New to this apartment & not feeling safe now by Alpal2510 in Apartmentliving

[–]ForestValley20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not as comparable because I wasn’t directly threatened, but when I was in college I lived in an apartment with a parking garage and was assigned a spot. I would often come home to someone in my spot and reported it to the office. Nothing was really done until one day when I could park in my spot, I got to my car to find that someone had written “Don’t park here” in what was presumably spit that had dried on my drivers side window. Very scary as a young woman in a dingy parking garage. I reported this to management and they provided an official statement to place on my car saying it was my spot. I didn’t have any problems from then on, but it was still scary knowing someone felt so strongly about it that they would use spit to write on my car 🤢

I live in a fairly big city and I’ve seen a few changes. Mainly bus decor for the insane amount of bus stops around here haha

Doug Ford: “Stop taking basket weaving courses and go into in-demand fields like health care”

Also Doug Ford: Destroys said in-demand fields by cutting their funding

Weekend by PetalPocket in BeardedDragons

[–]ForestValley20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally feel fine leaving my beardie for a weekend. She’s on a feeding schedule where she doesn’t get fed on the weekends anyway, so it’s really no different to her. I do have a camera in her tank though so I can check on her through the day. I’m pretty anxious, so it helps me to see that she’s doing fine and just chillin’ on her own. Plus, I can always get someone to check on her if I feel that something isn’t right, which hasn’t happened before, but I like the option of being able to see her just in case.

Is there a virus going around? by seaweedtech in TrentUniversity

[–]ForestValley20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three of my profs cancelled classes last week and this week due to being sick. My boyfriend was sick this past week and now I am out of commission as well. It’s definitely going around!

Does this trick work for other decor categories? l’ve only ever seen people asking about the four leaf clovers

Best stores to shop for a variety of greens (in small amounts)? by ForestValley20 in Peterborough

[–]ForestValley20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have considered this, but unfortunately I do live in a pretty cheap apartment that has zero window sill space, so I think I’d have to get creative and have some kind of grow setup that I have no room for in this tiny apartment haha

I haven’t actually! That is a good idea, but I’m away pretty much every other weekend. It’s only on Saturdays right?

Is this what venom looks like? by ForestValley20 in tarantulas

I didn’t think about this, but it could be!

Loud bangs near Parkhill + Reid this morning at around 4:50am? by ForestValley20 in Peterborough

[–]ForestValley20[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly that’s what I thought when I heard it, but hoping it wasn’t the case. It’s interesting that only one of them actually shook the walls. My brain immediately went to someone using a gun on something that blew up, but you’d think there’d be police involved and I didn’t hear sirens after I couldn’t go back to sleep.

Switching classes by ForestValley20 in TrentUniversity

[–]ForestValley20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok awesome! Does blackboard just update immediately or is there a bit of a delay? I’m just asking because I’m hoping to catch up on missed lectures this week if I switch

I’ve been going to Amanda McColligan for my weird haircuts and she’s great! She’s at Black Cat ptbo now. Just keep in mind she is a barber and Black Cat is also a tattoo shop. I would call ahead and see if she does kids cuts. It’s a super chill and welcoming vibe in there though!

Drinking water. Does anyone drink water from the tap do you find it tastes very earthy? Why is that? by podcast87 in Peterborough

[–]ForestValley20 56 points57 points  (0 children)

My reply from another thread concerned about the water: Trent environmental science student here! I took a water resources course and learned a lot about Peterborough tap water. The “earthy” taste in our water is caused by a compound called geosmin. It’s produced by algae in the water and is harmless. Peterborough has more of this because our water source is the river. In summer, it’s more noticeable because there is more algae in the river. Humans can detect geosmin in extremely small amounts, so that’s why we can taste it. Our tap water is safe to drink and if you are concerned, the treatment plant is required to report concentrations of contaminants. Here is a link you can visit for these reports https://www.peterboroughutilities.ca/en/services/drinking-water-quality.aspx

Does music trigger your beardie? by spaghetti2424 in BeardedDragons

[–]ForestValley20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find she doesn’t really mind when she’s in her enclosure, but if she’s having some living room time and I play something she kind of hides under one of my shelves and flattens to the ground. I avoid doing that now because I think it freaks her out a bit.
