From cake mix all the way to advil liquigels, then are almost always packaged by the same manufacturer. Why pay some other manufacturer to set up their production lines to make a generic version of something when the original company will do it for you and has their production line already set up to do everything except stamp their name on it.

I don't need the passwords while I'm out and if it is really important it will will have to wait, if it is really really important then I will go home and get it, but in reality it is almost always never really that important.

We sold a townhouse in the lower mainland and bought a house on an acre+ in middle BC with some money left over.

Vancouver is ridiculous.

To your first point, I do this with the Costco gravy, add one salt and two pepper packets into the gravy makes it way better.

To your second point, many times the no name brand or store brand is actually packed by the same company with the same product but you aren't paying for the brand name marketing so it is cheaper.

Vancouver BC is home of the broken wealth meter. There was a flash game where you guessed which house was listed over a million dollars.

Use a pen and paper, no one breaks into your house for your password.

I don't even write the whole thing down, just enough that I know what the rest is, the missing part is context to me.

Axes, I have four and I will get another next year.

I have a hatchet for small tasks, a midsized axe for cutting small trees down and chopping, a Pulaski for landscaping/ digging tasks and I have a splitting axe/maul for splitting rounds.

There is something incredibly rewarding and fun about swinging an axe.

But don't worry, there's false equivalence because in one day Hamas killed a few hundred children so the tens of thousands now are totally justified and will be until none are left. /S

The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy's enemy, nothing more nothing less.

Another enemy might serve as a temporary distraction but not much is going to stop Israel (the govt and country) from trying to continue what they started before the 1900s, the mass expulsion or eradication of the native population of a country they had no right to. They might have tried to slowly immigrate there over generations but that would not satisfy the Zionists that wanted to take minority ethnic control of a majority Muslim land.

Garage and estate sales might be a source on old corded power tools.

It was meant to be "working up in Whistler" but I didn't check my voice typing.

EI is what you get when you get laid off in BC. I don't know if they still call it that anymore.

I was working up in Whistler back in my twenties, at the end of the season, they lay everybody off except for a small crew of full-time employees. I went on to EI(employment insurance) for the summer pretended to look for jobs, and went on road trips with friends. Once summer finished, I found another job and I have unfortunately been employed ever since in various Warehouse jobs from order picker to warehouse manager.

A few years back my sister passed away, I'm now the only child my parents have left. They live a few hours away and have for as long as I have been with my partner (7 years).

My parents are planning on moving to the place we now live to be closer to me. This has my partner worried that they will be over often or I will be over at their house more often. Her parents are very far away so can only visit once a year.

My parents are not the kind of people to show up uninvited to anyone's house. They likely will come over once a month for dinner and I will probably go over by myself once a week.

We are both pretty private people so not having anyone over is just how we are and this potential change of more visits has her concerned that our privacy will be gone.

I am also fine with them not coming over often, I like it being just me and her but I do want my parents close when they have medical emergencies.

How do I approach this as currently she is a bit annoyed but taking a more "see how this pans out" attitude?

I don't exactly want to jump the gun and talk to my parents ahead of time to make sure they don't come over often because I don't think they will and it might sour their relationship to her if they think she doesn't want them over ever, even if I also don't want them over often.
