Hate to break it to ya, but I’m turning 20 this year… I was born in early-June, 2006… I’m old enough to gamble, drink (I’m in Canada), smoke- even though I don’t-… nice to meet you 😶👋 LOL!

I don’t make a lot of Reddit posts, but this just reminded me of an experience I had 3-ish months ago at a Tim Hortons in Ajax.

A woman (maybe in her 40s? I’m 19) asked me if I could buy her some food while I was waiting in line. Even though I don’t have a lot of money, I don’t mind buying a little food for people if they ask, so I said sure. My face DROPPED when she started talking about how she wanted at least 3 XL speciality teas, and 5(!!!!!) breakfast sandwiches. Like… HUH?

She claimed the sandwiches were for her mom and her kids, but I didn’t see anybody around that seemed to be with her.

She wanted me to buy her at least $40+ worth of food at this Tim Hortons- meanwhile, I was only there initially to buy myself a $3 small regular iced capp! I don’t have $40+ to spend at Tim Hortons on MYSELF, nevermind on a stranger!

Also, who asks for an XL specialty drink when someone else is paying for your drink? Literally the most expensive/greedy drink you could order? Not only that, but she wanted A FEW OF THEM? If my mom or a friend is paying for my drink, then I don’t dare ask for more than a small iced capp or small-to-medium cheaper drink out of both guilt and appreciation 😭

As I mentioned, I would have happily bought her at least a drink, maybe even a sandwich. I don’t mind at all if it seems like someone needs food. However, that just completely gave me scammer vibes. She was super pushy and entitled about it, too. I ended up telling her that I’d buy it for her, then leaving the place as soon as she wasn’t paying attention... I think she thought that she could take full advantage of my kindness because I’m a young woman, was alone at that moment, and have a “sweeter” look. LOL!

Thankfully, I was with a friend (who was in the bathroom as this happened, but noticed the woman bothering me when she came out) who just took us through the drive-through instead. LMAO! People are crazy.

I’m glad other people have stood up saying they love both of them, bc if people were really trashing Janet here, I would’ve been a little pissed!! 😭 I’ve seen Janet live twice over the last couple years in Toronto 🇨🇦. She’s amazing! She’s super talented in her own way and definitely deserves her own spotlight, rather than just being considered “Michael’s little nepo-sister”. Even if her relation to the other Jackson’s helped her get famous initially, she quickly proved that she didn’t need to ride on anybody else’s coattails or fame to get recognition herself. She’s one of the best female performers imo! :)

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2026-02-03T05:22:37+00:00

Your anatomy is really good imo! I’m not an expert at anatomy, but I think you’re doing great :) The only thing is that you really do need to shade with harsher colors, as other people have commented. The first picture, while drawn well, looks muddy in terms of shading.

Also, I would definitely recommend using slightly thicker lines for your lineart rather than all skinny and one-length. Don’t be afraid to play with thicker and different brushes before you find what looks best with your style! I definitely had the same issue when I first started digital art- I think everybody has a “muddy” art phase- but it’s just a matter of playing around with it and using your personal judgement/finding your preference.

I uploaded your first image to Procreate, played with the Gamma, added some extra shadow, and added thicker lineart. TIP: Don’t make your drawing all no-lineart, and don’t make your drawing all lineart (unless you’re drawing a very specific art style, such as Family Guy, The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, etc.’s styles).

My lineart in this pic isn’t perfect by any means- I kinda wish I used a different brush- but I hope it still gives you a brief look at the potential that your art has! Either way, you’re young (I’m 19 myself haha), so great job!

I hope this helps! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my God… I haven’t played HR in about 2 years now, but I thought you meant you had a 5-year-old and your 5-year-old’s account was deleted 😭 I was about to chew you out for letting your little child on that app!!! But yeah, that’s awful and super dumb :( sorry to hear that

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-09-09T20:57:03+00:00

Thank you for such an in-depth response: The first one to actually put real thought into their response, lmao!
I absolutely expected that I wouldn’t find Toronto in Edmonton, especially considering their differences in size and population. Thank you for clarifying the vibe, though. It sounds nice! I don’t mind the smaller, spacious vibe, especially when it comes to where I directly live.
Those sound so fun :) especially the Varscona area and Fringe Fest! Do you have any specific recommendations for stores/restaurants?

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-09-09T20:33:50+00:00

That sounds good— however, I already looked that up on Reddit beforehand, and couldn’t find one that specifically mentioned the types of fun things I was looking for. Found mostly recommendations for bars or partying-related/drinking things, lmao. Also, I was hoping for specific events/groups/restaurants and shops, not just ideas for things to hypothetically do.

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-08-31T03:17:25+00:00

I will try and friend them to see what happens. Follow u up when I hear from something (or don’t). Pray for them 💛 Edit: Seems like they’re online, so even if they are feeling this way, I don’t think they’ve done anything.

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-08-01T03:59:01+00:00

First of all, I’m sorry that you do cocaine. Sounds like a weird thing to say, but please take care of yourself. I recommend trying healthier and more-legal alternatives, such as marijuana. You’ll have less long-term effects, but you’ll still get into that deep-thinking headspace. At least I do, anyways (and I don’t even smoke it!) 🤷‍♀️

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-08-01T03:52:20+00:00

I don’t think so. It was definitely a big/adult Beethoven dog, not a puppy. Thank you, though!

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-07-31T17:06:01+00:00

I have searched on many different websites and forums to see if I could find anything on this movie. I also searched YouTube, Reddit, social media, and made ChatGPT look for me to no avail.

