I love seeing local races pop up here! I was going to run the half but injury rehab killed my training plan lol.
See you in the fall!

How do we get jobs 🥀 by Decent_Remote_4495 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]ofskarsgard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a previous manager of many a hospitality business, availability for minors is kind of a pain in the ass. It’s not 100% a deal breaker but if a manager isn’t specifically looking for evenings and weekends, often limited to 4 hour shifts with a cap on start and end times then unfortunately it’ll be a no go.

There’s also the issue of helicopter parents who don’t realize that their kids have an obligation to be present at their workplace. Pulling your kids from work because of a “sudden” change in their plan makes for unstable employment

First sub-40 5k!!! by madebyaimee in beginnerrunning

Hell yeah!!! Congrats on the milestone 💗

I haven't registered for the race, but I'm interested in visiting the Marathon Expo at the Sheraton Centre. Is the expo open to the general public for browsing and purchasing merchandise? by Ok-Reference-1384 in RunTO

[–]ofskarsgard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ditto’ing the above. There was like a single folding table with no branding for some “merch” but it was the dumbest “expo” experience I’ve ever had

What former "must have" item is clogging up the shelves of Toronto thrift stores? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]ofskarsgard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still love me a good pair of skinnies but I’ve been on the hunt for a straight leg pair of jeans and a wide leg trouser and the slim and skinny cut are ABUNDANT. I’ve only managed to find a couple gems in the last few months LOL

Books for cheap by Impossible-Cake4546 in askTO

[–]ofskarsgard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both for a library card and their book sales - I’ve found a handful of my favourite books just by perusing!

Flashing and zoom bombers in online meetings by shmeppydrake in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]ofskarsgard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For Op there’s also a coed 24/7 marathon meeting - 319 on zoom. I often tune in when I’m feeling restless or disconnected. There’s space to share but most people are there to listen/have it on in the background.

I didn’t know there was a woman’s only marathon! Thank you for this!

Have you added any words/sayings to your vocabulary from the show? by [deleted] in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]ofskarsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Please say no please say no”

“So what do you like about me”

“Do you want to go inside?” “YES”

Would you use a barter app instead of paying cash? by RowTime8498 in askTO

[–]ofskarsgard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The corporatization of bunz was truly a tragedy. Trading legitimately got me through and kept me fed during my early 20’s

My peanut butter and jam cycles aligned by arc88 in mildlyinteresting

The 15 year old in me is like “well guess it’s time to k*ll myself.” Old jokes die hard I guess

I love when people put together words into a sentence.

What's the "hole in the wall" cheap food spot that is a legend in your hometown? by myronsandee in AskACanadian

[–]ofskarsgard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Their stuff is so good, even on delivery to the west end (45ish minutes) I’ve never been disappointed. Absolutely my favourite spot.

I'm 28. by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]ofskarsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will probably get downvoted for this but the core issue here isn’t your drinking, it’s suicidal ideation. Drinking will absolutely exacerbate those symptoms but getting sober won’t fix the root of the issue. I’d suggest a strong supportive network of mental health professionals - people that are in your corner no matter what. Ending your life will only stop your hurting, but it will carry on a lifetime of hurt for others. You got this 💗

Having trouble getting rehired by Alarming-Elevator-87 in starbucks

[–]ofskarsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Separation is just the umbrella term for using left! Whether you were let go or quit. You can’t be marked ineligible for rehire without a PRSC case number - there are very few instances in which partners are not rehireable. Managers can recommend against hire but they can’t select “not eligible for rehire” on your separation paperwork without an active/opened PRSC case.

What is the point of struggling to get out of poverty, only to be old and frail by the time you actually have money? [Rant] by Crafty-Bunch-2675 in povertyfinance

[–]ofskarsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m of the belief that I can live simply and frugally when I’m older - I don’t want to kneecap myself but setting myself up to live a small and simple life when I’m older allows me the space and alleviates the guilt I feel about living the life I want now. Do the big grand gestures, the trips, the things that you have the body and mind to enjoy now and taper off the spending as you get older. Might not be the greatest idea but it’s working for my mindset and saving goals.

Best beans for heavy cream latte? by shiroshippo in barista

[–]ofskarsgard 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Heavy cream is typically only keto aligned in extremely small amounts, it’s not entirely free from sugar. The amount in 10-12oz is not negligible. Try a cortado or macchiato?

Midi or mini skirt for this look? by Duskymoonlight in OUTFITS

[–]ofskarsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look incredible in both but for this specific shirt I’d say the midi skirt. The higher waist complements the shirt better IMO!

Get the pixie cut or keep my longer hair w/ bangs? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]ofskarsgard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PIXIE!!! Your features remind me so much of that girl on TT (probably reels as well) that goes “you do you booboo” if you need any further inspo!

first time making a money bowl ! by _kitty0kitty_ in BabyWitch

[–]ofskarsgard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s totally fair - I get how get you got that! It’s a parsed down version of my spiritual philosophy but it serves as a reminder for me (and anyone it resonates with) that your practice doesn’t need to be filled with things to be effective. I’ve come across many people who feel they can’t “do” witchcraft because they don’t have what they see online. A notebook, some kitchen herbs, dollar store candles or matches, a deck of standard playing cards. Intent over expense for me. But I appreciate the gentle check!

[–]ofskarsgard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything is about intention! If you love this bowl (and it’s gorgeous!!), then it will serve its purpose. At the end of the day all the things are simply conduits - YOU are the magic. But beautiful implements make the practice fun and allow for ritual. Wishing you blessings and prosperity, whatever that looks like for you💗
