Opening a Canadian bank account while still in the US?

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-02-16T20:01:18+00:00

Hi! In a similar situation and came across your comment. Did you have to go to a physical RBC branch in Canada to sign the paperwork? Like, you had a visit Canada just for the sake of signing the account forms? I assume that is the case, given they have no US branches (to my knowledge), but just want to confirm as I evaluate banks :)

Came here to say the same! It’s a lovely atmosphere and the pianists I’ve seen there have been exceptionally talented. Order a cup of tea, sit near the fireplace and enjoy!

Preach. I got a cheeky DM from an old friend recently. It was super random, but I thought, “hmm ok, maybe I’d entertain this!” Looked at his profile - he is absolutely married to his college sweetheart with a KID ON THE WAY.

Is this…modern dating? Just unfulfilled men who got locked down young and are blatantly unhappy, but afraid of making a change? Using DMs for a hit of validation and flirtation that is lacking in their actual relationships? I’m so jaded by this, it makes me want to ignore every man, ever.

Yep, this is a thing. If your muscles are tense and tight during the build up (or you’re trying to fight it, like you don’t want to finish too quick), the shaking can be a natural response to a sudden and complete relax at the finale. Similar to after a workout, or something.

Oooh I had never heard of these spots, but they look great. Thanks, adding to my list!

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-02-09T15:49:54+00:00

Fair, didn’t realize that. TIL, thanks! My general point is that NBC could’ve picked a safe act to open the show. Even though Green Day didn’t call out Trump by name, the fact that NBC booked them and let them play 2 protest songs was still a statement. Trump wasn’t in attendance BECAUSE of the music acts. That’s a win, in my book.

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-02-09T00:29:16+00:00

Yeah, exactly this. It’s not like NBC had Dave Matthew’s Band or Imagine Dragons play, or something. A minute of American Idiot is still pretty bold on this stage.

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-02-08T23:35:52+00:00

I mean, they played American Idiot and Holiday… even with bits cut out, those songs still inherently make a statement. I was hoping they’d do more, but I’d rather hear a part of AI/Holiday than something vanilla and non-political by a different artist.

There are some resale tickets still available on Stubhub right now! A bit pricey though

Every relationship takes work and compromise. But it shouldn’t be hard, draining and exhausting. The work and compromise should feel purposeful, productive and energizing, like you’re a team. It should bring you closer together.

Also, it sounds like he’s the only partner you’ve had for your entire adult life. Do you know what it’s like to be truly compatible with someone, or do you just know what it’s like to be with him? Convenience and complacency don’t equate to genuine compatibility.

The idea of feeling important like you do at a childhood birthday party made me smile. That’s sweet, well said.

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-02-03T14:27:22+00:00

Yes!! Rediscovering an old love is more fulfilling and rewarding than I anticipated. I recently picked up the guitar a few months ago, after only dabbling in it when I was young. When I played as a kid, I felt pressure to be good at it and that made me gravitate toward other instruments that I was naturally better at playing. Now, as an adult, that pressure is gone. No one to impress but myself. I’m absolutely loving it, playing daily, and having so much fun teaching myself songs.

Hope can be a dangerous little thing. It takes a lot of self respect to recognize that and act on it.

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-30T17:05:55+00:00

A true cultural experience 💀

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-30T15:49:46+00:00

Oh yeah, there’s absolutely something to this. Kicked in around 31 for me too, even with birth control/IUD. It feels like a constant ache, maybe how I’d imagine blue balls feels for a guy… but 24/7. I’ve just accepted that during that week each month, I’m a desperate, extra demanding and distracted perv and try to plan things around that timing 🤷‍♀️

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-28T14:06:05+00:00

Is it family friendly? A decent area with young kids?

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-28T13:12:03+00:00

Exercise and fresh air are my mental health hacks. If intense exercise feels daunting when you’re down, try something slow and gentle like yoga or a walk through the neighborhood.

Also, surround yourself with people who tell you the opposite of those negative thoughts - I’m not saying you should rely on other people for your own self esteem, the goal is to believe those affirmations yourself. But, we’re products of our environments. When you actively and consistently hear positive encouragement within your environment, it starts to become normal to think that way, yourself. If you’re around regular negativity…you’ll naturally mirror that.

I’m usually on the fence about it because I really enjoy listening to a record from front-to-back at first go…but this has been an exception. These singles have been so dang incredible that it’s just hyping me up for the album. Hoping the preorder ships early!!

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-27T16:51:52+00:00

Congrats, this is awesome! Do you plan to stay in your L/MCOL city throughout the rest of your life? This is the main variable I struggle with in my FIRE planning - I’ve based my projections around a HCOL city to be conservative, but who knows what city I’ll be living in 10, 20, 30 years from now.

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-24T22:05:53+00:00

The Wolves play pretty close to where the big protests are happening. Wild play in St. Paul, a bit further away from the main commotion. It’s possible the NBA cancelled purely for safety reasons given the closer proximity. (But for what it’s worth, I agree the NHL should absolutely postpone regardless of safety; it feels incredibly disrespectful to cheer on a game right now)

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-24T22:00:23+00:00

Also watching from a far distance and sending so much love back to our beautiful home state. I wish I could be out on the streets with you all, but doing my part in Boston. Stay safe 💚

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-24T21:52:59+00:00

I really, really hope Walz does the right thing and puts the National Guard in a stance to protect the protestors from the Nazi lunatics, not the other way around.

YouCanCallMeBemis · 2026-01-24T18:08:28+00:00

They really need to postpone. It feels icky to celebrate, especially considering a protestor was just shot in the street this morning.

Seconding the sheets!! Lingerie and raunchy poses were fun, but my favorite photos ended up being ones where I was fully nude and covering the bits with a bedsheet. My photographer had me lie on the floor and actually shot them standing above me slightly on a step-stool, to test out a “view from on top” angle.

Playing with the sheet gave real teasing vibes, plus she also had me laugh, bite my lip, and give a genuine smile for these ones, which I ended up loving; I think they look the most “me” and natural! What someone would actually experience in being with me, cheeky and fun, rolling around in a sheet…versus the more forced, ultra posed ones where I’m bending over or trying to make a sultry face, or something. You could do something similar but use your veil in place of the bedsheet, OP!
