There were video recordings in the library. Unfortunately they were recorded over before anyone could view them. But if there were recordings of Adnan in the library checking his emails and chatting with Asia would that change how you view the case?

This has always been a maddening case. Either it went down close to what Jay said. Or police coerced Jay into making up a story to convict someone he thought did the crime.

If Adnan did do the crime he should be out by now given he did it when he was 17.

But I honestly thought we'd have a clarity that either 99% would believe he did it, or 99% would believe he was innocent. Instead we are left with a 60-40 split.

My wife and I are closing in on retirement. We've done all the right things. We own a modest house and have no debt. We have signed up for a Service Canada account so know how much we are going to get at 65 or 70 if we decide to wait. We are working with a fee based advisor. We have saved in RRSPs and TFSAs and we get good returns in the market.

But we are having a hard time spending the money we've spent our life saving. We buy used vehicles and drive them for forever. We are generous to our kids and grandkids but just can't help living frugally. Our advisor could see we were very uncomfortable with the plan to start spending. He says almost everyone of our generation he works with has the same problem.

This is not a humble brag. But how do others decide to spend? Like practical advice?

I have a small northern cabin. Yes, I'm a boomer. I have ants in the cabin, I've sprayed and it kills the ants. It works for a week or two but they come back with a vengeance. Other than burning everything down, how do I get rid of them?

Every spring and fall we'd book to have our tires swapped and it was a pain to find an appointment. So a few years back, I'd get the spring tires done and immediately book an appointment to put the winter tires on. It made life so much easier and less stressful.

The food was amazing in the restaurant, while it certainly wasn't fast, it was worth the wait. The owners built this massive two or three story house/mansion just south of the restaurant and back from the highway. It says the restaurant is now permanently closed, but there is an addition to the house of what looks like adding an additional 50% with two garages.

Where the restaurant was, there is often a lot of activity and vehicles but I never see signs advertising it's an open business. Hopefully part of it is a good take out or eat in restaurant.

Often the good, humble people are passed over for awards. in the last seven years I’ve nominated people who received awards from their university, had a city park named after someone and a street named after another. they were delighted and it took me only a few hours.

An ordered evacuation is being issued by the RM of Shellbrook. Individuals who lives 1 mile west and 5 miles east of Shellbrook and are south of Highway 3 to the RM of Shellbrook border must evacuate immediately. The wildfire is fast moving and is heading north west. Evacuate immediately, do not delay.

We are vacationing together in an entire home and for the most part everything is going great. We had negotiated a five week rental next year where sister would get the first two weeks and we would have the last three weeks. There would be a few days of overlap. Sister said a month ago to book it for next year. We tentatively booked it with the proviso that we wait for final confirmation once sister sees it. She saw it, said book it! The host needed to check a few things out so we could not confirm it (luckily). A couple days ago she said she didn't want to book it and she was going to find a different place. We only wanted the place for three weeks, but the host was gracious enough to let us reduce it to a month instead. We've let our adult kids know about the new available dates and they were checking their holiday schedules. I'm not home yet so I don't know if they've booked anything.

The sister has been checking other places and realizes the places available to her for two weeks are not as nice and cost twice as much if they took the first two weeks with our place. So she said she'd like back in on the deal.

AITAH for telling her no? I said we'd already let our kids know and they would have the first right to the dates. I did say if it works out that the kids can't come then we could let her have the first two weeks. But that would mean we would only get half a month instead of the three weeks we actually wanted. We could ask the host if the fifth week is still available, but I don't want the host to think I am flakey.

Edit: Thank you for the feedback. We are going to solidify our plans with our kids. If we will only be there the first three weeks we’ll suggest the sister to contact the owner directly and make their own arrangements. We are going to stay out of it.

I'm financially fine and have several adult children. My brother is financially far better off, but never married or had kids. Initially he said he'd divide his estate equally among his siblings. Lately he said he'd not give me anything, but instead divide the portion he was going to leave me among my kids equally. It's his money to do whatever he wants. But we've been financially helping our kids a lot. If they get the inheritance they will be financially better off than I am. Which is great. But I've worked very hard and saved and drove second hand vehicles etc. I do not live an affluent lifestyle.

I've finally told him I don't really want to talk about his will anymore but he can do whatever he wants with his own money. But he still sneaks it into conversation. Why is he doing this and what can I do about it?

Not sure location is relevant, but it is in Canada

There are more and more obviously fake posts or AI created posts. If I read 'family helps family' and now everyone say I am 'ruining the vibe' etc. it almost certainly is AI.

I think it would be great where readers can help others identify the suspect posts. The arrow up and down vote is helpful but lots of posts can be real and still voted down.
