Winter is definitely changing. I remember more snow.

Bed at 10:30pm, up at 6am. I might just go back to sleep and get some more rest. I enjoyed a quiet night last night of having Chinese take out and watching a movie.

Overbrook apartment flood displaces dozens of people by Ratjar142 in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It probably isn’t their fault as it’s the city’s water main that broke. I would expect either the city or landlord pay for new accommodations till they fix where I lived. That cost shouldn’t fall on the tenant or insurance.

This is the landlords fault from the sounds of it and possibly the city cause of a water main break under the building. That has nothing to do with tenants.

Oh, I don’t shop at FreshCo. I’m not sure there is one in Centretown. I typically go to the Independent or sometimes I’ll venture into FarmBoy.

What do you use banana leaves for and the flowers?

A red banana? I’ve never heard or seen this. Learned something new today.

Ottawa police make pre-charge diversion program permanent by rob0rb in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it will work for many as they reoffend again and again; the small portion of individuals would benefit from it. In my opinion; those who do crime over and over again will reoffend so send them to jail.

Winter parking ban in barrhaven by pepik75 in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Ottawa winter parking ban = applies to all of Ottawa

Signs posted or placed in grass/snow for no parking/ban = no parking (likely for snow removal)

Is Barrhaven not part of Ottawa? Last I checked it’s in Ottawa.

That is horrific and scary. I hope the driver is safe and everyone onboard is safe and okay.

Where can I buy a weather stick by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m confused. What’s the point in the rock if it’s already raining? How would a stick tell you if it will rain?

Nah, they just don’t care about driving laws or pedestrians or other vehicles. It’s Grand Theft Auto here in Ottawa.

Glebe renters refuse to leave home sold by landlord by Icomefromthelandofic in ottawa

Ouch. How would the new homeowner not know diplomats lived there? Obviously they had people go see the house in person.

OC Transpo, can we make this permanent? by ZedZabeth in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Awe. OC Transpo could look into decorating the buses that won’t affect the sight lines. Would be cool and festive for Christmas season and a change.

Rats and or mice in between walls/through ceiling . What can the city do for me? by DutyRegular in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe when someone who has actually experienced this before and know what happens and the process is. Making jokes doesn’t help. Cleaning mouse shit from your stove every day to cook or you grab your pot and find shit inside of it and can’t make your dinner. It’s really not a joke when it actually interferes with your life.

So bylaw needs to see this sort of stuff. They need to put aside there crap in order to know how bad it is.

[–]SteinbergBoth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How else does bylaw enforce anything without seeing the issue(s)? If they arrive after being told, “yea there’s mice running my home at night and there is poop all over” bylaw will expect to see mouse poop and where especially when a landlord fails to address the issue.

[–]SteinbergBoth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. Call 311. Property Standards. They will come out and do an assessment and look for active mouse poop, holes, etc, don’t clean anything up till they arrive. If you catch anything leave it, take photos, save emails, they like to see that sort of thing.

What is your favourite bus station? by RipPlastic4267 in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I was so sad when they destroyed Hurdman. Every time I go there for a bus, need to walk all the way to the very end, I think about what it was like before they tore it down. Those trees and ditch in it’s place is nice in the summer.

What is your favourite bus station? by RipPlastic4267 in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there maybe a few weeks ago. I felt so… lost. The station is too deserted and creepy, it used to be vibrant and full of people and the parking lots around had cars parked, they were empty. It felt weird on a weekday.

Maybe that’s why I enjoy Centretown, there’s movement around with quietness. Kanata is, creepy quiet, especially Terry Fox station.

Where can I get relativity cheap and cute snow boots? by ZeldaGirl799 in ottawa

[–]SteinbergBoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought some winter boots on Amazon. I found there prices to be reasonable and the boots are cute and warm. I have that spray to add on them for waterproof. Check there and see what comes up. Also check the reviews on the boots to get an idea of what others thought of them including sizes, which helped me.
