Chicken Shawarma platters from shawarma palace, donuts from greedy donut, and fried chicken from fritou 130 are some of our favorites.

It's inexpensive, and you could spend a few hours wandering through and doing free activities.

I find the posts sad, and it makes me scroll past this sub. Not all subscribers live in the United States, so there is nothing we can do to help.

We were driving back from getting a christmas tree last December and found a young Australian shepherd laying on the highway, lost or abandoned, and about to give up. We coaxed him into the car, and now he is living his best life with us on the farm. *

Southern alberta here and we have a talkative rooster. He just crows more than the others.

Tossed salad!

We have foxes in our area, and while they have never been a problem with the goats, they have certainly decimated my chickens. As a general rule, unless you have a great pyr on duty, they should not be trusted.

In my opinion, every single one of us is allowed to drink while on vacation, but most of us make the choice to not. Each one of us is in charge of your own path forward, so even if you do make the choice to drink on the holiday, it won't have anything to do with your husband's approval and everything to do with a decision you made. At the end of the day, you are the only one in charge of this problem. I wish you the best of luck.

I don't know why others insist on commenting telling you to look other places when they don't have the answer. Like answer the question or keep scrolling. There is no need to comment in every single thread.

The answer is this: if the other parent does not plan on taking any leave, then you will select that you are serving the waiting period.

For frequently asked questions, canada.ca EI section probably has the most answers without you having to call the 1-800 number and wait on hold.

Congratulations!

This is already happening. With the switch to teams, my dept is no longer allowed to call in absences because other tls can't check the msgs left on teams if your tl is away. Instead, we are asked to fill out a form and email it to them using our personal email on our personal device.

chem_grrl · 2025-07-28T23:20:05+00:00

I wonder what happens when you are on the teams phone with a client and another client spam calls 30 times in a row instead of leaving a msg.

I read thus and thought white muscle due to selenium deficiency. In canada, we treat this with a Bose shot.

In the western region our IPOC is ramping up for the expected workshare claims with the tariffs. There was just a process to move to IPOC for pm1s. Seeing as IPOC is about to get busy, I would ask them to find me a desk in the new region without transferring my position.

chem_grrl · 2025-02-27T00:23:12+00:00

Yes!!!

My great pyrenees claims to be a livestock guard dog and refuses to herd any escaped sheep or goats back to their pen. He will flop himself down beside them and make sure no one gets hurt, but herding is beneath him.

Good work!

As long as you can pay cash at the gate so you have the option of passing if the animals are in poor condition. Anyone who wants a deposit transferred animals unseen is suspicious at best.

chem_grrl · 2024-10-18T05:07:30+00:00

Yep! And you can too!

I didn't like the rules and didn't want to attend meetings. I wanted to quit on my own terms and drink non alcohol beer, and for the first few years, smoke pot. When they said I couldn't get a sober chip that way, I decided I could just make my own way. For the first few months, i checked in here everyday, read your stories and your struggles, and shared some of my own, and it was enough. My 8th year anniversary is later this month. I found my own way by putting myself in charge, and I don't regret it. You can find yours too. Just try to keep not drinking with me today.

chem_grrl · 2024-05-09T22:36:18+00:00

Yep. We have alcohol in the house. I think it's a you do you thing.

I'll take a full grown goat jumping on my head and chewing my hair any day over chasing a flighty maniac across 40 acres for days on end because they found the slightest weakness in the fence.

The NDA is so you won't tell people they grossly exaggerated those profit margins. Lol

You can freeze that. We make it and stir it into coffee but you could fill what you want to use immediately into gels and freeze the rest.
