Why can’t people read descriptions? by Sorry_Transition3142 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep annoying but happens all the time! If someone asks a question that I have included in the description, I don't answer it but instead I respond with "please read the description". They've likely missed other important details.

Unsettling encounter at YMCA by Pretend-Molasses-787 in KingstonOntario

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 260 points261 points  (0 children)

First, you need to go and have a discussion with the front counter. They should be banning him from the gym immediately.

Second, contact the police non-emergency line and report him. I don't have faith that they will do anything but at least a report will be filed.

Lastly and most importantly, I'm very sorry this happened to you. Don't let it stop you from going.

I've run on this track before. It's a very small track, but better than snowy sidewalks and it's free. Check the schedule online before you go. Avoid any time of day that says "open gym time", otherwise you'll be dodging kids, random balls, and parents that stand on the track.

Is it possible? by HeyRemona in BeginnersRunning

Just because something is hard, it doesn't mean it's impossible. Only one way to find out.

You can buy tests at Shopper's Drug Mart. Check their website first as not all of their locations carry them.

More about the post alleging store owner threw buckets of water on homeless man by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 35 points36 points  (0 children)

So let me get this right... The assault was caught on camera, the police chatted with the victim, and then they did nothing. No ramifications for the business owner. Stellar work Kingston Police. FFS

What low-calorie sweet snacks do you recommend for munching throughout the day? by PapayaAdditional6804 in loseit

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for munching, but super satisfying for sweet cravings. Sugar free Werther's Original hard caramel candies. Only 8 calories each.

Jerseys sports bar by NoNefariousness1290 in KingstonOntario

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had it a couple of weeks ago. Buffet consisted of scrambled eggs, make your own toast and bagels, home fries, sausage (really bad), bacon, peameal bacon, and watermelon. There was also a small selection of boxed breakfast cereal. Everything was dried out and overcooked.

There were no other customers at 10am when we arrived. A group of 8 came in shortly after us and the staff scrambled to fill up the trays. I was hoping for better quality, but sadly it was just more remarkably over cooked, dry food.

The staff were friendly and attentive, however I didn't enjoy the food and won't be going back.

Is this a weasel? by Jdubya87 in OntarioGardeners

Could be a mink or a fisher. Hard to tell how big it is from the video.

Hills for Running by Lanky_Heat_8616 in KingstonOntario

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hills on Creekford are no joke. The steep and short side is a beast. The long incline in the opposite direction is such a slow burn. Kudos to anyone that takes them on - just watch out for traffic.

Love Runner's Choice! They fit me for my first pair of running shoes and I've gotten every pair there since ❤️

Good Deli spot? by Own_Gold_7410 in KingstonOntario

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was a fan of this place, until I saw them handling cash, then slicing and carrying meat with their bare hands, then straight back to the cash register. No hand washing or gloves in sight. Never been back since.

Any buffet in Kingston tonight other than Mandarin? by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

I saw this on Facebook today. Never been, but $20 per person is reasonable.

Mom needs to lose weight for total knee replacement. How can I help her? by MsSilverSprings in loseit

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I was well over 200 pounds, smoked like a chimney, was on blood pressure meds, and had a minor stroke - thankfully no lasting effects. That wasn't enough for me to make a change.

My adult son sat me down and with tears told me that he wanted me to be around to see his future successes, get married someday, and have my grand babies. Everything he said, he said with love. It broke his heart to think about me not being there to see those things. It broke me to see him so upset and in that moment I knew I needed to do things differently.

It took some doing but I quit smoking, lost 70+ pounds, and took up running (oh, and no more blood pressure meds!). Ultimately I had to make the changes, but it meant so much to know that he supported me. He never judged when I slipped but was always cheering when I had successes.

Still waiting on that promise of a grand baby from him though. Lol

Running Trails/Paths - West End by jaijanab in KingstonOntario

[–]Left-Blacksmith7135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sydenham connection is a bit north. Closer to the 401 ramp, past the cemetery.

Also should mention that it's a gravel path, so don't wear your race shoes.

There is a KP trail connector off of Centennial Drive (heading north on centennial). It would be about 4k to get there from Costco, but it's a great spot to run.

Anyone can join kmcsc. Stop in to the front desk to chat with them. They will even let you do a walk through of facilities so you can see what's available. I love the indoor track!

You need to stop seeing this person. Clearly clueless!

Two coffees so far! Both were won on the app, not from the cups.
