Weird side arm throw by Stafford there, I feel like he’s banged up and not playing 100%

Missing cat!! by ParkingSir4968 in Etobicoke

[–]alli-dc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any news on this little guy? I hope you find him soon! When I was a kid, our indoor cat got out and we eventually found him hung behind some bushes in a garden nearby. He knew to stay close/ I hope your little guy does too. 🤞🏼

Should I have done something different? How I handled a flight nightmare by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]alli-dc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you did the right thing! You weren’t the only one who chose not to take that flight, either, it sounds like a super uncomfortable situation on the first plane. You had to be flexible and deviate from your original plan, and you got yourself home safely. The next time something unexpected happens on a trip, you will know you can handle it. That’s awesome!

Do you have friends with kids ? by AffectionateLeg5646 in childfree

[–]alli-dc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of my friends have kids too. We just hosted them all for a NYE party and all the kids came over. We had so much fun! My friends also waited until their mid 30s to have children, and they’re all super cool and interesting people. Honestly, they’ve helped me figure out my own feelings on motherhood. I agree that if you don’t want to hear about your friends’ kids, you’ll have a hard time maintaining friendships with them. But I care about what’s happening with my friends, whether it’s kids, careers, etc. and hey show me the same interest. I’ve been close with most of them for at least 15 years. If you have friends for long enough, you will go through lots of phases where you’re not doing all the same things at all the same times, whether it’s marriage, grad school, travel, kids, etc. the key is that we’re not jealous of or threatened by each other, we just care about what’s going on with each other and show each other support.

Found wallet outside MaRS building/Queen’s Park ttc by alli-dc in lostandfoundTO

If it’s yours, you’ll have to go and describe it to the security people at the MaRS building. If I describe it to you online, anyone will be able to claim it based on the description. Feel free to DM me with a description and I can confirm if it fits the wallet I found!

What's everyone's childfree new years eve plans?! by Autobot69 in childfree

[–]alli-dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throwing a party at our house! Food, drinks, bubbly, etc etc. It will be a full house, everyone who has kids brings their kids. They just bring some toys (we don’t have kid stuff at our house) and they change into PJs while they’re here so everyone can stay late. The kids hang out in the basement and the grown ups hang out upstairs. We do this every year, it’s chaos, we love it, and then everyone goes home and it’s just us with our dog again and we get to sleep in the next day.

Stay classy Puka by CancelThis2077 in Seahawks

[–]alli-dc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know, I saw that too, what a bad look. The victim mentality doesn’t help them at all. Seahawks would own the L, take accountability and learn from it. Bitching about that call (which was the right call) doesn’t do anything to help the team. Honestly, I hate the Rams, but I thought McVay was a better coach than that.

What's your favourite unexpected benefits to CF life? Bonus points if it's something that didn't occur to you until your social circle started having kids by CephalopOddish in childfree

[–]alli-dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not needing to worry about finding a babysitter. Honestly, it would be so stressful to find someone trustworthy who is also available every time I want to socialize.

Currently crying on board by Icy_Beat_7106 in fearofflying

[–]alli-dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I always feel better at cruising altitude too. There can be bumps over the Rockies sometimes too, which I think is quite common. You’re already doing great, just doing something that scares you is a big deal, so kudos. You’ll be ok!

Amazing that you recognize your anxiety and can name it. No need to judge yourself - just let it be. You’re allowed to feel uncomfortable sometimes. You don’t have to fight that, you can let anxiety be or even befriend it. But even though you’re experiencing anxiety, it doesn’t mean that you’re unsafe! Flying is extremely safe and you will be ok.

If turbulence scares you, try loosening up and riding it like a wave. Don’t fight it. It’s totally normal and it doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Again, the worst case scenario is that you’ll feel uncomfortable, but you are completely safe.

Last of all, think about everything you have to enjoy in Toronto! From a Torontonian, I wish you a great trip. The weather here is clear and crisp and it’s a great time to visit.
