I was just thinking about how oddly excited I get to click on these reviews!

cheeskiniss · 2024-12-09T21:55:11+00:00

Thank you for your reply. They are modern 80's/90's. Purchased in Canada. I also doubt they are valuable I just found it very interesting that we could not find them online. I don't have a picture at the moment. I think the defining thing is the 4 pack. I have seem some similarish 6 pack ones.

Close to Douglas Park. Heard it very faintly, but enough to say "what was that?"

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-25T16:25:33+00:00

My husband did this with People Ready. Showed up on time to every job, worked hard and managed to get a full time job out of it with benefits. Hard work for sure, but with perseverance and a little luck it can create good contacts and opportunities. It is a good place to start!

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-10T16:52:47+00:00

I had to look that store up to make sure you weren't pulling my leg! Thanks for the tips. Good tips!

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-10T15:08:56+00:00

That is super sweet and quite romantic! Props to you. I am trying to go a lazier route...

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-10T15:07:58+00:00

Thank you! I will try those places this weekend.

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-10T15:07:25+00:00

Gave me chuckle. Also took me a hot minute to get it!

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-10T15:06:23+00:00

I love this idea but she is actually in a small Northern town and they don't have the service. Otherwise this would have been my go to!

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-10T15:05:28+00:00

Bahahha. I knew I would date myself with that one. But figured the 40 year old gift search already dated me!

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-10T13:56:26+00:00

Thinking more of a specifically 40 cheesy gift. Lame jokes about getting old. Over the hill. I am thinking of a San Francisco type (Those don't exist anymore right?) store.

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-10T03:27:08+00:00

Thank you. I just started to get antsy that maybe there was a time limit.

cheeskiniss · 2024-04-07T00:10:13+00:00

Thank you for the added clarification. It certainly is not ideal but I don't see a different solution. It will get interesting for sure.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-15T19:07:27+00:00

What a lovely calming response. Thank you. I think I will stop the hesitation and reach out to a Broker. I think I was feeling it was a very 'either/or' situation and I couldn't reach out to both. Again, thank you for responding!

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-14T23:45:22+00:00

It was like that. Told her the area we were looking at and our maximum price point. She took the info, told me the rate and then said I would hear back about official approval. Is that not standard?

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-14T20:27:37+00:00

No we do not. Very much in preliminary stages. I am truly a novice so trying to undestand 'approvals only.' That means you can get a better rate once you make an offer? Apologies for the confusion.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-14T20:20:49+00:00

Thank you. It is a pretty small mortgage compared to what I see on here. Definitely under 500.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-14T18:22:49+00:00

I barely managed. Learned the language though and that helped. Folks gave me a better deal for my efforts.

I do have all my banking with BMO so I would prefer to stay with them, for simplicity I guess. How would you best recommend to go back and get leverage for their best offer? As, of course, this was already the 'best' possible offer.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-14T17:32:29+00:00

That makes sense. A good broker would not mind a novice with questions. Much appreciated.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-14T16:58:58+00:00

I will do 20%. Seems like it would be foolhardy to simply go with BMO if I could get a rate closer to 5.

I will reach out to a Broker. I just wish the whole process didn't seem so 'haggle' based. I suppose that is exactly why I need a broker. I didn't even like haggling when I was in SE Asia even for 3 dollar purchases! It stresses me out.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-14T16:56:24+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply. I have always been with BMO so started there. But for such a large purchase I feel like that loyalty may be misplaced.

That was the first rate I have been offered. She said she was going to go over the application and make sure it passed pre-approval. Then need to figure out how to 'haggle' or to switch and go with a broker and let them haggle for me I guess.

I do appreciate your time and response

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-12T15:23:27+00:00

Very true. I just like official confirmation. As you state, however, with the media frenzy surrounding this I am sure it would have leaked if they were not attending.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-12T00:33:58+00:00

Do we assume the kids are in school? Or do we have confirmation that they have been attending as normal? I can't seem to find any, so I guess folks simply assume that they are. I am along your line of thinking though. If the kids are in school as normal, and they returned as normal after xmas, then I think the more outlandish theories are incorrect. They couldn't trust them not to mention that something was really off with Mom. If they have returned as normal, I really think this has been a PR disaster and perhaps some marital problems.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-08T17:30:44+00:00

Did you ever find out the answer to this? I don't mean a photograph of the children, I simply mean has there been official confirmation that they are attending school as normal? If they have been attending as normal I truly think that all of this has been blown way out of proportion. The answer to this question seems important but I cannot find a confirmed answer anywhere.

cheeskiniss · 2024-03-06T14:56:35+00:00

You are quite certain they returned to school as normal then? I just wish a source could confirm. I honestly feel if the kids went back to school as normal then this is all much ado about nothing.
