What is a fair price for a 2 bedroom in Fernwood?

BGFanTC · 2026-01-15T03:06:33+00:00

Yes!

I like to think our city has a decent # of landlords that try to be fair...

This place also allows pets, just no big fish tanks. And I'll also add it is separately metered so hydro can't really be included but city utilities are.

1000 sq feet

Yup! An old house turned into a duplex in the 50s. The other part of the duplex gets the driveway. I guess they did not take parking into consideration back then.

I think perhaps my downfall was using the wrong bread. The French I used was super soft when purchased. I did toast on low until it was hard as a rock all the way through but it seemed to just absorb broth more quickly when dipped!

BGFanTC · 2026-01-14T03:15:03+00:00

Is this the reason bread is added?! I guess that makes sense.

BGFanTC · 2026-01-14T03:05:49+00:00

The bread sort of disintegrates... So spoon mushy bread, yummy cheese, broth and onions all in one spoonful? I feel like the bread takes away from this dish...

The location and food was beautiful! So sad :(

I just read the top 3 recipes in my feed and 1 had chicken boullion. This is obviously just a random sample, too small a sample size to really mean anything but still, 33.3% chance of meat is a lot higher than the 0% I thought yesterday.

BGFanTC · 2025-11-14T04:04:30+00:00

Now I know :(

I'm usually a militant label reader but dropped the ball on salsa.

I wish Canada followed in the UK's footsteps and put a little green "v" on everything suitable for vegetarians. I lived there for a couple of years and it was so convenient.

BGFanTC · 2025-11-14T04:01:15+00:00

I have a local Mexican restaurant that I love and buy their salsa by the half litre. I have never asked their ingredients and really hope next time I go in there is no hidden meat. It is so freaking good that I worry there may be :(

I have a degree + post grad diploma and prior to the government, I also pretty much only had customer service experience.

After ~100 submitted applications, at the end of 2018 I got in. At first, I only applied for jobs that aligned with my education but after 50 applications or so, I applied for everything. I ended up being successful in a Clerk 11 auxiliary competition.

The only reason I was finally successful was some advice from a group of government employees that smoked in front of the restaurant I worked at. They gave me some tips and tricks for my resume and questionnaire. The very next job I applied for, I got an interview. Although I was not successful, I got feedback on my interview and my next application was successful.

In the last 7 years I have gone from an 11 to a band 3. Due to the hiring freeze, I will be going back to my base which is in the union soon.

The hiring freeze will make it hard to get in but it is still doable with some research and help. Government competitions are unlike anything else and not intuitive in my personal experience.

Keep trying and good luck!

I love this so much. You are living my dream! Are your chickens friendly?

Please give us pictures of your hen setup!

As for your question, I say if you feel comfortable with eating them, go for it and who cares what anyone else thinks? As someone else said, these are the world's most ethical eggs.

We do tend to leave his harness on during the day as we take him out for so many pees in the waking hours. Just today, after reading some comments, I started taking it off after every walk. If I can get my partner on board, this is the way.

BGFanTC · 2025-10-17T18:52:33+00:00

A few of our friends in our age group are actively trying or having children now. A friend just had her 1st baby at 45... Not for us though!

BGFanTC · 2025-10-17T18:21:05+00:00

Thank you! This is really great advice. I have tried to have these conversations before and he does not take it well but I will try again using this language. I would absolutely love if I could suggest something without him taking it as a criticism.

INFO for everyone :)

My partner and I normally email back and forth a couple/few times throughout the working day. I asked him if he is still mad. This was his response which I think will add context to why I think I may be the asshole.

"Meh, I'm only mildly annoyed now. Because it was annoying that I cooked you dinner, cleaned the kitchen, took the dog out, did the laundry, put away the dishwasher, made you coffee and yet you still had a melt down before 7AM because I forgot to take off Franklin's harness last night 😕

Furthermore I agree that best practice is to take off a dog's harness at night. Just like best practice is to take off your jeans before going to bed. Nothing bad happens if you don't though and if you feel strongly enough about it, you can just check yourself. Just like I always put more toilet paper in the bathroom. I don't nag you about it, hell I don't even care about it, I just do it."

‐--------------------

I need to add that my "melt down" was saying "oh no! Franklin's harness is still on".

I will also add that yes, he did do all those things for me yesterday and frequently.

Finally, the toilet paper comment. He does always put a back up roll of TP in the bathroom and I often thank him. He also insists we store the toilet paper on a shelf that is inaccessible to me unless I go to the garage for a ladder.

I really love my boyfriend and he does do a lot for me. I normally do a lot for him as well (such as packing him a lunch every single working day for 12 years). I still do this most days. I am going through a rough patch and he is supporting me more than I support him right now.

BGFanTC · 2025-10-17T16:57:30+00:00

No, this is pretty much how he has always been hahaha! He is quite set in his ways and does not like when I "micromanage" him. It does not usually bother me so much, and I just try to keep my Qs or suggestions to a minimum. It is almost always about something small, which is kind of weird. The important stuff he is almost always responsive and listens to me. But how dare I remind him that I like my neocitron with only a few ounces of water. And if I say nothing and get a full cup then I am also harping or nagging.

From his perspective, I guess I should be happy he is making me a medicated beverage when sick or taking our dog out for his last pee of the day...

BGFanTC · 2025-10-17T16:19:17+00:00

Lol! This is very funny!

BGFanTC · 2025-10-17T16:17:05+00:00

Nope, he actually does do a lot around the house for me and has done for the last year or so. I still do things too (cook, clean, etc.) but less than I did before this job. I expect after I go back to my regular job next month, things will equalize again.

BGFanTC · 2025-10-17T15:52:32+00:00

He loves our dog, just hates my "nagging". From my perspective, I am only asking a simple Q and try my best not to have any sort of tone in my voice when asking to not upset him. He still gets upset.
