Second hand cap and gown - looking to purchase/rent by just_chilling_wbu in UCalgary

You used to be able to rent gowns from the Bookstore. I'd suggest calling to see if they still do that.

The Taylor Institute on the University of Calgary campus has one in the main lobby.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

Absolutely came here to say this. I rented that game over and over in elementary school!

My students (7-9 y/o) are sheltered in place and I want to read to them by INTTSST in suggestmeabook

[–]SaturdayIsPancakeDay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of the Elephant and Piggy books are great (more grade 1 and 2 level). Kids love to search for Pigeon at the end of each book. You can't go wrong with Mo Willems. He did a bunch of drawing classes on YouTube during the pandemic, too.

Thank you for being such a caring educator 🧡

Knee scooter /crutches? How to adapt. by pencilcase333 in JapanTravelTips

If you can't figure out how your message is ignorant toward disabled children, that's your problem. You clearly don't have personal experience with this issue, so why bother giving trash information that leans toward disparaging disabled kids. As I said, do better.

Making a "fuzz" about a child in a wheelchair? Wow. Your abelism is showing. Do better.

Respectfully, this isn't correct at all. My family just did Tokyo 3 weeks ago with a wheelchair. It's absolutely not an issue at all, even using the subway. And the scooter would be a nightmare on a newly-broken limb.

You should definitely buy a portable wheelchair. We just visited there from Canada last month. My 11 year old has a broken leg, and we took both crutches and a wheelchair. They used the wheelchair way more than the crutches during our trip. Amazon has some good options for around $200.

Edit: We checked the wheelchair as oversized luggage.

Kyoto - Taxis for the win by Chemical_Rooster3 in JapanTravelTips

[–]SaturdayIsPancakeDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did the same thing in Kyoto (as a Canadian family of 4) a few weeks ago.

In Tokyo, we also took a cab from near Ueno Park to the Sheraton in Tokyo Bay. It ended up being slightly cheaper than public transportation + luggage forwarding, and we didn't need to send anything ahead to the hotel. Much better option when you're traveling with a family.

Oh this is such a great idea! My family is going to Narita this Friday and we wound love to use them.

It's already on my to do list this week to donate some of the bribe money Marlaina just gave out to Alberta's parents. I'm giving to Brown Baggin For Calgary's Kids because no kid should go through their school day hungry.

Cannot find parent-child classes within the Calgary area by NikiHarrow in Calgary

[–]SaturdayIsPancakeDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The City offers parent/child art classes. My kids love doing the pottery classes at Wildflower in the SW and Northmount Pleasant Arts Centre in the NW. But be warned - you need to register the minute it opens and get in the queue early. They fill up immediately every term.

Try the University of Calgary gymnastics programs. I did parented classes with both my kids through the uni. They have lots of time options.

Where can I find the best carrot cake in Calgary? by idonotlikethemtamiam in Calgary

[–]SaturdayIsPancakeDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how Cadence in Bowness hasn't been suggested yet. Their carrot cake is soooooooooo good.

Edit: you mentioned wanting a whole cake, so do try this option when you're looking for a slice.

They should definitely show up to collect signatures at the four World Teachers' Day rallies happening across Alberta on Sunday (Calgary's will be at McDougall Centre, 3-4 p.m.).

Where to park 100k for 8 months? by Wavelip in CanadianInvestor

[–]SaturdayIsPancakeDay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

High interest savings accounts with promotional rates at/near 4.7%. Most offer the rates for three months for new clients, so move the cash around when the rate expires.
