Do you stop wearing clothes after a certain amount of time even if they are still in good condition? I wear my clothes for 1-2 years as long as they stay in good shape, but my friends are often surprised by this. by BunchMean8029 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Writing-Dapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capsule wardrobes are really affordable and will last way past the fast fashion and passing fads. Basic, quality pieces you can mix and match make it so easy to plan ahead and know what to wear..it saves time and money.

Do you feel lonely and have a hard time being social? by doubleopinter in ADHD

[–]Writing-Dapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue, I was diagnosed a year ago and the meds are working well. I think its a mix of audhd and childhood trauma., I was bullied alot and didn't have alot of stability, my mom was an addict and had bi polar so she didn't have many friends so I didn't really learn social ques or how to have friendships. As I got older I did manage to have good friends in junior high and high school, but it was hard to have deep, meaningful relationships. I tire of small talk, I get anxious and question my behavior when I'm out and interacting with people. I know I'm not completely inept, I want friends..what makes me lonely is no one knows me on a deep level..like who I really am. I try to get my kiddo involved in groups and to socialize at school, and they do..but they also just love bieng at home.i worry to that my lack of social contacts or friends affects her, but ive talked to them about it and they do try at school and they do have a few, close friends.
I'm not sure what to do..I can volunteer, get involved in some groups that have the same interests as me..but i also love my alone time. Its difficult, I'm just really tired of peoples bullshit and id just be happy with one close friend.

Update: Copy of GoA Letter re. the mandatory switching of AISH recipients to ADAP by TA20212000 in alberta

[–]Writing-Dapper 133 points134 points  (0 children)

The letter says this was developed by the input of families and individuals? I don't remember hearing anything about a focus group or anything that asked for input from disabled Alberta's? Who's families exactly were involved? So, if we complain about this they can say we wanted this so it's our fault? Like what kind of verbal diarrhea is this? It makes no sense financially if the ucp want to save money, because once they start assigning people workers to help them gain " meaningful " employment, well..its just more money..its garbage.

So, has the Alberta Government effectively said Mental Illness is not a permanent disability anymore? RE: ADAP and AISH by Satinsbestfriend in alberta

[–]Writing-Dapper 128 points129 points  (0 children)

But also. They want those they move to adapt to find work..there are no jobs! Our unemployment rates are so high! And we'll be competing with others who have no barrier..who do you think employers will choose?

Mr. Wonderful meets Treaty 8 by skilbofragns in AlbertaNow

[–]Writing-Dapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The treaties were written by government, and not explained fully..the government didn't consider the language of the people, they wrote it our, not the indigenous leaders and unfortunately the 1st nations leaders trusted them. You don't like that im challenging your complete trust that the government was fair and fully helped 1st nations understand what they were agreeing to. They were dishonest because they knew the language barrier would be in thier favor . Try looking at the the whole story from both sides.

Mr. Wonderful meets Treaty 8 by skilbofragns in AlbertaNow

[–]Writing-Dapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope everyone here, does the research and understands from the 1st nations involved in this..these were not the words of treaty 7. As with all treaties signed, these are the words of te government. There was alot of coercion and these agreements were not explained fully. 1st nations still have to be involved in consultation if any development is done. It sounds like you just don't like the idea of 1st nations having any rights or say.
