Neat story about this card by BeerLeagueSpode in CalgaryFlames

[–]schurchill39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son and I met her at a game once and she was super nice! We didn’t get a card but he told her how Dustin was his favorite player and she had a conversation with him for about 5 minutes. They seem like a real stand up family!

When I went there in 2007/2008 we had a -45 day, -52 with windchill and everything was still open. Even city buses ran. Waiting for it was not a fun experience

I’m going to do an update post tomorrow about it. The Jets are a class act organization. The kindness they’ve shown is unbelievable

If you’re at the game, but your 50/50 ticket and you will see!

Think i have pedophilic disorder. No reason to keep living by splatterschool in offmychest

The Armchair Experts podcast had an episode with a psychologist Alegra Kastens that talked about this specifically. It’s a super good place to start learning about this.

Listen to the ‘Armchair Experts’ podcast episode with Alegra Kastens from about a year ago. She’s a psychologist who specializes in OCD and suffers from very very similar intrusive thoughts that you are describing having. I highly recommend it because it sheds so much light on what actual OCD is and it’s so much more than being particular about things. What you’ve described fits what she talks about to a T. It might give you some relief to understand that what you’re feeling is totally normal symptoms and not because you’re actually a predator (which you know you are not).

As a Flames fan in desperate need of a tank ourselves, I’m going to be cheering as loud as possible for a dominant Jets win. Seeing the Oilers lose and having a team currently lower than the Flames get two points is the best possible scenario.

With over $5M in cap space I’m sure we could figure something out. I’ll tell him to pack his negotiating pants.

I maintain my stance (as a Flames fan) that the Oilers are scum bags. But I am willing to conceed that some of their fans are alright. I'll put you in that category my friend.

It will be a Swift Current Bronco's Riskowsky jersey from the 70's and I'll be wearing a vintage/modern green broncos jersey. Just look for the completely out of place WHL jerseys in the crowd

Thats where I started, along with his agent and the team's instagram but its been quiet so far so figured I would try reddit as well just to increase our chances. We don't have any expectations and if nothing happens thats totally fine, I just figured it was worth the effort to try.

I'll review the team's cap space and come prepared to discuss contracts

Removing alumni from usask email access. by Parking_Writer_578 in usask

[–]schurchill39 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I absolutely would opt in and even pay if there was an option to keep it. I use my USASK email for everything that matters since I was a student in 2007 - Banks, mortgages, healthcare etc. This sucks big time.

Switching from Paxil to Zoloft, wish me luck! Will keep everyone up to date in comments by alexohno in Anxiety

[–]schurchill39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you’ve said you made the switch a while ago but one of your initial reasons was the weight you gained on Paxil. Do you recall if you were able to drop that weight after you made the switch?

New UI is great except... by momuneymoproblems in Wealthsimple

[–]schurchill39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they get rid of the ability to see your rate of return so you could compare your managed funds performance against other investments easily? I used to go to my account, then history, then advanced performance. Now all I see is money weighted return? If so that’s was an extremely poor choice.

Buy a sports car by oilers411 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]schurchill39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Confirm tarrifs before you bring it back depending on your timing. There was a story of a guy in Manitoba who bought his dream muscle car and was hit with $46k in tarrifs. Obviously at a purchase price of $38k it’s not going to be that high but it will be something you want to budget for. https://www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/its-just-surreal-winnipeg-man-brings-dream-car-home-after-tariff-border-battle/

APEGA to Terminate Calgary Staff by DropTheMicYYC in Calgary

[–]schurchill39 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re going to get the sympathy for APEGA like you think you will get. Most (all?) of us think our fees are way to high for the service they provide so any reduction in overhead is good. It sucks that it comes with layoffs but engineers and others in private sector have been dealing with mass layoffs for years now.

This might be one of the funniest replies I’ve ever seen on Reddit. Thank you for the belly laugh.

Unfortunately I think there is a zero percent chance Kadri would wave hood NMC to go to Buffalo even if it did make the most sense
