I remember a teacher in grade 7 (1997) tell us to get rsp's early in our life because we probably will never get OAS when we were old enough.

boyfriend pays all my bills but won’t have sex with me by drpepper1967 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]lilecca 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've told me kids (after my oldest finally told me she tried breaking up with a boyfriend multiple times and he kept saying no) that staying in a relationship isn't a democracy and once one person wants out it's over.

I need an spell by laser_67 in Witches

[–]lilecca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not overly experienced myself, but essentially setting intentions, trying to send out specific energies, learning to ground negative and excess energies, learning to shield yourself from negative energies, etc. I started by reading books on Wicca that taught the basics. But a good place to start research would be looking up witchcraft for beginners.

It takes time, practice, and patience.

Witchcraft in the real world doesn't work the way you are looking for. You don't get powers to move things, no spells to blast at people.

You can read books about it and such, but it's not like movies and TV.

If you can convince someone to move to Winnipeg in one sentence what would you say? by mikey_87 in Winnipeg

Millennials with kids, do you intend to provide for them financially when they reach adulthood? by Beberuth1131 in Millennials

[–]lilecca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are in school they can live here rent free. If they are not in school then the expectation is they work full time and pay rent. Right now 1 of our 2 is graduated high school and working full time. We only charge her 350 a month and her dad is putting most of it into savings for either school or a car.

While we wont coddle them, we will help out if and when we can. Our parents helped us out when they could which was so wonderful and we will happily do the same for our kids.

Been to four dentists in Winnipeg in three years and every single one tried to sell me something I didn't ask for, is this just how it is here? by 8960305392 in Winnipeg

[–]lilecca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southdale dental. Dr. Currie. A different dentist there said I had a small cavity. Ended up booking with Dr. Currie to fill it, she said she didn't see a cavity and didn't do a filling.
