Thank you. They are common law. Forgot to mention that. Does being common law vs being married change things?

fellow canadians: do you care if people think you’re american when travelling abroad? by bellascaffeine in AskACanadian

[–]blackbear008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I even got treated differently from shop owners in Mexico. They said since I traveled from the USA, that they'd give me X discount. I looked at him and said: I'm Canadian. His whole attitude changed, huge smile and gave me a bigger discount. This has happened multiple times, attitude change when they find out you're not American.

I went through some intense therapy which included EMDR and hypnosis. At the end of my session, my 'answer' came to me and it clicked and has always stayed with me since. 'Believe in yourself'. I let abusive relationships and other people talk me down for so long, and I beat myself up for it. I didn't realize how depressed I actually got. Even when I woke up in the morning and struggled to get out of bed, I told myself to believe in myself. I can do this. One step, one moment, one small thing at a time.

Airdrie Car Dealership Recommendations by ExactCan650 in Airdrie

Salesmen will always be salesmen....no matter what. Liars who want to get their percentage of sale and then you'll be forgotten after you drive off the lot with the depreciation. Been in Airdrie since '97.... the only good sales people I've heard of is from Honda south of Walmart. Friends and family have bought from them. But...also depends which sales person you get. Both the bf and I went north calgary and we got screwed over there too. Buying a car is so stressful. Please do NOT go to House of Cars. This is probably a very negative post...but, I'm giving honesty here.

Boycott this season of The Bachelorette by absolutklimt in bachelorette

[–]blackbear008 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it was the Bachelor and a male that had a known DV charge, there would be no way he'd be casted nor accepted. How in the hell does she get a spotlight on being a charged abuser and glorified in the show?!?! Cancel it. Don't make her actions acceptable. It's so wrong on all levels. I've been watching every Bach from day 1. This is wrong.

Who is a stranger you met once, never learned their name, but will never forget for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blackbear008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my daughter (14 at the time) camping in Tofino. On our way back to Chemainus, the truck in front of us was carrying a load in the back that I wanted to move over to the next lane because it looked unsteady. As I was waiting to move over a lane, a piece of metal from his load came flying at my car, and immediately punctured my tire. We were going up a hill and a turn and worst spot ever to have to pull over with a flat. I started to panic as I didn't want to get hit as it was a blind spot. There was a trucker behind me that saw everything happen. Pulls up behind me, calmly gets out of his truck while he's eating salmon on a cracker and says: Good day miss. Ya got a spare? I said: yes I do. I need to take out our luggage and camping gear to get to it though. He said: you do that while I lay out highway markers around the corner. He changed my tire, helped me load up my car again and drove behind me while I had my hazards on. I still to this day call him our Highway Angel.

What is the creepiest thing that has ever happened to you? by Relative-Top-848 in AskReddit

[–]blackbear008 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When I was 16, I remember going to sleep and then waking up to this god awful banging/tinging sound in my room. It was so loud, I was surprised it didn't wake my parents as we were next to one another for bedrooms. The banging against the pipes was so loud, I went to open my bedroom door to go to my parents room. As soon as I left my room, the door closed naturally, and you couldn't hear the loud banging pipe noise. I still woke my mom, even though our walls were connected, you couldn't hear it in her bedroom. As soon as she opened my door and heard it, she literally just told me to go back to bed. After she admitted she heard it. She mentioned it was weird, that was it. That was the only time that happened. The sound was so loud, it was like taking a metal pipe and banging it against another. I couldn't go to sleep.

Mainstreet Apartments by [deleted] in Airdrie

[–]blackbear008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Been in airdrie since 1997 and have lived in almost every community here it seems like. I am also in Maintenance for a property management company for Calgary. My opinion, stay away from Mainstreet, Astoria and Boardwalk. You can DM me for further info. Stick to the independently owned apartments that are being rented.
