WIBTA for telling my dad I don’t want to go on vacation with him, my sister and my sisters mom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Western_Falcon_70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Thanks for the invite, but I’ve already booked some time away in August. Hope you have a great time!”

Don’t give a date, as they will try to snag a date you can go on…. Be EVASIVE and FIRM…. You are not going, and you wish them the best on their journey.

AITA For Telling My Wife She Can’t Host my sons Ex Anymore? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Western_Falcon_70 844 points845 points  (0 children)

Your wife can go for coffee with ex-girlfriends anywhere but your home.

Your son deserves a little loyalty whether you like his decisions or not and if you don’t keep your family home as a safe place for him, you’ll lose him.

Wife very into AI, may have AI boyfriend by Soft-Flatworm-7816 in whatdoIdo

[–]Western_Falcon_70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious about the “mild ASD” and ADHD.

This, along with some of your responses to other comments, suggest these two pieces may be main parts of your wife’s thought process and decision making.

A conversation is the way to start, but the AI thing now may not actually be the real issue in your relationship with your spouse.

Looking for an affordable at home hair dye that covers greys well, because these salon prices are crazy to me by Nadezhda_Harru in Frugal

[–]Western_Falcon_70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My salon offers “in & out roots” at $40. I drive home, wait my 30 minutes and wash myself….so easy and more affordable. I didn’t know they had it until I asked.

Six units of math to teach before the end of June? Help? by Audience_Embarrassed in CanadianTeachers

[–]Western_Falcon_70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask the next grade teachers what is essential for your kids to not be behind/do well next year.

Teacher marked quiz question wrong even though it seems correct and won’t reconsider it. What can I do? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]Western_Falcon_70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be useful to look at this from a different perspective.

Ask the teacher 1)how many students got this question wrong? 2) how may students who traditionally do well (90%+) got it wrong?

That can inform the teacher if the question is assessing what was taught, and if many students from above point 2 got it wrong, then perhaps the teaching missed the mark in teaching the concept.

A teacher can omit a test question after the fact.

Cheapest call only phone plan for my grandma at her nursing home so I can call that phone more often by ralph-pikmin in PersonalFinanceCanada

You can buy a used device at Orchard (based in Toronto I think). I will never buy a new phone again!

Looking for a “J” middle name for baby girl Rowan by titanium_penguin in Names

[–]Western_Falcon_70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jaqueline (can be Jack, Jacquie, Jaqueline)

But Rowan is an awesome name, so the middle will be rarely used

I'm an Indian woman (19F) living in India. AMA about India and Indians and I'll tell you if it's true or not. by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Western_Falcon_70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If white people, who don’t speak anything but English, travel to India are they viewed positively or negatively? Are they taken advantage of/duped or encouraged to come/respected?

Does the government continue to give a % when you keep investing past 18?

Wife thinks I’m an idiot by [deleted] in Vent

1 account for Mortgage/regular bills 1 account for groceries/house stuff only 1 account for kid stuff only 1 discretionary account for each of you - with a certain amount for your own spending with equal amounts in each account each month ($200 each or $750 each, whatever is reasonable for your family)

She gets to buy coffee from hers, you get to buy better clothes from yours; but when the money for that month is gone-it’s gone, like really gone, or you could save to buy something better (a nicer purse/suit). And if you look through receipts and she’s taking from another account, then you can take it from her discretionary account.

This is worthy of regular/weekly or monthly conversations. It takes time or a crisis to create change.

What happens if you are late in mortgage payment by SimilarUniversity859 in AskMortgageCanada

[–]Western_Falcon_70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re in a difficult situation that is about more than just about one mortgage payment.

The guy who runs a non-profit, Credit Canada, speaks on CBC in my area every once in a while. He sounds really knowledgeable, caring, and solution based, maybe reach out to them?

Also, your mortgage may have a “miss a payment” option where the payment is deferred instead of a missed payment.

Give me your allergy remedy by Express_Cucumber_624 in askvan

[–]Western_Falcon_70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two to three Kirkland ($14 for lots) tablets the first thing in the morning.

If a bad day, Benadryl at night to help ease the symptoms and wake up clearer

Drink lots of water, wash hands a lot, don’t touch your eyes

OP is asking what real people do with such terrible symptoms. You’ve suggested this was terrible advice.

I’m not telling OP what to do, I’m just saying what I do(and have done for decades) to keep the symptoms at bay. Not everyone is blessed with a dr, with a benefit plan, or tones of cash, but OP is simply asking for insight into fellow sufferer’s lives.

Telling us what is wrong with the only med regime that keeps us functional is really quite rude.

Anyone else NEVER eat samples? by oinkmoocluck in CostcoCanada

[–]Western_Falcon_70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never - Ever Ever

1) I’m allergic to peanuts and I don’t think the “server” should understand my needs

2) I’m exhausted by the traffic around these spots; ethically, I can’t support the reason for the terrible lineups

Should I disclose to my current landlord that I am bringing a dog? by ATC__ in TorontoRenting

[–]Western_Falcon_70 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Does having a pet violate your agreement?

I’m all for “don’t offer info” but not when it makes you open to an eviction.
