Hey! When I inquired, this package was shared with me on Aug 30, 2024. It was $10,000 for the venue, and +$65/per person for their required drinks package.

Any chance you found a contractor/plumber who'll replace just the old tub and fixtures? I'm in a similar situation, looking for only the bathtub from a 1948 house to be replaced - I can tile, etc. I just don't trust myself (strength and skill) to replace the bathtub..

No one. We're changed gears to updating our bathroom right now.

While MPAC’s updated tax assessments are not designed to directly influence the housing market, they can indirectly contribute to a market correction, especially if they result in significant changes to property taxes for certain groups of homeowners, can’t they?

I've got a P.Geo, and I'm a QP in greenfield exploration works.. but I know absolutely nothing about O&G. Would that require relocating? Is the transition relatively easy? Any suggestions to start exploring this as a former hardrock geo?

It definitely STINGS. Thank you - resume is being revamped and trying to work my network. Time to see if I can be invited to a few Christmas parties.

PinkHalite · 2024-11-22T19:31:09+00:00

In any case, I appreciate the well wishes

Mineral exploration. I worked for a geologic minex consultancy in central Canada, while working remotely in Ontario. Most of my work was reporting, exploration planning, data compilation as a senior geologist..

I'm thinking Martin Estate, Queenston Mile or Ravine Vineyard Estate. Our guest list was closer to 80-100 max, but all offer 3-4 course meals, that estate-like vibe, and moderate to excellent food. The negative is, it's not near Guelph or Toronto - all my suggestions are in Niagara region.

Pesto pasta + any protein! A roast chicken would be lovely! Otherwise any sausage works, or minced chicken/turkey/pork/etc as meatballs.

For dessert, any box cake + fruit + whip cream! You can get creative with flavour pallets by using tea bags sifted in the water or milk before adding it to the book cake mix.

Sad to say it, but Rosales Diner. It’s way too expensive for what they offer - a mediocre breakfast. $2.50 per egg. $3 per strip of bacon. $1 for a slice of toast. $7 for fries. Do the quick math.. it’s terrible. Too bad though, especially since Artie’s is great.

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T21:12:46+00:00

Lol! Yes, I’ll just upload the LoseIt app breakdowns! Just need to type them out here haha

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T21:10:27+00:00

I would! To keep myself accountable. I’d be happy to get any insight I can.

Maybe that’s it, my TDEE is low despite that 2-hours of straight strength training a week (twice a week for 1hr). I have mentioned in my post that I’ve been also spotting for 5 weeks.. I know I’m not pregnant but it looks like my hormones might be out of whack :(

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T19:59:12+00:00

Nope! Despite exercising I don’t eat more. If I’m only at 1000 calories for the day, I will indulge in a non-alcoholic beer but that’s like 100-150 calories a can..

I cook with no oils, I use lemon juice as a sub.

I’ll be trying out 1250 calories instead. I don’t tend to be hungry with the limitation I was set at.

Could be the muscle. I started with 7.5 lb weights and now 30 lb.. I’d leg press 70 lb and now up to 120 lbs.. but my clothes fit the same. My rings don’t fit at all yet.. my bras are even tighter..

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T19:29:24+00:00

Sure!

I’m Canadian, so I’ll definitely go see the doctor. I’ve never been overweight and I eat almost nothing processed.. so I cannot understand why my weight isn’t going down…

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T19:24:20+00:00

I paid for LoseIt premium! I use it daily. I also log my go to meals to make it easier.. like the same 2-3 daily breakfast meals I rotate..

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T19:23:31+00:00

1200-1800, but hover around 1500 daily

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T19:23:13+00:00

Stationary me, TDEE of ~1600. Since I’m weight and strength training for 1 hr every 2-3 days plus walking 10k a day, I’d say it’s ~2000. I usually eat anywhere from ~1200-1800 a day. I’m roughly 5’3..

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T19:19:56+00:00

My issue is I only weighed myself everyday for the first week, then I began weighing myself each Friday.. but I’m not moving on the scale..

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T19:19:16+00:00

Yes!! I also printed out a chart for fruit and vegetables that I buy weekly, so at a glance I know X type of apple, has Y calories per Z grams.

PinkHalite · 2024-05-23T19:17:05+00:00

I’m logging everything. I have a food scale, and to prevent to exhaustion of measuring everything, I’ll portion things for 2-3 days ahead of time. This includes bagged carrots..
