We have our annual extended family picnic on Canada day and I wanted to bring a hero dish that everyone will talk about, but is easy to make?

It's going to feel like 45..

And people are bringing drinks, fruit trays, salad and we will be BBQ hamburger and hot dogs

What should I bring ?

What should I bring ?

I just found out I was pregnant yesterday via a blood test. I didn't even call anyone or say the word pregnant when she got home from school.

Thos morning while in the washroom she very quietly asked me if I was pregnant. I was stunned and asked Her why she's asking and she told me it's because she had a dream.

I don't know how to feel

Here's a timeline of everything that's happened

On April 27 I found out I was pregnant but the HCG was low only 15 and progerstrone was like 2. On April 29 HCG dropped to 5 and on May 1 I got my period

I did ultrasound and blood test at the fertility clinic and on May 21 I showed I had a mature egg 18mm and my at home test should I was ovulating. I had intercourse may 21 and may 23

On June 1 I took at home pregnancy test clear blue and the line was very faint positive. On June 2 I did a HCG blood test and they said it was negative. Not pregnant

On June 8th I did another at home digital pregnancy test and it said negative.

On June 10 I took at home ovulation strip and it was 80, peak, very dark. But I still hasn't gotten my period. I took the same ovulation test June 9 and June 11 and it was all the same 80 and very dark. I had intercourse June 12. And next day ovulation test still said 80, peak.

On June 25 and I still haven't gotten my period. I went in for a HCG test and its 7600 and my progerstrone is 16. I took an at home pregnancy test and it says pregnant 3+ weeks

How?

My kids has too much doctor appointments this summer so I'm trying to give her new experiences to look forward to inbetween.

She's 5 and easily get tired so I will have to take a stroller with me.

But I am looking to just get on a bus or a train (or drive) to experience Toronto.

For example, we have never been to Allan gardens or the music garden.

She's been to high park, centre island, museum, old spaghetti factory, Ripley's.

But where are these really cool places that's nice to experience in or around Toronto?

What's your favorite spots? Food, outdoors or otherwise ?

Im 39, married with a 5 year old- I will be 40 in September

I've never felt included or like I belonged with my older brothers and now their wives are extremely close and I always feel like an outsider.

I bought my first house 4 years ago and have been married to my husband for 10 years.

My 5 year old was recently diagnosed with cerebral palsy, mild, but it affects the right foot and requires tons of physio, being active etc.

We've been trying to get pregnant for 2 years and have been working with a fertility clinic, there's no obvious reason why it's not happening.

My husband has not had a stable income in 3 years and I've been carrying the entire house financially. But, he's not a bum or lazy, which is why I have tolerated and have been fine with carrying the finances tho that does take a toll on me. He's an extremely brilliant software engineer, but I know his downside is he doesn't socialize very well whether it's with interviews or even social, I always get anxious taking him out with friends or family cause I can tell that others just don't connect with him.

And I hate it or I will go places with myself and my daughter only to social events.

He's a great father, he pulls his weight around the house for sure, inbetween contract positions he builds ai apps etc. so he's not idle and doesn't lose his knowledge in the industry.

But I'm just tired.

We don't ever go on dates or do anything romantic, cause I always feel like we're in survival mode, the job and finances are a huge thing over our heads. I don't like how he interacts with others so I avoid taking him to social places as much as I can. We have no vacations planned, we don't have a big social life, I'm not getting pregnant and lately I've wondered if I even should. He's 50, and I worry about the stats. But I want another kid so bad. I sometimes think about getting a sperm donor without telling anyone, but I absolutely cannot do that to him. Either we split up and I take that route or we continue to try together and hope for the best? We've taken every supplement to help with quality, but of course..there's only so much you can do

We both work from home and we don't talk much. I've become very resentful towards him and I feel like between his age and kids and the finances, he holds me back?

I have no one to blame but me.

Do I leave and just live a solitude life with my kid? Or do I stay and try to get the spark back?

Hi my kid will need intense physio and ot and my current job only has $250/year for physio. After she gets Botox and serial casting 2 weeks of intense physio costs $5000.

I've worked in digital marketing and ads for 10 years and I'm a senior paid media specialist. I'm good at what I do, but all the companies across North America (I'm in Toronto) just don't give me an interview even.

I'm desperate to find a good with great benefits and would love feedback on where to search and how I can make my resume stand out?

