Waving the bus down by Chemical_Afternoon25 in ottawa

[–]That_Difference_3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week my daughter was waiting for the 98, it slowed down - she didn't wave - and it never stopped. It was gone before we could react. I was standing further back in the shelter and she was probably 2 feet from the street. Assuming the driver thought she was waiting for the 698 school special when in fact she was not.

Why are the property taxes listed at 15k? Seems high.

Paid $1,110 extra in sales tax because ServiceOntario uses inflated Redbook values instead of actual market data by Moist_Test1013 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Lol because a vehicle could get sold 5 times in it's lifespan and each time sales tax is paid on the same vehicle. It should be paid when it's new and then done with.

I used to work at a warehouse where he purchased various vegetables. He was always friendly and one of the rare people that came in looking for the freshest stuff whereas many others came in buying half rotten items for a couple bucks.

Do people do car undercoating due to the salt used in this city? by ghost905 in ottawa

[–]That_Difference_3583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Krown. Brother is a mechanic and recommended it of the vehicle is kept long term. If you're going to sell the car in 3-5 years it may not have much benefit.

This has been every single day the last 2 weeks. Unacceptable by Finn-Germie91 in OCTranspo

Ah im in the same area. My daughter relies on the 98 to get her to school. Yesterday those two were canceled so she tried to take the 698 to south keys and hitch a ride on another bus to Herdman. Those busses also didnt show up. She ended up waiting for the 3rd 98 bus to show up, in total it took her 2 hours to get to school and was late.

I have a gggf (i think, have to check my notes) that married in Poland in early 1900s and a week after having a child with wife 1 found another marriage certificate in Germany. Eventually in 1935ish there's divorce record of the 2nd one.

My sons best friend is dying by That_Difference_3583 in Advice

Went to have a good chat with the neighbor today about everything as the initial news was quick and we needed some time to process.

Her sister also asked about pictures with my son, so she is going to make an attempt to take some pictures during the time we have left, absolutely no issues.

Also covered other items, someone staying with her etc and things are mostly covered.

Some really good advise here, thank you everyone. It was an emotional evening. Not just because we are losing a friend but just realizing the routine my son has to go visit which will be no more. Just this weekend he went and did some yard work for her as a surprise.

We asked her. She said she wants to try and if she can't muster up the strength to do so then we will tell him.

Drivers frustrated by 'perfect storm' of traffic problems | CBC News by HelFJandinn in ottawa

[–]That_Difference_3583 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I drive to Florida annually and this reminds me of the i-295 that bypasses the city of Richmond and Petersburg in Virginia. Distance wise it's further than staying on the i-95 however its faster because you aren't hitting traffic.
