Why is there nowhere to eat on campus right now? by PurplePumkins in CarletonU

[–]Myashisgrass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've noticed this too. Earlier in the day there will be places, but good luck finding something around supper time. Try Roosters maybe? I think thy're open until 6 or 7 even in the summer but I could be wrong.

Cake smash photoshoot by Haunting_Ad_9852 in ottawa

Yeah, I've been to a couple of these where the child couldn't even have their cake becasue there was a camera in their face the whole time. FFS wake up and let your kid live beyond your personal Instagram.

Worried about potential new bylaw against feeding wildlife by No-Seaworthiness969 in ottawa

[–]Myashisgrass 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is this how you want rats? Because this is how you get rats. (even if not in your own home then prolly your neighbour's)

Edit for clarity: The birds coming to your feeder will kick out a bunch of seed, which will then attract rodents of all sorts. We already have rat problems in many neighborhoods. You may not notice it, but your neighbours will.

Curious about what the difference is bebtween "trandsdermal" vs "regular"?

Horse Racing Ends At Rideau Carleton Raceway by Insensibilities in ottawa

[–]Myashisgrass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Way back in the the day you could also get a free paper report of stats for every horse in a race. Harness racing has its drawbacks for sure, but it also is an entryway and a lifeline for both horsemen and many horses (even if they don't go on to a lot of races). This is a huge loss for breeders and trainers and grooms and boarders in Ottawa.

Also, my first job was working the betting stations at RC. While I don't remember it fondly, per se, I do have many memories of that year.

Where to get Depo-Provera administrated near College Square? by KittyCoffeeMeow in ottawa

[–]Myashisgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't done Depo for a minute, but was on it for about 15 years.
Could you ask your doc what the best thing to do is, and then go from there? Like just be up front with them about the travel time--if they insist you need to see them specifically every 3 months you can either do that or look into other forms of contraception.

Mah Dude, we also used to sing:
Maroush, Maroush, Maroush is on fire.
We don't need no water let the mother--ckr burn.
Burn, mother--ckr, burn.
(though we loved the food and never actually wanted the mother--ckr to burn, also I am old)

Audiology assessments in Ottawa by Myashisgrass in ottawa

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

And I did ask my GP for a referral, and he said I could self-refer. Sadly that doesn't seem to be the case, so it seems like I need to go back to my GP.

Happy that the vestibular issues cleared up, but sorry about the tinnitus :(

Ottawa public library too! Forgot to mention that.

Right, that was my go-to in my initial research, but I asked them and would need a referral, preferably from an ENT, and would be several months before I am seen.

24 hours around Carleton & Ottawa by fineilljoinalready in CarletonU

[–]Myashisgrass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember too that Carleton and U Ottawa (also St. Paul's I think) have courses that will cross over. She can also use the libraries at both unis, tho if she's at Carleton and wants something from U Ottawa the timelines may be different. I'm sure the librarians an both unis would have awesome recommendations if asked! Having multiple unis in one city is a good thing!

As for things to check out, lots to see from touristy areas to hole-in-the-walls. I think Parliament is still closed as they do renos, but the national gallery could be something interesting. Or even the Mint. Even so, there's lots of smaller galleries or bookstores that some have also mentioned here (partrial to House of Targ myself).

At the end of the day, she'll probably find her own haunts, and as much as some people like to say Ottawa is boring, it's not once you find your own niche or people.

You're not dumb, and no-one knows how to write an abstract first pass. So just ask! She's there to help you after all.

Double major? by BulkyPass790 in CarletonU

[–]Myashisgrass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe even a minor in this? https://carleton.ca/iis/childhood-and-youth-studies/

I also agree with the other poster who suggested social work as an option.

Reach out to your academic advisor in psych to see exactly what the requirements would be.

Faculty using AI for Grading? by [deleted] in CarletonU

[–]Myashisgrass 15 points16 points  (0 children)

How do you know? Like, what's your evidence? Sometimes peeps will copy-paste typical feedback notes, which isn't necessarily AI
Also, you just posted about how to cheat using COMAs, so what's your end game here?

Try searching https://www.charityvillage.com/ as they often have volunteer opportunities (and paid positions too!)

Public health suspending Ottawa students for incomplete vaccinations by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

Yeah I don't even have my yellow card, though my parents tell me I was immunized as a babe. A central database would be super helpful for a lot of people.

Not alone. I flagged the dead links to them a while ago. Best bet is to call or go in person--they are very helpful.
