My mother hates me...and can I blame her? I probably hate myself just as much or more than she does. She's threatening to kick me out for the second time now...or actually I think she may have told me I better be getting out soon. You have no idea how sad I am that I injured myself and was unable to work for a month and help pay for the bills...you have no idea how frustrated I am with EI that it takes FOREVER to ever see money from them, which at this point I'm starting to doubt whether I ever will, but it made me really sad that you assumed I wasn't going to call my job to see if I could come back now...I told you I had to wait for that stupid trailer to be gone. I know how much of a failure I am to you, I know how much of a failure I am to myself. You remind me how stupid and how much I disappoint you all the time. I have no idea where I will go if you kick me out, probably the streets, I rather that then go back to those horrid homeless shelters I've stayed at before. I wish I would've known I was about to be homeless before I put a deposit down on a 1500$ dog, that I have no idea how I'm going to take care of now. I'm trying to figure out ways I can come up with the rent money fast so you wont feel like you have to kick me out or cancel our trip, so I'm looking into stripping and checking out sugar daddy dating sites cause I have no idea what else I'm suppose to do here, how else I'm suppose to just come up with all of this money. I really am sorry mom that I'm not a better person, a less lazy person, a less insignificant, stupid, disappointing person. I'm really and truly sorry I have failed in everyway imaginable. —Sad and Alone Forever

Why no handy J... blue cross is paying —not very happy with the ending

It is preached that on Good Friday - Christ was crucified died and buried - and then rose form the dead on Easter Sunday. He laid in the tomb for three days and three nights. That's 72 hours. This makes Good Friday totally false. If he rose from the dead on Sunday (when Mary Magdeline found the rock rolled away from the tomb entrance Sunday morning and the body of Christ gone) 72 hours before that would mean he had to be crucified on Thursday evening at the earliest and probably earlier in the day on Thursday... not Good Friday as has been preached for so long. It is very basic math. How could this slip by anybody? I believe it happened... but I think they may have the days confused. —Confused about Easter

If I read another article suggesting the best way to deal with apparent labour shortages (first of all, where?) is for people to continue working long past retirement age I'm going to scream. I know it's hard for you (Boomers) to contemplate your mortality but you cannot live forever. And therefore you cannot work forever. And therefore this theory is BS.

The actual solution is for you to retire gracefully having trained someone to take on your role. Who will then gracefully do the same. This is the natural order of things. Not working til you are senile and all of the young people have slit their wrists. —Young and Close to Leaving

My wife runs a daycare and one family constantly sends their kid sick, she was sent home twice this week due to vomiting and diarrhea, both times the parents dropped her off said she was fine the kid was white as a ghost and burning up.. the best art is the father doesn't even work full time, just too fucking lazy to take care of his kid. Sending your kid sick makes everyone else sick, all the other kids end up getting it ( thankfully their parents keep them home) and my wife ends up sick and inevitably my kids and I end up sick. Fuck I'm tired of this shit, BTW the wife is interviewing other families and when she picks one you're going to be dropped. —Tired of being sick

Wouldn't it be great if all renters could see the garbage on their lawns, steps, and curbs and pick it up? Let's declare a "tenants take charge" day where everyone living in a rental unit on the peninsula is kept out of their apartment until they clean up the friggin' garbage from the past 6 months. —Can't believe your mother would let you ignore this

Spring brings evidence of a winter's worth of dog poo and blue elastics, among other litter. At least we know where all the blue elastics come from, don't we? —Garbage picker-upper, but not by choice

Through a friend of a friend on Facebook I was informed that you're in Halifax, after being gone so long. Apparently you're nothing but mopey and gloomy…

The world's not against you, you still have supporters and friends here in Hali, that YOU push/are pushing away. You're lonely because of you.

I'm not going to chase your Friendship anymore, it's no longer worth my time to try, as you've made me realize. So enjoy wandering around in your life of self-pity... I wish you the best, and maybe one day, smile for yourself. —Lost Love/Lost Friend/No more

Why are we, as taxpayers, forced to provide a roof over the head of criminals and their families? If someone is convicted of a crime and lives in subsidized housing, I think they and their whole family should be thrown out onto the street. I really don't care where you live, the milk of human kindness is curdled here. — V. Putin.

seems to be some weird shit in the water when it comes to male/female relations in the 2010s. now that women can take care of their own business, it seems like men have not only given up trying to take care of women, but themselves too. why are there so many unemployed, unambitious, non-committal 30+ year old 'men' in Halifax? it's bizarre and unusual. meanwhile, women are really ramping it up, buying homes and advancing careers and having families on their own, but alone. it's too bad. it seems like a combination of bad economics and a few decades of telling men not to be men. the modern male identity has been vilified to the point of rendering men fucking useless. i am in favour of equality but i am still a woman and it would be nice to encounter a male-identifying person who wasn't a selfish immature slack-off loser who has no idea how to 1. date a woman and 2. provide for her or himself. how will i spread my seed and find a suitable mate when i'm more successful than almost every man i know? it's too bad really. for them. —fix it, you fucks
