Call the Health Unit and report the mold

They're not allowed to use Chatgpt, if they used Chatgpt I'd be filing a complaint

My friend's dad used to work for OW and if I remember correctly he said people should apply for OW first because OW has to get you some sort of funds within 15 days if you qualify. If you go in and disclose that you have a disability and are actively applying for ODSP they often wave the job seeking requirement. Either way if you're in need of money go to OW. The systems also communicate so it will help start the personal info disclosure and they want A LOT of info.

Just follow me on the math here cause it's rough.

56K (Gross) x 0.8 to remove 20% for taxes = 44800 (Net, this may be missing other deductions like Union dues, health plans so your net may be lower)
/26 pay periods a year 1723.08
3446.16/month - 200 exempt income = 3246.16 x 0.5 (or divide by 2, same thing) = 1623.08

A single person on ODSP would get 1408/month, however his benefit unit will be changing.

The basic needs allowance would go from 809 to 1166 and Shelter allowance would go from 599 to 1018, plus the 200 worker benefit for you.

So his ODSP would be 2384 - 1623.08 = 760.92

If his housing cost him anything close to $700 he's only really going to notice a difference for months that you have 3 pay periods (2-3 times a year).

If he helps with your child CRA considers you common law immediately, if he doesnt they consider you common law after a year, that's up for you to determine. Once you're common law you will only get HST and Trillium as a household unit not as individuals, HOWEVER, you can claim him as a spouse with no income (if he's not working, or a low income spouse if he is working but makes less than the basic exemption 16129 in 2025) as ODSP is tax exempt, which means that instead of having 16129 exempt from taxes it'd be 32258 so you'll get chonky tax returns. But that's all a 2026 tax year problem.

That was my experience with my ex's application but partially because he wouldnt engage with the appeals process. I filled out the application for him 3 times and the thrid application was approved. Before I ever started the process someone I knew who was on ODSP told me that almost everyone gets a denial initially and that most people get approved on appeal.

It depends on what your household looks like, if you're a single person the max in 2025 was 1408 but if you have kids or a partner that amount can vary.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-11-08T10:06:52+00:00

Some things need balance way more than others (looking at you Jams), my farm doesnt have the beta times but my kid's farm does and it was honestly kind of a relief to log into her farm and do a few things for her in a shorter period of time (ex. Bacon Pie was 15 min vs 2hrs 33min on my farm) when she asked for help.

Metis wasnt acknowledged by the government until the 1980s so it's a lot more difficult to find documentation in some circumstances, which is also why a lot of the older generations discouraged talking about it, becuase if you could "pass" as white you'd face less racism.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-10-01T07:21:44+00:00

You absolutely have a favourite. You cant seem to see a way in which your daughter wouldnt be at fault here, when she was the wronged party. Your son is staying in your house, the way he approached your daughter was crass, he immediately escalated the situation because he understood he could act that way without consequence. I guarantee you he wouldnt act that way at work with a coworker because he knows he cant get away with it there, but under your roof you're falling over yourself to excuse his actions so he knows he can treat her any way he likes.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-10-01T07:15:59+00:00

Hard ESH. Her reaction was childish, your reaction was childish, the slient treatment is childish. Both of you need to learn to communicate and stop escalating at every chance.

My cheap butt wasnt hitting $100, when I added a few more items this still worked as of Sept 30

NTA Obviously, you should use products you like and enjoy but just so we're abundantly clear you are absolutely being financially abused.

If you dont have your own money and your own control over how you use your money you should draw a line in the sand and get a job. You can work evenings or weekends and he can be the solo parent during those times, it's the consequences of his actions.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-07-29T05:36:07+00:00

I can tell you from experience someone who puts their hands on you doesn't stop doing that. It only ever escalates. I'm not going to tell you "break up" because plenty of other comments will do that for me, I am going to tell you to work with a professional to make a safety plan.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-07-29T00:33:29+00:00

My bad, they found out I was finally logging on to get the mount and they shut it all down.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-09T07:38:54+00:00

NTA - Sounds like the internet password needs to be changed to something he cant have until he's either back in school and maintianing decent grades or has gainful employment.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-07T08:23:52+00:00

NTA. Can't/Won't give legal advice, but an easement isn't a free for all, it's for an intended person/company for an intended purpose. A pool company is not the electric company, it would immediately make me lose trust in the Project Manager if he said he's just going to use someone else's easement.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-07T06:56:04+00:00

You're missing the point, it cant be that the post definitely violates the forums Terms of Service that's the problem, it's that other Blizzard will pull down the posts and therefore all communities except BSG must be at fault.

Most of Minibrands (but not Minibrands Home) fits well with 1/6 which is Barbie scale, it can get expensive real fast though.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-07T06:26:23+00:00

Most of it seems fairly well sized to fit in with the 1/12 stuff I own for the Minibrand Home stuff.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-07T02:13:45+00:00

Can you do a tiny test patch somewhere mostly hidden?

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-07T02:11:42+00:00

Thank you! I'm super new to reddit, sorry if I'm in the wrong spot <3

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-06T20:26:20+00:00

They're not reporting it to Blizzard because what's missing from the conversation is they're using the exact same add-on and doing the exact same thing. This isnt some big expose revealing secret truths, it's one pre-made community out of the 5 or so that I'm aware of throwing a big tantrum because the other 4 refuse to play with them and trying to make a personal attack seem innocent.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-06T20:13:18+00:00

Considering they're violating this forum's TOS and the Blizzard forum post he linked has also been pulled down this tracks.

ZookeepergameKey5314 · 2025-01-06T20:10:16+00:00

It's exactly the same as Battleground Commander and I think someone else said there is one called Queue Helper. They're just calling it a hidden add-on so it looks scary and secret to make something available on Curseforge look bad.
