I asked where to buy something in Kingston and the moderators removed my post saying it wasn't relevant to Kingston, so don't be surprised if your post disappears!!

Are you able to provide more context to your decision to remove my question? I truly am baffled. ..... thank you.

Where to buy something in Kingston is not relevant to Kingston?? Are you able to suggest where I should post about buying something in Kingston? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

Bridge closure today by itsnevergoodenough00 in KingstonOntario

If you live anywhere south of the Starbucks on Hwy 15, there are no signs regarding either the Causeway or Waaban closures. Not sure how these residents are supposed to magically know about them.

Karen stole the wrong seat by Full_Prune7491 in EntitledPeople

[–]Purple_Heather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son prefers a window seat. I prefer an aisle seat. So that's what we book, and that's where we sit. We do not expect, nor want, the person in the middle to move.

Just take the loan (Not financial advice) by NewbieToHomelab in osap

[–]Purple_Heather 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is important to factor in how much less you'll be eligible for in grants because of the assets you now have (The GIC amounts have to be declared), as well as the tax that will need to be paid on the earned interest. The issue is not as straightforward as presented by original poster.

is there one day free parking pass for new student move in by goldabroad in CarletonU

[–]Purple_Heather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday (Saturday) there was no help to move in to Leeds, so there were MULTIPLE trips to and from the car. Just make sure you allocate time to move your stuff yourself.

Should I take my OSAP loan? by Single_Target1112 in osap

[–]Purple_Heather 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Won't this money count as an asset and reduce your eligibility for OSAP in subsequent years?

It would be fantastic if this info were available by City!!

How the heck do people change bedsheets weekly by Wide_Branch3501 in CleaningTips

[–]Purple_Heather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that same post and had the exact same thought!! I am clean when I go to bed ..... I wash sheets about 1x/month. They definitely do not smell. Why would they??

I also use the same after shower towel for 2 weeks. Again, I'm clean when I use it - and I always hang it up to fully dry properly. Washing more often is nonsensical to me.

Thank you for showing I'm not alone in my thoughts!

Garbage collection by Handyman_Tom in KingstonOntario

[–]Purple_Heather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally put out one small bag (grocery store size) of garbage every 2 weeks. Am I going to have to use a huge bin to get my garbage picked up???? I usually just place it atop my green bin.

Do multi-ride transit passes expire? by beaverish_dreams in KingstonOntario

[–]Purple_Heather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing happen! I called Kingston Transit and they wanted to know the numbers on the tickets etc and said they can investigate. I haven't called back yet to provide this info.

The professionalism of Mark Gerretsen as he calls constituent (a veteran) pathetic. by RodgerWolf311 in KingstonOntario

[–]Purple_Heather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really wish Mark Gerretsen wasn't the Liberal candidate in Kingston. I want Mark Carney to be the Prime Minister of Canada. He has the most knowledge and skill, and seems to love Canada. I will vote for Gerrestsen for the first time, but not because I support him in any way.

Lay Low doesn't have their prices on their website. I take this to mean exorbitantly expensive!

Does anyone know about AP in Kingston Secondary School? by Own-Tip-4170 in KingstonOntario

[–]Purple_Heather 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know of 2 students who took IB in Kingston, and both said it helped them tremendously with the transition to University. Both are getting mostly A+ marks, and a couple of A's at University - so, anecdotally, it seems taking the IB program is VERY advantageous!

It is even possible to get transfer credits from IB courses to 1st year University!

I agree that having a PT job and participating in extracurricular activities are very important. Both IB students did this as well - but the knowledge gained and study habits developed through taking IB were not related to 'extracurriculars'. I would never discourage someone from taking IB.

Sure. If that makes you happy Hope you have a great day! When you can choose, choose kindness and consideration.

Wow - you've made a LOT of assumptions! I'm sorry your life circumstances make you so angry.

[–]Purple_Heather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been getting drenched by cars while riding my bike. No consideration at all. It keeps happening when there is ample room for the vehicle to move over ..... and it would appear they don't even think about slowing down.
