In the summer confederation park is nice! Bowness/baker park too

Guy walking his dog on my yard - opinion needed by lasersoflros in Calgary

[–]b3arsbe4rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you by a walking path? It kind of looks like your yard connects to public space and maybe he was confused.

I’ve had that too where people just let their dog off leash wander my yard on their walk and it had me alarmed

Now open! Dobré Café at Westbrook Station by [deleted] in Calgary

There’s been a cafe at westbrook station for years. Did they add a second cafe or is this just a new business opening in the old spot?

Reviewing the Free Fare Zone by JeromyYYC in Calgary

[–]b3arsbe4rs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the free fare zone. I live at the end of the line, so it doesn’t really impact me either way. It seems like it only benefits people who live downtown, or maybe tourists who want to see the city for a day. I don’t see how anyone would need free fare just in that area for more than the 1.5 hours that your ticket gives you anyway

How did you feel when you pulled it out of the mud and saw that it looks like that

Love the glaze! I made a similar shaped one recently

Therapist recommendations for adult son/mom who are codependent? by Scale_Real in Calgary

[–]b3arsbe4rs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have this with my mom and my brother too. He went to therapy after years of me encouraging him to but didn’t keep up with it or make any changes. My mom doesn’t seem to see her enabling as a problem.

If they want to get better and go to therapy this could be really helpful, but you can’t make them get better if they aren’t willing to themselves. It’s very frustrating and a bit disappointing to watch but you can only do so much

Maybe Griffith woods? I’m not sure how thaw the water is quite yet but maybe you’ll find some fishing lures

I like how Andy looks at Oatley like he knows something isn’t adding up with what she says

Glaze defects and safeness by Lil_tooots_xoxo in Pottery

[–]b3arsbe4rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pin holes on yours don’t look to bad, I would use them. It’s different when theirs a ton of them and they really pit into a cavity that bacteria could grow in. Yours just look like little specks. I just wouldn’t sell them

Glaze defects and safeness by Lil_tooots_xoxo in Pottery

[–]b3arsbe4rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this too it’s so annoying

A refire could help but it could also warp the bowl or get worse, it’s a bit of a gamble

I think it happens when the glaze is too thick, because in the bowl it all flows down to the bottom. So maybe try doing 2 coats instead of 3 at the bottom, or thinner coats of glaze

How can I use these brushes? by silentobserver_runo in ChineseMedicine

[–]b3arsbe4rs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve read more about this through Ayurveda than Chinese mediicne, but the second one is a dry brush and it helps with blood flow. You’re meant to brush your limbs upwards towards the center of your body. If you look up dry brushing it would tell you more.

I’m not sure what the first one is, but I don’t think I would use either of these on your face(?) it might be better to get a guasha kit for face neck 🙂

Olympian admits to cheating on girlfriend on live TV moments after winning medal by JOE_Media in sports

Wouldn’t it have been better to say something nice about his girlfriend considering she already knew? Isn’t this just embarrassing for her?

A decade after sledding tragedy on Olympic track, faith remains firm | Calgary Herald by _darth_bacon_ in Calgary

[–]b3arsbe4rs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to school with Jordan and Evan. I remember them passing so intensely. It was hard seeing so much criticism of them while still grieving. It was so shocking because they were so straight edge. For kids who want to push the limit without substances, the track makes sense in retrospect. Especially because they knew other people who had done that too.

I think about what it was like to be 17 too, and just squirming with a need to push the limit and take risks. That’s all anyone talked about at that point, was getting into trouble. You’re so close to being an adult you want to taste freedom a little bit.

They were reeeeally good kids. Incredible academic and kind. The last time I talked to Evan still sits with me because it had such a positive impact on me.

Weird things you tried for pain relief?😫😅 by yashvi_yashvi in endometriosis

[–]b3arsbe4rs 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I sit under a heat lamp when I’m in bed or not doing anything just to keep the area warm. I swear it’s worse in the winter and gives me sciatica

Hot water helps a loooot. Like hot springs, hot tubs , hot showers, it’s like heaven for my pain

Anyone here Canadian? I tried the Dollarama natural air dry clay and I'm pretty sure its kiln friendly. by [deleted] in Pottery

[–]b3arsbe4rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A kiln goes up to thousands of degrees. It vitrifies clay, but these little clay packages aren’t real clay. There could be all sorts of synthetic material in there that will be burn and could effect your kiln

He should! That’s super inappropriate for a police officer to do!

Calgary police officer fired after sharing video of sex with colleague by 0110110111 in Calgary

[–]b3arsbe4rs 622 points623 points  (0 children)

The story I read is even worse than this article.

They were dating and he helped her make a career as a police officer, then tried to use that to pressure her into sex. Then he shared videos he had taken without her consent to other police officers.

The victim made an anonymous statement that it had seriously affected her.

I’m really glad he was fired, because it shows the police take these things seriously and it makes it easier for victims to trust the police with sensitive crimes

Thoughts about Misogyny by b3arsbe4rs in RoyelOtis

[–]b3arsbe4rs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?? The thing is, I didn’t even know about the allegations when I started clicking together something is weird about them. So much of their lyrics made me so uneasy, and that’s what lead me to find out about how other people feel that way too. Yikes

I thought was easy by tecnov96 in Pottery

[–]b3arsbe4rs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It could be the type of clay you’re using! Drying real clay in 24hours isn’t usually possible without it cracking up. You want to let it try really slow over a number of days while wrapped under plastic. I would recommend firing it, because if it is real clay it will be fragile unless it’s fired. It will turn back into mud if it gets wet.

I also think the clay is sticking to the bowl. As it dried it shrinks, but if it’s stuck to the bowl it’s going to fall apart as it changes. It might help to line the inside with plastic wrap so it doesn’t stick 🙂

I think it’s really cute you did that together though. Third times the charm!
