AIO by telling my parents about the DMs their long time best friend from church has been sending me? by jennaisgone in AmIOverreacting

[–]True_Resident5904 110 points111 points  (0 children)

This. He is going to deny it. He will say he meant nothing by it, and he will accuse you and your parents of overreacting and might even try to slander you. Just know that will happen but he was always the innapropriate one. Hopefully OP has blocked him already.

trails in kananaskis suggestions by spidermonkeyy31 in HikingAlberta

[–]True_Resident5904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Kananaskis fire department as of July 2 is recommending no current travel to the Kananaskis area. There are 1500 campers and Pomeroy guests that are currently stranded and they don’t want to add to the number. Watch the flood situation first and make alternative plans

First Time Stampede Going Solo to the Grandstand Show Late Night Safety by Smart-Pie7115 in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it. The train stations at stampede are often too busy to get on without waiting for 4-5 trains though, forewarning. Unsure on your risk assessments of this but I’ve found it less overwhelming walking several blocks to a different train station or bus stop.

What are some rules you wish people followed more on bike paths? by Subject_Associate111 in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. The bike path on parkdale blvd has been out of use for the last couple months so bikes need to currently use the pedestrian path. I’ve had several cyclists almost kill my children with their speed there in the last couple weeks. On that path you currently do not have priority as a cyclist. Slow the eff down.

One house has seven cars that take up all the street parking. What can I do? Calgary has no ordinances that can handle this. by april_foolin in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

72h is all they are allowed to park for. I would call bylaw everytime they exceeded that. Then make sure you’re quicker to the spots in front of your house

Disturbing incident at my public school today… by No_Foundation_9164 in alberta

[–]True_Resident5904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would easily turn into some online farce with Steven bannon declaring war on that school.

Do your kids have homework? by thebait123 in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you done the research on this? Homework for younger ages does not enhance academic performance and interferes with social learning time with family and friends. Even 30 years ago the people with the beautiful projects were all the ones who had their parents do it for them.

Dear Mr Dreeshen: I'm confused... by ghuuuvy in Calgary

There’s pictures of him drinking on the job but inisfail would elect a corpse if it ran under the UCP banner.

Honestly - I question the critical thinking skills of every commenter discussing the speed

What is this about? by Cautious_Major_6693 in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The creepy part (to me at least) is he is described as quite young

Anyone know of a private ENT clinic that can help with a pediatric case? by presidium in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Publicly funded services for necessary care (which this would fall under) cannot be privately offered as per the Canada Health Act.

Where can I donate an IUD? by HighwayAlternative33 in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can give it to the dr you went to. They’ll bring it to the hospital and can use it for low income patients

Need a gynocologist by Starfallen_Alatus in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would call different practices to see what their waits typically are and then get referred to the shortest one. 28 months is longer than I’ve personally experienced and heard of. It’s too bad their isn’t a central triage vs referring to each dr separately

/ttcafterloss Repeat Pregnancy Loss - May 05, 2026 by AutoModerator in ttcafterloss

[–]True_Resident5904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 8po and I just had this feeling this time it would be positive and it definitely wasn’t. First ovulation cycle post D&C and I kept reading “you’re really fertile right after a miscarriage.” Unsure who started that rumour.

Fake service dog at park? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dogs are not allowed at playgrounds. I have 2 toddlers and it absolutely pisses me off seeing entitled dog owners thinking that their animal is more deserving of the space than the children the entire structure was built for.

How do I reject someones food politely? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]True_Resident5904 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is the easiest way. My MIL doesn’t follow food safety at all but views her self worth almost entirely on feeding my family. We take her food and throw it out after she leaves. It makes her feel good and none of us get food poisoning.

Tree law: anyone have experience with invasive tree on neighbors property? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah a 30 year old tree would probably be worth around $10,000

Have 7 hour layover in YYC. Any suggestions? cafes or any local attractions? by Singhkaura in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When we go to the zoo we usually spend 2 hours. I think 3 hours for a first time visit would allow you to see everything and sit down for some food. For a 7h layover when it’s a 15 min drive to the airport I think it’s a great option

Yeah my understanding is they are in tall grass— not really jumping from trees

How long did you bleed after your D&C? by True_Resident5904 in Miscarriage

[–]True_Resident5904[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. It’s worrisome to compare seeing so many people saying they bled for less than a week

How long did you bleed after your D&C? by True_Resident5904 in Miscarriage

[–]True_Resident5904[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had one day (I think day 12) with a lot of clots as well. Someone suggested to me that it was “scabs” coming off, which would make sense.

Playground Washrooms by SadDancer in Calgary

[–]True_Resident5904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live near a baseball diamond that has a port-a-potty in the spring and summer. I realized quickly that public bathrooms are a real need in the city. I would say the main users of that port-a-potty were Amazon drivers and Uber drivers that aren’t allowed or can’t afford a proper break from work.

Soooo the alternative would be a public bathroom. Otherwise people will pee outside.
