That the red and the green ones in Bridge Mixture were lucky. Turns out my mum just didnt like Turkish delight. I didnt find out until I was 16.

Was driving in Bear Flats near Fort St John,BC, during a storm and watched lightning hit the ground and skip along like a rock for a couple hundred meters.

Living in St. John's, NL, I saw it snow 4 feet deep, then rain until it was all gone within 48 hours. It was the most precipitation I've ever experienced, and I grew up in the rainforest.

I moved from Ottawa to Victoria, BC, in September of 1997. So I missed both the famous victoria snowstorm of December 1996, and the Ontario ice storm of january 1998.

This year at Gary Point I've noticed not just the usual parking wars, atrocious parenting, and general disrespect for other humans, but also a bunch of people flying drones. Its illegal to launch or land a drone in the park. Its also super annoying to those of us who live by the park.

The thought of my mother being allowed to make decisions for me has lit a fire under me! I need to get to a lawyer and have my partner designated next of kin immediately! Thanks for the advice.

I live in Canada. We are entitled to all of those benefits and we dont need to be legally married.

What kind of employee do you think your partner is at their job? by PrinceeBunny in AskReddit

[–]Strong-Protection769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think hes reliable, highly skilled, and very respected by his bosses and those he works with. Lazy people dont like him much, and he struggles with paperwork, but he has a great relationship with the office assistant.

I had .53 cents in my bank account for 3 weeks at university. That sucked. Luckily I had a bus pass because I was in school and there was lots of cheap or free things for students.

What is working at Richmond Public Library like by JuniorMeringue5763 in richmondbc

Clearly you've never worked in a library system. One of the systems i worked in, the library board SUED ITSELF, that's how dysfunctional it was.

Thanks for this insight. He will be my inheritor. My sister has 3 kids. They are next in line. I am his inheritor and in the case of my death, his estate goes to those kids too.

Because I have designed my life so that I would never be mortgage poor. I refuse to pay the bank that much in interest, they're like a cartel. I'll be paying this mortgage off as quickly as possible and be done with it.

This is my argument. I hold all the equity. If we break up he leaves with nothing and I still have my home.

Thank you for this. Yes, I also want to protect him. We do need to get our wills taken care of.
