"Shelley-Anne Bacsu was a 16-year-old girl from Hinton, Alberta, who disappeared on the evening of May 3, 1983. After babysitting at her boyfriend’s brother’s trailer in the Sunset Trailer Park, approximately 7 km from her home, Shelley-Anne called her mother and said she would be home in about 15 minutes. She even asked her mom to make her some pasta for when she arrived home.

Shelley-Anne had told her family she was getting a ride home from a friend, however he later stated he had never been contacted by her to pick her up. Witnesses later reported seeing Shelley-Anne walking along Highway 16 carrying what appeared to be school books. Other witnesses reported seeing an unknown van with a tall blonde male driver, where a young girl was allegedly being pushed or pulled into the vehicle. It was also reported there were additional people inside the van.

When Shelley-Anne failed to return home, her family immediately became worried and searched the route themselves before contacting the RCMP. Days later, several of her personal belongings were discovered near the Athabasca River, leading investigators to believe foul play was involved." - **PleaseBringMeHome Mission Website**

As someone who grew up in that small town and had a family member who was around the same age & went to the same school - this case was/is often on all our minds.

It is heavily believed by locals it was done by someone/s who is also local.
The RCMP handled it so poorly,, I do hope they eventually feel pressured to excavate the vehicle (who buries a vehicle anyways?) That family has fought so hard for answers, I really hope they find them. I just wanted to share. To get the story even further out there to a new branch of people,, maybe then we can see further efforts being put in by law enforcement.

Hello!! I had unexpected bills and have been having to delay paying off my ambulance bill. (I can provide proof of the bill) any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!

To start off - I want to say I never had issues with the upstairs tenants much, the wife has texted me passively randomly a few times but it was always very one sided and extremely random. It never caused bad blood and she went back to very friendly everytime right after so I never think much of it. (The landlord mentioned this to me as a heads up before too.)

I currently live in a basement suite while they occupy the actual house. (Both renting from the landlords so they do not own the property or my agreement - I also moved in first.) but the laundry machines are upstairs but directly beside the door going upstairs.

I work shift work, so 12 hour shifts with 1.5-2 commutes each way so i'm gone minimum 15 hours on a work day and often change between days and nights so our original set up was I send my work schedule and they pick a day that works best for them and myself for my days off. We did this for 3 months.
However, last Sunday I got up after my final night shift around 3pm to a passive aggressive text stating "today is your laundry day. We accommodate you so much. From now on, it's Friday's only - if you miss it too bad." But my laundry day was Monday... not Sunday for this very reason, so I could sleep. I never missed or changed a singular laundry day.

After stating that, she said "oh ok" but still doubled down on Friday's. This obviously doesn't work for me, I'm not going to wake up middle the day from nights to do laundry before another shift or on days after 15 hours do 2-3 hours laundry when i'm already tired and need to go back in less than 11-10 hours. I also.. do weekly loads so my work wear is done for the next rotation which is normal??

I discussed with her my thoughts, and she back peddled saying she only chose Friday cause my availability (i'm only available 2 outta 5 weeks Friday's lol) so I sent over options such as getting a white board to put in the room so dates aren't forgotten, less full household communication etc. Also sent my full work schedule (showing details like days and nights not just unavailable days.) She either stops messaging or ignores my suggestions/work schedule completely.

I did discuss with my landlord and they are willing to step in as it's my right to have access and i'm only a singular person who uses it max 2-2.5 hours per weekly session - being within their upstairs space under 10 minutes each time.
I don't want them to dislike me or have actual tension between us since I do like living here but I simply cannot do that routine. I'd be 10000% okay with it if I worked Mon-Fri 9-5 but I don't. I'm not sure how long I wait till I let the landlords step in as August is coming up soon.

UPDATE #1: [UPDATE] Landlord is out of town till Monday and wants to do it face to face instead over the phone. So i'll update on Monday what's going to happen. I shared all the text convos with the landlord aswell🙏 Thank you for all the comments and suggestions!! I appreciate it alot!

Hey ya'll - as it says above, I had an endoscopy 2 days ago to check on my EOE and they mentioned a hiatal hernia was found. I had scopes before, not even that long ago and it was never noted.. or maybe just wasn't there? As I was very loopy when it was over, they didn't tell me much about it and booked me in for a follow up in September - so I presume not much of a concern currently.
I don't feel any symptoms from it from the list i've seen, even in the photos of my scope I have no idea what looks wrong LOL Just wanting to hear ya'll experiences if you got that aswell and how it's been affecting your EOE journey?

