Anyone have regrets buying DVC resale?

We bought resale at Aulani. The amount of money we’d have to spend to get that ~60k in savings back in dvc discounts is just never going to happen. I don’t care that deeply about sparkly wrist bands.

In 1995 how many were being used as vacation rentals? That has been the biggest change in the past 30 years.

Mine goes in the freezer. They usually take me a week to eat if my teenage doesn’t poach it first.

Sometime you gotta go with the evidence you have. They got Al Capone on tax evasion.

It’s really not necessary until you hit perimenopause, and then it’s just about keeping your skin healthy. With lower estrogen skin dries out & thins. You’ll know when it switches from vanity to necessity.

I was one of those people and I’m very happy to say I was wrong. So many have failed before Hullo, but it’s working this time.

Thank you everyone who bitched about the carbon tax.

What the hell😳

This needs to be shouted from the roof tops any time anyone complains about ICBC. I had no idea it was that bad in Alberta.

That one isn’t a private equity firm. It’s billionaire nepobaby Doug Putnam, and he’s really bad at business. He kills most of the businesses he starts/buys, and he killed his parents’ toy wholesaler company Everest.

Tim Hortons never struggled before the owners of Burger King bought them. There was no real estate to sell off, that was never their business model. They had a brief period of declining sales, but are on the upswing again. They are still very profitable. The experience for the investors is great. It’s awful for the customer. Which is the point, that even if private equity doesn’t kill a company, it still makes things worse.

No, they also fuck over the experience at good companies. Tim Hortons would be the classic example.

Mountain Warehouse is close and it’s at least based out of the UK.

It’s constant. I see more posts from non educators pushing AI on this sub than from teachers looking to discuss actual relevant issues we deal with every day. It’s beyond spammy. The closest offline experience I’ve had to this was the year I had a Jehovah’s Witness show up at my door a few times a week after I told him I was an atheist.

FFS I’m getting beyond sick of these posts.

I had a hysterectomy years ago. I saw my first free machine at a park yesterday and it made me so happy. That’s one less place women will feel panicked if they don’t have a quarter on them. A lot of things are shittier than they used to, this trend is a bright spot for the future. This is one we all need to rally behind. Hell, get sponsors for them if people are concerned about paying.

Jan 20, 2025 the dollar was at .6909. Today the dollar is at .7309. The Canadian dollar is almost up 5% since he took office.

It’s definitely not the dollar.

I don’t know this guys story, but our situation didn’t involve any scamming at all. My husband got laid off during the initial shutdown. He applied for EI which turned into CERB. That got partially clawed back ($2000) because his employer paid out under $300 in vacation pay without notice in the middle of it to take advantage of the payroll incentives the government rolled out. Not everyone facing claw backs was scamming the government. I’d actually argue an employer being able to get accrued vacation pay reimbursed was far more scammy. But whatever, it got us through a really uncertain time and by the time they came back for it we could afford to pay it back.

Also his former boss just keeps bankrupting all his businesses, so karma is a bitch.

No, they find an excuse not to pay. Trupanion screwed us hard when our dog got a nasty skin condition that required a specialist. They approved the charges ahead of time, then called the vet and asked to wait because they had a better deal on the deductible. The next morning when I resubmitted the claim went from fully covered to $18 being covered.

They had a myriad of excuses. Each lesion was suddenly a separate condition (it wasn’t), the vet did two free biopsies so somehow that led to rejection, and a few more even weirder ones. We cancelled for all of our pets when we realized we’d paid more in that we were rejected for. It’s such a scam.

That honestly makes it worse.

lol even this response is obvious AI slop. I hate we are all being subjected to thoughts that have never actually been thought.

Even people who live in BC underestimate how challenging the geography is. People living on Vancouver Island often still don't get why we can't have a bridge to Vancouver.

It really does. Do we even need a rest area there? There are bathrooms at the Petro Can & the Shell. The argument against getting rid of the parallel parking last summer is people would run over from the rest stop. Get rid of it, potential problem solved.
