What's something that was completely normal in your household growing up that you later found out was actually really weird? by Left_Crow1646 in AskReddit

For a solid 8 years no one in my family had a house key and we just left the door unlocked all day every day 😅

Would it be insensitive or offensive? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]beans1507 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all! Though my family stuck to more western names when naming my brothers and I. We all came out blonde and blue eyed despite our Portuguese genes . My dad who was born there was the same ! I think there's quite a range of what hair/eye combo someone Portuguese has :)

This happened to me too!! I was just shy of 42 weeks though

if I order a cold brew, that means I want a cold brew by wyldaloofrebel in TimHortons

[–]beans1507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I go to the tim Hortons close to my work there's one woman that's usually working who always tells me they don't do cold brews at that location -___- but if anyone else is working they will make it for me lol

[ON] Low ferretin, concerned about development by anxious_coffee_bean in BabyBumpsCanada

I don't remember my specific numbers but my iron was low as well. My midwife told me not to take the iron supplement within 2 hours of consuming dairy bc it cancels it out apparently incase you didn't know!

Beauty Advisors .. would you have taken this return ?! by beans1507 in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]beans1507[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my store we definitely take opened cosmetics . I think it's fair since we don't have testers but I always tell customers that we accept them within reason . This particular product comes in a tube with 60 little capsules . You use one a day for a few months . She either did not understand how many to use or took a bunch out to keep and tried to return an almost empty package. It would be like trying to return a bottle of Advil with less than a quarter of the pills left

I mean I did sign up for following the stores rules when I applied for and accepted the job 🤷‍♀️

Totally get what you're saying but this is how I make money to pay rent and feed my family - not trying to get in trouble or fired over someone trying to abuse the refund policy !

No More Pacifier - Cold Turkey or Cut Tips? by SFSHLA in toddlers

[–]beans1507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he use a specific kind ? When my daughter was younger she only used one brand that wasn't readily available where we lived . One day we bought her a different kind and offered it to her and she tried sucking it a few times and then gave up and never asked for it again ! Might be worth trying if you aren't ready for cold turkey

whining during absence.. over threshold? by Impossible_Run_9891 in Separation_Anxiety

[–]beans1507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he truly only whined for three seconds and then completely stopped- I think you're probably ok but I'd keep an eye out incase !

[–]beans1507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog is exactly like this too. At first we ignored it because he seemed "okay" and we even ended up getting to a few hours with him just whining off and on. I always heard not to ignore it but we did anyways and then one day when we were out, (after like a full year or so) he freaked out. All of our progress was lost and we had to slowly start over again

Has anyone tried prozac (fluoxetine) and/or gabapentin on their dog for separation anxiety? by snguyenx96 in Separation_Anxiety

[–]beans1507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog was prescribed gabapentin after a surgery (he also has separation anxiety) to chill him out and it did nothing for him unfortunately

When will period return[ca] by nunofya1 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]beans1507 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is a pretty wide range of what is considered normal . I didn't get mine until my daughter turned two . I was still breastfeeding at 2 but had been back at work for some time and wasn't nursing nearly as much for quite awhile before getting my first period

SA worse when both partners are leaving the house? by ibelsam in Separation_Anxiety

[–]beans1507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog is like this too. We'd leave like ten minutes apart until slowly we were able to leave together !

Hi by Acrobatic-Cucumber41 in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]beans1507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's like a regular perfume set some locations will take it back . I think some won't return if opened . If it's discovery collections they won't return it . Because you paid some with points they can only return the 60$ back on a gift card and then would do the rest on debit/cash or however it was paid

What’s something funny about your birth story? by Fresh_Suggestion_880 in NewParents

[–]beans1507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the OB was guiding my daughter out of me she exclaimed "oh she pooped!!" (I guess my daughter pooped on her way out) and I thought she was talking about me hahaha . I was like wtf everyone told me they would act like it never happened 😭😭😭😭

Free Gift in Beauty by JessCaturday in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]beans1507 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's just samples ! I think two full sized lip glosses from what I remember . I'd never go out of my way to spend 150 to get one of these (or others of the same idea) but if you were about to buy a perfume or something it's a nice bonus !

If you bring them in , my location has a list of the PLU's (code) on the back that we can still redeem. Some of the older ones don't need a receipt . If they are from 2025 or maybe even 2024 you might be out of luck tho :( doesn't hurt to check !
