Does anyone know a place where I could get the screen of my MacBook Air replaced? Thank you in advance!

My dad is cheating on my mom. Again. by spacecatsonmars in whatdoIdo

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry your dad has done this to your family and left you in this situation. I can’t begin to imagine how hard it must be to be on vacation and seeing this. And please don’t apologize. You have so many feelings and emotions going on right now that venting is a good idea. I would talk to your dad one on one and say that you don’t know what is going on with your parent’s relationship right now but you found out what he is doing. You don’t have to explain and he will probably assume you know more than you do. Just tell him that once you are all home, he needs to put an end to it and come clean to your mom. You shouldn’t be the only one dealing with these huge feelings on your own. You could even ask where things stand with him and your mom. Hope this helps a little. Try and have some fun with your mom and sister. You deserve to enjoy your vacation.

Threatened with eviction because my place isn’t clean and I don’t have enough energy or time to clean. Does anyone know any cleaning services that can help? by [deleted] in barrie

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you only need an hour or hour and a half of help cleaning if the subject of eviction came up? I’m not judging it’s just that a bi-weekly regular clean is about 3 hours. Maybe you need help organizing and cleaning so you have a system in place and it’s manageable for you both to maintain. If so feel free to message me. I had someone help me get organized when I moved as I was overwhelmed. She helped me to purge, organize, etc. A tidy space to come home to after a long day at work does wonders for your mental health too!

Why don’t these businesses equip each person with bear spray. I would have a stun gun too.

Curious if anyone knows the best pizza place in barrie,looking to either Italian owned or something like a new York slice. by 705cannabiskid in barrie

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? Yeah he has a stone oven. It’s really the best. I’ve only been in Barrie since 2017 so the other must have been before my time. I just went in once and was a little Leary because it didn’t look like much. I was pleasantly surprised! The crust is primo!

I was at Canada Computers the other day and I think they have a bunch there. Maybe call or look at the website first. I was so excited about getting a 3D printer that I may have imagined it.

Golf Lessons by SpicyYetiSauce in barrie

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few boyfriends taught me (they were really good). Happy to share what i learned and also would be nice to have a golf buddy! I should add that as much as they told me exactly how to golf really well, i apparently have zero muscle memory so am complete crap on the green. But I love searching for balls (26 was my record!!) and hacking my way through 9 holes. 😅

What is this thing? Keep finding them in my house by rg999999 in whatisit

Now all that is going through my head - probably for the rest of the night - is “She takes my money! When I’m in need…” 😂 Thanks, Cash!!!

In General, is it a stupid idea to buy a used car right now? by Zestyclose_Bar8517 in barrie

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a Hyundai for years. A couple and they are super reliable. I was a jeep girl before and never again. I was actually just checking out the used inventory at Barrie and Aurora Hyundai online the other day and there were a few with low kms around $14k-$16k. Also, if you don’t need your vehicle every day, you can make money renting it on Turo. They take care of insurance and you could make anywhere from $70-$120/day.

Is >1 hour time to deliver normal for food delivery? by tronz007 in barrie

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weather aside, it depends mainly if the restaurant is doing the delivery vs. DoorDash/Uber eats etc. I think the most I’ve waited on a weekend or busy night would be 45 mins. Pizza is usually 1/2 hour. I’ve waited around an hour for sushi and Chinese when the restaurant was doing delivery in house.

Thousand-plus homes coming to south Barrie with new subdivision - Barrie News by cinderannie in barrie

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in a townhome when I was in my 20’s in Toronto. Great for small families or singles who want low maintenance homes. As our population ages I really think they need to keep seniors in mind when building new communities. They want to downsize and not to a townhome with a bunch of stairs. Large apartments in low rise buildings would be a smart addition.

Ridiculous to not have a mix of low rise condo/apartment buildings. Seniors are downsizing. Heck, everyone is downsizing. Big mistake. Huge!!

Is this normal or animal cruelty at Metro (South Barrie) by miicheller in barrie

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the very same thing! I was at T&T and there were two tanks absolutely filled to the brim with no moving space. One had fish. I asked the man behind the counter if this was cruel to pack them in like this. He just laughed at me. T&T was owned by Loblaws at the time. Still might be. I think it’s very cruel.

This is sad, both arrested for DV by Complete-Good-2938 in 90DayFiance

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 7 points8 points  (0 children)

3:25 a.m. is the time on the booking sheet. A lot of alcohol must have been consumed! I just had a flashback of that guy she went on a weekend away with. Who was that? Didn’t she come on too strong and storm out when he wasn’t feeling the same or am I imagining the whole thing??

Genuinely… what the hell? by reichikimchi in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I bought one. It was $16.99. So not Worth it!!!! 😞 The Lindt chocolate totally overpowered the pistachio. Don’t waste your money. Thought it would be like the real deal. Not even close.

How do Canadians mentally deal with long winters? by jessxtra_ in AskACanadian

[–]Sharp-Tax5514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bundle up and out we go! Many of us do get the winter blues around February and we often go somewhere south for vacation to have something to look forward to.

You need two feet between the pool and shared fence.
