Eating with your tiny, almost human, hands and shoving it into your pointy little mouth may be part of the issue. Assuming your avatar is a photo of you.

I love how IKEA can post on Facebook promoting their free coffee for their rewards program members, and 90% of the FB people will find a reason to bitch, moan, or say something stupid.


"IKEA's too far away!"


"You should offer espresso instead"


"You stopped selling the fish we like in the cafeteria"


"Every town with more than 80,000 should have an IKEA"

I imagine it's the same people who make stupid changes to recipes then complain the recipe wasn't any good.


'Followed the recipe exactly, I only substituted butter for cottage cheese, heavy cream with coconut water, and added 1 tbsp of salt instead of 1 tsp. Anyway, despite following the recipe exactly it tasted terrible. 1 Star'

I had my last talk with my Mom ten years ago today. She would pass early in the morning on the 18th. If you’re still lucky enough to have your mom, do me and yourself a favour, and call her today. Tell her you love her and you’re grateful she’s your Mom.

I wish I could say that with time my grief has softened or become easier to manage. I just "forget" for a while about the whole ordeal, and then when I see my kids do something cute or something important happens in life, I still reach for my phone to call her. But I also wouldn't want to trade away the hurt either. It's all I have left of her that feels tangible and real.

It feels good to talk about my Mom when she was healthy and happy. So maybe I'll take a moment now to do that. Everyone at her work loved her and looked at her as their work Mom. So many residents from Foothills came to her services, and I got to hear about a side of my Mom I didn't know about. After she beat the cancer the first time, she volunteered the rest of her healthy days for Cancer Connect, which places newly diagnosed cancer patients with survivors to help deal with it. And she was a great Mom who loved musicals and took me to Rainbow Stage in Winnipeg and Jets games, even though she thought hockey was boring. She deserved to live a long and happy life into her golden years and enjoy her grandchildren. I miss you, Mom. I wish things had worked out better.

Is there any way to contact Uber for customer service? Getting to the end of my rope with them. We have this old emergency Credit Card we have for emergencies. We have started getting mystery Uber Eats charges. Someone has gotten it and put it on their account and this is not the first time this has happened either. All of a sudden we would get charges from random indian restaurants in Northeast Calgary. I go to that quadrant once every four years for whatever reason.

Ya, credit cards have gotten more cumbersome to do that it seems.

Log into the credit card account and put a block on it until you get it sorted out.

If your card is compromised, call the bank and get the number cancelled and replaced. It won't stop happening.

We should just get rid of it.

"Smolnikar, Tit" sounds like some sort of bird.

I've seen a lot of Tits in my day, but never a Smolnikar.

Mm hmm. You might have to replace it more than once too due to tokenization.

Better to cancel it completely if the credit card is basically unnecessary.

This. When my card was compromised it took 3 replacement cards with me specifically asking CIBC for the card to be removed from authorized services before someone finally helped remove the tokenization. Some of the disputed charges took 6 months to get cleared.

Even with RTO being more common recently I have to think there’s been a big drop in the last 10 years.

Amazingly they're all still around. The people that required dress codes came back pretty well the instant restrictions were lifted.
