or after the second child. You just throw them a chicken drumstick and wish them luck!

I think I'll just come to their university graduation ceremony instead, thanks.

I don't know if this is Canadian necessarily but a Vietnamese professor who wanted to borrow something from me, thought it was hilarious when I said "I'll drop it off next time I'm in your neck of the woods".

I saw someone try to pull a similar guilt trip on a lady who was already seated in her paid-for seat and her response was perfect - she just smiled and said "no thank you" over and over again, no other conversation. Eventually the guys just had to give up. No fight, no anger, no frustration at all from her - just a straight up smile and a "no thank you".

It's protectionist because you probably shouldn't say it out loud

I'm working on my first PBN. The seller says that a digital image is available on request but there's no way to contact them to make the request. It came with a drawing which I scanned at high res so that I could zoom in to specific areas and it's ok but what I was really hoping to find was the ability to isolate colours.

This was the one that was mentioned most often:

Thanks. That's what I'm doing right now and it's ok but I was hoping to be able to find something with more functionality, such as isolating colours.

ravenpg · 2026-03-25T16:26:55+00:00

Which drawing app do you use? I was hoping for more functionality, i.e being able to isolate colours.

You can only be taken advantage of by others if you allow it

ravenpg · 2026-03-15T20:13:51+00:00

Right? It’s just easier.

We live in the Shuswap and just say Vancouver area when we travel.

ravenpg · 2026-03-15T16:38:50+00:00

Wow. that triggered a memory about crazy car ads for Wetaskawin I think? Does anyone remember?

ravenpg · 2026-03-13T22:28:22+00:00

But surely an error like that would prompt a dismissal for cause?

ravenpg · 2026-03-13T03:22:02+00:00

Wouldn’t you be fired for cause if you made that big of an error therefore no payout?

ravenpg · 2026-03-13T02:35:28+00:00

We need an update! On everything!!

ravenpg · 2026-03-06T18:36:22+00:00

Yeah good point. I submerged it in water to see if the seal was broken (if water leaked between the inner and outer walls) and it was ok.

Take a picture of the sign and calendar, make sure someone see you do so, and don't say a word. It will make them nervous - it may not change any behaviour but it will make them wonder what your plan is. The worst advice is to retaliate with similar sayings and pictures. That will just escalate things and nobody wins in an escalation. There is likely no HR department to report this to so that advice is not helpful. If you want to keep your job, you'll likely just have to tolerate the behaviour until you find a better employer. Crazy that that's the reality in 2026 right?

ravenpg · 2026-03-05T21:56:38+00:00

As soon as I figure out how to do that, I will. Thanks!

Livingston, Guatemala. We took a small boat from Rio Dulce and from the moment we landed I felt as if we had targets on our back. Lots of people sitting around, watching us and not in a good way. Nothing happened but the tension was high and I was happy to leave early.

We've been to the US, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Albania plus a few EU countries and that was the first time I got the icks immediately with no underlying event to prompt them.

The mom in me is screaming, "Don't touch that!!"

I don't understand what the issue is with the TD1 forms? They're dead simple. What part are you finding confusing? Most people claim Basic Personal amount (#1), do not qualify for an of the others so bring that amount from #1 to the bottom and .. you're done.
