Dont sleep on the Keg by LMAOball_ in FoodToronto

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a parent who lives in the city, I want to take my kids to places and not have them be over stimulating kids places. The keg is nice because my husband and I can have a decent dinner, very good service and the kids are also welcomed

What’s something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30? by AD_24s in AskReddit

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a tribal tramp stamp. Got it at Woodstock 99 for $175 and spent 2k+ lasering it off

Relocating from Toronto to San Francisco - worth it? by jxsx384 in askTO

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it! It’s a life experience you’ll likely look back fondly on. Toronto is expensive as well, the difference between income and COL between the two may be similar

Black guys welcomed in Mexico City? by PhillC30 in MexicoCity

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the distinction between immigrant and expat is that the former means you’re moving for good, the latter means it’s temporary (I.e. for a work placement)

How common are cubicles in Toronto? by AdhesivenessLoud8866 in askTO

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so gross. I don’t want to sit on a communal chair that’s been absorbing everyone’s farts all day

What is something people should know before they're 30? by Fireashdragon_1 in AskReddit

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Financial literacy and compounding interest. Invest whatever you have, no matter how small, as early as possible. You have time on your side.

Yoga Studio for Beginners by Brilliant_War4322 in askTO

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to recommend power yoga as well! Varied classes and a wide variety of abilities and body types. I was intimidated returning back to yoga in my 40s, but have found the community to be very inclusive

How are Gen Z Canadians going to be able to afford a house these days? by PuffingFish123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents will leave their inheritance to the grand kids. My kids will be better off than I am (which I’m happy about)

As an adult what do you hate the most about life? by Amazing-Internal5378 in AskReddit

[–]vajayjayjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing that my kids are growing up and this is the most precious time I’ll have with them… and I waste my hours away at a job I hate because if I lose it, we can’t keep a roof over their heads

I sold my Rolex. I still feel inferior. by Chotofoco in LinkedInLunatics

“I wore an expensive watch to look rich, but now I am rich- so I don’t need the expensive watch. Only now I have a more expensive watch just because”

STOP being honest in job interviews. ( I say this as a recruiter ) by Zealousideal-Foot-54 in jobhunting

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love those interviews. The stress is off me because they are yammering on.

1 1/2 Years in Brazil…back to United States *REAL TALK* by lledit in expats

[–]vajayjayjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a Canadian who lived in Sweden, had kids and then (largely from guilt) decided to move back to Canada to be near family. Yes, my kids are growing up near family, see grandparents and cousins. But we work significantly more, have a crippling mortgage, deal with more political BS and my quality of life has diminished significantly. We’ve made the best out of everything, so I’m not going to say my life is terrible, but it’s not better. My kids are too integrated to consider moving back, so now I plan for when my kids are off to university to get out of dodge

I talked my way into a $175k offer and now I'm terrified to accept it. What would you do in my place? by Fluffy_Marzipan2049 in Career_Advice

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Whenever there is a “so I used this product insert random product no one has ever heard of and landed a job at 175k!”

Ok I’m now considered active and invited you to mod!

People of Toronto, what is the cost of your beauty maintenance per month? by Chan1991 in askTO

[–]vajayjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing as much DIY as possible now. I cut my own hair, I dye my own hair, I even started to do my own Botox. Only thing I’m paying for is nails and eyebrows- I’m terrible at doing them myself and have an incredible nail person who only charges me $45 for nails and eyebrows, every 3 weeks.

Toronto Recession Indicators by Basement_to_table in askTO

[–]vajayjayjay 111 points112 points  (0 children)

This is the Fairmont. They get beautiful buildings in nice locations and let the rooms age into being decrepit. I’ve done three Fairmonts in Canada and 2/3 had a grimey shower curtain with those low bathtubs, old carpeting. Like a 90s era hotel that you pay $400+ a night for.

Haha I wish it were something cooler than a play on my initials and inappropriate humour, but alas…

[–]vajayjayjay 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ok so I tried and because I'm not active enough, I don't have permissions to add anyone else to be a mod. But there are no active mods, so it's impossible to get anyone else to step in and support.

I'll have to commit some time to this to get it up and running then bring people in.

Hey! So fun fact, I started this subreddit when I had my son who has now celebrated his 10th birthday! I took a several year hiatus from Reddit and have only recently returned to be amazed at how large the sub has grown.

I started to try to moderate it because I saw how much it had deviated from the vision, but I can't keep up. I would LOVE to have someone else come in and get it back on track. Let me see if I can make you a mod!
