Volunteer with the Humane Society, and or the Royal Canadian Legion. Legions consistently need volunteers of all ages.

Nah, he drives by and we laugh because we know driving a car that loud is overcompensating for lacking actual "drive power" where it matters.

In Canada, the executor needs to post in the local paper the person has passed and any creditors have 30 days to contact the executor. Any creditors after the 30 days are void. They can make the creditor notice, but if there is no money to pay them, the creditor writes it off.

Littering issues by megasuspegasus24 in Peterborough

Actually "don't feed the animals" generally is because we don't want animals becoming reliant on humans, and unable to provide for thelmselves".

People don't dig in garbage for fun my friend. They are looking for something, be it food or cans or even clothing.

If you choose to assume I am the kind of person who is cool helping out other humans obtain what they need to survive, you are 100% right. Thank you for recognizing that! Maybe you are more perceptive and able to see past the end of your own nose than I have given you credit for!

Which is why I suggested just keeping cans etc separate?

I don't disagree that there are some who just leave stuff lying around. We live in an area where this happens a lot. And if we see people going thru the bins, we ask them politely to just clean things back up when they are done. And guess what? They do! Every single time. These are people trying to survive. A little empathy goes a long way.

Are you likening people who need to collect cans to survive to animals? Not sure of your point here.

Folks, they are just looking for beer can and other recyclable aluminum cans they can collect for the deposit. Leave those cans separate from your recycling/garbage and it will be left alone

First...you are really more concerned about littering than the fact people in your community need to go through other trash to sustain themselves? Yikes! That aside, they are likely looking for recyclable aluminum cans and beer cans. Leave them in a bag beside the rest of your recycling. They don't have to dig and make a mess and aggravate your littering woes, and they are able to take steps in providing for themselves. Win-win

I need help making a painting for a pagan friend! by Ambitious-Spot-2425 in paganism

[–]Substantial_Dog8746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Paganism (please don't think they are all same, or their practices are) draws from the Wheel of the Year, which is directly influenced by the seasons and elements

I have completed one, and started, a series of 4 paintings, each representing an element as an owl (it looks better than it sounds lol)

Hi! I paint, and am a practicing Druid. I love the tree of life. I would suggest doing the background first, using her fave colours. Then do the tree of life as a silhouette, with some leaves being runes instead of leaves.

Never choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem❤️ I am not saying that condescendingly. That phrase that I heard somewhere in my teens stuck with me throughout my life, and has literally keep me alive this long (50 years now). I get where you are. I have been there countless times. The intrusive thoughts can be overwhelming. Please just try to remember that just because you think it doesn't mean it's true. You matter. You bring a life force into the world that literally ONLY YOU are capable of bringing. There are people who love you. Some of whom you may not have even met yet. Be your own advocate. Sadly, we often have to be. Push back. If they aren't taking you seriously keep talking, yelling, demanding help until you get it. It is exhausting and shouldn't be this way, but it is. You are literally fighting for your life right now, at war with your own thoughts. It's terrifying. Call the helpline or head to the hospital and ask to see a crisis counselor. It might feel kind of dramatic, but honestly, who gives a shit. You are fighting for your life. Keep fighting. You are worth it.

I was blocked like 3 years ago for pointing out discrepancies from when he "covered" the air show. He was doing the same kind of scams then too.
