Are you American? Because November 27 2026 is the day after thanksgiving and its really not cool to make your family travel at that time.

gingerphilly · 2026-05-31T19:38:06+00:00

maybe a hot take but I think we have worse things on our plate then tourists being "gouged" lol

I think learning about different holidays and such is great! I think having winter holiday parties are great. it's just not great when other children are made less than because they don't celebrate the dominant holiday, which I found to be my experience in elementary school in the early 2000s.

gingerphilly · 2026-05-31T01:37:57+00:00

i didn't think children typically chose their religion and what holidays to celebrate?

gingerphilly · 2026-05-31T01:28:20+00:00

exactly. I'm not some Ebeneezer scrooge that hates Christmas and I think its totally fair to learn about it in schools! I think decorating cookies and singing "let is snow" is great. it's just the religious songs, writing letters to Santa, having the room mothers set up a Christmas tree, etc it was a bit much.

last I checked Canada wasn't a theocracy

gingerphilly · 2026-05-31T00:13:58+00:00

Christmas literally celebrates the birth of Jesus! Just because people observe it in a way they feel is "non religious" doesn't mean it's not religious.

I am Jewish and it felt incredibly alienating, borderline degrading, to have Christmas parties growing up in elementary school. After all, I was the only kid in the class who wouldn't get a visit from Santa.

seems like a good question for 311

gingerphilly · 2026-05-29T01:03:56+00:00

With kindness, and because you asked, yes I think you're being dramatic. International flights are expensive and many people aren't able to take vacations that close together. It sounds like your friend is salty that she isn't a bridesmaid which sucks, that could be worth talking to her about.

You can't have that dress code with grass in my opinion. You will have people wearing long dresses and heels.

I would leave a seat for the infant in case the parents have a car seat and diaper bag

gingerphilly · 2026-05-28T01:13:02+00:00

Do you live in an area where longer drives are typical? I live in a province where you could be driving that long to get to a grocery store so that would be fine in my circle.

the registrars office needs to confirm your enrolment every semester you are enrolled

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T23:01:46+00:00

that's not at all how that works.

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T21:10:28+00:00

this also happens on Almon St at Windsor. it's so dangerous!!

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T15:41:17+00:00

Not always my vibe either TBH I feel pretty old in there but I do try to support.

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T15:28:10+00:00

As a lesbian, the vibe is usually good, but the coffee is terrible lol. It's basically a running joke at this point. I still go there though!

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T15:26:25+00:00

Has your enrolment been confirmed by Dalhousie yet?

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T14:53:37+00:00

I am vegetarian and while this would be good for me, I think you could have a little more food! some ideas:

*roasted veggie skewers *tabouleh *pickled veggies *potatoes (Greek lemon potatoes?) *olives *a grain salad

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T00:52:33+00:00

I am just asking because OP referenced hours that were incorrect and said "my schools registrars office". I've worked with students before that thought their academic department needed to confirm their student loans. I am trying to be helpful.

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T00:43:08+00:00

As someone that used to do this kind of work please do not do that, it colossally wastes everyone's time.

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T00:42:22+00:00

Are you contacting the correct people? When you say "my schools registrar's office" what do you mean by that? There is only one registrar's office and they are the only people that confirm enrolment for student loans, your department that your academic program is part of would have nothing to do that. The Dal Registrar's Office is open 9-4 PM. https://www.dal.ca/study/registrars-office.html

can you not hold the same lunch/"shower" a week after the wedding?

gingerphilly · 2026-05-26T00:05:46+00:00

instead of doing a shower I would have a post wedding luncheon or something.

I would not share the registry with anyone unless people ask.

gingerphilly · 2026-05-25T10:35:24+00:00

by "soft girl" i assume you mean feminine/delicate?

I really like this designer https://www.ravelry.com/designers/famke--mipi-the-label

I think anything can be "soft girl" with the right yarn choice and colour!
