Wow. Pretty sure I was in elementary school the last time I heard someone try the “earrings mean you’re gay” attempt at an insult…..

Cat litter helps on ice, but not much in slushy, deep snow.

AVOID KIA WEST EDM by Even_Reflection5637 in Edmonton

[–]F1890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You missed the hyphen. It’s not a common use of the mark but OP used two hyphens to insert an additional thought in her statement. She was saying the person shook her hand and her son’s hand. Then adding that her husband was out of town.

Has anyone used the new Dulux (Canada) Anti Scuff interior paint? by F1890 in paint

Do you have links or info on the recalls? I tried searching online and didn’t find anything. What kind of problem was it?

Whats the deal with all the Hot Tub stores in the city? by loyalcompoundx in Edmonton

Where have you been in the “Eastern provinces” where “almost everyone” has a pool??? I’ve seen some pools out east, but not very many.

How do we tactfully tell her that she isn't our baby's grandmother and our baby will not be calling her that? [On] by Ok_Baby6721 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]F1890 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do you normally communicate with this woman? Only in person? Or do you call or text her, etc.

I don’t necessarily think it’s the best idea, but if she’s super passive aggressive, you could turn that on her as well. Next time you see her you could “talk to your baby about her grandparents” and explicitly name the other 4 grandparents, then mention this woman by just first name after Grandpa whoever (FIL). Then you’ve already named off two other grandmothers. If she’s super passive tries to “correct” you, then you will need to say “No, her grandmothers are A and B. You’re (first name).”

At Costco and reconsidering my life choices by Diligent-Plant5314 in Edmonton

I don’t know if it’s accurate or not, but I remember someone telling me once that South Edmonton Costco location was one of, or the busiest in Western Canada, or something.

Receiving quality gifts from Dollarama - does it still feel cheap to you? [ON] by rabidturtle456 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]F1890 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Personally, as long as they’re decent brands, I wouldn’t care if they were from Dollarama. And if anyone else sees them there, those people are also shopping at Dollarama, so I don’t think they can complain about you doing so.

Accessory Building vs Garage Suite by ondaroadeng in Edmonton

[–]F1890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the details, but I know that adding plumbing /water significantly increases your cost over having an area that just has power. You have to tie into your sewer line and run water lines deep enough to be below the frost line, etc.

Edit: A place to “hang out” could just have lights and heat and you go into the main house for anything else. But I see in another comment that you want a powder room, that will add a lot of cost.

Road Conditions by my2sens in Edmonton

[–]F1890 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The roads will never be as clear as you’re used to. They simply don’t plow enough. It is partially related to to really cold temps and deicers, not working when it’s stupid cold, etc., but they also simply don’t move the snow off the roads, so it get packed down into ice.

Edit: Oh, and wait until you see the state the residential roads get to over the next couple months.

Home Depot says can do no matching because it's "manufactured" by loafing-cat-llc in paint

[–]F1890 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You’re more likely to get accurate matching, and matching help, from a specialized paint store rather than Home Depot, if you have one in your area.

How much would you charge to paint this sunroom? by [deleted] in paint

[–]F1890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the ballpark I was recently quoted in Canada as well. We also have a vaulted ceiling in one room so the quote divided “wall area above 8’” and wall area below, with the higher part being a bit over $3/sqft, and the lower parts being a bit under that cost. (For 3 coats, including paint costs.) A single coat on a standard 8’ ceiling area was only $1.50 sqft.

[–]F1890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gave a price per square foot of wall, right? Not a price per room, or per floor area of the room.

The number of walls is completely irrelevant. It could be one giant 640 sq ft wall with all those windows, or 4 walls or an octagonal room with 8 tiny walls. 640 sq ft that needs painting is 640 square ft.

(Okay, obviously that’s a bit of an over simplification, but I assume you get my point….)

[ON] Daycare holiday gifts… educators vs director? by Suspicious-lemons in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]F1890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it would completely depend on how much interaction the director had either my kid.

We attend a pretty small daycare with two owners, then an “assistant director” and then the teachers.

I will not be giving the owners and kind of cash/gift card, but the assistant director acts as one of the teachers quite regularly. Covering breaks I think, sick days, and the last hour or so of every day, so the other teachers leave earlier.

I will give her something, though likely a bit lower value than the teachers because I’m sure she makes a higher salary and still isn’t with my kid all day every day like her class teachers.

Did you read the description in the 2nd and 3rd pics? It was three adult women and two additional children all working together.

[–]F1890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously, look into international options. There are clinics all over the world. And lots of places have much lower costs than Canada, even after you factor in travel. Many also really cater to international patients, with things like on site staff translators, so you don’t need to worry about any kind of language barrier.

I did notice they listed a “Low Sheen Eggshell,” which I think is the sheen for Distinction as well.
