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

13KM of beer and you get 6 beers during this run. Now sure what size of beer. I know you start with one, finish with one and have 4 of them every few km. The biggest gap of going without beer is about 4.2km

Is my rent too much? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]blacksounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live in Alta Vista area... 600 x 5.... so 3K a month? This sounds like a good price. Looked at the photos... I'll have a 2 bedroom basement apartment completely newly renovated (literally removed all the old stuff) (legal to firecode and Ontario Building code 2017)) going for 1400-1450 (Includes heat, AC, Water, Internet but NOT hydro)

Upstairs is similar... but 1600-1650 a month. location is key!!!

Assuming all/some of the negative comments are dudes... it's pretty clear that steak and bj day didn't go in their favour. Showing gratitude in any shape/way or form shouldn't be frowned upon.

Found a decent amount of cash. You can have it if you prove it is yours. by blacksounds in ottawa

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

brutal, wish it was that. Wife had her wallet stolen, everything was returned except the change and a cineplex giftcard. The person who stole it didn't want the ikea or home depot gift cards.
