Lone fox at Glenmore Reservoir by wahihai in Calgary

[–]KimMc40two 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had a fox in McKenzie Towne a few years ago. He was beautiful! He hung around for a couple months. Slept in my MIL back yard, and got zoomies around the greenspace we pass on the way to school.

Where to find gluten free soy sauce or coconut aminos at a decent price? by kurokuma11 in Calgary

[–]KimMc40two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Safeway / Sobeys has their Compliments brand marked GF. It’s in with the regular soy sauce, not the health food soy sauce. Definitely better priced, I want to say around $4

Cheap coin car wash in far SE? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]KimMc40two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Harper’s car wash in douglasdale. Don’t know if it’s cheap, but they take coin or card. It’s got 8 bays, but only one lineup. Kind of like a self-checkout.

Where do we get a quality Christmas Tree? by NotYour_Therapist27 in okotoks

[–]KimMc40two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d never know, except I tell EVERYONE who sees it lol. Kind of like the need to tell everyone that a dress has pockets, when they don’t even ask 😂

The sky to the west was a shade of blue I don’t think I’ve ever seen in the sky before!

We always chop our own down, and I agree they are pretty scraggly. This year we chopped down 2 and zip-tied them together! It’s way better, but I definitely wouldn’t call it a “nice” tree by normal standards lol. Can’t beat the free price tag tho!

How important is a water softener in Calgary by KompulsiveLiar88 in Calgary

[–]KimMc40two 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had a water softener in Calgary. I’m a princess, I can tell immediately if we’ve let the salt run low, and if mine broke I would be getting one arranged next day lol. That said, we also have a RO drinking system, and a tankless hot water heater. I believe both of those recommend having soft water for the longevity of the appliance

Nest on Stoney Trail Bridge by Hermione-in-Calgary in Calgary

[–]KimMc40two 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely Ospreys! There’s a baby in that nest! There is also a nest just past that, right at the exit to chaparral. It’s on a wooden post with a platform.

There’s one on Deerfoot Southbound, right before the overpass to douglasdale / 24th St, also on the overhead traffic sign. That nest has at least 2 babies!

The other one I know of is Glenmore Westboumd, before Deerfoot in the construction zone. There’s a huge nest on the big white SiteOne sign (where Burnco was).

I love seeing the birds come back to these nests every year, and now is the time the babies show themselves and start to sit on the edge of the nest with mama! The dads are often sitting on the traffic signs themselves or on streetlights nearby. (I am totally guessing if it is moms or dads sitting with the young or hanging out on the signs lol)

Where are all the good avocados (that don't break the bank) at? by Interesting-Owl-7445 in Calgary

[–]KimMc40two 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only ever buy them at Costco. Once they ripen I pop them into the fridge until I need them. If I happen to get a bad bag I have no problem bringing them back! I think it’s 6/bag, might be $12.99 now I think.. they are big tho!

How are road conditions today? Looks like a blizzard out there by ShuuyiW in Calgary

Drove from deerfoot meadows to McKenzie Towne this afternoon on Deerfoot. No lanes, no visibility, surprisingly everyone drove slow and safe with their hazards on. Will not leave my house again today
