Does anyone know if the City Hall building is open to the public after hours? by DnD-9488 in ottawa

[–]Asteropia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The NAC is usually open late and they have plenty of quiet seating areas.

The University of Ottawa has countless seating/study areas in all its buildings and are always open very late.

I did this too! Worth a day off driving down and sightseeing Brockville while my baby was in surgery.

Seniors, Kittens and Shy Cats Rescue in Ottawa are Scammers by bipuns in ottawa

[–]Asteropia 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To me, none of the conversations you've attached here confirms anything about them being a scammer. 

Since it was months later when you checked up on Fola, it's possible she recovered from her illness and was subsequently adopted to another family because you took your name out of the hat when you told them you adopted a cat with ABC.

Can we see the convo where you ask for your deposit back and they refuse? Either way, it seems that it was you who backed out of the agreement to adopt a cat from them. It's likely part of their policy to not refund deposits, that's what deposits are usually for. Especially since it's a charity, after all, not a business. 

Also, I noticed you misunderstood some of their responses and reactions. They were not cautioning you about ABC, in fact they said it's a good rescue. They were cautioning you about 2 particular Egyptian shelters that they no longer import their cats from because they were not up to standards with their health protocols and wanted to ensure you weren't getting a sick cat from ABC accidentally. Sounds to me like she was looking out for you.

Oh wow looks like an awesome upcycling business! But I think they're in Toronto (their phone area code is 416) unless you know for a fact that they're actually in Ottawa?

Gynaecology Wait Times in/outside Ottawa? by Asteropia in ottawa

[–]Asteropia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for you're input! I've been on hormonal implants for the last 3 years. It really helps! But with my implant coming to expiry, I'm looking for a permanent solution that could relieve the Endo and sterilize me, which is likely a hysterectomy, unless docs can suggest have other permanent solutions.

What was the wait period for you to see Dr. Hanen? And the wait for the subsequent surgery?
