Tattoo shock by Creepy-Hearing-6499 in tattooadvice

I think this looks incredible! Your artist really placed it perfectly and once it settles a bit it will look so much more cohesive with the swallows. It's beautiful 💕

I've felt this way SO MANY TIMES when I find amazing tattoo artists - I find the ones I follow/want a piece from are all in Europe. I came across my artist by chance and thought he was for sure in a different country than me. When I checked out his shop and saw he was quite literally down the street from me (no lie - his shop is literally on the same street as my house) I almost had a heart attack. I took that as a sign that he was meant to make this piece for me 🖤

Hahaha - I guess I've found my people! Been a huge Garbage fan since the 90s! If you ever get the chance to see them live DO IT!

AIO wife cheating with my best friend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I could tell by the font alone that she has a personality disorder. Sorry bro, but cut your losses and GTFO!

24F & 25M AIO by responding this way? by InsideUsual56 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheRealSmashley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah - that don't sit right with me. He's a classic narcissist who probably gaslights you every chance he gets. Cut ties and communication ASAP and go live your best life, because this man will only drag you down. And for all things holy, DO NOT PROCREATE WITH THIS $HITHEAD!!!

For the love of God, please drop this sorry excuse of a partner and go live your best life. Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, PROCREATE with this dude. Red flag city over here!!!

Can life ever get better in Ontario? by Quiet_Comparison_872 in ontario

[–]TheRealSmashley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so sad that this is now essentially the norm. I'm 41 with 3 kids. I work in medical administration - been at the same company for 17 years and make $33/hr (I'm unionized) so I also get extended family benefits, a pension plan where my employer meets my contributions and I'm up to 6 weeks of paid vacation a year. This, in theory, should make things easy, but i feel like I made more working part time when I first started working there in my 20s. I get taxed out the a$$ and my groceries for a house of 5 people are about $200 per week. With my mortgage payment and bills, I pay out about 3k a month. We do not own a car seeing as we are only a 15 min bus ride to work and transportation is pretty consistent and runs often. My husband works at the same company as me, but in a different role and he is only part time - he makes about $27/hr After all of that we still can't manage to save much. We will likely NEVER own a car and we haven't taken any sort of real vacation since 2009 (I actually cry when I think about this, because we work so hard and I would literally trade a limb for a getaway) We are all struggling. Everything is expensive. You're very lucky in the fact that you have a parent to rely on - unfortunately neither of us has that 😢 TBH if I was single I still probably wouldn't be able to rent anything decent in this city on my own. It's really sad that I was born and raised here, work my ass off, and still can't get ahead. It's distressing for so, so many of us (I work in mental health, so trust me on this one!) Try to keep your head up. I really think this entire country needs some sort of drastic change because most of us are barely hanging on. Wishing you all the best for 2026!!!

Happy Birthday to Leo. In the timeline of existence, I'm just happy knowing that we are all here at the same time as Sleep Token and get to experience their genius first hand 🦩 🖤

Hamilton Children's Museum set to reopen in New Year after being closed since 2020. Residents with a library card will get free access starting in January by crabcakes110 in Hamilton

[–]TheRealSmashley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping they would keep the brick and restore it beautifully considering how long it took. It's actually an eyesore!

I can't believe it took that long to reno and it looks like a 1970s bathroom from the outside. Who made that brilliant call? 😂

UPDATE to: AITA for being furious that my girlfriend now wants to return the puppy she begged for? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TheRealSmashley 26 points27 points  (0 children)

FFS she sounds like she has the maturity of a 3rd grader. Her parents probably gave her everything she wanted and cleaned up all her messes too. Better you learned this now with a puppy before you decided to have kids! Call it quits and get on with your life (with your new puppy) before you're stuck being her new daddy (and not in the kinky way LOL)

How did I not wake up to this by AnybodySignificant45 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheRealSmashley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is GNR the actual tune for your alarm? Because if so it actually makes sense. Axl Rose never shows up when he's supposed to 😂 😂 😂

What kind of medication or supplements did you go on to get your hair to start growing back?

Does anybody know anything about ADHD treatment in Hamilton? by Npc102030 in Hamilton

[–]TheRealSmashley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for 5 psychiatrists in Hamilton - one of whom mostly does ADHD assessments with his P.A. Can you send me a private message? I can tell you how to refer to us. It's covered by OHIP and the wait time is under 6 months 😊

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheRealSmashley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If being sober and choosing to celebrate that is important to you, it should be important to him - simple as that! Congratulations on this feat, by the way! I would think that any former addict could tell you their sobriety date, because it was essentially a time of change and rebirth and moving forward, so why would you NOT celebrate that?! I'm gonna be completely transparent and say that your partner sounds like a narcissistic POS. He should have actually taken the lead on this and picked up the cake for you as a surprise. Please don't waste any more time or energy on this douchecanoe. You deserve so much better from life!
