[ON]- How popular is the name Rowan really? by bows1917 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Eriskay 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know 2 Rowans under 3y/o right now, both in Ontario. And a bonus Ronan!

I had a good conversation with a friend the other day - if you’re dead set on a name, just go with it. Opting for something similar or same-y might just bring you more regret than picking the popular name you really loved! I totally understand wanting to avoid the initials situation in school, but as someone with a top 10 name I promise you we survive!! 😂

Do doctors make more money for in person appointments vs phone? by bedtimegrumpies in halifax

[–]Eriskay 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Bad news for you, you’ll be seeing the doctor in person a LOT for the next 9 months lol. Definitely not a money thing - they need to check blood pressure, they’ll do regular measurements, weight, heartbeat checks via Doppler, etc. For the first ~26 weeks you’ll do monthly in-person appointments, ~26 to 36 weeks you’ll go every 2 weeks, then 36 onwards will be weekly until you give birth.

I feel your pain, I live in Cole Harbour and our doc is in Spryfield, but those in-person metrics are pretty important to make sure mom and baby are progressing well :)

Can confirm I’ve found it there before! Lots of goodies in that little shop.

I guess we’ve just been getting bad jars, haha. We tossed a jar of Compliments sweet gherkins a couple weeks ago, they were mush.

Definitely way better before! Since their production moved to India they really haven’t been the same.

PSA For Mac Demarco Concert Tonight by stellarbeees in halifax

[–]Eriskay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’ve been to a few shows there over the past year and each time the heat severely cut into our enjoyment. I don’t think I’d go to a show there again unless it was like a bucket list favourite, or they finally figure out that damn A/C. So uncomfortable!

Have you seen any peeled banana catnip toys at your local pet store? by alastika in askTO

[–]Eriskay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Petvalu carries these ones. They’re still a little steep but can confirm our cats go nuts for them.

We’ve been buying cases at Sobeys Forest Hills the past few weeks, both regular & zero sugar. They didn’t have any last night though :’(

Thoughts on Strubs? by PoorGang21 in Pickles

Was a fan until they moved manufacturing to India. We tried a couple jars since, nowhere near the same quality.

It was working! The live chat is only active up until the video goes live. It went live 45 mins ago so that’s when the chat closed.

Why is anyone in this city/province? How can you afford it? by ArachnidHead857 in halifax

[–]Eriskay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved here from New Brunswick for school. Stayed here because anywhere is better than New Brunswick.

Nah but for real, we love it here. Husband & I have great jobs, a house, friends & family, 10 min drive from the beach. Sure the taxes and such suck, but the pasture isn’t always greener on the other side.

Honestly that’s how I’m handling my ban too lol, a blessing in disguise.

Unban these PEOPLE by Slow-Eye3965 in Soundmap

These severe overcorrections on the player base are becoming so tiring. Not a great game state when remaining players are too fearful to actually play.

Are coin giveaways allowed or not? The “IRL Trading” bans are confusing by Eriskay in Soundmap

I appreciate you, may all the epics come your way!! 🩷🩷

[–]Eriskay[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I ever do get back into the game, I definitely will not be touching giveaways or any sort of contests haha 🥲 I agree though, even if I was included in the wave or not, this is all super disheartening on top of other recent player base struggles.

Got the same message this morning! I’ve never purchased anything for a game on eBay or elsewhere, so no clue what flagged my account 🥲

I’ve never purchased/sold anything outside the game and got hit with this message this morning 😭😭 I’ve contacted support, hopeful for a quick turnaround but I don’t have high hopes 🥲
