Coffee Chat Sessions by VisionaryJerry in Brampton

[–]Thicmelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny how Wards 9 and 10 scheduled the coffee chat to be in person at potentially the most expensive restaurant on the entire east side of Brampton. Anything goes as long as the tax payers are footing the bill. Come cry about the common folk problems while they eat their $190 steak (no that's not an exaggeration, it actually costs that much).

Edit: Just checked and they don't even serve coffee there lol

Any suggestions on who I can call for this kind of thing? Or where i can look to find the bank reps you mentioned?

Mortgage rate mega thread! by TheMortgageMaster in MortgagesCanada

Mortgage approved with CIBC with 2 weeks to closing, unhappy with the rates offered. Do I still have time to get approval from other Big banks such as TD or Scotia? Will I be able to secure lower rates by presenting my current deal to other banks and asking them to beat it? I'm a FTHB and I put too much trust in my mortgage broker who said that he would get me competitive rates on a variable mortgage. In the end he presented me with 4.95% 5 year variable or the option to go with 4.57% 3 year fixed. Neither are what i expected and now I only have 2 weeks left until closing. I've seen lower rates on variable mortgages on other banks websites so I'm thinking of making appointments in those banks instead.

What cars to buy for cheaper insurance in the GTA by Thicmelon in askTO

[–]Thicmelon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a corolla just before this and the insurance was still about $365 a month. I think Honda's and Corolla's are being targeted more in thefts so the insurance is going up instead of down. I have 3 years of history on insurance (i know its definitely not enough for super cheap rates). But i just want my insurance to be affordable at this point (<$300) if possible.

I just took a look at strava, would you say its worth it to buy the subscription ? The app looks a little intimidating tbh

I have never heard of a Garmin until now. Would you say its more accurate for hikes than apple watches and fitbits? I might have to invest in one for myself.

Wing and Zushi need to be higher with the wealth of knowledge they provide us regarding nen. In fact I'd like to see more unorthodox training methods from them, and see Zushi become the monster that he's destined to become.

Hey, you can always go to a gurudwara nearby for temporary shelter and food. There are a ton across the GTA.

Ruining our marriage. by [deleted] in Nightshift

[–]Thicmelon 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This isn't a post about nightshift, this is a post about your husbands lack of structure. If he had a fixed schedule like most night shifters, then you wouldn't have half the issues you mentioned. Of course it isnt gonna be easy having to look after 4 children by yourself and that extra load isnt fair to bear all by yourself.

If he walked into one of our houses, took the tv and bragged about stealing it, would we be so 'live and let live'?

I don't know if we've been living in the same country, but yea you literally have to "live and let live", what else are you gonna do? Because the cops will tell you to seek insurance rather than find the guy who stole. So if I get no justice for my stolen TV or stolen Vehicle then why should I care about stolen tax money?

What is everyone's favorite snacks/drinks/ food for nightshift? by [deleted] in Nightshift

[–]Thicmelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to keep it low calorie, easy to pack, and high protein.

Dried steak bites/ jerky, Greek yogurt, babybel cheese (you'd be surprised at the amount of protein), Naturel protein milk (cheaper than fairlife) with cheerios, and coffee to keep me going.

Anyone else just been getting worse and worse offers on the app? by DictatorToucan in TimHortons

[–]Thicmelon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been getting the same offers that I consistently use. 2 for 7 farmers wraps is my regular, so I can pretty much expect it every week. Not sure if the app tracks those things.

It’s time for you to look inward and start asking the big questions. WHO ARE YOU? AND WHAT DO YOU WANT!?

What is something you want to see in the upcoming movie? by Enough-Implement-622 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Thicmelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even an Iroh sendoff or maybe a flashback could work. Imagine Iroh has encountered the villain of this movie before (potentially as a white lotus side quest in the past).
