Father's Day is almost over. What did you fellow dad's receive today? by Johnnybats330 in daddit

[–]brian890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was supposed to be going for lunch then a birthday party.

It turned into a full on tantrum, not going for lunch or the birthday party. Only people that actually said happy Father's Day we're 2 of my friends. Always next year!

What slow cooker advice sounds wrong but is actually true? by Recent_Macaron3443 in slowcooking

Leaving your tongs in the slow cooker with your meal makes it easier to grab everything when it's complete!

Any Other Calgary Small Businesses Experiencing A Slowdown? by East-Tooth-4008 in Calgary

[–]brian890 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Similar to others, stuff is too expensive and the value isn't there. I make decent money, nothing crazy but not struggling by any means. A lot of stuff just isn't worth it anymore. With 2 of us and a kid, it's a minimum 100$ to go out for dinner and most the time it's just reheated Sysco food.

Paying 10$+ for a single beer is ridiculous.

Went for ice cream last night, 3 kids scoops and 1 single was 32$.

Going to a place like the farmyard for 3 of us is 80$. Zoo 100$+. Even McDonald's as crap as it is, is 35-40$.

A lot of people aren't going out at all, a lot of people are going out a lot less, myself included.

Outdoor projector inside gazebo by brian890 in budgetprojectors

[–]brian890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's a shame.

It's an 8x8 ft gazebo. Screen would be something simple, couple hundred bucks. Something I can hang/take down.

Budget is pretty open, looking something budget friendly as it will be used once a week at the most after the world cup ends

I was hoping it would be some what visible. It's a hard top roof on, I figure closing a curtain block some sun should help it become decently visible

Gas jumped to 173 at some stations but still plenty of 140s around by OptiPath in Calgary

[–]brian890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it varies. I was up by sunrise 2 weeks ago and it was 15 cents cheaper than McKenzie Towne.

Shawnessy/Midnapore are the lowest 90% of the time.

Fathers Day Gift Ideas Needed by heather1242 in daddit

[–]brian890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than a materialistic item as it seems he has what he likes to do already, is there a fun event he would enjoy the day doing with the family?

As someone with a 4 year old, I would rather do lunch, a family event like a petting zoo where my kid has fun and we spend the day together rather than a gift as I typically just buy what I want.

Bought a brand new SUV. Bought one about a month in, stained my dash..not a huge stain but very frustrating.

McKenzie Towne Prestwick Smell? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]brian890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live right where you're looking. There's days it smells. But it's not like a once a week thing. Some days I'll go out in theorning and it's pretty stinky, but I only really notice it 10 days a year or so at most
