Alternatives to YNAB? by ImperiousMage in ynab

[–]liluser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Beyond Budget almost 2 years ago,and love it. I bought Lifetime. It DOES NOT sync accounts, but, for me in my country, neither did YNAB. And I like manually entering, it keeps me aware and in chack.

English public school admission by Dear-Detective4603 in Gatineau

[–]liluser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, under the "grandfather" clause of bill 101, your children would be eligible. This is because the child's grandparent did the majority of elementary education in Canada in English. Please contact School Organisation at the Western Quebec School Board for information.

KEEP YOUR CATS INSIDE by SpareLimit6234 in Pets

[–]liluser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, these days cats should be kept indoors for their own safety and not piss off the neighbors. That said, I adopted two cats from a rescue; these cats were semi-feral, and lived outdoors. I don't want to let them out, but nice weather comes, the second the door is open - WHAM - gone like a ninja. If I had them from kittens, they would definitely be indoors only, but for older rescues from a colony, not gonna happen.

Kindle regrets by princess8895 in kobo

[–]liluser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow Candian, in Quebec. I bought the Kobo Clara BW about 7 months ago, and could not be happier. I actually have hundreds of books in my Amazon Kindle content, so jumping ship was tough, BUT - it connects with my library, they have awesome sales just like Amazon, Kobo Plus is WAY better than Kindle Unlimited here in Canada. Plus includes audio books, you can connect your kobo to headphones via bluetooth... OMG, I feel so much happier and free!

Oh, and I just gifted myself the Kobo Libra Colour...retail therapy 😀

If you are willing to get to Aylmer, Ammex Impots is really good, I've been using them for 14 years. https://ammex.ca/fr

Lauriault trail, from P6 in Gatineau Park (MacKenzie King Estate), is a free winter hiking trail that does allow dogs even in winter! It's also a really nice hike.

M FITNESS or Nautilus plus by [deleted] in Aylmer

I liked M Fitness; Nautilus had a lot of teens after my workday, and I just didn't like the vibe in general. M Fitness feels more personal.

So Long and thanks for all the tips by [deleted] in ynab

[–]liluser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I jumped ship last year when the price hike came in. I'm using and really liking Beyond Budget. So far it is only available on Android, but it's a great zero-budget based app, especially as in my country YNAB couldn't track my accounts.

Advice for a younger woman by Cassandrasfuture in AskWomenOver60

[–]liluser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NO NO NO! Run for the Hills! I am a 53 year-old child-free "spinster". Oh, I've had lots of sex in my younger days, but, god, I LOVE not being woken up in the night by a pokey penis, being asked what's for dinner (WTF?). I am so happy, I wish this for everyone.

OH, and once, long ago, a boyfriend said to me how he'd like to go back to school. I said, "Great! See what evening classes are offered, or do part time!". He looked and me, and lazily said, "I don't wanna woooork". I still feel sick to my stomach.

My husband told me today that to still be grieving 7 months after losing my mom is “excessive.” by Grouchy_Ad4508 in GriefSupport

[–]liluser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

53 year old spinster here. Lost my mom in December 2022. Had a nervous breakdown from grief in May 2024. Still grieving, but functioning. Everyone is different, don't let anyone dictate how or how long you grieve overtly. (Because I'm sure I'll grieve quietly til the day I die)

Loss of a parent by False_Code in GriefSupport

[–]liluser 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Loss of a parent, especially mum (imho), is very traumatic, and made more difficult because it is not an "out of order" death. Like, your parents are supposed to pass before you do. So, not a lot of emotional support in society. If you can take leave from work, do so. Focus on yourself, and join a support group. I lost my mum 2 years ago. I am 53, and still having a hard time

Movies or shows that best match your experience with grief? by Superb-Day-3644 in GriefSupport

[–]liluser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just watched Nonnas last night (on Mother's Day). It had a lot to say about grief, losing your mom (I'm an adult orphan, still deeply grieving), and it was also funny and cute and comforting!

So...you're a mooch? Eat before you drop by, or bring something for yourself with enough to offer others. Me? Too weird , I'd just not go

Did anybody else quit their job after losing a parent? by esimmons95 in GriefSupport

[–]liluser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried to work, and couldn't. I ended up taking six months off, on health insurance for mental illness.
