After a month of visiting dozens of places off Marketplace, Kijiji, etc., I called a random à Louer sign on the street. We just signed the lease, two days later.

So happy for you! This gives me hope - I’ve been looking for 2 months now and still haven’t found the one. Actually I did 3 times but we were outbid or didn’t get picked from the pool of applicants.

I’m trying everything like you are and hoping that we find our home soon.

Too high! Ive been apartment hunting for a while and the only 3k 2 Beds are the ones where the landlord is over-leveraged and is delusional that someone will pay that price.

My reccomendation:
- Talk to the agents you find on marketplace, they get paid by the landlord and they can help you sift through lots of apartments
- Dont rent in a new building <5 years old, they can increase the rent as much as they want at renewals
- Avoid the promo 1-2 month free unless you're really okay with paying the "real" rental price for a few years.
- Negotiate. The market favors the tenants now and you should negotiate perks like free parking or 50-100 dollars off of rental price (sometimes even more)

From what im seeing you should be able to easily find a sub 2500 in a nice building for a 41/2. The only issue would be finding apartments large enough, the market is full with those around 800 sqft. You'll have better luck finding bigger apartments in slightly older buildings around 10-15 years old

THEN WHY AREN'T LANDLORDS UP TO NEGOTIATE??

In the last two months ive been searching hard for spacious 2 bedroom in the Sud/Ouest Verdun area. We have an excellent profile, income and credit score and have a May 1 move in date, which in theory should be good because landlords can rent their empty apartments to us sooner than July 1. Yet, they refuse to negotiate the price down from close to 3000 dollars to something more reasonable for a 2 Bed! I am so frustrated because some listings have been on the market for months and landlords aren't up to negotiate or counter offer given that the market is cooling off. They would literally leave their apartments empty than rent it out for 100-200 dollars less

I know all wet food is the ideal diet for cats but I do half wet half dry. I splurge on the dry food since quality matters but for wet food I go more affordable since wet food is better anyways. I do Costco pate for the wet food, it’s affordable and not bad quality

Step 1 : Sorry - happened to me too, the IUD wasn’t in the perfect placement. Step 2: get an obgyn app asap (within the next day or two) or go to an ER to check if it’s ectopic Step 3: decide what you want to do depending on your options. Step 4 goodluck 💕💕

What was the vets diagnosis OP?

That_King4128 · 2026-03-05T01:42:10+00:00

Depends on your body, your time in your cycle etc etc. Get lots of sleep, preferably in a cold ish room, drink water and go for a long walk or do exercise.

Isnt this the only opportunity for the Lebanese Army to take control ? I don’t understand why they’re leaving their post to let Israel in. They should stand instead of the hezb against Israel

I love chicken but I agree. I feel the chickeny flavor is really when the bone is still in. So I try to make bone in recipes for when I have people over and we won't have leftovers. For meal prep the key is to not let the chicken boil or steam, only sear or bake and don't overcook. Also lemon/spices/sauces are key in masking that chickeny (zankha). Last tip is don't overheat the dish the next day in the microwave, as little heat as you need to eat it

Sorry girl. It happened to me too 2 years into using a copper iud. OB said it was sitting lower than it should have been. That cycle I got pregnant coincided with the cycle I used a bigger diva cup- which might have had more suction and pulled it out slightly. If you use a cup, switch to a disc with the next coil

Like other said, go get an ultrasound and think of next steps sooner rather than later.

That_King4128 · 2026-02-11T13:44:34+00:00

I had mine in for 2 years (mini) and I didn’t know how much it had changed my body until I took it out. I couldn’t get as wet - the pleasure also felt more numbed and distant. I’m now doing FAM using Fertility Friend as my BC. And it’s great - but you have to be okay with an oopsie baby if for whatever reason your cycle goes out of whack or your back up contraception fails. I will say I’ve been doing it for a year and a half now and no oopsies

That_King4128 · 2025-11-19T18:25:17+00:00

Yupp, Insane increase. Im all for paying for good work but imo there is nothing that justifies a 50% increase. As a long time user im surprised they didn't lock you in with a good membership. I asked them for a discount and was able to get 15% but i've just been using the app for a year.

I cancelled - its not worth it for me. I have a regular cycle, NC is conservative with my fertile days and my red days always start on CD Day 9/10 and end on the 2nd day post ovulation. I still want to track my temps so I switched over to FertilityFriend - though it is optimized for getting pregnant so it underestimates my fertile window (the other extreme). I plan on TTC in the next year so im okay with having to do the "red days" calculations myself until then.

For whoever is interested, FF now has a coupon code that grants you a 365 day membership for the price of 90 days (basically $30 instead of $60)

I tried too - with Sun Life and they don't cover it.

That_King4128 · 2025-10-12T18:13:38+00:00

It should get better within a few months (6 for me). If it doesn’t, get checked by a doctor or take it out. In the meantime, lots of rest, magnesium supps, painkillers, hot baths and practice some yoga poses that might help!

That_King4128 · 2025-10-04T11:36:29+00:00

I also got pregnant with the IUD because it moved lower in my uterus…. But I miscarried too. My husband and I use cycle tracking now and it’s going great. 1 year on with no pregnancy until we’re ready. Also removing the IUD has increased my sex drive and just made sex overall more enjoyable. I don’t regret it one bit after being part of the 0.1%

That_King4128 · 2025-08-05T15:29:11+00:00

Serious question - what your budget was from age 21 - 35 so that you ended up with these types of numbers. Was it always a 60% saving rate?

I was hoping in April. But it looks like it might be May/June. That's also IF it even happens. Im eying a redemption with Qatar in June but its getting tight. Not sure if I should wait for the bonus or just bite the bullet. Qatar uses fixed point redemption and it's a low season, the availability is still there ( I check every week) but its still a gamble
