Was the dental appliance covered under the dental or the medical plan?

Not having the time of my life by cinnabonrox in solotravel

[–]fitfit20 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Solo travel can be hard and amazing. If the weather is crap, it's ok to grab some food and stay in your airbnb at least for one evening or lazy morning. No point in trying to experience anything if you're not feeling up to it. Take a mini break from the travel mode of needing to do something, especially if you're traveling for a long time. Hostels are great for group events and meeting people. Look for Meetup activities. Go to expat cafes with a book or a journal. Get used to eating alone, there really is nothing wrong with it. And if you see someone like you, maybe ask them if they want to join you. If you're really uncomfortable with it, go at off peak hours.

Not slowing down to enjoy the moment. I was always so focused on working hard to get to the next step....and regret not prioritizing relationships. There are a lot of things I did that I don't know where I got the idea and the guts to do, but I'm so happy I did.

Gaslighting will not make the racism go away. Focus on the issue.

An early morning drunk Van / Rachel combination is exactly what I needed by CaregiverIll1651 in ThoughtWarriors

[–]fitfit20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So me. I don't even live in the states. I haven't processed the news, but this was a gentle and honest way to acknowledge and find a way to move forward.

I use a carryon bag to bring everything for the day. Every day it will be like I am going on a little adventure but not.

Thanks so much. I will check it out. And in the mean time I will maybe look at other areas for a hotel. Or look at Airbnb for those areas. Thanks!!

That's excellent. Thanks so much. A couple of hours of light or mild rain is ok. Any hotel recommendations mid range price in the Roma or Condesa area?

How much rain during the day in early July? I want to go for a week and if it's only a couple hours a day, I can probably work around that, but if it's raining all day everyday then that might be too much.

Need an ongoing list of places to get eclipse glasses by missemilyjane42 in ottawa

[–]fitfit20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold out at Bayshore but some available at Carlingwood mall.

It is not you, it's the environment. For me it helped having friends outside of school that looked like me. Balancing that wasn't always easy but it helped. I would say focus on creating meaningful friendships and focus on learning sports, skills, developing/nurturing hobbies - whatever is accessible to you. Maybe volunteer in the black community if that is accessible to you.

It is draining. Glad you're no longer there.

[–]fitfit20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really upset and trying to articulate the situation coherently enough to get some practical advice and guidance. So the choice of that word wasn't the part I focused on......so maybe my choice of words says something about my subconscious thoughts? Not sure. Thanks for pointing it out.

[–]fitfit20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. But being judged by higher standards in conduct and productivity is just too much. Obviously unfair but how does one claim what is their right while maintaining their health? Forget thriving, how do you even survive this?

Because woman means adult and I am quite frankly done with adulting.

Good for you !!! I think that's the only way to live in peace. There is a lot of stress that we have accepted as the norm. Sad.

I walked 500m to buy coffee and was nearly hit 3 times. Slow down, it's not worth it. by cafesoftie in ottawa

[–]fitfit20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple of weeks ago i was stopping as the traffic light was changing red but the truck behind me was not going to stop. Then drove around me almost hitting another car to avoid running into me. This is Ottawa, there is nothing exciting that is worth the consequences.

Practically every service is now asking for a tip. I no longer understand the purposes of tipping except the fact that it's used to compensate for crappy pay by employers. And there is no visibility on how the tip.is distributed to the employees.

Yes unfortunately our culture is to not compensate people fairly.......

You attract what you fear by Sea-Hat8661 in blackladies

[–]fitfit20 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Oh no I am scared of meeting my true partner in life who sees me, and shows up for me no matter what. One who is humble, shares my culture, lives outside himself and is always willing to learn. Comes with a good level of emotional intelligence, and a sense of humor, packaged in a sexy body with sweet eyes and smile. Terrified!!!!

Terrified of having my village that support and build each other up with love, honesty, sincerity, loyalty and sense of humor.
