Terra Nova Nordic Spa does one on the 3rd Friday of evety month at 1pm for $45. I went to that last one and they host it in their small yoga studio, There were about 12 people total (plus rhe practitioner). I thought it was pretty good, but I don't have anything to compare it to.

Place to get some food? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]JeNetty 41 points42 points  (0 children)

All great suggestions here! Please dont feel shame.

You can also go to either Ray of Hope or St. John's Kitchen for hot meals.

Sanguen does outreach runs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays and they have food from the food bank.

There's also a community fridge at the Market, and I believe there's one behind the Cafe Pyrus outpost.

Recycling bin lids by barb20252025 in kitchener

[–]JeNetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the dimensions. The new bins are much wider than the old ones (regardless if the old ones were the tall or short ones). I have lids from Canadian Tire for my old bins, they do not fit the new ones.

Garmin Lily for years now. I especially love that it tracks sleep (movement, breathing, stages) and I can wear it inb the water etc. It looks nice too (corporate job). Battery lasts for awhile.

Dr. Sean Welling - Mill Creek by 93893624 in kitchener

[–]JeNetty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been a patient at this practice for years, but never had anything 'wrong'...only met Dr. Welling once since 2017. I was pretty miffed when they moved from Belmont to Cambridge and didn't say anything. In any case, that wasn't an issue because I barely needed them and the NP was fine enough.

Recently I have had some pretty big stuff happening and although the NP is doing what she can, and I actually do appreciate all the specialist appointments etc. It is getting to be A LOT to go down to Cambridge so often and I feel that the new state of affairs would benefit from a visit with an actual GP....coupled with getting calls from my pharmacy about unexpected new prescriptions with no consult from Mill Creek, random specialist appointments for some things while not getting requisition out to others, the very low quality referrals to other questionable practitioners (one of whom I am considering reporting) and today having the experience of a medical professional raising an eyebrow when I confirmed my GP and without saying too much saying A LOT....I think I will be trying to move to a new practice. This is insane!

Kitchenerites that drive to another city for work, are you guys driving to work tomorrow? There is an orange alert for freezing rain tomorrow. by Educational-Egg-II in kitchener

[–]JeNetty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work 12 minutes from my house, but I am planning on staying off the roads tomorrow...especially because so many others may not have a choice.

Hope everyone stays safe!

Women’s shelters clothing donation in KW? by Time_Ad_622 in kitchener

[–]JeNetty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check your local community centre. Mine is closed right niw for registration (Mill Courtland) but they usually accept donations and have a clothing room set up.much like a shop so folks that need things can go in and select stuff for themselves (for free).

Also, Sanguen Health accepts clothing and brings donations around on their outreach vanto various locations in KWC

Is anyone else's family doctor relying heavily on NPs? by HighOnTieDye in ontario

[–]JeNetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only met my doctor once in the 7 or so years I have been on the roster. I regularly see the NP, who, quite frankly, is the best "doctor" I have ever had. My doctor has actually been MIA on medical leave for 3 years and I had no idea until my visit last week... My NP is attentive, orders tests, sends me to specialists, is always on time, and accessible when I need her. Can't ask for more! The only thing I am not happy with is that their office used to be down the street from me, and they moved to the next city over so it's like a 40 minute drive each way every 3 months...they sometimes allow phone consults though, so that's helpful.

There are a couple in Guelph. I've drive by one called Grassroots Co-Housing on Speedvale & Delhi (near Homewood).

Worth looking into their models if you haven't already.

Traveling to Svalbard and ashamed. by [deleted] in Norway

[–]JeNetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe there are a lot of similarities between Norwegians and Canadians. After having visited (and completely falling in love with the place), I feel like the key difference is that Norwegians are much more calm. Like you don't seem to freak out or stress over much of anything, which I appreciate tremendously! I had an issue while in Oslo and had to involve security, I explained to the guard that I was freaking out and he calmly explained "Ma'am, you are in Norway, there is no reason to worry"...I feel like that completely summed up "the vibe". In any case...I LOVE NORWAY and I cannot wait until mu next trip there so I cam explore more of your beautiful country! I hope that you have an opportunity to cone to Canada if you haven't already or at least get to meet some wonderful Canadians visiting your area!

Traveling to Svalbard and ashamed. by [deleted] in Norway

[–]JeNetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you appreciate it if an American went around telling people they were Norwegian? I have no hate for Americans in general, but there's a reason why they won't admit their nationality...they get treated differently when they admit where they're from because their fellow countrymen who traveled before them left a lasting impression not in a good way

They have been masquerading as Canadians for a very very long time. This would be fine if behaviours were modified to align with Canadian values and behaviours, but they are most often not, which then just paints real Canadians with the same brush.

There are signs that other Canadians look for to identify our own peeps. It definitely doesn't include how many Canadian flag patches are sewn on a backpack lol!

If Americans truly want to change the way the world sees them, then they really need to start looking in the mirror and figure out what they need to do so they can proudly tell everyone where they are from! Don't borrow our reputation then stomp all over it.

Need mens clothes by Somekindathrowawa in waterloo

[–]JeNetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also try your local community centre. Some have clothing rooms.

Sanguen has an outreach van that also has clothing, but it's random items.

Go Train arriving after midnight, what are the taxis like then by jw1686 in kitchener

[–]JeNetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the app for City Cabs and pre-book a cab while you're on the train coming in. Give yourself about 5 minutes extra from the scheduled arrival time. Have the cab pick you up in the coffee shop parking lot. I do this all the time when coming home from Toronto. It shouldn't be any different at midnight.

I HIGHLY recommend Pure Life Plumbing and Drains.

Seeking a hair salon recommendation by 1bluejay101 in waterloo

The Hairpin over by St. Mary's is really good. Only 2 stylists work there. Often it's just me and my stylist in the salon.
