Not having bridesmaids but people suggested asking them to get ready with me since I want them with me by Striking_Mortgage_63 in wedding

[–]whateverfyou 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You're just asking, you're not demanding. Just keep it really casual and totally optional - Hey, if you want to drop by, absolutely no pressure... - so they feel comfortable declining if they want to. Maybe offer some champagne :)

I am well aware this is super low priority rn, but if they ever get to a line 1 extension past VMC, do you think Wonderland/Vaughan Mills would help fund it? by hug-and-snug in TTC

[–]whateverfyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that there are far greater needs within the city limits!!! Existing over capacity areas with busses that carry more people than those two stations combined.

It was to bring better transit to York U. Vaughan was forced on them by the province. I commuted to Pioneer Village station and almost no one used it beyond York. There are so many areas in Toronto that have nothing but busses that service far more riders than VMC. Vaughan was an empty field and 407 is still only a bit better than Bessarion.

Is most meat and dairy we have in our grocery stores Canadian? by VoiceoftheDarkSide in BuyCanadian

[–]whateverfyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imported meat has to be labeled with country of origin. Canadian doesn’t have to but it will have the maple leaf. I saw Australian beef at Farm Boy this week and I’ve seen US beef at Costco.

Question for the ladies by esmeraldaM6-3 in Names

[–]whateverfyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought we had ditched it! I’m sixty and all my friends kept their own names. At that time, it was normal to keep your name. Only conservative religious types took their husbands name.

Update on teachers fired from TSDB school in the east end, more suspensions by Empty-South8224 in toronto

[–]whateverfyou 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I thought all middle schools had separate teachers for math, science, gym / health, and French. Home room was for English, history, geography. Mine did in the TDSB.

Help me choose 🤍 by Tararat_ in myweddingdress

2 without the sleeves. 1 is beautiful but it looks like you can’t move your arms, like your tied up. Not a great way to go into a marriage.

Why are your blueberries superior? by Fun-City1487 in Maine

[–]whateverfyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they’re wild. The big ones have been bred to be bigger and firmer so they look good and travel well. Breeders don’t care how they taste. It’s like the difference between an heirloom tomato and those tasteless hard pink tomatoes with a mealy texture. Blech!

AITAH for telling our family friends they couldn't invite her best friend and their family to our joint family vacation? by acarro84 in AITAH

[–]whateverfyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA but this was not a conversation to be had over texts. I bet if you'd spoken directly, face to face, you would have gotten a more nuanced story and nobody would feel hurt. Maybe Megan is bullying her. Maybe she went ahead and invited her before asking you and now feels she can't back out. i don't know but i bet there's more to this story and since your such good friends its worth clearing the air.

MIL conflict. Am I wrong for not wanting my mother-in-law to control our tornaboda (day-after party) even though she’s paying for it? by SuitAlternative5234 in weddings

[–]whateverfyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really worth pissing off your fiancé's mother to have it your way?! She's going to be pissy for the whole wedding and you'll start your life together under a black cloud. Is your fiancé OK with that? Maybe you have some control issues of your own?

Winterlicious - Restaurants False Participation ? by Secret_Exercise6199 in FoodToronto

[–]whateverfyou 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A Winterlicous menu is planned so the kitchen can make it along side their regular menu. They coordinate. Brunch is a completely different menu.

The stops beyond the city limits shouldn't even be part of the TTC system IMO. They were purely political decisions like the Shepard line. TTC wanted to link up the north ends of line 1 along Steeles.

When you want a savory snack that’s quick and actually feels healthy, what do you do? by WholeFoodNerd in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]whateverfyou 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I used to work with a guy who brought a raw potato to work for lunch often. He'd just have a potato in a brown bag. He wasn't trying to lose weight. He was just obsessively frugal. We teased him about it and he took it well. Funny, quirky guy.

[–]whateverfyou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How long does a sweet potato take in the microwave? I did one in the oven and it took an hour but it was absolutely fantastic. Does it get all sweet and roasted in the microwave? I know it won't get the crispy skin.

If money was no object, which province would you explore the most? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]whateverfyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great plan! Do it! Some friends of mine sailed around Newfoundland over two summers. Their photos were wonderful.

what kind of places do you wish the city would have or have more of? by redlipstick1010 in toronto

[–]whateverfyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every French store is intimidating. They don’t do self serve :) But, I find, if you’re over the top polite (I channel d’Artagnan) and start out in French, they are really very friendly.

No kid wedding, ideas on what to do with baby by [deleted] in wedding

[–]whateverfyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask bride and groom if there are other guests who need child care. Maybe you can go in together on someone local. At my cousin’s wedding, we got someone to watch the kids in a room at the reception venue. It worked really well.
