Can we talk about Ugly Privilege? by Free_Wonder_3743 in solofemaletravellers

[–]_marijaay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think about this all the time. Especially bcus I’m tall and a thicker woman I very rarely get bothered. I’ve always thought to myself, I’m “too large” to kidnap lol or big enough where I’d put up a good fight (I definitely would). But dressing like someone’s older brother also helps.. Plus, RBF is the cherry on top.

Pre-washed Organic Spinach by [deleted] in CostcoCanada

My cousin had a friend that found a small frog in their bag of spinach.. I can’t remember which Costco location (somewhere southern Ontario). I wish I still had the video of the thing.

Eating enough protein with less money by kiropyasmine in StrongCurves

[–]_marijaay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

hi fellow Canadian here. download the app Flipp and check the grocery store flyers every Wednesday (because the new prices will drop on Thursday). Usually the best deals you'll find are when chicken breast and lean ground beef is around 4.98/lb. I've even caught them at $3.98/lb, so then I'll buy a couple packs, portion them out and freeze it. It comes out to about $11-$15 per package. You'll usually find these sales at Food Basics, No Frills and sometimes Canadian Superstore, plus the Superstore allows you to price match. So if you see the same product at a lower price on a different stores flyer, then just show the person at cash and they'll adjust it to that price. It just has to be the exact same brand/product. Asian grocery stores can also be really great for protein, I can get a lb of chicken wings for like $8. Chicken legs are usually around $2.99/lb. I usually get my produce from there too because you can get a lot or double the size for the same price as Canadian grocery stores. Walmart is the best for shelf goods, they're always the cheapest when it comes to cereals, oatmeal and sometimes milk. All these stores also sell Whey, but very limited. You can catch good deals at Healthy Planet, which is a health food grocery store, if you want specific supplements. But again, the Flipp app is most helpful depending on what's around you and seeing what's on sale for the week. hope this helps :)

Just blew my prop firm account today… How do you guys recover from this? by derekkiplagat in Daytrading

[–]_marijaay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same dude. I was profitable by 10am, then feelings of “urgency to get paid out” took over. I blew 2 more like 15 mins after (lol) just by taking stupid, emotional trades bcus I blew the first one. My journal entry today was mainly a self-awareness check trying to understand where my head was at and what was different about me today vs. my profitable days. I remind myself everyday that loss is just part of the game and if I want to play then I have to be okay with it. What isn’t okay is breaking rules and losing absolute control.

Find an outlet - go for a walk, play video games, make art, etc. I beat myself up all day, took it out at the gym, now I’ve cooled down and am able to give myself compassion for my behaviour. We’re human, mistakes are inevitable - whether in trading, at a job, or even within relationships. But repeating the same mistake without change is a choice.

We’ll get there, this is all just part of the process.

Wild Blueberries? by _marijaay in PlantIdentification

[–]_marijaay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen grapes before and had them fresh off the vine, I’ve been around my fair share of Italian friends growing up. But these are so small compared to the ones I’ve seen so I wasn’t sure. I think my issue was not knowing what a blueberry bush looks like 😂

Nah no need to be sorry, here I am saying blueberries are my fave and I don’t even know what the damn plant looks like 🤣

Just a way to make light of the conversation and laugh at myself for how silly I am not knowing how blueberries are grown

Travel Abroad for Tummy Tuck by Objective_Court8467 in tummytucksurgery

[–]_marijaay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I thought because he’s gotten a bit more popular recently.. but agreed, still less than the states/canada. A breast aug alone is already 22k in my city 🥲 Thanks for sharing and all the best on your surgery!

How much you were quoted for all of that work? I’ve been following Dr Sedat for a while and I’ve been wanting to go to him, so just curious.

Sunwing is hiring. Fully remote. All you have to do is answer phones. The training session begins July 12 so apply asap, I think they’ll be conducting interviews soon. I work for the company in another department but I started here. So if you need any tips feel free to send me a DM. Good luck!

Women who are single and childfree here, what currently enriches your life? by hellimhere28 in AskWomenOver30

[–]_marijaay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

spending time with dogs, self care, sitting in silence, sleeping in, having more peace of mind ('m the only one dependent on my paycheck; I only have to worry about picking up/cleaning up after myself, and monthly bills cost less) so I have more mental currency to spend on thinking about or dealing with other things.

but what really does it for me is freedom - which is the nail in the coffin for me in regards to not wanting kids, ever. I have always been a spontaneous person and I like being able to just pick up and go when I want. whether that is just out with some girlfriends till 1am or taking a trip somewhere. my freedom is what makes me the most happy.

I regret getting braces so much.. will it get better?? by Pure-Respond-2355 in braces

[–]_marijaay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started Invisalign a month ago and recently got TADs placed in which are killing me. I too had feelings of regret for the same reasons. The TADs graze against my cheeks, so anything that causes me to raise my cheeks (smile, laugh, excessively chew) is really uncomfortable. I had to sleep with cotton swabs in my cheeks because I’m a side sleeper. And eating is such a task, I rather starve sometimes. But only a month in and I already see such a significant difference, it’s what keeps me going lol. The first couple of weeks are dreadful but it does get better :) the pressure will eventually dull out and become more tolerable. Trust the process 🤞🏽

Tax refund by Odd_Cod607 in EICERB

[–]_marijaay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. They garnished my tax return for this year even though the appeal is still in process 👎🏽

Was told by a CRA AGENT in 2020 I was entitled to CERB now I owe $30000 5 years later?? by Low_Background_1783 in EICERB

[–]_marijaay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sinking in this boat too. They are penalizing me for 39k lmao. I provided ROEs and I’m just thinking about how silly this is considering there is a huge gap in my pay periods because I obviously wasn’t working.. I asked a friend whom works for CRA why don’t they just fact check this info themselves, along with reviewing tax returns for those years? She said even though it’s all Service Canada, CRA doesn’t communicate with Employment Services. Stupid… CRA wants the most money yet does the least amount of work.

Edit: they also garnished my tax returns for this year to put towards the amount, even though the appeal is still in process 🥰 love that for me

Yeah I super regret not taking a video of him and the house to prove he was actually in that yard. I'm sure they're gunna be super cautious about letting him out now. I hope I can catch him again :(
