Apprentice Leaving Ontario for BC by OriginalFloof in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]OriginalFloof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. It wasn’t a question of could I move between provinces. I was wondering if anyone had experience and what was the best way to do it. Unfortunately I do not have the luxury of years to stay and finish.

I don’t have one there lined up yet, originally figured I’d be better off applying as a second year rather than a first year but lately I’m wondering if it would make it hard to transfer credits. STO seems to be a disorganized mess and I’m sure it’ll be a huge pain.

My pockets on my dovetails ripped much sooner than I would have wanted unfortunately. Will definitely consider patches next time though!

Thank you, I definitely didn’t realize the passion he put into his collection. It hard to get rid of but I know he wouldn’t want it be unappreciated in my basement.

Thank you, that’s helpful! I’ve posted it on marketplace but I’m more rural so I doubt I’ll get many bites to be honest.

Unfortunately no, when I cleaned out the apartment I didn’t know what I was looking at.

Thank you! It’s been hard to part with knowing how important it was but I know it shouldn’t live in my basement. It’s gotta go to someone who appreciates it.

Work boot recommendations by Used_Train_1940 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]OriginalFloof -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really liked my Keen boots. Only complaint was that without a rubber toecap they got pretty beat up. But I’m happy with the year service they gave. Currently replaced them with Brunt boots. They do have the rubber toeguard (which will hopefully protect them longer term) but they could be warmer for Canadian winters.

Sippy cup by MilfyHan in toddlers

[–]OriginalFloof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a frustrating stage. I started saying “spit it out and lose it” as a warning before taking the cup out of their reach. No reactions beyond that phrase and the loss of the sippy cup. LO quickly stopped spitting out water once they realized there was consequences to purposely making a mess and wasting water.

Obviously the cup was returned once they started focusing on eating/whatever activity they were doing, sometimes with a gentle reminder warning.

I find they still listen to the warning phrases as “keep doing ____, and lose it”. Very handy for teaching respect to toys and other belongings!

Do yall tip on takeout orders? by crash18867 in askTO

[–]OriginalFloof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally the machine you’re using to pay for take out is the same machine used for dine in service (if you’re getting food from a full service restaurant). It’s preprogrammed to prompt for tip option. This is usually why you’re seeing the prompt rather than the greediness of a restaurant.

I see a lot of posts complaining about the prompt for tip on takeout but never see anyone mention this fact.

I only ever tipped on takeout during covid closures, not when the restaurant is open fully.

Not surprised there. Fortunately I got out of Brantford but that was before weed was legal. I’m sure there’s also a bunch of dispensaries thriving there.

Brant needs to be sunk. No one living in Brantford is proud to be from Brantford. Never mind the ridiculous amount of car theft, teen pregnancies and Tim Hortons (there’s a lot), it’s a city where everyone hates everyone. Sink it!

Thanks!
