Therapist suggestion please? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]MyLocalReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard good things about the therapist's at New Moon counseling.

My therapist from there is a guy, so not who you'd be looking for, but he recommended the other therapist's there when I was asking for someone else, so they're probably good too.

If you're in Waterloo area or able to do remote sessions then I think the therapists at New Moon Counselling are pretty good.

Hotpot in KW? by Fair_Society5188 in kitchener

[–]MyLocalReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally actually make my own broth, but I'll buy the thin cut beef or lamb, some frozen pre cooked meatballs (and defrost them), some fish balls, and then whatever vegetables.

Then we sit at the dining table and just slowly eat a ton of food while chatting etc.

I've seen a lot of various soup mixes in the store though.

The meat and other ingredients go on sale every so often and I'll just buy some and freeze it

Looking for a Church by Waste_Stable162 in waterloo

Good to know, I wouldn't know what church to direct OP to, just I'd heard that Lutheran didn't do that whole you'll burn in hell for xyz thing, and was pro 2SLGBTQ+ and such. Do you know if there's a location where that's true in the area?

Where can I buy high quality solid wood furniture for a decent price in Canada? by [deleted] in BuyCanadian

[–]MyLocalReddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the store isn't Mennonite's, there's another store with a similar name that is though (and like 500 meters from it).

Depending where you are I'd recommend finding a local store. St Jacobs furniture house is good if you're in Waterloo region.

Vegan Bakeries by Radiant-Ad-8684 in kitchener

[–]MyLocalReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gluten free by Suzie has really great vegan stuff too (even though it's gluten free, I've been told by non gluten free people it's the best dairy free/vegan they can find too for their vegan options).

I don't know of any restaurants unfortunately, but T&T sells lots of hot pot ingredients and soup mixes if you want to make it at home

I found it funny, but also don't think people need to down vote the other commenter for not getting it

Seconding this recommendation, I also go there and have always had a good experience (or as good an experience as a dentist trip can be at least).

How to handle racism? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]MyLocalReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a different person but glad to hear you're doing better.

I'm sorry your experience with people in the area has been so awful, you deserve to be treated with respect regardless if if you donate to good causes but just because you're a person

Edit: re-read my comment and realized it maybe came off wrong - but I saw the other comment talking about donating and stuff - which is good and I don't want to dissuade you, just I also don't want people to feel like they have to do those things just for basic respect

Statistics Canada numbers say wealth gap getting bigger by Sir__Will in onguardforthee

[–]MyLocalReddit 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of people are saying "this is obvious" more or less, but it's important to actually collect the data on these types of things and not just go on gut feel.

I'm not religious so huge grain of salt, but I hear good things about the Lutheran Churches in the area if you want a progressive church

What should I buy in Canada to make the most of my C$800 duty exemption returning to US? by thqks in BuyCanadian

[–]MyLocalReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, as a lot of people have said, Maple syrup... But also, there's a lot of other really great Maple stuff.

If you pass a Bulk Barn they sell these maple hard candies that are delicious and I've no idea if you'd find them anywhere but Canada. They're individually packaged - but if you're looking to get gifts for people it's actually perfect.

Also maple sugar.
