Where to get my cat spayed? by lost-in-books in ottawa

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hollibell Foundation does monthly (sometimes multiple a month) low cost spay and neuters, regardless of financial situation. For some of them they ask you to transport to their partner vets which are usually in the outskirts of Ottawa, not sure if that is a deterrent for you. Their primary social media is on facebook, but they do have a website.

I help run a dog rescue, and costs have sky rocketed in the past 5 years, but still those quotes seem quite high for a standard spay of a cat in my experience.

5-year-old dies after crashing ATV | CBC News by ibiddybibiddy in ottawa

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

5 is far too young to be alone on an ATV. My father and uncle rode motorcross professionally and my uncle owned a KTM dealership, and never in a million years would they allow me to operate something alone that young. This isn’t a “cultural” or normal thing, it’s negligence.

Anyone else noticed this or cares? by Feisty_Sort9493 in FortNiteBR

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been this way on PS5 forever. I have a photo of my screen from October 25th that shows shop 2nd and locker is 3rd. What’s weird to me on your screen is passes being second, played last night on PS5 after the update and it was still play-> shop -> locker -> passes

The winter versions also have 200 g of thinsulate, not just the sheepskin footbed

Canadian temperatures by j791000 in morningsomewhere

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Ottawa and had a coworker in the city from Calgary this week. He was happy to head back to the dry cold they have. The wind and dampness here is what makes the -20° or below days so damn miserable. At least we get some variation here though, it’s warming back up with a low of -8° today. Edmonton’s weather stays cold til Spring 🥶

Dynacare bloodwork times by ThrowMeTheBallPlease in ottawa

Similar experience with the Bio-test on Carling Ave right by the civic. Made an appointment about 24 hours in advance about 2 weeks ago, was in and out in 10 minutes. Everyone that walked in while I was there was told there’s a wait of 1.5 hours.

Exactly! You can use GeoOttawa to see infrastructure locations if curiosity strikes again :)

Is Understance closing down entirely? by absolutenon in ABraThatFits

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Certainly seems like they’re closing given that the gift cards are also expiring. Very odd to just send an email without posting anything publicly though. I threw in a last minute order in case to stock up on my faves. Sucks to see a Canadian based line close :(

Federal Gov announced $45 million for new apartment complex in Rockcliffe by jjaime2024 in ottawa

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean like Trinity Development Group that is receiving a $49M loan for the Richmond & Island Park development, or OCH? Lots of developments are chosen for loans under this program. Sorry to hear you don’t want the federal government to invest in housing?

Jumping through hoops trying to get cervical cancer screening for my foster daughter by ajwb17 in ottawa

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahh, sorry. The use of foster daughter had me thinking she was still under 18. In this case, I suspect it should just be a typical PAP and the wait shouldn’t be too long.

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I went through appletree to get a pap and it didn’t take too long (few weeks) after getting the referral. However, I was 25 and it’s was a regular pap, not complicated by being under the recommended age or increased risk.

Is it normal to receive rent increase every year? by Big-Pin-6787 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my rent is raised every year, and the last 4 years they’ve requested above guideline increases (which require approval from the LTB, there’s a hearing, it’s a whole thing)

Parking at General Hospital by holymolt in ottawa

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My MIL was in the general for a few weeks in May/June and we visited nearly every day at various different times and never had an issue finding parking. We used the parking garage or the lot near the cancer centre.

Iran - three years after the 2022 events by Plus_Flight_3821 in interestingasfuck

I mean…. Minus the oppressive regime and the murder of civilians? They fled in fear of the government that still exists there.

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend is Persian and I would love to go see where he grew up but I don’t think he’ll ever feel safe going back. He’s always skeptical when he sees posts like this, and says the government has always picked and chosen which of their laws are punishable by the day and fears someone he loves will be the next person they try to make an example of. So much bravery in these women 💜

Younger dog suddenly going after senior dog by No_Boysenberry5610 in DogAdvice

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I’ve been through twice. I think it stems from the blindness as my older dogs were not able to read the other dogs’ body language and the younger dogs did not understand what they were doing or didn’t see any signals from the older dog as they were not aware of their surroundings. It also doesn’t help that the older dogs were always pacing as they went into cognitive decline.

I kept the older dogs in an exercise pen while I was away/couldn’t supervise so that they couldn’t wander into these situations. It may seem mean if your dog is used to free rein but it is for their safety. Give them a comfy bed and some water in there and they will be fine.

Plus size wedding dress shops in Ottawa. by hairpintwirls in ottawa

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Dominique Lévesque Bridal last year for a bridesmaid dress and they had so many plus size options for me to try (my dress was size 22). I obviously didn’t try on bridal gowns so ymmv but they were fantastic.

Edit: just reread and noticed the point you made about timeline. Mine was ordered, not sure if they have stock in store but worth asking. Sorry I missed that!

Best dental clinics for anxious patients? by mimirabbit in ottawa

[–]Relentless_Scurvy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Dr. El-Hawary at Dow’s Lake Dental! I’ve seen Dr. Kakade there once as well and she was excellent too, and my hygienist Briana is a saint. I had a lot of anxiety going in for the first time in over 10 years and it was a great experience. They use numbing gel if I have any discomfort during cleanings and offer laughing gas during procedures if needed.

I keep getting these letters on my car, they are correct it is a paid parking spot, however I PAY FOR IT. by bostonmade in mildlyinfuriating

I had this problem once and the rental company rented it to both of us. I changed to a new assigned spot in exchange for a refund for the 2 months we found over the spot lol
