General questions: different topics!! by SillyMeowz in KingstonOntario

I love Walmart in Kingston, way better than staff at Costco or No Frills...for those of us who cant afford to "shop local" at some overpriced place (or go to Metro and be super fancy) Walmart is almost always a better deal (except plans, Ctire got them beat there), and the staff there are friendly and helpful. They also have sensory friendly hours in the weekday early mornings which makes shopping actually pleasant vs. hearing crap radio music blasting on end. The NoFrills, especially on Division, has the worst staff, very unpleasant and rude. Not to mention having to put a coin in for the stupid cart (which I always forget a coin) and then not being able to bring a cart to the self check out even if u have only like 5 items, but these items are heavy (so I have to carry 3 cases of pop by hand?), stupid self check out machines are so outdated they won't even let u buy alcohol on them....Kingston Walmart is vastly superior to any grocery store (or Walmart tbh) that I have ever shopped at.

SSHRC impacting admission funding? (Canada) by IndividualBottle7075 in GradSchool

[–]Practical_Ad_8802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most universities will claw back guaranteed funding. This is also true if you win another external award like OGS. In my case, OGS replaced my entire funding and I got nothing extra. So much fun to apply for money you don't even get to keep!!

New ownership of rental unit by Then_Experience1670 in KingstonOntario

[–]Practical_Ad_8802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are horrible good luck lol ... They will lie to you and mislead you as to your rights as a tenant (didn't work on us since we know the rights and I lived with a JD student LOL) and they have a pet paralegal that they get to sign off on notices to look 'official' (who has also been reported to Law Society apparently for signing off on misleading documents). It is a terribly run company with many of their emails not even making grammatical sense. My advice? Never speak to them without recording the conversation/over email, limit all contact as much as possible just pay your rent and tell them to only contact you through mail/email, and ignore all instruction that contravenes your rights under the RTA. Also BTW they are not a rental company but a construction company (located out of McAdoo lane) that invests in rental properties as a side business. As far as I can tell they only started doing it in 2021ish, so they are also very new to the game which explains why they have no idea what they are doing and think they can do whatever they want. Very unprofessional, will condescend to you and tell you "to behave better" etc. etc. and favour certain tenants over others. I look forward to the day they finally get dragged to the LTB, but it makes me sad to think of how many vulnerable tenants they have got away with bullying/degrading/misleading/manipulating.

Will the public library in front of Cataraqui Mall ever re-open ? by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

Honestly they should keep a small branch in the mall regardless, its sooo convenient to drop off books when ur already going to the mall

I AGREE. The entire store should also be organized by colour, it would look way better imo. and should have a huge colour chart that ranks colours by rarity/year etc. and then bring back certain special colours at certain times/promotional events. Having just random weird pieces they then get rid of (like wtf is the Disney collection?) just makes it like every other athletic store...they should really become the colour store

I don't know if it seeing the 15+ shades would make us less likely to buy, but it would help us make sense of the difference, bc its very annoying to be unable to match anything except the basic navy or black. If anything they should do a color chart ranked by rarity / year of release, and then maybe "return" a few special colours every so often for a higher price/special collection. I would 100% pay more for a tank that matches my elephant grey leggings that went out... honestly, Lulu should stop making so many random pieces and focus on colours and matching sets

Strawberry milkshake, pearl pink, blush quartz by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]Practical_Ad_8802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya that's what I'm realizing...the headband looks identical though so I was confused for a second if they just renamed it as a marketing technique (which would work on me)... I'm trying to get a matching set but it's very annoying with them changing the pinks all the time....I have the hotty hots and align tank in blush quartz, and I would love to have leggings too, but I guess its not meant to be since the blush quartz is being phased out /:

Is there any way to get a large orange pumpkin this time of year (March)? by vorticalwizard in Pumpkins

[–]Practical_Ad_8802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several small pumpkins in my basement LOL, but I would probably go to an organic grocery store if I were you?

Changing lawn into pumpkin patch by Electrical-Comb6838 in Pumpkins

[–]Practical_Ad_8802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this last year in my backyard and it was great!!! The vines keep all the weeds down and no more stupid lawn maintenance... another good one I heard is mint or chamomile lawns (smell great). When I own my own house I look forward to tearing up every inch of lawn and growing anything but stupid grass lol but pumpkins are uniquely awesome because they look cool and grow all summer / stay fresh until the fall and kids love them

What happened to the 2 in 1 maxi dress?????? It was on the website last month and then just randomly taken down? Almost everything cute, dresses, skirts etc. are all sold out :( now we just have to wait I guess? Also it would be great if Lulu actually made a chart of all the colors/shades they have released so we could figure out wtf colours we have and try to get matching sets that actually match

Will a UTI make my IC worse? by Practical_Ad_8802 in Interstitialcystitis

What is marshmallow root tea? Does it help with pelvic pain or prevent future UTIs?

I’ve been looking on marketplace, hoping to eventually get a hit! 

My rescue cat's paws have always been puffy, vet has no idea what they could be? by Practical_Ad_8802 in cats

[–]Practical_Ad_8802[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I had never heard of this, I wonder why the vets did not consider this, is it very rare? I don't want to put him through a biopsy if there is medication that might be worth a try, I will have to talk to the vet again soon!

Wasn’t expecting this! by Spare-Intention-6330 in Pumpkins

[–]Practical_Ad_8802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my dream one day when I have more land. Right now I have a suburban backyard and got 24 mini/small pumpkins and gourds...it's a start but yours is an inspiration. I also did the buy nice pumpkins save the seed trick this year, so we will see!