Hii everyone!
I've only ever had a full impaction (spitting, vomiting etc.) never a partial but after I ate something feels... weird.

What does a partial impaction feel like and how did you deal with it??

Hii!
Bills have been stacking up and I need help paying off my ambulance bill which is 385$ CAD. I can repay in full Aug 5th, 2026 or in 2 sets of payments within that time frame. :)

I can do paypal & etransfer.
I appreciate your consideration!! :)

This is kind of just a rant? But maybe others will feel the same? I don't overthink body image or beauty standards a whole lot whether myself or others. However, every time I am asked to meet up with a potential friend or partner I suddenly have my self esteem plummeting into oblivion and i'll make up every excuse in the book to not meet up. I suddenly get really mortified about being perceived a certain manner that isn't up to par with potential expectations visually. I basically destroy any chance of a typical social life before it even really begins.
I don't think about it a whole lot when there's no prior set up,, like i'm just existing with people but once there is - I can't control the urges to just fold on myself.

Sometimes when i'm alone in public like a mall... I look around at people who don't fit the media beauty standard and I think they look perfectly fine and there's nothing wrong with anybody so why don't I feel the same about myself.

Hi ya'll!
I no longer work there (thank god) but that job and my current job are unionized. That last job you had a union but your representatives are your literal coworkers who volunteered,, so the managers are still their higher ups aswell. I always found that weird cause what's the odds of having a fair discussion when both parties would be scared to go against their higher ups? Plus all the union reps were very close with the management/work closely together on regular everyday duties. This isn't a small business either,, this is a CITY job LOL

My current job, I was shocked that in the mail I had received a physical card with my union details, designated union advocate etc. No direct workplace connection at all.

I never ever had a unionized job prior to these two, so i'm unsure what the standard is. The first I do believe is just.. inappropriate but i'm just curious if it's kind of common??

SO long story short - I got my dream job over a year ago, did classes, coaching, etc... successfully on my own and 1.5 weeks before probation ending (a total of 9 months.) I was brought into an office and pretty much slaughtered by my managers... not on my work performance... on my personality (more introverted/reserved, stoic, minds my own business but still friendly.. doing my job) which I had always had low self esteem over but been going to therapy to fix that for years - which was therapists primarily pushing to accept and love myself as i'm hurting no one.

(This was an over the phone job, no in person business.)

I felt so confident in this job and comfortable that this hit me really hard and broke down all the progress I made on self acceptance. Them waiting right before probation upset me even more, they had 9 months to talk with me and never did about a singular thing. They took that time to build me up as a person who hated being there, felt like this was a waste of time etc. All because I wasn't outwardly beaming with enthusiasm and sat in a cubical not in the focal point of the room. They were a very clique like work place.. so one didn't like you - they gossiped till they all didn't like you. They refused to hear me out... simply told me I needed therapy purely on this introverted behaviour lmao NEVER in my life have I ever felt like I did during those meetings and the days leading up to my lay off (literally last day of probation lmao) I cried every night for approx 2 months. My self esteem was as low as it could go - it was something I couldn't just change either. The fact a whole another version of myself was built from the ground up to them cause these people never tried to speak to me. It's been 7-8 months and i'm still aching from it honestly.

I am now at a similar job,, probation ends this week and I know i'm not being let go. I work with who hired me as he's my team lead - who confirmed i'm fine and they already let go who didn't achieve it. But i'm still feeling so sick, anxious and freaking out about it. I have no confidence in myself anymore - or general trust. Where I work now communicates well with me,, they try unlike the other. But man I hate feeling like this when all odds point to i'm okay but I can't get over the hurt from so long ago.

It just bothers me they continue with their lives not knowing how badly they set me back and how godawful that whole last 1.5 weeks were cause how unprofessional they were.
(They are even a gov facility lmao)

I just wanted to vent.. as I have a few more days coming up and I still feel so ill😭🙏

Hi guys!

I'm looking for suggestions for sunscreens that have a shimmer element but do the job well :)
Aswell any recommendations for sunscreen sticks that don't heavily affect the makeup underneath.

Thank you!! :)
