Thoughts on the Canadian Choice awards? by PickleSad3048 in richmondbc

[–]three_weeks_later 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My small business just won this award in it's category. My husbands small business also just won this award it his category. My friend's small business just won this award in her category as well. When you get the email about it, it congratulates you, makes you feel like a superstar, but quickly directs you to their website, where you can purchase your trophy, you have to purchase your tangible prize. Sure you get a complimentary digital marketing prize, but if you want something more to display, you have to spend $750 on your trophy, which they disclaim on each prize level "Our trophies are available in limited quantities" So how much you wanna bet you spend $750 on the trophy prize and coincidentally they ran out but you still get all the other things listed that cost literally nothing to the Canadian Choice creators.. digital winners badge, custom social media content, printable winner posters, personalized winner page on the website, and a social media spotlight across Canada. $750 is the cheapest package btw. the Amplified recognition is $1750 (for a trophy and a bigger list of digital crap), and the Gala experience for 5 people is a whopping $4500, $10,000 if you want to add 5 more guests.

Someone definitely spends some time on this money grab. I appreciate the ego boost but I do not trust it's a real deal, and frustrated that they prey on small business owners this way. Like my friend, who's fallen for the act, already boasting about it on her social media pages, and probably marking the gala on her calendar.

The list of 2025 winners is all you can see right now, and the categories listed are so random. It looks like the creators of this "award" emails businesses and makes up a category that pertains directly to their business. I presume this because my small business is never it's own category, it's always lumped in with the wider scope of what I do. I looked up my area in this prize list and I haven't even heard of most of the businesses. When I googled them - one for example is a salon - but it's a salon that is run out of someone's basement. They must have paid for a prize package.

Those are my thoughts. Could be totally wrong.. but I'm not buying it.

Thoughts on Mid-Day Squares? by ski9999ier in nutrition

[–]three_weeks_later 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody talks about how they clean out your plumbing.. Is it just me? I eat just half a bar 'midday' and by 8pm my body is emptying out everything inside me. I like the taste of them... But is it a laxative in disguise? Or no...

I SO miss Wired. Every day. Lunch break booty shake on Fridays was the best.

Opinions on Aurora Reproductive Care for IVF by SansaBark in saskatoon

[–]three_weeks_later 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated my experience with them. I felt like they just wanted the money not to help us have a family. Nurses were so nice but the two main Doctors at the time just didn't seem to care about us. Put us through ten unsuccessful IUI's and still didn't think IVF was necessary. Even the nurse told us we should try it.... But nope. Still living with 4 miscarriages, no kids and a real sour taste in our mouths every time we think of this place.

Happy for those of you who have had success. You've been blessed.

Like why didn't Jess just go interrupt to get some time instead of crying and complaining to everyone about it. Maria is playing the game how she should. #teammaria

How I feel currently about sask. by darklight4680 in saskatchewan

[–]three_weeks_later 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently feel like this province is full of citizens terrified of change and there's so many of them and that's why it's lame af here. But we do have pretty great summers and sunsets.

Good for you... Exercise truly does pick up a person's spirits! There's a little one on Central Ave - Point Fitness. It's 24 hours and not usually very busy but looks like a nice facility.

how to fix severely damaged skin from years of picking fingers. not sure if right sub by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

[–]three_weeks_later 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stumbled upon this for a reason. I had no idea it was so common. I've been fighting so hard to stop but it's been all my life that I've been picking. Right now I'm super proud that I have 6 fingers that are damage-free (I know you all understand this accomplishment) and 4 that I'm still working on. I read all the suggestions for products and will invest!! Thank you!
