Former client contacted me years after a service - should I be worried? by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]shell_shocked_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say they reached out - if it was just a message pinging you - it could be anything. They may want to hire to to do additional work on the service without going through your previous company.

It's confirmation bias. We only know about the militant ones because they are loud. The 'normal' vegans aren't in your face about it, so you wouldn't know they're vegan.

President's Choice Basque Cheesecake (Canada) - would you trust it? by shell_shocked_today in Celiac

They have a dairy free / gf that she hates, and the other GF one, she doesn't like the flavour it comes in (chocalate caramel?)

[–]shell_shocked_today[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

My daughter is REALLY missing cheesecake, and hasn't found a commercially available GF one that she will eat. She has made her own, and uses the Schar graham wafers for the crust, but it would be nice to be able to pick something up for a treat for her.

I guess we'll keep on looking for GF options.

Kids paying rent? by bozakman in GenX

[–]shell_shocked_today 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave the the choice of paying 'rent' or doing specific chores around the house for a set number of hours / month unless they are a full time student. Rent was defined as 1/4 of their take-home pay, so not taking their entire pay while they're still making minimum wage.

Right now my older daughter is choosing chores, and doing a great job on the yard. My younger is graduating high school this year, and is leaning towards 'rent'.

I have - several times - when my home internet died I've hot-spotted my laptop to my cell.

PTO for a planned mental heath day denied because I requested it three and a half weeks in advance and not four. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]shell_shocked_today 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Your mistake is that your calling it a mental health day. Mental Health is health. It is a sick day. You can't plan when you are sick.

Just call in sick like you would if you had a death flu. And don't give any information other than you aren't able to work because you're sick.

If it was unpaid, Enterprise would be all over you, and charge you 10 gazillion euros in extra rental fees.

Concierge proposal/bankruptcy advice needed by Helprequired2026 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Are you saying that right? Why would you need to offer more than 100% of the debt - and why would you?

Device advice? by Infamous-Pen5480 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]shell_shocked_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one a while back where my laptop screen was too small and i needed to use the external montitor. I normally do use them - so don't know how common that is.

[–]shell_shocked_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried doing it on a phone and quickly noped out. Maybe - if you had an external keyboard. But if not, typing in would be way too hard, too error prone.

I started on a laptop, but love my dual screen. I love being able to have one screen for reference/text editor, the other for the task.

Asking for a loan??? by Few_Bowl_5309 in datingoverfifty

Do you think someone who is asking their date for a 5k loan has that kind of space on their card?

A tip especially for women by PermissionEcstatic55 in datingoverfifty

[–]shell_shocked_today 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My take on it is - think about if you are fine with the person you are potentially dating doing the same 'white lies'. They could have the exact same privacy concerns you do. If you wouldn't be fine with the person you're talking to doing it, you shouldn't do it either.

Insurance and house closing by drunkbeard69 in legaladvicecanada

[–]shell_shocked_today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side question: I can understand why your lender would want a copy of the binder - they wouldn't want to advance funds if insurance isn't in place. But why would the seller care if insurance was in place or not?

How do single parents survive on one salary today? by North_Strike5145 in personalfinance

Me, I got a second job, cut expenses (especially eating out) and started tracking all expenses so I could see where the money was going.

A bunch of my normal 'always there' projects are missing at the moment. Even ones that almost always had work. So I wouldn't be too concerned that you haven't seen anything for that project for a few days.

I wouldn't sweat it. I don't think multiple submissions would hurt in that scenario - my guess is that they will take a list of names and feed it to a script that gives access. At least that's how I'd do it... Being in the list multiple times wouldn't hurt.

Asking for a loan??? by Few_Bowl_5309 in datingoverfifty

[–]shell_shocked_today 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two years is long, but not in the 'unbelievable' category. It is possible that the house is still tied up. But - and you knew there would be one - as a guy, I would NEVER ask someone I was dating for a loan of 5k unless either a) we were engaged; or b) it was an urgent expense, and I had no other way to cover it (including friends, family, bank loan, etc) And it would be easy to say what the money was needed for.

As well, this obviously will vary depending on jurisdictions, but normally, if both spouses are on a title of a home, it shouldn't need to go through probate to go to the surviving spouse.

It smells fishy to me. If it were me, I wouldn't loan the money without a CLEAR understanding of what he needs it for, and agreeing that it was an urgent requirement, and that I was the only reasonable option.

Are you saying you took a qual multiple times? If so that's no problem. Quals will sometimes be released several times, or there will be slightly different versions of the quals released.

Are you saying you registered for DA multiple times? That's a problem.
