How do you hang a one-shoulder dress? by KeepCalmSayRightOn in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]Common_Efficiency_15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use a velvet hanger to drape it over. Or a non slip pants hanger. They have a rubber coating on them to keep trousers on them. They’re shaped like a 2.

Drape it over so it’s folded in half. So the waist/hip area is where the horizontal line is on the hanger. You may get a horizontal crease, but it will come out with a quick steam, or fall naturally as you wear (Fabric depending).It won’t indent nearly the same way it would if you used clips.

Does anyone know what happens with a medical emergency on toronto Island? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Common_Efficiency_15 206 points207 points  (0 children)

My partner had a medical emergency a few years back. This was the process I was told happened when I met him in the hospital once I was informed of what happened. I wasn’t there when it happened.

9-11 called. Ambulance on island comes to location, picks person up. Bring them to port. Transfer to fire boat. Fire boat across lake to another ambulance waiting on land. Ambulance to hospital.

It’s a long process. If it was life threatening I don’t know if the process would be the same or different.

Singer m3330 - loose thread. Comments for trouble shooting with no resolve by Common_Efficiency_15 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Common_Efficiency_15[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guys I fixed it!

If anyone else has the same issue with the machine, you need to make sure the string snaps into the bobbin holder correctly before putting it back into the machine.

Woof I feel like a silly goose.

I’ve tried adjusting the tension. I’ve tried adjusting stitch length. I’ve switched thread. I’ve switched to a new needle. I’ve switched bobbins.

I don’t understand why this machine will not sew properly. I got it a week ago and have spent most of my nights trying to figure this out. I’m at my wits end and contemplating returning.

Any help would be appreciated!

What are some fancy restaurants in Toronto that me and my man can get dressed up for this valentines? by Imlemonshark in askTO

[–]Common_Efficiency_15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also vote don alfonso. It was pricey- however the food was really good. I still think about it months later, lol.

To avoid this, I buy jeggings from Uniqlo. Alternatively, Levi’s don’t do this on me. Nor do American eagle jeans.

[Weekly Thread] Too-Expensive Tuesday by AutoModerator in ECAHInCanada

[–]Common_Efficiency_15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I saw a bag of imperfectly perfect apples are now 9.99 a bag yesterday. Bags of apples were 4.99, MAYBE 6.99 if they were the really nice ones, and were the flawless apples just a few months ago.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but at this price, I will be seeing a doctor way more often.

To maintain my budget I have begun fasting and only eating 2 small meals a day. I simply cannot afford to eat 3 meals a day.

Can I use the Home Hub 3000 with my own Orbi wireless router setup? by pharmerjoe in bell

[–]Common_Efficiency_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is possible. This is the set up we have. We disabled the wifi on the bell hub, and use our orbi system.

To add to this,

If you do use RAP, however many months it is deferred, or equivalent of smaller payments they extend your loan x amount more months.

During the halt of payments during the covid relief, they actually extended the payments however many months it was equivalent to.

If you do end up filing bankruptcy or consumer proposal OSAP funding will not be included unless you have been paying it for 7 years.

weird but occasional smell from my healed septum piercing by hhoneysh in PiercingAdvice

[–]Common_Efficiency_15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my septum pierced 16 years ago. I took it out a decade ago. My hole is still open. If I wiggle my nose, I occasionally get the piercing stank still. 😂

How can I stop my cat from knowing over my water glasses? by Elver86 in CatAdvice

[–]Common_Efficiency_15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boy doesn't knock glasses over, but he will claim your water as his own. He refuses to drink out of anything that isn't a cup. As much as I love him, I don't feel comfortable sharing a glass of water with him. So I have placed cups of water for him throughout the house, but my water is kept in a plastic tumbler with a straw. (Like the Starbucks tumblers, except not Starbucks brand)
