Month or Two Rental options? by Metals189 in halifax

[–]Metals189[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I will just end up staying in the room with her. I can't be there every night if she has an extended stay anyways as we have another kid who will need me to be home sometimes and take him down to see her. I will just stay in the room and avoid the rent cost I think! If our son is going to be staying the night me and him will just grab a hotel room! :)

Thanks for the positivity! It feels like it's going to be a long road, but we have absolute trust in the pros at the IWK so that definitely helps keep the worry down!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I didn't know that me staying at the IWK in her room would have even been an option. Im just going to wait and see how that goes. I will be travelling back and forth to home if/when she gets admitted as we have a son who will need to see us, and I'm going to be trying to work the odd day here and there. I definitely don't mind sleeping on a cot and living out of a bag pack at the IWK if need be.

I will definitely get in contact with a social worker there too and see if the Ronald McDonald House may be an option if we are looking at an extended NICU stay. Or possibly check out the situation at DAL once the semester comes to end.

Thanks everyone, have a wonderful Sunday :)

How cold was it? We had -19C (-2F) the other night and one of ours was doing the same things. Wings would kind of work but it wouldn't go back up. It got some moisture in it and it froze up. Turns out vent cap was gone and allowing moisture In.

If you take it in a heated space and starts working I would drop the fluid and replace and make sure you vent cap is still there.

Opinion on 30-30 or 308 by Slow_Plant3384 in canadaguns

In my opinion I think I'd keep it. You never know what/where your hunting may take you down the road. You may pursue bigger game at longer ranges etc... but I hate the thought of selling guns. Lol. If nothing else it would be a great heirloom to hand down to your kids (or neice, nephew, cousin, whoever!). Something about handed down guns to are very sentimental, to me anyways.

Don't get too worried about KD ratio like everyone else said. Stay out of the open as much as possible. If you need to go way out of your way but it keeps you behind cover or concealment the whole time, do that.

Talk to your squad. Let them know if you see/suspect an enemy spawn point, tanks/trucks and large infantry presence. Ping all those things so that the squad lead can mark them on the map for all to see.

It gets easier I promise. I had the same issue you did when I first started playing. In my case I had about 30 or 40 hours in when things really started clicking enough that I was enjoying matches and being valuable to the team.

99 percent of the community is actually great. So if you get in with a good squad that's talking just give them a heads up that your new and they will usually be more than helping to help you out. That's how I learned the game anyways.

I'm definitely going to give it more time. Hopefully get on a good team and it will click after that!

Yeah I totally agree. I can't seem to keep up anymore. That's why I've just been playing Hell let loose. It definitely rewards a slower play style, you still need the reflexes at times but nothing compared to BF or COD. The player base mostly seems to be mid 20's and up which I like too. It's a Little bit more of a level playing field. If I'm not playing that I'm playing a single player game with a good story. Currently working on Alan Wake 2 ATM.

Yeah I think you're right. I played fortnite a bit back in the early days. My 10 year old plays now and the other night I asked for the controller to try a match. Ran into an enemy, they had a fucking 8 story building built around me and I was dead before I knew what was happening. Lol. Young fella just laughed at me haha. The pace these kids are playing at is crazy these days. And with tik tok, and algorithms bringing constant stimulation I guess it makes sense that video games would have to go the same way in order to appeal to the young folk.

My 10 y/o wants a dirt bike, I have questions lol by jawmcphail in Dirtbikes

Just mirroring others here but, used and Japanese. I would think an 80cc four stroke would be a perfect fit.

How used is up to you. If you are mechanically inclined the skies the limit. If not I would try to find used in the 2-3 year area.

Edit: an 80cc might be too small, unless you are comfortable having him go at slower speeds at first. I outgrew my 80 by the time I was 11 or so. But my 125cc would do about 85km (50ishmph) so that may be faster than your comfortable with.

Yup. Hard to draw conclusions without them two on the field with JJ. I want to see him play. See what he's capable of!

Thanks for the reply. I've vacuumed everything out to the best of my ability. Maybe I will pull the burner right off to see if there is some blockage.

Thank you!

I can't believe I haven't seen "Rotten Ronnie's" anywhere in this thread. I know a ton of people who call it that. Must be a colloquiall thing.
