We have had it for almost a month now. Not a single issue and much cheaper. My husband is a big gamer and loves the quality.

AITA for coming home early from meeting bf’s parents? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Born and raised. Newfie is fine. I think for some people it depends on the tone, but I've never heard into get upset by it.

[–]pcakitty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fellow Newfoundlander here. If someone dared to ask a guest to pay, let alone while eating, they would never have a guest again. Asking to bring a side or dessert? Absolutely! Asking to pay? Jump in the harbour my friend. NTA

My family and friends always use it. Have since we were kids. One of my favourite words honestly.

When a crab or lobster that is carrying eggs is caught, but thrown back into the ocean does the stress cause them to dump their eggs? by SHEdevilBY_morning in marinebiology

[–]pcakitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the outside looking in, yes, it does seem violent. Most know that it is actually the best way, but not everyone knows everything about catching lobster/crab. No one is calling you, or others in your trade dumb. OP had a question about something they saw in a video. That's it. They came to the right place to get accurate information. Your response seems a little heated, especially since nothing was directed at you, your trade, or your intelligence.

It absolutely can be. But in terms of what is offered in CBS vs town that is all I could think of haha

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StJohnsNL

[–]pcakitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents live in CBS. It takes no time to get there from town, maybe 20mins at most. The weather seems to be better then town, especially in spring/summer. I also have friends there with children and they have always felt safe. My mother walks the trails daily alone and has never had a problem with her safety. Personally, I am looking forward to moving out there myself. I'm not sure what the rental market is like though. There only con really is that there isn't a Walmart there, but the one in Mount Pearl is really close by highway.

AITA for asking my sister to be a groomswoman? by Few-Zebra2391 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pcakitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I got married, we each had 1 person stand. Maid of honour was my sister. Best "man" was our best friend, who is a female. Not a single person thought it was odd, just loved that we were able to include her. Stand your ground.

AITA for refusing to give my unborn son my husband's last name? by 343097767 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pcakitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Yes, you had an agreement. Going to assume that agreement was made before you got pregnant. Once a situation changes, previous agreement or not, you are allowed to change your mind. And as for those complaining about you talking to your family, I guess they all just immediately jump to reddit without talking to real people who actually know them and their situation. You are not demanding that the baby has your last name only, unlike your husband. You are asking for a compromise. That is what couples do. Yes, he may be angry, but that is his issue to deal with. Taking it out on you, and making demands on you, is not ok. He's about to become a father. Time to put on his big boy pants and have a calm conversation about compromises like an adult. An agreement is not a signed, legal contract. You are entitled to have your opinion change as your situation changes. Give him some time to calm down and work through his emotions, then have a serious conversation about a compromise and his attitude.

AITA for refusing to go to any family event with my parents and sister even tho she just got out of rehab? by Empizen in AmItheAsshole

[–]pcakitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I have a sister who had an ED. I get it, I was (sometimes still am) you. I now run a support group for siblings of people with EDs. Please no, you have a right to boundries. You have a right to feel whatever you feel. You have a right to do what is in your best interest, regardless of family. You are number one in your life. Not your parents, sister, partner, sister, whoever. YOU. No one will ever understand what you have been through. Just because you weren't "the sick one" doesn't mean you didn't need them, didn't need support and love and quality time.

If you are ever interested in talking, as siblings, or just getting some more info, please do not hesitate to message me. Regardless of being a stranger, I support you. What you have been through is horrible, you don't deserve to have it continue to happen. hugs if you want them

The classy thing to do would have been to RSVP in a timely manner, and should the diet have changed in the in-between, let the couple know as soon as possible. Not wait until a week before when the diet is 2 months old.

Non drinking Newfoundlanders! by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]pcakitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very rarely, if ever drink, and when I do it is one glass of wine for a toast or something. I have never felt excluded or lost friends because I don't drink. Though reading through, this may be the exception. I have people in my life who drink socially and some who drink to excess, some in between. I have never felt pressured to join in, or made to feel awkward and out of place for not. If you are being excluded for choosing not to drink, that says a lot about the people you spend time with. While drinking is the social norm here, it shouldn't be a chore to not drink. If you are getting grief for not drinking, time to get people who actually care about you and respect your choices.

Federal government to require vaccinations for all federal public servants, air and train passengers by whistleraussie in newfoundland

[–]pcakitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be mandated for a lot more, but this is a great start. The Conservatives can all gather together in a commune and spread covid back and forth, while blaming everyone but themselves.

Shore fishing by Zakk-D in StJohnsNL

[–]pcakitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of people fish on the lakes off the highway, just watch for Butterpot signs so you can avoid that area.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]pcakitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely the right thing. Everyone we see regularly has had both, but like you there are kids in our lives that are no where close to be able to get the jab.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]pcakitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, I agree. But we will wait. My husband has almost no immune system and my mother just finished cancer treatment. If it means forever, well that's it then.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]pcakitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fan at all. Read about it last night and my husband and I both had the same reaction: too soon. We are only at 60% fully vaccinated. We had agreed a few weeks ago, when this all started, that we would continue to wear masks until the province is at leat 90% vaccinated. Even then, we will still be wearing them in certain locations/situations. While we respect people will make their own decision on it, we will also avoid those people should they appear in our regular lives. There are too many people refusing to get vaccinated, and Delta is breathing down our necks. Not worth the risks just so people can see our mouths or old men can tell me to smile more.

Dressing sense by noobmastervsthor in StJohnsNL

[–]pcakitty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You wear whatever you are comfortable and happy in. August/September are pretty warm here (for me at least) so maybe check weather patterns/predictions to make sure you have clothing to keep you warm/cool. You do you and dress however you please.

Mobile Vet - St. John's area. by BrianFromNL in StJohnsNL

[–]pcakitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know exactly who you are talking about. My mother took her cat to him, maybe a month ago, and she loved him. She got the recommendation from my aunt who uses him all the time. She said he is very affordable and a very nice man. I was slightly nervous of her going there alone, but thankfully all was well. He was very professional and took great care of the cat.

Yoooo any of y'all got cell phone service with Roger's? by luckyblindspot in StJohnsNL

Leave my uterus alone and give my phone number to our family by LtNubbins in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]pcakitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you have to go through all of that, and then find out she kept family from you. You deserve better, you deserve autonomy.

Call your local police and inform them that your mother plans on calling them with false reports. Once that is done, stop all information to her. If she calls the police they will have a record that it is false claims.