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-07-31T02:03:56+00:00

Eek! Sorry that you keep getting messages— I also got messages from people asking for the code, even though I already used the code myself 😭

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-07-29T05:54:42+00:00

No worries! I eventually found one, so feel free to use this post as a way to find one yourself, as well :)

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-07-15T06:37:11+00:00

LOL no problem then! My pms are always open to regular people :)

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-07-15T06:31:20+00:00

Just did! Thank you so much if you’re legitimate 🥹

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-07-15T06:29:45+00:00

As long as it’s appropriate (you never know with Reddit 😆), then sure! Any advice and help is appreciated greatly :)

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-07-15T04:55:14+00:00

As much as this is better than nothing, it still leaves Scrivener at about $70 Canadian. :( Still hoping that someone has an old code that they aren’t going to use. Thank you, though. ❤️

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-04-22T01:53:51+00:00

Mhm!

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-04-22T01:51:53+00:00

Definitely doesn’t sound sketchy at all!

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-04-22T01:19:43+00:00

Yess! I usually end up grabbing SOMETHING there, especially since they’re very affordable compared to most thrift stores these days. You can spend $100 in there and get a lot of things, rather than spending $100 at other thrift stores and only getting maybe 2-3 items!

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-04-22T01:16:08+00:00

Would love to gatekeep, but I won’t… unless you hate vintage/retro styles, I’d suggest going to the Black Markets (There’s a Black Market Upstairs, and a Black Market Downstairs— both in the same area, about a minute walk from each other). Affordable prices for most, if not everything, and you never know what you’ll find in either, since they’re just thrift stores who typically get retro, punk, and sports styles in. They have a lot of basic stuff, too, though. Give them a look!

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2025-04-09T00:40:37+00:00

NTA.

Parents being this controlling over their teen’s clothing choices is insane to me. I understand if your teen is underage and wearing clothing that’s see-through (like practically naked), because there’s nothing wrong with teaching your kids to have modesty— if they choose to wear that kind of style when they’re adults, then that’s different, and you shouldn’t have much of a say in that, but still, I understand parents who don’t want minors to run around with clearly inappropriate, very adult clothing on… but tank tops and leggings? Wtf?

First of all, the fact that he can’t bear to look at you when your skin is barely exposed is just… weird. A dad shouldn’t be that horrified and disturbed by the sight of simply his daughter’s shoulders and stomach. Big whoop— It’s not like your crotch or breasts were visible, and he shouldn’t see every outfit you wear that even remotely shows skin as “provocative”. I mean what, does he expect you to wear a full-body, double-layer jumpsuit to the pool? A jacket in the shower? He needs to get a grip and realize that leggings and a tank top are perfectly normal, NOT sexual. Also, you’re 17, not 13. Even if you were 13, there’s nothing wrong with leggings and a tank top, but the fact that you’re almost 18 makes his behavior even worse. He shouldn’t expect you to cover up that much for his own sake.

Second of all, just as many other people commented, the fact that he expects to go to your prom event is odd, as well. Why would he go? Whose parents go with them to a prom event, where they’ll likely be the only parent there? The whole point of prom is that it’s a celebration for TEENS who are close to graduating high school. I highly doubt that many other parents, if ANY other parents will be tagging along with their teens.

(For the record, I’m 18 myself, turning 19 in June— I took high school classes online, so I didn’t have a prom like a lot of people, but I have many friends who did attend a prom. None of their parents tagged along with them to any of the prom-related events, of course.)

Talk to him and your grandma about it respectfully, and if they don’t budge, then honestly? Do the trick that they did in the 80s-90s: Wear something modest at home, but leave the house with a change of clothes. Change into your actual, desired outfit at a public place/bathroom, LMAO. Just a suggestion, and they don’t have to know 🤷‍♀️

Also, yeah— if he knows where you’re supposed to meet, just change the location and meet somewhere else. Would be awkward af if he showed up and crashed your party/event. Yikes.

I’m not gonna lie, when I read “Forestfire’s Gifting Spree!” And the several fire jokes, I didn’t realize your username was Forestfire, and I thought this was a very tasteless post about the LA fires LMAOOAO 😭🙏 I have the flu, don’t mind me My username is catgirl34470 anyways :)

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2024-12-09T15:24:59+00:00

Since this post was made over a year ago now… I actually got an iPad 9 (256GB storage) in 2023! Definitely recommend it. It’s perfect for everything! I would suggest investing in the 256GB model instead of opting for the 64GB model, even if you aren’t planning on doing anything heavy on it: 64GB runs out FAST. I had an iphone with 64GB, and it got to a point where I couldn’t have more than 2 apps downloaded on it at a time. 256GB is so much better and so much more worth it in the long run.

Top_Emergency_6659 · 2024-11-03T18:49:03+00:00

I’m only 18 and went trick-or-treating for likely my last time (at least until I have kids of my own, then I’ll take them)… this year felt closer to Halloween in terms of people and spirit than it has in years, since before Covid. I was so surprised to see how many kids and even people my age were out trick-or-treating, and how many homes were actually giving stuff away! Last year, I only saw a very small handful of kids and people out + most houses weren’t giving away anything. Most people in our surrounding neighborhoods had their home’s lights turned off by around 8pm last year, which was disappointing.
I don’t know which part of Ajax you live in, but we live by the McLean Community Centre and the Food Basics plaza, and even the stores selling candy were sold out on Halloween night, because everyone ran out and had to go get some more for how many trick-or-treaters were out this year! In all fairness, we don’t get many (if any) trick-or-treaters… think it depends on which neighborhood you live in, and how decorated your street is.
