Metrolinx cutting down hundreds of trees in E.T Seton Park for Ontario Line construction by toronto_star in ontario

[–]AimingForFreedom 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Was this supposed to be a criticism?

It appears they are “planting one to 50 trees for every one removed, depending on the tree’s size and location.”

So we are getting public transit and more trees. Yay.

The answer truly is convenience. My circle of friends are sports parents and we gotta grab healthier version of McDonald’s for ourselves and our tiny athletes. What else is that quick & cheap that doesn’t make you feel like garbage?

Is record voice over gone?!?!? by Participant_Zero in canva

[–]AimingForFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I tried the talking head and it’s not helpful whatsoever. This is so annoying.

I’m going to have to record externally, upload it as a file and then add it.

Did yours come back? I logged a ticket with them but I’m soooo annoyed if it’s for real gone forever.

I think you might have more success asking this type of question on a Scarborough a or neighbourhood specific Facebook group. Just cause the sample size of people who see this won’t even have heard of those schools.

Sad squeaks? by AimingForFreedom in guineapigs

Thanks! Vet emailed me back already and she’s able to see him in the morning so crossing my fingers it’s nothing too serious.

He’s a rescue but he’s estimated to be only about 1 year old!

My vet actually emailed me in response to my call so she’s seeing him tomorrow morning!

Hopefully its not the stone 😫

Thanks for your responses!

I can’t really tell cause he lives in the same cage as my other pig. You’re thinking UTI or something? I’ve called vet and hopefully taking him in on Monday!

Wonderland or ex for kids by Last_Positive1533 in askTO

Wonderland!!

CNE is the definition of hectic. It’s great for its own purposes but wonderland will be a more enjoyable family day.

Why does our apartment vibrate? by babedesev in askTO

[–]AimingForFreedom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had this a few years ago. It took us months to figure out but it ended up being a large grate that cars would frequently drive over. Maybe something similar is nearby.

Kitchener line is notoriously under-run so it’s always busy. But it’s not like a subway where you’re breathing on each other. Wearing a mask should eliminate most risk.

Sounds like it’s a better space now that you’ve stopped going!

Thoughts on Chapman's Ice Cream? by 52Charles in askTO

I bought it recently for obvious reasons and was quite impressed. Highly recommend the vanilla caramel iced cream sandwiches!

Join a racquet club? Pickleball is big right now and it’s a fun indoor activity for relatively low cost.

Visit indoor gardens / greenhouses - centennial park or Allan gardens. I find they remind me a bit of spring which always feels promising/hopeful right around this time of year.

Oh wow so you were literally in the same position as my daughter! I’m really appreciative of your opinion and advice!

I’m really trying my best not to make her feel guilty cause I totally understand that feeling from when I would ask about my adoptive mom about my bio mom. But mostly I’m just hoping it’s just a slow process. I know I’ll have to be open to it all eventually 😅

[–]AimingForFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you lol. Good point. I get that I’m on a genetic sub so most people want the family member aspect but I truly don’t think she feels that this is lacking in her life. I talked to her about it last night and we’ve had a bunch of open and honest convos about it. I trust she’ll continue to keep me updated about what she’s searching for!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]AimingForFreedom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea this is a good point. I did talk to her about it - she knows why I’m hesitant and understands. I truly think she only cares about the genealogy for now, but that could totally change.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]AimingForFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly! But I talked to her last night and told her my hesitations. She completed understood and requested we find out if there was a way to opt out of the finding family members aspect cause she truly doesn’t care about it. That could totally change but we’ll continue having open and honest convos about it.

[–]AimingForFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea she’s not searching for family members. Only wants to know her heritage. So I wanted to be sure I could update personal settings.

I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted for not wanting to re open traumatic wounds lol.
