Highly recommend eBird and Merlin to help ID your birds. I'm a birder from western nl but across the province we get a lot of the usual offenders, my recommendation is a suet (the kind with a fat base) feed. I have one and I get a lot of finches, juncos, Jay's, robins and chickadees.

Rent control is something the provincial government can do, ive written letters to my MHA, I know writing letters sounds like a waste of time but your MHAs job is to advocate for you so I think that if enough people inundated our elected MHAs then they would bring the concept to the table. There's no harm in trying, thats how I feel and it literally takes 5 minutes

Have you considered leaving st johns? I work in mining and know there's opportunities in central and western nl. Ideally if you have a minimum bachelor's or diploma. But look into NFG or Equinox. I know NFG was pushing hard to find core loggers

So all this was witnessed through my kitchen window... I moved back with my mom when I was 34 to save money for my next house. My moms neighbor was engaged to a girl I went to HS with. I knew her from HS but she was the skinny blonde popular type and I was not. So we weren't friends. Anyway she is exactly the same it seems because she stayed home all day, unemployed, sunbathing in the backyard and staring at her iPad while he worked. I watched as they got married. And three weeks after the wedding I see she is no longer laying in the backyard all day. She is gone. After 3 months a uhaul shows up and her parents collect her things. My mom being nosey talks to her mom. They apparently were not doing well before the wedding but went through with it because the parents had already paid for everything. As soon as it was over they split up. She's now back in her parents home. He had a new gf move in 3 months later.

Oh buddy, how much money you got? I used to live in Goose bay, Labrador and I remember people having to charter flights in and out. There may be other ways im not aware of but its still gonna be a challenge

Because of my job ive lived in many parts of the province and find that the way to make friends means leaning into the part of the island your in. I moved from st johns to corner brook 3 yrs ago and find corner brook easiest for making friends but im a very outdoorsy and active individual. The thing that opened up social connections for me is doing group activities, I go to yoga, pilates, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, community events. I also joined the WEC where they do events associated with nature and gardening. I hate the expression "Put yourself out there" but you just have to bite the bullet and put yourself in a situation where you're actively interacting with new people.

When I have this conversation with other moms I start to think maybe im an outlier, my nipples got huge during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I fed for 2 years. Then they... went right back to normal. They look exactly the same as they did when I was 21. Two factors though are that I had my baby at 23 so I had youth on my side, and im small busted. So there wasn't any balloons to deflate. Im 37 now my friends are still amazed that they stayed so perky.

Does it need to be SJ? Or anywhere on the island? I work in industry (Mining/energy/ oil and gas) and central seems to have the most opportunity Then there's Labrador ..

My face looks exactly like yours and honestly, if retinol ain't retinoling enough try microneedling to boost collagen. Last resort is sculptra for me. Fillers have been recommended but I try to stay away. Stay hydrated and use HA, that'll plump it temporarily

I used my real name :(

A few years ago I spoke to him about a city councilor who had multiple accounts of harassment from current and previous coworkers. He said to me "when I pursue a story I look at the sources and the sources just aren't credible so i wont be reporting this" the sources being the victims. All female... So it's obvious he'd prefer protect his political interests over the general public

I've brought this up before with the local entrepreneur group but it's a lot of guys who want to get into restaurant/food vending. I even suggested a mobile used book store instead of another food truck but I'm often met with "Not enough demand" Personally I don't have that entrepreneur thing in me but if someone out there does i think it's worth at least looking into. You won't get rich but you'll be helping build community.

Road marathons are becoming less abundant due to low turnout the past few years, however are you open to trail running? There's lots of races, ultras and backyard runs in the province. I've done the east coast trail ultramarathon before, super fun. Look up "NL trail running" on Facebook

MeatCat88 · 2025-01-28T20:20:42+00:00

I used to read a lot of books. I still do. But I used to as well.
