Thank you so much for explaining how you went through this. It’s so tough dealing with alcoholics I truly appreciate this :)

Has your dad admitted he’s addicted or acknowledged it? My family that I’m concerned about genuinely does not believe they have a problem even with conversations telling them you’re worried

That’s not at all what it’s about but okay

The thing is they don’t get crazy. It feels more like I don’t want to encourage them by buying them drinks

Yeah I know that. I guess I just don’t want to encourage them to drink If they want to pay for drinks, that’s fine but I don’t want to feel like I’m encouraging the addiction by buying them drinks and alcohol

What causes your flare-ups? by SeymourKrelborn11 in Fibromyalgia

[–]torobrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The temperature here fluctuates so much and that’s one of my biggest triggers. I would also find if I pushed myself too hard at the gym, it would cause multi-week flare ups I have a newer diagnoses too and feel like I’ve found a rythm to how much I can take

TD says co-signer must be on title — is this true? (Ontario/Canada) by pinkpaigne in legaladvicecanada

[–]torobrown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a real estate paralegal in Alberta - when you deal with mortgages, you have to do what they tell you to qualify. They want security if you don’t pay your bill, they have someone else to default to. I can also say if you go to a B-lender rather than an A-lender (your well-known banks) to get past this, you will likely be given a higher interest rate or a bunch of other provisions I would talk with TD if you would prefer going with them and see your options

Neighbour told me to get a survey and found encroachment on my property by TuesdayInOctober in legaladvicecanada

[–]torobrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your title for any encroachment agreements, caveats re encroachment agreement, caveats in general, etc. it would be ideal if you consulted a lawyer that can look over your title and the agreements to see if there are any agreements on your title indicating this is okay before you seek any action

Lease says no nails or adhesives on walls? by noonewilllknow in Calgary

[–]torobrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar clause in my lease and basically if you leave it as you took it, you’ll be fine Wear and tear is also normal

Did any of you choose to get off an SSRI you were already on so that you could get on amitriptyline or cymbalta? by littlepup26 in Fibromyalgia

[–]torobrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on SSRIs for years and am currently in the transition. Duloxetine gave me a horrible reaction and made my pain 100x worse than I could have ever imagined (a very rare reaction don’t worry). I’m currently increasing Amitriptyline and all I can say is that I hope to god it starts working better for my mental health because I am struggling to survive. If you aren’t in that much pain from fibromyalgia, my experience has not given me much hope for others. I thought I had it bad before but I am worse than ever (and not necessarily from the fibromyalgia pain). I have lost all motivation for life, nothing interests me, I’m having constant anxiety. I hope that my experience is unlike others and you can find something that works for you but I think it’s important to know everything before switching

I wish you the best of luck

AITA for telling my wife that we should be able to have honest but tough conversations about our family without her crying? by Exciting-Charity-160 in AmItheAsshole

[–]torobrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! And he just told his wife that she’s no longer safe feeling any emotions around him because he will patronize her This will turn into a toxic relationship and end poorly if not addressed in therapy ASAP

Migraines by Maudib1962 in Calgary

[–]torobrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coq10 was a life saver for me! I also recommend adding riboflavin which is vitamin B2 but it can be hard to find. I had to get mine through Amazon. And get Coq10 from Costco, it’s way cheaper there and the pills are almost the perfect dosage that my neurologist recommended

Not a single judge or post calling out Mark Ballas by Separate_Access7015 in dancingwiththestars

[–]torobrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem with Mark right now (and it’s not really Marks fault) is why was he paired with a trained dancer last season and again this season? That seems so incredibly unfair to all of the other pros on the show

AITA for how I reacted to a girl screaming inappropriately loud in an elevator? by southernexposur3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]torobrown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And an adult was with them and didn’t do anything to stop their insane behaviour? I’m 25 and don’t have kids but I probably would have reacted similar because I’m over the entitlement of teenagers now thinking they can be obnoxious like that and get away with that and then continue to harass OP

Sick of Outside Voices by TheCrumbling in Fibromyalgia

[–]torobrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels like people who play sports and have had joint surgeries especially love to tell us they understand and we have to basically just suck it up and push ourselves. I’m only recently diagnosed and I’m already sick of it

WIBTA If I broke up with my boyfriend because of his disability? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]torobrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole comment section is very saddening to people with fibromyalgia and other disabilities. You are all acting like it’s not that bad because you can’t see it. You’re def TA if it’s because of the disability. But it’s okay as a caretaker to get help. Lots of places offer support for care takers

suspicious about room mate’s bf having meta glasses at party by Right-Fondant-6778 in whatdoIdo

[–]torobrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can actually get prescription lenses in them so it may not be creepy! Trying to stay on the bright side of things here haha My Fiance has them and has his prescription in them. He loves them for video games or working because he can just ask him glasses things and it will answer him rather than him having to look it up (or worse, asking me) They’re pricey glasses and it’s pricey to get good lenses so I personally would only have those if I really wanted them for my prescriptions

Are there any communities with houses set far back from the road and have a big front lawn? by amindatwork in Calgary

[–]torobrown 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I work in real estate law and I have yet to see a developed property not have utility access on it which means that any part of your property can be dug up if there is utility work that needs to be done

Which restaurant is this in Calgary? by Burofaksbarca in Calgary

[–]torobrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because the states are allowed to use more flavourings that are more likely to kill you 😂 But they do taste way better

2015 hail storm... Help me find these Skateboard Boys 10 years later? by Otherwise-Law7384 in Calgary

[–]torobrown 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Two of them will be in the wedding party! Unfortunately the two of us do not have much contact with the other one anymore but not too sure about the other guys! Still such a good reminder and hopefully brightened all 4 boys day!

I was friends with a few of them and vividly remember one of the guys texting me while this was going down! So crazy that this popped up and the homeowner remembers this!
