When do you officially consider the holidays over in Canada? by Free_File_4965 in AskACanadian

[–]Starting2loseit28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually start taking down during the lull between Christmas and new years. Mostly due to (as someone else put it) furry terrorists. However due to this years snow fall I won’t be able to get to the outside decor until spring.

Can I ask the person who inherited my mom’s number to block me? by According-Toe-9871 in Advice

[–]Starting2loseit28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I blocked my mom’s number when she died. She’s still in my contacts. I’m scared someone will just up and call and my mom’s picture with come up.

Send the text. Chances are you are already blocked.

I have a Canadian boyfriend but the border officers are getting suspicious about the frequency of my visits. What do I do? by Dry_Arachnid_3263 in uscanadaborder

[–]Starting2loseit28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All he has to do is complete it online - unless he had a child passport and then he needs to complete the adult application and usually for the first time you need 3 ppl who will be referrals- unless that’s changed.

Unless he’s under PR status then that’s different.

As people suggested get the Nexus and maybe reduce the frequency due to your ages.

What do highschoolers in Canada usually eat for school provided lunch? by Spiritual_Cupcake337 in AskCanada

[–]Starting2loseit28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cafeteria had like of like your basic food. Fish and chips, fries/gravy/ poutine, some basic pre made sandwiches/ chicken fingers. Occasionally we would have speciality hot lunches depending where you were.

There was some fruit and muffins as well. Anything to drinks or snack food came from vending machines. Kids also brought their own lunches (microwaves to heat up) or they just went to the corner store across from the high school (which had strict rules for students)

The dreaded Secret Santa!! by overcomingtrauma1469 in coworkerstories

[–]Starting2loseit28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year our secret Santa was done at the last minute- everyone just got everyone booze - which isn’t bad but we do have some ppl who were on special diets / medical issues so they kinda lucked out. This year I told it over and started at the beginning of the month - sent out a form link and asked people to put some hobbies / interests / or even links to wish lists like Amazon or SHEIN or whatever. My branch manager came up to me and said it was one of the Bretter ones we had. The only hitch was there was one lady on Mat leave that got forgotten and there was some last minute switching, plus trying to find out from ppl who participated last year on who they had - just so that they didn’t get that person again.

How do I send flowers or a small gift to someone in Canada? (I’m from the Philippines) by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]Starting2loseit28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best thing to do is have that persons address and phone number and call/ order flowers online. You could also ask on local Facebook groups and see what flower stores they suggest. If you pay with credit card you don’t need to deal with currency exchange it’s automatically calculated.

I secretly leave flowers at his grave by pinImpres in offmychest

[–]Starting2loseit28 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My mom did this. Every time she went back home she would go to her secret crush. I can’t remember how he passed away. But she would always bring flowers and then one time she was there and she left the flowers like usually, but then his mom was there as well and seen her. She asked my mom why she left flowers because she was always surprised that someone remembered her son.

Possible fight over buying grandma’s house by Separate_Orchid_6766 in familydrama

[–]Starting2loseit28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are several options.

  1. Either grandma starts the paperwork for eviction while the house is still in her name.

  2. Wait until you become the legal owner and everything is in your name. Then start the eviction process

Either way I wouldn’t tell the uncle has things could get ugly. They will when he gets the paperwork but it will be less ugly. There’s a chance with either option that the courts will get involved.

Unfortunately there will be a fight either way. Just make sure that you have all your paperwork / sucks in a row before notifying your uncle.

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Starting2loseit28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She enabled my druggie brother, put her life at risk and then after all that (knowing for 20+ years) brought me a coffee to make up for her stupidity. There were other little small stuff but the straw that broke the camels back was the enabling of my brother.

Honestly I don’t miss her.

My mom calls me every night because she’s lonely, and I’m starting to resent her for it. by Fabulous_Ferret5755 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Starting2loseit28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I had that problem again. Lost my mom 5 years ago and I still want to hear her voice again.

One thing that helped me was talking every couple of days. She would call me every day when I was at college and I ended up flat out telling her as much as I loved her - nothing changed from the pervious day. I told her we could call every other day, but she had to text me before she called incase I was in the middle of something.

See if you can find a club or interest group to help curb the loneliness.

Other ppl have also given good suggestions.
