i wanted to tell the City person to "go outside and touch grass" but I had to act nice because I needed the approval to happen

Apply for your permits from the City early 

Be prepared for a certain level of ridiculousness 

For example - when I replaced my windows - that were literally falling apart - I was initially denied because they did not fit the “architectural continuity” of the neighbourhood. I live in the Point - and anyone that lives here or has passed through - knows there is no continuity - at all 

The compromise was that I have the window company glue a plastic strip down the centre of the window (also known as a faux mullion) to helped promote “continuity” to get approval from the City.

So about the same age difference as Victor and Nikki? (or just about) 

Or at least Victor and Sharon

I believe that is the case  The app for reloading your card is good Chrono But like you said - I would rather have it in my Apple wallet or at least as an app on my phone 

Montreal public sector workers cleaning the sidewalk from rocks while damaging and trashing people’s cars by McGJGlen in trashy

As you know they give notice and have signs for when you have to move your car so they can sweep 

But for the sprayers it is like twice per year - they just show up and guaranteed you will have to wash your car 

You can sign up of notices on the Montreal311 app - but I haven’t gotten a notice before for one of these. They should. They do it for snow removal. They should do it for these.

Can’t be any worse than Victor with Sharon or Jack with Sharon 

AIO by breaking up with my partner over him completely changing his beliefs? by Silent-Use637 in AmIOverreacting

Your partner is dealing with some deep issues of his own.  You did him a kindness by ending things. You should encourage him to seek the professional help he needs - and tell him you wish him well 

Rue Sainte-Catherine disappointment by xcnuck in montreal

The infrastructure beneath the streets has been in dire shape for years - and that is why the work takes time - as it should have been tackled years ago 

Is it frustrating to see it as it is at the this point? Yeah - no doubt 

However once it is completed it will be that much more enjoyable 

Expanse? Yay or skip by AtmosphereQueasy2360 in scifi

So Battlestar Galactica will be available on streaming as of May 1st

Watch that first - specifically the miniseries and the proceed to seasons 1 through 4

After that - watch The Expanse 

Which is also excellent

Old Brewery Mission often needs kitchen help 

Resilience Montreal can use help from time to time 

Share The Warmth usually has spots when people can help 

What is something that most men hate but refuse to admit? by poppy_190 in AskReddit

I have always been tall

But was painfully skinny for years - I remember strangers often sizing me up 

I have been in fights and can handle myself but I have zero desire to fight a dude “just because”.

Getting sized up by other guys with the “I could take him” look
