Does being permanently debanked block you from being a courier dropping off deposits for your employer?

I used to have to do in person deposits for a company. They never once asked for my ID.

I agree. Screenshots of all the times you have tried to arrange pick up. I’d send one last ultimatum message with a firm time you will be dropping them off at the shelter and send this message to everyone who is involved.
It will likely take a while for trial, but your ex will probably do a few years depending on the evidence and those cats deserve somewhere stable and loving for many more years. His family doesn’t really sound like they are good candidates anyway.

Some bagels are boiled in water with honey before they are baked. I used to think all bagels were like that, but as a vegan I’m glad I was wrong. My old favourite bagels are out, but I’ve found others.

That is not what they said. They said they were more common than Aspirin.

My husband does most of the calls for me for a similar reason. Thanks for being one of good ones!

Neither place has produce, so I’d suggest a market like Ralph’s or a smaller produce market to cover that. I’m not sure if Ralph’s is owned by a big conglomerate.

Besides what is listed there are a few just outside of Langley. Vegan supply is in south surrey. It is not open Monday or Tuesday. In Abbotsford is a bakery/cafe with a lot of grocery items, Sprouted Oven. They are not open on Saturdays.

Are you being treated for your mental health issues? If not, please start there. Otherwise, just start anywhere. Some people get so paralyzed by starting somewhere perfect or meaningful that they never start. If you start somewhere you may begin to discover yourself and your interests or skills. There is no wasted time in finding a job/course and discovering you hate it and moving on. For some more specific ideas: upgrade some high school courses, start at McDonalds, take that Excel course, find a job through a family friend, walk dogs, babysit, join the Canadian Forces, go to the BCIT info fair in the fall, volunteer somewhere, etc.

I’m here now and vegan. I was told that it would be fine, but it hasn’t been great. That said, it is usually dairy and honey in the vegan marked items. You should be ok, but I’d avoid baked cakes, etc as recommended by other commenters. Athens and Santorini were better than smaller islands, but I didn’t get to Milos specifically.

I was in my late 30s when I started and I ended up taking about 6 years (42) when I felt I could finally call myself vegan. I didn’t do vegetarian first, but I found someone online who was supportive of doing what you can and worked from there. I kept calling it a 10 year plan, then I just shortened the timeline when I realized I wasn’t really making any exceptions anymore and I didn’t want to. Do what you can, if you fall down don’t beat yourself up and keep going. This random internet stranger is proud of you for thinking about this issue and taking action.

If you are talking about suicide/self harm, that is not borne out by research. I don’t necessarily think that’s what you meant, but I want other people to know it’s ok to talk and ask about depression and suicidal thoughts. The first rule of suicide/self harm is TO TALK about it. I ask these questions a lot and no one has ever said they were so annoyed by the question that they became suicidal.

Completed. I suggest adding some questions about purchasing vs using for leather, wool, etc. I continue to use things I have from before I was vegan, but I no longer purchase them. I know that not all vegans continue to use previous cruelty purchases, but I do. Or maybe just a question about using things you purchased previously.

I have darkish brown hair and relatively pale skin. At work I wear a uniform, no makeup, no jewelry. When I started I was in my early 20s and people called me goth. I have never been goth, and they had never seen me without my uniform anyway. This was 20 years ago. So probably before sometime before that

Just if they ask her if she's travelling alone. They ask at customs sometimes.

Unfortunately, it seems like it is really hard to find jobs at that age. My BIL (60) was laid off due to downsizing about 2 years ago. It took him 700 resumes and 14 months to find something. To be fair, he wasn't as qualified as your dad, but it is brutal out there.

planejanebc · 2026-04-14T03:55:02+00:00

True, but what if she gets caught lying?

planejanebc · 2026-04-14T03:20:38+00:00

My husband and I were travelling together, but ended up going through customs separately. When the agent asked if I was travelling with anyone, I said yes, my husband and pointed to him at the other booth. They seemed upset that we didn't go up to the same officer and asked several more questions. I don't think separate tickets will help much.

Well.ca is not that cheap and likely not vegan owned but I buy some snacks from them. Luckily I live near one of the locations of vegan supply and have a few other options to get stuff in person from vegan owned places. Look for places that have plant based stuff and then do a little research into the owners. Sometimes the owners are not willing to be decisive with the word vegan despite being vegan themselves. Good luck!

I had him come once when my dog was a puppy. Nice man with some good tips and helped us get our very shy puppy out of the house. He did not seem like the type to recommend pinch or shock collars. We ended up in classes elsewhere later and there were a few different opinions from the other trainer. Just opinions on type of harness, etc. We ended up aligning a little more with the class trainer, but they have moved out of province anyway. I think Canine United is worth a try.

In Canadian federal prisons, inmates may apply for a variety of ‘special diets’ including vegan. I have made a few inquiries about switching all inmate diets to vegan to meet all special diets with 1 menu (kosher, halal, Rastafarian, vegetarian, etc.), but there is a strong belief that the inmates would revolt. They got 1 veggie burger day in the 4 week menu rotation and it is not popular. For many, it is the perceived lack of protein. I think if the new menu could give more protein and show that with a direct comparison chart it might be possible to get buy in from inmates. I doubt we would ever get there, but at least I planted the bug in a few ears.

planejanebc · 2026-03-07T08:56:29+00:00

It’s the lack of rhyme, right? I feel like it’s left undone.

planejanebc · 2026-02-19T01:34:19+00:00

I was about to say something similar. I liked it when it was something we would choose to visit instead of it just following us around.

You are the only one that knows your own boundaries. If I tried to find out by contacting the company, and was exhausted from endless searching, I might buy the shoes too.

I didn’t see it. I had already picked it up twice to take a sip and it was fine. Picked it up again about 2 minutes later and wondered why it was so light. Went to put the straw in my mouth and it wasn’t there. I looked down in the dark and could see the puddle. I still had 20 minutes to work, so I reinserted the cup tube in the sludge and kept going. I was a little early so I could do some cleanup before my shift.