I feel so much pressure from this time contraint

I started by giving claude all mt details and goals and even talked about mental triggers that make me over eat or I don't feel like getting out of bed

It started talking to me and started giving me little chunks to do at a time just to get started

I also log my food daily (I got back and find the same chat) and it will give me a run down of my all my macros and if I'm still hungry I'll tell if what foods I have and it will give me the beer suggestion

It's also really (I know fake) encouraging and positive as well

I want to be at least 149 (aggressive goal) by mid-wnd August so I also asked for it to give me what my weight should be every week I weigh in

Just feel like it organizes my thoughts for me and I've actually been sticking to my diet this time... for once

I sent an email to anytime fitness asking to cancel my membership, and still got charged - I called them and asked to cancel and they asked what email I sent it to

And it was anytimefitnesslocation@gmail.COM

They said their email is .ca

But .com is the email they have listed on the main anytime fitness website for their specific location

I called them again to cancel and sent them an email on March 17 tell them that I would like to cancel

"Hi, please cancel my membership"

They've been charging me my fee still biweekly which i didnt notice until I got an email saying that my credit card declined recently from anytime fitness

I emailed them asking why they're still charging me I called and they said it's because I never confirmed my cancelation, and if I want to cancel now, I have to pay them the failed payment to bring my account up to date and then cancel.

I searched my email and apparently they responded to my cancelation asking to clarify if I want to pause or cancel and because I didn't respond to that they continued to charge me.

I don't know why this enrages me so much?

Am I right to be so outraged or am I overreacting?

-they have the wrong email listed to contracted them

-I call to cancel they say to email

-I emailed to cancel

Can I report them or recoup the money?

I have a 5 year old child. I was 34 and 125 pounds, my husband was 45.

We've been trying for about a year with some strips and monitoring around mid 2024

In 2025 August wr went to a Fertility clinic- they were SO adamant to go straight to ivf.

We did maybe 1 or 2 cycle of letrozole and I did not get pregnant

Im amh is great, my husband's mobility and count is beyond amazing (now 50 yo)

Jan 2026 we did ivf , but unfortunately my husband was sick about a month before qnd his supermarket cpunt flopped from 280 million to about 1 million. They did retrieve 10 eggs and were able to use 6. None of them made it.

I went to a new Fertility clinic and on my first try with letrozole I got pregnant, first pregnancy since think, but it was a chemical pregnancy and not viable.

I tried again once more but it didn't work

After giving birth I gained a lot of weight...I'm and still have it I'm now 165 pounds, 5'3.

My Fertility clinic says they want to do a biopsy so I am waiting for my next period to do it.

In the mean time I was thinking about doing mounjaro for a few months and wait for the 2 month wash out period to try to conceive again. My goals weight would be minimum 140.

I'll be 40 in September

Is it worth it to stop trying for 4-5 months and bring down my weight and in the mean time continuing to take my supplements coq10 etc. Or am I wasting time?

Isn't afford nothing round of ivf right now either...

My 5 yo needs to get a new cast for leg every Wednesday for the next few weeks.

Her cast comes off Tuesday nights for bath and Wednesday at 1pm it goes on.

This was our first week, and I decided to take her to high park (10 min away from doc) before her appointment to have some fun at the James bell park.

This was my first time being there ever despite growing up in toronto and wow!!! It's so beautiful!!

I'd love to hear some of your favorite spots in high park that would be fun to check out?

I specially love willow trees and would love to just be surrounded, not sure exactly what I'm looking for but it was so so nice to be surrounded by green today.

P.s. how is the restaurant there? I saw a sign for it?

P.s.s. any favorite food places to check out? After her cast goes on she can't walk on it for 5 hours so I'd like to take her for a bite to eat before heading home

My 5 yo needs serial casting on her leg for the next 4 weeks, her ortho is right at junction, Dundas and keele q

I have never really been in this area or high park - this is one place I've never explored

Is there any places we should check out, eat, parks etc. That she will like?

We may head to that area earlier because when she gets her cast on she can't walk for 4 hours so we use the stroller

I worked for an agency that got acquired on March 2026. Previous to that, I worked at the agency for 3 years.

Last week I had a meeting that they wanted to transition me to ppc manager over the next 6 months.

There was always 2 ppc specialist working on 25+ client google ads accoint. The 1 ppc person quit and we were in the middle of hiring a 2nd when the acquisition happened.

They had no intention of hiring a 2nd ppc person so I took on all 25 clients, Google ads only.

We've had meetings with all clients to talk about the acquisition and make sure to reassure them I'm staying on their account.

This 1 client has an ad spend of $150,000 and always wants to spend more.

For google their budget is $60,000. Last month we were pacing slowly so I increased the daily to reach the $60k before April ends, but I never reduced the daily back on May 1.

This is a law client. We had to tell him yesterday that we overspend $104k and he was pissed, even tho he could afford. The overspend brought him an additional $223,000 revenue, which covers the $104k plus more for profit, but he doesn't care, he wants the agency to pay for it.

Everyone's just pissed at me but still very respectful.

I ended up have a miscarriage may 1, and my 24 year old cat died the week after and the same week my kid had to get a cast for her leg, so lots of doctor appointment- this was the first time I have ever made a mistake. They don't know all of these details but everything happened within a 2 week period, and I only called in sick 3 days total.

What is going to happen to me?

There's nothing in the contract about overage and the client cc is attached to all ad platforms.

Is the agency liable for the $104k overage?

If they keep me, how do I recover from this?
