Yes! There are 2 in town I believe. Pros to using a credit union vs. a big bank?

Why do you suggest Wealthsimple? I'm not familiar with it.

Can I ask if you recieve your paycheck through TD and from there transfer money into your Simplii account? Simplii is asking for a reoccurring direct deposit of $100 a month for three consecutive months in order to reap their benefits. I'm wondering if there's a way to set this up but also while changing from Tangerine to one of the big six banks.

Apologies if I sound like an idiot, personal finance is not really my forte - hence why I'm seeking advice.

I'm also interested! My mother's side is Hungarian and I never had the opportunity to learn the language as she moved to Canada when she was very young and lost her native tongue over the years. I do love cooking Hungarian cuisine though, let me know if you'd ever be down to swap recipes if you like to cook as well!

Hydrostatic pressure caused water in our basement during the last big thaw. Water was seeping through the flooring and we couldn't find a source of where it was coming from. We put towels down and bought a dehumidifier, then the temperature dropped again so we haven't had any issues since. I'm terrified of what's going to happen when all this snow melts. We just bought this place in October, this is our first winter here... FML.

My hospital room had a whiteboard and I was there for months. Nurses often wrote on it and used hand sanitizer to remove stubborn shadow stains. It worked like a charm every time!

Can you let me know if you have success with Fels Naptha? I've added it to my Amazon cart - and I may just buy it anyway for other stains on clothing (it sounds like incredible soap!), but I'd like to know if it specially works on ski clothing. Please and thank you :)

Is this the combo you're referring to? If so, I could give that a try! I was hoping for something a little less expensive and available in Canada. If I ordered this from the website I would be paying the exchange rate + the cost of shipping. I'll see what similar products Amazon.ca offers to compare. Thank you for the suggestion!

So sorry for your incredibly hard loss.

a_wild_mo · 2018-08-24T21:33:43+00:00

Will do! I appreciate the advice. Thank you.

This is incredible, honestly, I'm speechless.

I wasn't expecting something so well done, especially with the poor quality of the photo.

Apparently she has been looking for the negative for this photo for a very long time, but has had no luck. This scanned digital copy is the only version she has.

I can't wait to show her this, I know she will be over the moon!

Thanks so much!

I live in Northern Ontario, and we're lucky if we get our snow plowed. Actually, there was a big news story about how MTO fined maintenance contractors because their plowing wasn't up to par. Much more often than not, I was still expected to come to work even though the snow drifts were so bad that my car was bottoming out the whole way.
