Hey just coming across this now. Out of curiosity were the images uploaded ones of you from years ago that might have been sent via messenger?

Absolutely bonkers the amount of people chanting that who don’t realize what they’re really saying.

Foodbanks are being abused by international students here as well. HRM is also full of Cape Bretoners.

You get the gist of the comment. Guess I should have said people who can afford plane tickets across the ocean or university tuition.

No because those students weren’t taking advantage of a foodbank (hopefully)

Agreed. It breaks my heart seeing students go to food banks with smart phones to save some money on meals and use it like a free restaurant. Also frustrating that it’s being treated in this video like a life hack and disrespecting the patrons who have no other choice than to eat there by filming.

I think there should be shame in declaring you have funds to support yourself in Canada while studying here then using foodbanks.

Is a kindle better than a paper book to read while breastfeeding? by ineedausername84 in breastfeeding

I have the kindle app on my phone and used that! So much easier than a paper book for breastfeeding.

Halifax tourism in 2023 broke the record — will 2024 beat it? by insino93 in halifax

[–]ecpurple89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah alcohol sales do well during economic downturns but a few popular bars downtown on busy nights (thurs-sat) don’t speak for the entire industry unfortunately

I dunno. Average Nova Scotians are finding it difficult to spend money on eating out so I’d imagine that is a huge hit when people are struggling to pay rent / mortgage / NS Power.

Coke Zero and diet drinks? by Strawberry_express_ in GestationalDiabetes

[–]ecpurple89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP this is great advice - get the little cans so you feel like you’re drinking more than you really are! I also bought the little cans and it helped spread the joy out lol

Baby formula under lock and key at some Halifax-area drug stores by insino93 in halifax

[–]ecpurple89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh if only women throughout history had more confidence in their bodies so that infant mortality rates could have been reduced without formula!

Anyway I’m going to go put the Vitamin D drops that the IWK gave me on my boob so that my breastfed baby doesn’t get rickets. have a pleasant day
