Hi all,

My son will be here in about two months and my wife and I need some help! I am from the Netherlands where Wim and Willem are very popular. Dutchies will know, but the W has a slight V pronunciation.

My wife loves Wim, both the English and Dutch pronunciation. She is a bit self conscious about her Dutch pronunciation of it. We are currently living in America.

Is it weird if my wife and I slightly pronounce our son’s name differently? If she goes with the English phonetic pronunciation and I the Dutch?

Wim can also be a short form for Willem, we are on the fence about which to choose. My concern with Willem is that he will get called William all the time and constantly have to cor

Ok hear me out guys.

Raptors purposely threw this game because they work best as total underdogs and forever need to be the “ultimate slept-on” team of all time.

This game confirms for me: BACK TO BACK

So far in my journey I have been prescribed Rizatriptan, Elatriptan and Sumatriptan.

Each time I get rebound headaches that are so brutal it’s not worth the half day of relief. My doctor said this comes with overuse but the thing is- I don’t think I have ever overused. At peak I was using one tablet (40mg) a week and more regularly just once every two weeks.

Has anyone had this?

Thanks all!

My mother-in-law is visiting from the Netherlands. It is her first time in North America and for some reason a top request is to go to a casino. I think she has images from tv and movies of a Las Vegas type atmosphere.

I am rather new here myself and have not been to any casinos. Where would you take her?

Today I asked if they could ice my Rose Tea Latte and they said no. Can anyone tell me why it would be a problem? I think they would taste so nice!

Thank you

Hi all, my husband is a new immigrant to Canada and looking for work. He has attended some events with Immigrant Services Calgary and noticed a "Virtual Career Fair" is happening March 15 and 16. There are several speakers from different companies and one is World Financial Group. I am shocked that an event funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is hosting predatory MLMs in front of such a vulnerable group. I have serious questions about some of the other companies listed as well. I emailed them and they said they would "keep it in mind for next time."

Am I overreacting? Am I wrong about this company? Should I contact someone else?

Edit: Immigrant services Calgary not Ca

My husband is a new immigrant to Canada. He is in the process of looking for work and found a job fair designed for immigrants and refugees put on by an affiliate of the Canadian government. I was absolutely shocked to find that World Financial Group and Mary Kay were to be present and WFG is giving a presentation. I wrote an email asking about their selection process, explaining the predatory nature of MLM'S and asking them to remove those companies. They simply said thank you and that they would "keep it in mind for next time".

I'm feeling pretty pissed and yet not surprised they would prey on such vulnerable people desperately looking for work. I kind of want to picket- over reaction?
