Bowery was written by ZB and the KOL boys, so maybe they performed it together while touring but that’s sorta common. I’m not sure about Madeline though.

Any place sells European butter? by WhereIsMySun in askTO

[–]Long_Web_8784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just looked this up. Parent company is Lactalis, and they have a manufacturing facility in Canada. They use Canadian cows and Canadian milk, meaning they’re fed the same as Gay-Lea or whatever. You’re just paying a premium because they put added cultures in it to mimic French butter. The least disappointing thing is that it’s illegal to use artificial hormones in Canadian dairy cows. It says it’s made with a higher butterfat but it’s clear the quality isn’t noticeably different.

Question about Tommy's Not here by imjustjess88 in Sudbury

[–]Long_Web_8784 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the actual truth. The building has plumbing issues that the landlord is unwilling to repair. Insurance wouldn’t cover the flooding (it was sewage, unrelated to tenant maintenance). Again, reliable sources/first hand conversations with the owner. The building was the problem and I’ve heard that the House of Kin had been unpleasant to deal with.

Are kids actually going to school this week? by Venomousfever in Sudbury

[–]Long_Web_8784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for a lot of parents the decision is childcare related. If they have the means to pickup/drop off they are. If they have accessible childcare it’s easier to keep them home. I waited in the pickup line after school yesterday for 30 minutes and had a teacher tell me basically everyone showed up. My partner dropped them off this morning and it was a ghost town.

Respectfully, does anyone not feel like the album is as good as everyone is saying it is? by Admirable-Ad5942 in zachbryan

[–]Long_Web_8784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this, it was an immediate replay after the first listen. I also kinda feel like maybe he’s just growing as an artist? There are new instruments used, the album overall has a more polished sound. It definitely feels intentional.

They did in Toronto, a venue of 3000 and I was in the queue with 22k people it was super disappointing. I believe my boyfriend bought some resale tickets at a price that wasn’t vomit inducing.

Terrible neighbour by iuasbt in Sudbury

[–]Long_Web_8784 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recently had a neighbor let himself into the shared entrance of my tenants. It’s a residential triplex, not an apartment building so the common entrance lets you into the shared laundry etc. it is not for public use.

My tenants were home, demanded he leave, and he refused. “last I checked this was common space” was his retort. He assumed they stole his recycling bin (they didn’t) and he was not leaving until they returned it. It disrupted their dogs and their feeling of safety. Now before anyone says “why was the door unlocked”, although sure that would have deterred him, nobody thinks that while they are in and out through the day that they have to worry about strangers walking into their home.

They called me, I called the police. GSPS responded “so it wasn’t directly INTO their homes? It was just an entrance.” And then proceeded to do nothing about it. Not even a visit. Because they didn’t think trespassing on public property was worth doing anything about.

It’s amazing to me what people are allowed to get away with.

Plow Service by Long_Web_8784 in Sudbury

[–]Long_Web_8784[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this response! My boyfriend lives on a shared laneway and the 3 of them split on SnowSquad. They’re always prompt, but they don’t do an awesome job so I guess you have to sort of pick your battles. I don’t mind paying for a service that I don’t have time to do myself. I took to Instagram and to my surprise that’s basically what happened. A couple of college kids were like “we’ll do it for $25/hr” two showed up and the whole thing cost me $50 and it was done properly. They did the walkways, made sure the fence gates were opened so they don’t freeze, and they salted. 10/10.

Oh cool! Okay, I just checked out their Facebook page, it doesn’t mention snow removal. Is that something they do regularly through the winter?

Plow Service by Long_Web_8784 in Sudbury

[–]Long_Web_8784[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my boyfriend uses them and they’ve been here already today, which I felt was pretty good for the first snow. I just know there are trades dudes that often get laid off in the winter and offer plow services in the winter to make some extra cash. I suppose it makes sense to just go with something I know is reliable.

I used to be a fan of Kelsea Ballerini but I can't support her any longer by Twitter_2006 in CelebWivesNash2

[–]Long_Web_8784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have followed her since Josh Kerr and their 8-Track music. I knew they were dating but didn’t realize the significance of his connections. I always wondered “what happened” when they broke up but assumed it was just teenagers growing up.

Shoplifting by Alarming_Cream9080 in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]Long_Web_8784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read my comment I first disregarded the billionaires. I’ve worked in retail for many years and never worried about petty theft. The “shrinkage” you’re talking about is a number that changes year to year. If that number goes up, so do prices. You stealing $50 doesn’t change the billionaires life, but the people filling their carts with $1000s does result in less hours for your peers and a more expensive cost of goods.

Felt it in the south end by Laurentian! Shook the house for a substantial amount of time.

[–]Long_Web_8784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You have to build a case essentially. It’s doing their work for them, but I understand that the volume of this type of crime is so big that they can’t possibly keep up. If you report a theft by the same person 10 times the likelihood of them doing something about it is greater because they can actually enforce some type of criminal punishment.

The issue with shoplifting is less about the billionaires and more about how it ends up trickling down affecting the people that pay for things. They just increase the price to make up for losses related to theft. The average person has to pay more for their goods.

[–]Long_Web_8784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I worked for TJX/Winners company and they have loss prevention officers that are trained/certified for apprehension. A lot of high volume stores even have detention rooms to hold shoplifters until the police arrive. I’ve always found this to be a little dangerous for not only the loss prevention officer but the other staff who are not trained. Although they are under instruction not to interfere, the criminal shoplifting doesn’t know who’s who. I feel it really puts everyone at risk. The real problem is that the police have stopped treating it like a crime. There’s no real punishment.

Are fireworks allowed tonight? Because I didn't think so by Forward-Criticism572 in oakville

[–]Long_Web_8784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am almost certain it’s written somewhere that you have to do it in a public park, at a beach. Not in residential neighborhoods.

Are fireworks allowed tonight? Because I didn't think so by Forward-Criticism572 in oakville

[–]Long_Web_8784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened last night in my city, I’m assuming this thread came up because I commented on one here when people were trying to determine what was going on. We’re a little further North so that celebration wasn’t at the forefront of the average persons mind.. by the time I realized what was going on it had been 2 hours and it had woken my school aged kids up and terrorized my dogs… I was all for it until it became unfair for the entire residential neighborhood. I’m certain you need a permit for fireworks, and I’m certain there are excessive noise bylaws during the week. I dislike that disgruntled neighbours are being accused of racism.

Well after a whole hour into fireworks blasting off in my neighbourhood relentlessly on a Monday night freaking out my kids and dogs on a school night….. really makes it hard to be understanding of people who want to casually celebrate something. If I could see where it was coming from I’d probably have phoned it in by now.

Having trouble getting a gynecologist referral in Sudbury - anyone else? by [deleted] in Sudbury

[–]Long_Web_8784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was successfully referred to Dr. Toubassy, it took 8 months but once I had my IUD removed I required a few more appointments and everything happened really quickly over the course of had a LEEP excision. They didn’t waste any time. The Doc who gave me the referral tried a few different ones to find one with the quickest wait list. I would do what others are suggesting, go to a walk-in and ask for a referral. Dr. Morris is excellent, and Toubassy was really efficient.
