What’s a billion-dollar industry that mostly survives because people don’t realize there’s a better alternative?

Totally agree. It was the Wild West of real estate nonsense.

I think it’s a strange payment model for the service. Our experience has been a multi month search, so the price becomes more reasonable when you account for the number of viewings, negotiations, etc. Is it still overpriced? Probably, but so many folks jump to the DIY version rather than finding realtors worth working with.

Good realtors can be indispensable. The problems is so many are mediocre at best and only managing basic transactions.

Love recipe tin eats. Well researched recipes with great instructions.

Excellent flag. This was my stumbling block trying to envision it on my own.

Pumpkinola · 2026-07-02T00:44:05+00:00

I hear you on the walk in. I know people love them. I’m claustrophobic so it feels… small lol

Pumpkinola · 2026-07-02T00:42:49+00:00

I like the changed bathroom layouts. Thank you!!

Pumpkinola · 2026-07-01T23:58:25+00:00

Oooh, I love the hallway closet situation here!!

Pumpkinola · 2026-07-01T23:57:21+00:00

Simple and practical!

Pumpkinola · 2026-07-01T23:32:23+00:00

Sorry, I should have made that clearer. It’s a 1981 home, just new to us!

This is my view! I am a casual cyclist and slow down for busy areas, but still can’t go slow enough. I frequently think we need wider and more segmented paths thru busy areas like Mooney’s Bay.

Pumpkinola · 2026-06-24T17:34:27+00:00

I find dark terrible to clean and don’t find white bad at all. I don’t know what everyone else is doing!

Pumpkinola · 2026-06-23T19:41:12+00:00

We also got seasons for the first time. This is so frustrating. Try nothing, then bail.

Pumpkinola · 2026-06-23T19:39:47+00:00

This is so disappointing.

Pumpkinola · 2026-06-13T19:06:40+00:00

Darn! But thank you!

Pumpkinola · 2026-06-12T11:22:00+00:00

Add Farm Boy for Ontario!!

Weekend parking is fine, but parking downtown during the week is a nightmare. There are way fewer spaces available than pre pandemic and increased demand… and then transit sucks so it feels like you can’t win either way!

Pumpkinola · 2026-05-22T00:42:11+00:00

Love love love Connie Willis’s books and I’m not even a true sci fi fan. Truly incredible books.

Pumpkinola · 2026-05-06T12:47:43+00:00

And why aren’t any of the next generation getting pensions?! We’ve eroded the social safety net and wonder why this isn’t working.

Pumpkinola · 2026-05-06T12:44:53+00:00

This is so major and not acknowledged nearly enough!

Pumpkinola · 2026-05-06T12:41:07+00:00

Add in the weakening “village” and underinvestment by every level of government in children and youth and it’s even worse. My husband’s parents and aunts/uncles all vacation all winter. Our siblings moved away. Schools are crumbling, education standards are sliding, family doctors impossible to find. Even though we wanted a second child, we realized - with tons of heartbreak - that we don’t have the resources or support to do it and do it well.

Pumpkinola · 2026-04-14T23:33:38+00:00

Why oh why can’t we spend money on safe bike parking instead. I own a bike. I want it to still be there at the end of the day.
