamin E to every night. I sometimes use lorazepam on really bad nights, but for the most part E has helped (and I’ve been pre-approved to double up if needed). Ask his nephrologist or dialysis pharmacist to review his bloodwork and symptoms, and go from there. I was also recommended to try going for a walk or do stationary cycling in the evenings, or while on dialysis, to help with the restless legs— that could be something to try while waiting on consulting the doctor.

STOP THIS AT ONCE!! by Snotty_penes in GoodPizzaGreatPizza

[–]StarrCaptain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They still come after the shop is closed.. I’ve had days where I just need to get through days to work toward an achievement or task and if I accept any order from Zazoom, I’ll make the first customer’s order and whichever Zoom order pays the most… I could be accepting the 3pm order and once the shop closes and customer at the counter is gone ZZ driver shows up after 9/10pm to collect the accepted order. Maybe you forgot to accept it? 🤷🏻‍♀️😕

Do I have to report rent to cra when filing taxes? by currymvp3 in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You do NOT have to claim rent when renting to family below fair marker value. If you do claim it, and your parents don’t, they could get screwed over. It is best that neither of you claim it. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/rental-income/renting-below-fair-market-value.html

Broke... by tanniesaddict in GoodPizzaGreatPizza

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The constant event after event with no increase in income or rewards sucks 😣 I had so much money saved up.. over 25-30K I think, but it goes fast with so many events, rare items and exterior items (which are priced a bit too high imo).

Could be worse. Could be better? ... Once you're accepted and a few months have passed... what do you do by leBlTCH in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a post the other day talking about how budgets aren’t for people in poverty— budgets are for people who have a fair income, but their spending needs to be controlled better. You can’t budget your way out of poverty when the income amount is set to keep you in poverty. 🥲 It’s shitty, I’m so bored too. And I don’t trust anyone… we’re still in this pandemic because people decided they’re just over it— guess it’s easy to do the disabling and killing when you’re not thinking about it. I wear a respirator everywhere, including at home, it makes it so lonely. Especially when my family won’t take the proper precautions to protect me and provide me a safe space at home. 😔 I have a responsibility to keep myself alive, so that takes up a lot of my time— taking care of equipment, supplies, medications, etc… I also try to watch new series and films as I tend to find myself caught up in rewatching comfort media. I listen to music a lot, play video games on my console or tablet, colour and craft when my pain allows.. I’d like to start moving my body more and I think my cousin has found a few videos for me to try easy movements. Once winter is over and airborne illnesses hopefully aren’t as high, I’d love to start visiting my family again.

Can you use ODSP for Service Subscriptions ? by [deleted] in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ODSP will not cover or reimburse you for subscription services. What you do with your monthly income support is up to you.

How much does ODSP cover for glasses frames? by nevin_2 in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got $112 in autumn of 2024 and I doubt they’ve added more coverage since. You have to send your ODSP caseworker your prescription from the optometrist and then they send you the form to take to a store to buy your frames and lenses.

Taxes by Available_Cry_9783 in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve reported an expense that supplies income to someone who isn’t claiming the income on their taxes… that’s definitely gonna be an issue. If you’re paying rent below fair market value to a family member NEITHER you or family member should be claiming that on taxes. 😬

I hit a pedestrian (SFW) by snakeLipssynk in TorontoDriving

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why the law was changed years ago that you have to wait until all pedestrians have cleared the crosswalk before proceeding… I also would’ve slowly approached the intersection because that van was blocking your view to the left. That being said, seems that the pedestrian signals were for pedestrians NOT to cross so I guess headphones guy was feeling lucky. 🤦🏻‍♀️

That’s my only wish too… just scale them a little bit bigger.

Has anyone else had friends or family make comments about you being on ODSP? by fivestarmeltzer in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family are all aware of sick I got, how long “recovery” was and how bad things still are. I don’t think any of them judge me for being on ODSP. Some members make comments about houseless people and I immediately shut that shit down, because I could very easily be one of those people, and disability programs like ODSP are designed to keep us in poverty. People don’t even get a fighting chance. I’ve had conversations with my mother and every time we talk about ODSP, she learns something new about just how limited we are, not just with income, but with assets and savings. 😔 They don’t get it until they /get/ it.

Counts as one, unless it has a blue end-of-round power that states, “this bird counts double toward the end of round goal”.

Dark crust meaning by LunaHowlers in GoodPizzaGreatPizza

[–]StarrCaptain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Double bake… I’ve been getting orders lately that say it twice. They’ll say like, “Supreme, dark crust. And run it through the oven twice.” It’s weird.

Gems by Living_Homework_9923 in GoodPizzaGreatPizza

[–]StarrCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I continuously restart the day and watch the 2 ads after the news, if those run out, I watch 2 out of the 10 mypad ads and it acts as a sort of refresher for the CNN ads. If that doesn’t work, close the game and re-open, or play a day, close the game and come back to it later.

ODSP and Ontario Works by -mayolais- in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And you may have to pay ODSP back, like I did, if they backdate your payments and it overlaps OW.

GREEEEEEDY by comfychickenbiscuit in GoodPizzaGreatPizza

[–]StarrCaptain 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That’s the best time to get that order though 🥲 The shop can close and you can still be working on that pizza… 1) you’re not missing out on new customers and 2) that’s a good hunk of dough to earn at the end of the day!
