Set up a forwarding rule for all emails to your personal, I would still check every so often but it helps a lot with consolidating.

Edit: just for clarity, the 3 was huge on the sign and ‘brocoli was in tiny abbreviated letters at the bottom. Clearly was meant to be a catch all sign for the bin.

Edit 2 for people who haven’t worked signage: it is standard practice to print “catch all signs” for a bunch of similar products under the same sign which they did here. They were all PC brand frozen fruit and veg (mango, strawberry, eggplant, carrots) in a promotional bin away from their home shelf with no signage for the fruit. I worked retail and did signage and we did this all this time and I’ve seen this mistake many times, difference is my store would always match it. Brocoli was not sold out it was on the home shelf, likely a tired employee grabbed a bunch of PC brand frozen fruit and vegetable then scanned the product listed on the flyer and didnt pay attention.

I was walking around the back of the store and the big frozen promotional bins had a big red and yellow 3$ attached to it for all sorts of frozen veg and fruit. I got so excited I picked up several bags of frozen fruit since I can never afford it and went to the check out.

It rang up as 4.50, when I told the clerk the price was wrong they asked me to show them because apparently I was the ‘4th person that had said this to them but the shelf had the correct price.’

Walked them to the back and showed them the bin full of fruit with 3 dollars on it they replied “oh but the label says brocoli so it’s only for the brocoli.” When I mentioned there was no brocoli in the bin and all the fruit was there they just brushed it off and said they couldn’t do it.

I don’t blame the clerk directly she’s nice, but I can’t put into words my frustration. I also could never give cashiers a hard time since I was one for many years (though I would have absolutely given someone it for 3 dollars in this situation). It was clearly mislabeled where someone just printed off a big sign and dumbed a bunch of the wrong product in there, but I ended up having to ditch all my fruit since they wouldn’t price match the sign. I wanted my fruit. I should have gotten my fruit.

Edit: I can’t attend the one in Thorndale on August 20th/30th as I leave the Monday before it 😞

Hello 👋

I’m coming back to London to stay with my parents for a 3 weeks and was wondering if there will be any LARPing events or Renfaires in or around London. I looked around online and I didn’t see any, but wanted to check here to see if I missed them.

I know London has a LARP community (at least last I checked) but I don’t know if that’s something I can participate in only once while visiting.

I’ve wanted to try LARP for years now but I live in Quebec with (slowly improving) shitty French so I thought I’d take this chance to see if there are any I can participate in. I’m into anything, fantasy, Vampire the Masquerade, etc.

Thank you

What is wrong with you? I ended up missing several songs while I was coughing up a lung from you. Please have some respect and don’t smoke in the middle of a large audience you don’t know who around you might have health conditions.

Hello everyone, I was suggested to post here.

I’m in a country where you cannot buy actual lube, and am having sex for the first time. I’ve noticed I haven’t been getting wet enough and it might due to dehydration (came from a very cold country to a sweltering one, been sweating a lot) so we want to get a lube.

I heard coconut oil and olive oil that’s 100% pure and organic can both work, but I really don’t want to ruin my vacation with an infection if they fuck up the PH. I’ve only ever used regular lube so not sure how I’ll react, we aren’t using condoms (I have a hysto) so oil based lubes are ok.

Just wondering about second opinions or suggestions on how to keep myself healthy.

So In August of last year I got a total laparoscopic hysto (leaving overies) in December I went back to the gyno due to occasional bleeding and she spotted a small spot that wasn’t healed and slapped it with some nitrogen (or whatever they use).

Well I’m still bleeding every so often and it’s been a year. It’s like, once a month every 6-8 weeks maybe and always brown/pink, enough to fill a panty liner over a day.

I have been tested for infections, yeast and BV twice and didnt come back with anything positive (no STDs since I’ve had sex). I haven’t had an examination since December though since I’m far from my gyno.

Problem is in 10 days I leave to go see my long distance partner for the first time… and obviously I want to sleep with him, but I do kind of worry of something going wrong un a foreign country.

