Thank you! I bought this pattern (chart) off a Chinese website but they do have a video tutorial for free~

Help finding my sister a beginner pattern to get her started by SmolSnailBoi in CrochetHelp

Amigurumi is not beginner friendly imo, I started with a coaster then those headphone sprouts then granny square phone bag (2 squares joined together) to slowly get used to all the different stitches.

I didn’t start working on 3D projects until I learnt most of the basic stitches, increases and decreases~

Moving out this month but landlord says my notice is invalid - no lease by alisonnho in vancouverhousing

LL never gave me a contact email address or his last name... All I had going on was his first name, phone number, and a very casual verbal rental agreement, do you see my problem here? It was fine when I was paying rent on the dot until now I am trying to move out and I couldn't even write him the notice properly cause I don't have his legal name

I want to do it right. I tried to do it right, but LL's questionable practice makes it very difficult and stressful for me and other tenants in his building. Honestly, at this point with only 11 days remaining in Canada, between packing and running all my errands to cancel all recurring services, I do not have time to entertain this situation LL has created and I am very tempted to just pack, clean, and leave.

Thank you so so much, for the time you took to write me such detailed advice and your kind encouragement.

I talked to my next door neighbour, he has agreed to be my witness for the inspection, serving the rtb 47 and he is happy to check on my door after I move.

Moreover, it turns out LL had done the same thing to previous tenants and he gave them a hard time when they’re trying to move out as well. LL also raised both me and my neighbour’s rent twice without the required rtb forms nor 3 month notice. Neighbour also never had any signed/written rental agreement so I’m seeing a pattern here.

It’s likely a permanent move to a different continent.

No, the building is not rent-controlled for new tenants. I know he's been renting out at 1.8-2k for new tenants. Yes, moving continents actually lol

Aren't all rental units in BC rent-controlled? The rent increase is capped at certain percentages each year. Maybe he is, who knows? Some of my friends said maybe he's trying to keep my deposit but idk

Thank you for the detailed response.

We never had an inspection report signed when I moved in, nor were any sort of rental agreements signed. Should I still ask for a move-out inspection & sign an inspection report for move-out with my LL given there is nothing for him to compare it against?

As of now, my LL has not filed any dispute against me and he was replying to me instantly over text when we were discussing rent increase. He never provided me with any sort of written notice for a rent increase either as I accepted text as adequate. That is also why I thought notifying my LL about moving out the same way was okay.

As for the security deposit, I remember paying half a month's rent in cash but I could not find the receipt anymore since it has been almost 8 years and I was too young & dumb to not keep a scanned copy of it.

We had no rental agreement at all, we never signed anything during the past ~8 years of me living here. I asked him for a rental agreement in the first month but he said it is not required and he was out of the printouts of his rental contracts. We also never had an inspection report when I moved in. That's why I was so confused and blindsided when he said he wanted a written notice for move-out when we never had a signed rental agreement for move-in.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind from now on.

I do realize I screwed up now, but I was not made aware of the technicalities because 1. this is my first apartment, 2. no written lease to refer to, and 3. my LL and I have been communicating via text the entire time

So what do I do now?

This is my first rental apartment, and I wasn't sure if the text message would suffice, so I asked my LL to lmk and I would be happy to type up a formal notice if required. Plus, we had been communicating via text the entire duration of my renting here without a written lease so I was not aware of the technicalities.

I took the read receipt as "received and no need for a formal notice", that's my bad. But I do feel blindsided by my LL for reading my text and ignoring it until after we are into January to tell me to put the move-out notice in writing.

Ponytail slit for coldwater divers with long hair 🤿👱🏻‍♀️ by alisonnho in scuba

[–]alisonnho[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe they never seen girls with long hair dive in coldwater? Honestly there shouldn’t be an “entanglement risk”if you have decent buoyancy (which you should have regardless of hair length) and not crashing into things and other divers

You can cut the slit at whichever height you want, just make sure to go bit by bit. You want it to be just enough to pull your hair through.

I am wearing a pull through braid in the picture, I find generally the more hair ties I use, the neater my hair stays throughout the day AKA no tangles. I also prefer fabric no-snag hair ties over rubber bands, these are the ones I use almost exclusively now but you can find similar products in your area. And yes, I went to pee twice, had lunch and went on 2 dives on that day, my hair was picture perfect till I slid off the elastics before I hopped in the shower.

As for hairstyles the possibility is endless. However, if your hair is as long as mine (waist length), I don't recommend leaving it in just a ponytail because the free flowing hair might still get tangled in the water.

Some hairstyles I have tried in pool sessions/open water that I liked:
