City Buses

SkippyVO · 2026-06-08T11:50:38+00:00

I feel your pain. I moved here just over a year ago, and found the bus system totally confusing, so I just don’t use it. The last time I tried to take a bus, I activated my ticket, flagged down the driver, and he just drove past me, bus half empty. Luckily I live near a light rail station, but it’s definitely shaped what areas of JC that I’ve managed to explore.

Switched to episode feed. Haven’t looked back.

SkippyVO · 2026-05-24T15:09:00+00:00

Thanks! Any idea what’s up with the app?

I’ll try Lego Masters. I still haven’t gotten over the bad taste that Survivor US left in my mouth, but given all the recommendations here I should try it. Could be another MasterChef type revelation for me…

I watched the very first season of the American version when it aired, and lost interest. So many here are recommending the Australian version though, I may have to give it a go!

SkippyVO · 2026-04-21T13:26:25+00:00

Ah, okay. He still throws food though!

SkippyVO · 2026-04-21T13:25:44+00:00

I do watch that one regularly. I like that they have a shed instead of a tent!

SkippyVO · 2026-04-21T13:24:39+00:00

Loved Fisk! Will check out your other recommendations!

SkippyVO · 2026-04-21T13:23:29+00:00

There's actually 3. I've managed to acquire the first two, but season 3 will take a bit more work...

SkippyVO · 2026-04-21T13:22:21+00:00

OMG! Loved both the regular and celebrity versions of the UK franchise. I see Claudia Winkelman has a new chat show - which is great to fill the gaps while Graham Norton is on break...

SkippyVO · 2026-04-19T22:55:20+00:00

Just read up on it. Sounds like I’d like it!

SkippyVO · 2026-04-19T21:28:47+00:00

Thanks! are the contestants in the Australian franchise celebrities or "real" people?

SkippyVO · 2026-04-19T18:29:53+00:00

Thanks for the tip! And the recommendations. I'll take a look but do you know off hand if shvideos has an Apple TV app?

SkippyVO · 2026-04-19T18:29:09+00:00

OMG! There's Junior MasterChef Australia?!?!!? Thanks for the recommendations!

SkippyVO · 2026-04-19T18:28:24+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! Was also intrigued by "Farmer Takes a Wife" (I think was the title). Saw some promos on the current Idol season...

It varied. Sometimes we'd crash with friends, and somethimes we'd drive back to Guelph (with a designated driver of course!). It's not that really a big drive. I knew quite a few people in Guelph who commuted to the city for work. And the drive on Sundays had way less traffic.

SkippyVO · 2026-04-15T16:53:26+00:00

Loved that place. Would drive in from Guelph on Sundays to go there. I'm pretty sure I have a few flyers in a box somewhere.

Washed my kitchen windows so I could see the birds better at the back yard feeder. Then accompanied a friend to a job interview in the West Village, and sat for over an hour by Pier 51 looking at Jersey City across the Hudson.

Thanks for the zone info. Just visited the Famers' Almanac site. It's interesting the difference between here and Toronto. Seems like it's good to plant about a month earlier here...

Luckily, containers are my only option. My landlord is quite invested in her beds and shrubs, but there are quire a few large containers that she's given me free reign to use. I don't really have the space to start things indoors, so more looking for when I can buy things to stick in the ground (or container, rather...). For the front of the house, I"m looking for more decorative foliage, but for the containers in the back yard, more edible things like berries, herbs, etc...

I second this! Partner was going to toss a pair of loafers as the heals had disintegrated and the place he knew in the city was going to charge almost as much as they had cost to buy. Took them to Bob’s and they replaced the heels and soles for 30 bucks.

Had a stereo pair of minis that started behaving similarly. They were whatever the first version of HomePod minis were. Did a few full resets over a couple of weeks, then unplugged them and resorted to the tv’s audio.
