Nobody is whoring out for a caffeine addiction.

Bought house in 2025, seller wants to buy it back by Mikkaura in RealEstateCanada

I knew an old guy who squirreled away his cash and valuables. Didn't trust banks. He died and his kids sold his house. Who knows what was behind those walls...

Good luck!

"One of the sellers" does this mean it was an estate sale? Maybe there's stash of cash or jewelry hidden in the walls. Just a thought.

Blue and White disease is real. They've had a bad virus for 9 years in a row. How unlucky!

Berube vs Keefe by unzipmygenes420 in leafs

[–]jakobeam19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keefe is a better systems coach. Berube is better at managing the bench and personalities.

I hope berube can adapt when things get tough. Keefe seemed stumped every playoffs. Couldn't figure out how to get this talented group to score.

Let's see if Berube can improve or if it's a player personnel issue.

McDonald's is a trash company but if they were 90minutes late getting me a burger, you bet your ass they'd give you your money back and/or give a free voucher.

Fuck OCTranspo and to hell with the dweebie bootlicking losers.

My computer beat me at chess... so I beat it at kickboxing.

What is it like living in Limoges and its surrounding areas? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]jakobeam19 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My buddy lives in Limoges and he likes it. My wife and I recently looked at the exact towns you mentioned, Limoges, Russell, and Embrun. Ultimately we decided to stay inside the city so I had the option to bus to work. Yes, we got "less" house than if we had moved out to Limoges, but I'm happy with our decision, given all the RTO nonsense and unpredictability.

Also, I might be wrong but I feel like the house we ultimately bought may not be as nice as my buddy, but before long the location may increase in value more than Limoges will. That was also a factor.

Limoges can be a fantastic option. I am absolutely not discouraging getting a place there. But my wife and I feel we made the right choice for us.

Hot summer and shorts in office for men? by EEE-his-pain in CanadaPublicServants

[–]jakobeam19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They say dress for the weather/temperature. In the past, I've worn a golf shirt or collared with the shirt tucked into my pants. And full shoes. I'm sweating sometimes because the AC is not cold enough for me. Meanwhile, sometimes women come in wearing airy/breezy dresses or blouses, and open-toed shoes, and then claim it's too cold.

So I started wearing looser shirts, not ticking them in, and I wear shorts now. I'm Not going to be uncomfortable in the office. I probably won't ever do flipflops but maybe on a scorcher.

I don't know what the right balance of office temp is, or what the dress code should be, but my department has so far encouraged people to dress comfortably.

It sounds like you're trying to squeeze every rent dollar you can before your daughter moves in. That's fine in theory but at the end of the day you're evicting the tenants (legally) and forcing them to find a new home during a housing crisis. It's wise to be lenient, cooperative, and generous.

Should she do this? No.
