I've got to say I was impressed with the setup at the orthodondist (emergency repair). Little cones of silence (floor to ceiling) around each chair. Hepa filter next to the chair.

Now all I need is for the hygenist at the dentist to get back to work and I might be able to get another cleaning in before then end of the year.

Agree! I was traumatized as a child. In March, I had an emergency visit that ended with the recommendation to immediately have a tooth pulled and cried like a baby. LOL

I don't mind it either - find it relaxing. Actually have almost dozed off at the dentist. I guess because I haven't had any major issues - just cleaning, check up, and out quickly with my new toothbrush! Lucky I guess. But yeah, we're both probably weird.

So an update to what you can earn points on at Shell. It seems that starting last week that you can no longer earn Air Miles on Lottery. Phooey because that is what I normally bought at Shell to earn points. Guess I will be getting my lottery somewhere else. We have been treating ourselves to $50 worth of scratch tickets every week and I earned 5 whole air miles each week. These tickets are scratched by 3 people so not just for me. Sometimes I cashed in my points (on my birthday I did that), sometimes I paid cash and other times I cashed in our winnings. We have been racking up the winnings during this pandemic time and I still have a whopping $176 left of winnings. I think in total I have had over $400 in winnings. Oh well it was fun while it lasted. I will still buy tickets but maybe somewhere else now.

I originally thought that you were referring to how many people are just nervous of the dentist but it just now occurred to me that maybe it was a Covid nervous.

Agree! I was traumatized as a child. In March, I had an emergency visit that ended with the recommendation to immediately have a tooth pulled and cried like a baby. LOL

I also had a bad experience as a child but it was because my regular dentist had to send me to someone closer to home to have 10 filings done. We lived 3 hours away. I guess I'm lucky that I had the same dentist from the age of 3 until he passed away when I was in my late 20's. He was an incredibly kind and gentle man. There was something calming about him. A few years before he passed he merged his office in with a friend of his from dental school. I then stayed with him for several more years until he retired. That man also absolutely lovely. Funny thing was he had HUGE hands.

I don't mind it either - find it relaxing. Actually have almost dozed off at the dentist. I guess because I haven't had any major issues - just cleaning, check up, and out quickly with my new toothbrush! Lucky I guess. But yeah, we're both probably weird.

I have fallen asleep in the chair. The dentist with the big hands would tap me on the forehead and say 'tappy, tappy.....you ok in there". I went through a time with him that I spent a lot of time in the chair. He and his assistant would chatter away in a very low tone and I would zone out and fall asleep.

I saw a truck with this on it " Voila by Sobeys " on it outside my home on Tuesday and then saw this in the flyer section.
I didn't know they did home delivery.

They started a few weeks ago, just in the Toronto area unfortunately for those of us who live elsewhere. I would love it if Sobey's delivered here as although they are the most expensive grocery store around here, they have a few things that only they sell.

DH got the oil changed at Jiffy Lube yesterday. When the employee asked if he collected AM, my husband said: Thanks for asking, I’d be in big trouble with my wife if I forgot.

I thought Disney was automatically extending the expiry date to September 2021 at least. Did you have that hassle because you extended it past that date?

If we bought the passes between March 2020 and June 2020, they would have been automatically extended. We bought them in January 2020, - so we didn't qualify for the extension.

 

[kerreyn]

@kerreyn When are you going to wdw again?

We're going September 14 - 25, 2021. You?

Sobeys (ON) has a weird deal, spend $100 this week and get 5X AM next week... guess they want people to return.

So how exactly does this work?
I spent $140.00 last week at Sobeys during the above offer.
So 5x What?

These are the airmiles that posted this week for that shop.

I think you should have received a coupon or something maybe? So now whatever you spend this week earn you 5x the AM? I didn't do it because I wasn't spending that much. Maybe someone else knows?

 

[juniorbugman]

So I went to Sobeys yesterday and spent $156 and earned 7 base miles and and the unlocked offer - 5x base miles of 28 miles. No coupon required - just had to earn the deal last week. I found last weeks ad and it says "spend $100 this week and unlock 5 base miles( 1 base + 4 bonus miles per $20) spent next week. Max 500 miles per collector number so not sure if it is a one and done deal or you can use it more than once. It may be that you can use it for the whole week because it says per $20 spent on all qualifying transactions between July 16-22.

 

[bababear_50]

Thanks guys
I must admit I am still confused but I'm sure it will become clear after a good nite's rest.

Edited to ask:
So this week I earn 5 base miles for every 20$ I spend?
So I'd have to spend another $100.00 this week just to get 25 airmiles?

 

[ottawamom]

The Sobeys offer is not really a great deal if you ask me.

I was shopping for loaded offers this week and somehow managed to spend just over $100 so I now qualify for the 5x deal next week. I pray there are good offers next week to make the shop worthwhile to collect something out of the 5x deal. Maybe I'll stock up the freezer with some meat.

I think that is correct Mel. I spent the required $100 last week and I asked when I did it if I needed for a coupon to be scanned or anything like that. The cashier was oblivious and had no clue. I just thought I would see what you guys all said LOL. I am kind off my AirMiles game right now!

Well we bypassed the *wonderful 5x* deal and picked up our groceries at No Frills.
We actually spent way less and earned a good amount of PC points.
So Airmiles you are going to have to do better to get me back to Sobeys.
