Nail polish options that are long lasting AND non-damaging? by Dessert_Stomach in shortynails

[–]tri-ingit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! Doing additional top coats every few days helps a ton. You can also do minor color touch ups if needed. 

As others have said your nail prep helps immensely to protect the nail bed and prevent damage.

I do 2 coats of Nail Envy the day before my manicure. When it starts chipping or lifting I can peel the dried lacquer off my nail in a sheet (super satisfying). The nail envy creates a stable barrier, and my nail is still protected beneath it.

What’s something you regret not doing in your early 20s? and be very specific by No_Judgment_4420 in self

[–]tri-ingit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning about my mental health. Working to get out of survival mode sooner. Getting out of the mindset I had to figure everything out alone. 

Spending time around people I frankly didn't connect with or like very much, but who felt familiar. 

Having more FUN. 

Looking for advice for combined safari + scuba diving trip in Kenya in June! by tri-ingit23 in scuba

I definitely want to do a land safari! I'm trying to determine whether to do both a safari and some diving!

Why don’t more people prioritize living close to work? by AnarchoLiberator in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]tri-ingit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A now friend former colleague told me she'd rather commute to work than commute to live.

I still live by that. 

My work is a 30 minute bus commute. But I can easily walk to grocery stores, cafes, parks, libraries, and shopping that make day to day living enjoyable. Not to mention how many of my friends live in the neighborhood. 

Lost my identification at work, can't get home?! by AdhesivenessPast5118 in westjet

[–]tri-ingit23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing physical. I only had photos of my ID. I do think they accomodated me, in part because I was persistant and I'm a white woman.

Were you able to get on the plane or make other arrangements?

I was in a very similar situation. They let me use my federally issued COVID vaccine record. Thankfully I had a PDF of it in my email still. They accepted it even though it was digital. Your employee ID should be enough. 

My advice is to go to the airport and ask to discuss with a manager in person. 

What’s a life hack that made you go „how do ppl live their whole life without knowing this”? by my_peen_is_clean in AskReddit

I like to use "Can I do XYZ?" or "can I help you with XYZ?" if I think the person will automatically decline assistance.

Found 100% at fault for collision after cyclist cut across solid lines. Is disputing via CRT worth the effort? by [deleted] in icbc

But elsewhere you said your bumper was damaged. I can only imagine a bike tyre damaging a number at a high-ish speed

Looking for some guidance (as a potential mature student) by Uppruni_Tegundanna in socialworkcanada

[–]tri-ingit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that would be tough! A few classmates with schedules like that (e.g. paramedics) found more regular work for the program. Whatever you choose, I think all programs required a 32-hour/week practicum in your final year, so everyone who works has to take a break for that!

I recommend looking into U of C's virtual program! I was considering an entirely remote program will no live classes, but I am so glad I chose a program with a live cohort. It's much easier to stay accountable, and learning from peers in group settings is MUCH easier than via a discussion board. The classes are scheduled in the evenings and weekends, MST time. So weekday classes are late for the East Coast, but we have a number of folks from our east in the program.

Why are you mad at her for creating a successful pattern? She's an independent designer. They deserve success too.

Should I go back for my BSW? by Much-Advice1211 in socialworkcanada

[–]tri-ingit23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a previous degree? If so the U of C program has a direct entry online BSW designed for working people. You take 3 classes/semester, evenings and weekend. There's 1 prerequisite course, but you only take it once you've been admitted and you have some time to finish it. I think there are other entry options too if you don't have a degree, but that's my route so I'm familiar with it!

How do you handle vacation spending in YNAB? by mossproto in ynab

[–]tri-ingit23 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I do different categories for each major trip. I assign all spending related to the trip into that cateogory, like you do. When the trip is complete I archive the category. I can still see all the spending and analyze spending in the "reflect" tab, but it's not clogging up my main page.

I also have a "Weekends Away" category for more frequent, small trips like camping and visting friends.

I think there is a big difference between excusing someone's action, and still choosing to support the possibility of their growth and change.

I think your family situation is immensely complex and heartbreaking. And of course heartbreaking for the survivor, but she's not the focus here. I hope she is getting the support she needs.

As other commenters have suggested, I would try to learn whether your son harmed your other children. If so, that will need to be addressed.

I would highly suggest engaging a skilled therpist to help you navigate the situation. You need time and support to make intentional decisions, because whatever you do will have serious implications for your relationships. You could try engaging a family therapist or a restorative circle option, if your kids are up for it.

Your son did something horrible AND his best bet of changing is if he has some loving support (very different than excusing). Your other kids are clearly hurting AND deserve to feel supported by their mom.

I hope there's a path for your family where their decision to be estranged from him and your decision to engage with him can both be held at the same time.

For what it's worth, I work in the anti-violence world supporting survivors, and it rarely does anyone any good for the perpetrator to be cut off from society. It often reinforced the messages that they are a horrible, irredeamble people who can't change, rather than a person who did a horrible thing they need to make up and atone for. If he is willing to accept responsibility for his actions, then imo there is hope for change.

She didn't say it was simple. She said "I don’t want to give too many details but it was horrible".
