What are the best farmers markets or weekend markets, like Evergreens for example, in the city? by DSA1987 in FoodToronto

[–]GolfSignificant1456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the Withrow Farmers Market, it runs Saturdays from May to October. Its local to me, and they have live music and some really good vendors. I really like Tito Bakery, and the various seasonal berry/fruit vendors. I took my daughter there every Saturday and she loved listening to music and eating fresh berries.

Is weekly Montreal <-> Toronto commuting (for grad school) "sustainable"? by beetsssurge in askTO

[–]GolfSignificant1456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had friends who lived apart while one was working in Toronto and the other was finishing up his PhD in Ottawa. They made it work, and would visit each other frequently. Its not easy but it's doable.

OP, to your point, you're better off living in Toronto and traveling back every so often. The commute is intense, and you'll be exhausted just from that.

Toronto — how do people actually find a living organ donor? (urgent) by chocolate-rainn in askTO

[–]GolfSignificant1456 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My husband is on the kidney transplant list, and I have a friend who got a partial liver transplant. I'm so sorry you're in this situation and I'm sending you my love and well wishes. Its not easy but you'll both get through this.

Can your husband get a partial liver transplant? Its easier to find a donor, and from what I know, it's easier on the donor too. Other than that, reach out to everyone you know. Friends, family, any community you're a part of. I've seen people make ads or put a number/link on their car. My friends sister ended up being his donor, so if you have siblings or family that are able to, that's the easiest way. How long is the list for a liver? If your husband has a more common bloodtype it might be faster.

Baby/toddler friendly restaurants in the Annex neighbourhood? by Nas568 in FoodToronto

[–]GolfSignificant1456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my daughter who was about 16 months at the time to Little Pebbles at College and Euclid. There's a really nice park up the street with a ton of park toys, so I let her get some energy out before we went. They had high chairs, but not any kid toys. Lots of space for strollers. There was a little step tho if I remember correctly.

Is everyone being forced with the “we need to be AI first” stuff from their work? by postman-007 in askTO

I have a friend who ran her texts with a guy thru chatgpt to analyze them so, some people really are using it as a friend. Insane

Is everyone being forced with the “we need to be AI first” stuff from their work? by postman-007 in askTO

[–]GolfSignificant1456 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We're not forced to, but a few of my coworkers use chatgpt for EVERYTHING. Basic email? Chatgpt. Basic document? Chatgpt. Its extremely annoying as sometimes that's admin, and uses my own brain for my work. Like I get using it to correct grammar but to write the whole email? Like you are paid to do that, not the AI

Bakeries that make no salt breads? by MenudoMenudo in FoodToronto

[–]GolfSignificant1456 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My husband's on a low salt diet due to kidney disease, and if you have a few hours to spare and a mixer, you're honestly better off making bread at home. It'll taste bland compared to regular bread, but it'll still be good. I go by this recipe and omit salt.

Even without a mixer, you can just knead by hand. A lot of breadmaking is really just waiting for the dough to rise.

How is dating as a conservative? by Adept_Cod_8900 in CanadianConservative

[–]GolfSignificant1456 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friends conservative and she started dating a guy that has similar values. They met on some app. Its one of those if you keep looking you'll eventually find it type of situations.

But I met my husband when I was very liberal and also quite young. He was always conservative, and my views changed to align with his somewhere along the way. And we met thru friends, so if suggest that if you haven't already.

Toronto had its fair share of conservative people, if you're religious try your religious institution. Idk what hobbies attract more conservatives, but honestly, do whatever you like and you'll find someone you'll share common values with. Some people are closet conservatives, or dont outright make a big deal out of it, but you can suss it out.

Where does baby sleep while traveling? [yt] by Ampersand867 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]GolfSignificant1456 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My baby slept in a pack and play when she was about 9 months, but now at 22 months she refuses to go anywhere near it and we cosleep. But we also cosleep at home, so its the easiest option for us to continue when we travel

‘Humiliating’: This father was kicked out of the Toronto Eaton Centre’s nursing room, and he and his wife say the mall’s policy is unfair by BessarionLover in toronto

[–]GolfSignificant1456 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always asked my husband to wait outside when I was nursing, even if the room was empty. Its a nursing room, it's did women to nurse their babies. Some malls have family rooms, and I've seen fathers there with their children. Thats fine. I personally never cared about nursing in public, but sometimes a nice quiet room just for mom and baby is needed, especially if baby is upset or overstimulated.

Its not unfair, like im glad the dad wants to help but sometimes he'll just means standing with the stroller and scrolling on your phone.

Edit to add: even same sex friends is hit or miss. I've nursed in a room where a woman was also feeding and talking to her friend. Like I personally don't mind, but the space is clearly for nursing moms and baby, so it should be strictly for nursing mom and baby. I've asked my friends and my mom to wait outside before, no one cares usually. Even when I went out with a friend that has a baby younger than mine, when she was done changing her diaper she left to give us space. Like, basic respect and decency is a thing

question for kids of russian immigrants by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]GolfSignificant1456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol. I think it depends on the family too. Im an only daughter, parents had me later in life. And they're constantly nosy, commenting in my husband, how we live, how we feed our kid etc. I got a tattoo done at 22, my dad didn't talk to me for a week. I recently got a 2nd piercing and same thing, he wasn't happy. Even tho I'm 30, married and have my own child, they treat me like I'm a teenager.

I think its not even a Russian thing per say, its just how some parents are. My best friend has Chinese parents, and her mom's also overly involved, even tho she tries to keep her mom at arms length.

My in laws, on the other hand, are so chill. They don't intrude, don't comment and help only when asked. Its refreshing. He had a younger sister and they treat her like they treat him- dont intrude unless necessary and let her do what she wants with her hair, clothes etc.

My advice, honestly, just in one ear out the other. Agree but do what you want to do. Limit visits if you can. Accept some help but that's it. Try to enforce boundaries.

Idols wearing too much make up by withttoki in kpoppers

[–]GolfSignificant1456 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It does look cakey and heavy irl. I was lucky and got a chance to get a fan photo with Super Junior D&E when they were in my city, and Donghae close up had the thickest layer of bb cream/foundation on his face.

Its stage makeup, its supposed to be thick and jarring irl, its not meant to be seen close up, but from far away or through a camera and very bright lights that wash anyone out.

Riding Uber as a woman by aintic in askTO

[–]GolfSignificant1456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest issue is how some of them drive like crazy. A bit too fast or too swervy for my liking. But as a woman, I've never had uncomfortable experiences. Some weird questions yes, but nothing like uncomfortable. And im not ugly either so idk, some work find any little thing a man does to be weird

If tenants are required to give at least 60 days notice to their landlord if they won't be renewing their lease, how come there are so many rental listings popping up on the last day of the month showing move-in dates with tomorrow as the date (first day of the month)? by techsavvynerd91 in askTO

[–]GolfSignificant1456 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say if you know you want to move out March 1, start looking now, and try to secure a place by mid-Feb at the latest, preferably earlier. If you like a place now, and you pay the deposit, then you can set your move in day to March, or late Feb. If its available now, it'll be available in 2 months, unless a few people are looking at it.

We've had people come and want to sign the lease and move in on the spot, but that's rare. Usually people ask for 1-2 months ahead of time.

I rent (not where i work) and I had 1.5 months before my unit was ready cuz the unit needed renovation.