Not sure how stressed I should be since it’s always brown and I think it might just still be that spot that isnt healed yet.

Anyone have similar experience with bleeding? Any advice?

Hey everyone my unemployed ass has flipped around my sleep schedule really bad, I’m not getting tired until like 4-8am and then sleeping till 3-5pm. Now my heart is going all weird again and I think it’s due to my sleep quality (when I don’t sleep or eat enough I get heart palpitations and a heavy chest, which is so comforting for 23 year old me lol really need to think ahead to 50 year old me).

I have been super focused on drawing and working on a digital art piece most days, that’s how it got to be like this and I have nothing forcing me to wake up and get out of the house.

One day I fell asleep at like, 9pm but my body treated it like a nap and forced me awake at 1am which made my schedule even worse. 😞

Insomnia is a common symptom for me which is now kicking my ass with this since even if I lay down early I won’t sleep, I have trazadone for sleep (can’t afford other meds) currently but it makes it hard to get out of bed in the mornings. I just don’t want to try a “full reset” by staying awake for like 24 hours since I’m trying to be conscious of my health and heart.

So any advice is appreciated.

I like grocery shopping, I like spending my time finding deals and planning dinner but for the past few months every time I go I end up getting really severe sleep attacks. Sometimes I even need to ask the staff for a place to sit for 10-15 minutes while I wait for it to pass.

I have Narcolepsy type 2 so no cataplexy, just start being unable to keep my eyes open and a
Stumbling, can’t keep head up etc. It’s not the only place I get them but it’s almost guarantied I’ll get an attack when I go shopping. It’s very annoying and puts me in dangerous situations.

Any advice on how people stay awake during shopping is appreciated 😞

My psychiatrist suggested I have OCPD a while ago when I spoke about my severe communication anxiety. I get in spirals where I am overwhelmed and don’t answer a text or miss it and then begin avoiding my messages completely due to my growing anxiety.

It just makes the situation worse and I end up crumbling under pressure and messing up relationships and opportunities. I’m in the middle of a crisis right now and I realized a big part of it is me stressing over the perfect excuse/response to send a person to fix the situation and constantly putting it off.

Thinking about sending a text right now makes me want to cry. I am at my family house right now since April 22nd and told my roommate I’d message them the date I’d come back, right before I left they had blown up on me for several issues (that was mostly resolved) so I had my phone on Do no Disturb from the anxiety spike it caused. Since I was on dnd I missed when they first texted me in April, when I realized that I kept trying to think of how to respond and panicking, putting it off.

He had asked if I could look after his cat when he went away for a bit, I said I would love to but I’ll be away and idk when I’m coming back but I’d let him know when we decide I’ll return. Originally I mentioned it’d be in the beginning of may but I wasn’t feeling well and off my meds+doctors appointments so I’m leaving Tuesday now.

After missing the first text I kept thinking about how I’d do it tomorrow and make the “perfect” message to fix everything, but I never did and he texted me again today. I wanted to respond but I can’t bring myself to open the messages. I’m constantly trying to think about what excuse to say and how to word it so everything works out, but as time goes on the pressure only gets worse.

This isnt the first time this has happened it’s basically a constant for me and it’s unbearable. Just writing this post out admitting the roommate situation and thinking about how mad he must be and how terrible I’ve messed up/not met perfect standards makes me cry.

I have to deal with my roommate right now but I can’t even open the messages, I can’t think of what to say or what excuses to use. I have chronic health issues and had a lot of doctor’s appointments and delays? Idk he already blew up on me once the morning before I left town and it really messed me up.

I really want to get into LARPing but I am trash at speaking French (and can’t seem to find any in Montreal, not really sure where to start looking or if I’m even looking in the right places). I’ve never done it before but it seems so fun since I love DnD and have always loved improv/costuming.

Not sure if there are any campaigns going on in or around Concordia? Any suggestions are happily welcomed.
