Toddler is turning 3 soon and I’d like to get her a new bed frame. She currently sleeps on a double mattress on the floor of our bedroom.

Should I go with a more expensive grown up one that will grow with her? Or should I buy a cheaper one and update as she grows?

Im a big proponent of “buy nice or buy twice”. And keeping things out of the landfill/ not falling for overconsumption. But I’m scared to make such a long term commitment! And worried she will damage it since shes only a toddler.

if any of you are employees can you let me know why Scotiabank can't seem to fix those own mistake?

A couple of years ago I got married and had my last name updated. Whomever processed that, messed up and wrote MIRS as a FIRST Name on my account. I assume they meant to write Mrs. But they A) wrote it wrong and B )added it into the wrong spot. So now I have a MIRS alias and I can't seem to get rid of it!

I've called multiple times over the years. I've stopped into a branch in person, I've even used the chat function. Nobody can pin point the problem for some reason.

They keep telling me they've fixed it but my credit cards still come with the wrong name printed on them and my statements even in the app show this mistake.

20+ year clean driving record. Never had a speeding ticket or a claim of any kind and yet ins keeps going up and up. Driving a paid off 2017 Elantra, park in a private garage. Ins just went up $10/m to $140/m or $1700 a year. Need to find a need ins company.

Ive never been a fan of gift registries. Something about having a list ready to go of things you want from your guests has just always felt icky to me.

But it seems to be the norm for birthday parties where I am.

Is there an alternative that you as a guest would feel comfortable with? Do fiver and tenner parties still exist? Would you do it for a toddler? Or asking for experience gifts be acceptable? Like admission to the zoo or something similar. Ideally I’d like everyone to pitch in for 1 large present but that seems to be an unpopular idea for some reason

How would you go about communicating something like this? Right now everyone seems to just send a link to a registry when you ask what little Timmy and Sally want for their birthdays

There are some sections that are a great deal and some that are cheap Temu crap or just a bad deal buy volume compared to a regular grocery store.

What are you go to sections to check out for real good deals?

I know for a fact that all the PepsiCo products (drinks and chips) are both cheaper and fresher than a traditional grocery store. I used to work for Pepsi and sold to Dollarama.

The kitchen section, The kids book section, and the kids toy section have been great for high quality name brand items. And I’ve recently discovered the shampoo/body wash section with high quality products as well.

At the same time, there is lots of cheap Temu stuff that i can get even cheaper directly from Temu. Or basically anything in the cleaning section is cheaper by volume elsewhere.

So what other sections are generally good to look for hidden gems?

I’m completely dumbfounded. I’ve had many cats in my life and I’ve never encountered this problem.

This a relatively new issue, As of only a few weeks ago.

My cat is 5 years old and has had access to the outside for 3+ years. She has a litter box inside that she uses regularly. In the winter exclusively, in the summer she used it for poop.

At the beginning of the summer we had a patch of grass in our backyard that we decided to rip out and reseed becuase it was dying from the heat and we couldn’t keep it alive. At some point my cat saw a fresh pile of dirt and decided it was a good toilet. I let her do it since nothing grew there anyway. …. Except I guess she got a taste of pooping the fresh air and decided to expand her toilet from the small patch of dead grass to the whole yard. It’s killing the grass, and it’s obviously disgusting.

How do I stop this?!

I have some enzyme cleaner I sprayed in the spots shes been going but I can’t spray my whole yard. It’s also been raining every day for weeks so it would all wash away anyway.

Hopefully this is the correct place to ask. Asking for my family member.

Family member was moving into a townhouse rental unit. They rented a Uhaul truck. While driving the truck, they damaged the neighbouring balcony.

Uhaul had collision but not comprehensive ins. So the uhaul damage is covered, but the balcony is not.

Nobody knows what the next steps are and who to go through. Neighbours home owner ins said talk the condo board, condo board said talk to the tenant’s ins. Tenant’s ins said they don’t cover structural damage and won’t proceed with the claim.

Family member is willing to pay out of pocket for the fix if need be. but neither them nor the neighbour nor the condo board know the next steps.

My home has builder greige walls, grey carpet, a white kitchen with grey countertops … and I like it! My sister is gen Z and her home is filled with dark wood MCM furniture and tiny knicknacks everywhere and it gives me anxiety. I still enjoy light bright and airy and don’t like the new trend towards “cozy” and “moody” maximalist rooms.

After the birth of my second child I’m pretty positive I have a urethral prolapse. But I have no idea how to go to get it fixed.

I went to my OB first and they denied me. I went to my family doctor but he doesn’t do female anatomy stuff and sent off a referral. The first referral was denied, I’ve been waiting for a second referral for weeks now.

I’m at a loss. I just want this fixed. It’s uncomfortable and gross.

Has anyone dealt with this and know what my next steps are?
