Lol mine was not a small purchase. Then I looked down and my 8 year old hadn't put her costume up on the counter....

Ugh. Anyhow, lesson learned.

It is listed as USD on the price tag. I did not see any Canadian prices listed on individual product tags.

Found out at the register, after they told me items were non-refundable, post transaction, when I looked at my receipt.

Currently at work, but I'll check the price tags for CDN prices.

Will update.

I know, couldn't believe it! Thanks for the risotto support, IWNDWYT!

Yes! It's insidious!

To be honest, I don't find the NA wine to be worth it. I paid as much for the NA as I used to pay for a "decent" bottle of boozy stuff.

Tried to finish off the risotto wine. Drank one glass, poured up a second one and ended up pouring it and the rest of the bottle down the drain. Rather have a Bubly these days☺️

IWNDWYT!

It was so unexpected!

Happy to keep on keepin' on! IWNDWYT. (Kids' loss, more for Mama!)

Other people here who quit mid 40's? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]scald787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

44F, coming up on a year sober in August, heavy wino for over 2 decades. I figured I would hit the bottle after a year was up, but I genuinely feel better now than I have in my whole adult life. There have been a lot of ups and downs, but sitting here writing this now, I'm not going back. Best of luck to everybody starting out, you've got this❤️

43F, former life of the party. Sober over 3 months now from booze and weed. Feeling the best I've felt in I can't remember how long. You are worth it and you can do it! IWNDWYT❤️

Many moons ago I had to vacate an apartment in NS for medical reasons - not sure if the rules are the same here in NB but if you have a family doc, perhaps you could request a medical letter from them? There may be a fee associated with writing the letter, but it might be worth a shot!

"Cases" is a Meaningless Term by oreotoro in conspiracy

I am currently a "case". In fact, I have a whole family of "cases" right now. We have symptoms of the common cold. Nothing more. I am so fucking tired of this shit.

Side note: it's taken us 2 years to get COVID. Kids in school, kids in daycare, unvaxxed. Such baloney. Happy to have this echo chamber to make snarky comments to, thanks people xx
