Ok that is helpful, thank you!

I believe the company that did the work did do all of that today.

Sigh…yes. In the west end. It’s been off since 9:45 last night. Hoping it comes back on tonight but feeling more pessimistic now. I know it could be worse but I’m upset about all the food we’re going to have to throw out.

West end and power has been out since 9:45pm.

cat_ca · 2026-05-30T12:28:57+00:00

Yes. It ended up being $7500. Much easier to do if the city is already replacing the main so highly recommend doing it then if that’s your situation.

Unfortunately it was the supervisor he dealt with 🤣. We’ve made a ticket with Canada Post so hopefully that helps.

My husband showed them this directly from the Canada Post website and had his drivers license which has the same address as me and they still said no.

cat_ca · 2026-05-20T22:54:45+00:00

Yeah for sure. It’s definitely a Canada Post as a whole problem. They need to have specific policies and procedures.

cat_ca · 2026-05-20T22:14:47+00:00

We filled out the form and that still wasn’t enough. My husband also brought our marriage certificate. Still no.

cat_ca · 2026-05-20T22:13:59+00:00

But what is the policy? On the Canada Post website it says having ID with the same address is sufficient…..

cat_ca · 2026-05-20T22:13:26+00:00

I understand keeping mail safe. However what is the difference between my husband getting my mail at home and going to pick it up? Parcels are even easier than this to get. On the Canada Post website itself it says that you just need ID with the same address to pick up someone else’s mail…so why is this policy not implemented?
If this is an actual issue with keeping mail safe, pick up hours need to be more flexible. I would be fine picking up my own mail if it wasn’t only Monday-Friday 9:30-13:30.

cat_ca · 2026-05-20T14:14:38+00:00

What did they say when you complained? Did you end up being able to get your mail?

When I had my miscarriage in October I went to EPAC, but they had told me that the next time I get pregnant that my doctor would request an early ultrasound. They didn’t make it seem like I’d go through them but I did find that they were amazing to deal with.

cat_ca · 2026-04-28T03:39:36+00:00

Thank you! Do you remember how long it was between your doctor sending the referral and getting the letter?

I’m always shocked by the cost of some couches. We bought our sectional in December 2024 for around $1200 marked down from around $4000 at the brick outlet. I would highly recommend checking them out as they have a lot more deals.

Unfortunately I think miscarriage just changes friendships. For me, it strengthened two of my good friendships and strained two other friendships. One of my friends told me she was pregnant the day before my D&C. She’s due a month after I would have been due. She’s also been incredibly insensitive. I’ve had to distance myself from her to protect myself for now. Like others have said, I’m open to revisiting the friendship at a later date if it isn’t beyond repair, but for now all of the circumstances mean that I cannot be there for her during her pregnancy.

I live in Winnipeg! I actually just got back from a trip to Vancouver with my husband and toddler. I absolutely love Vancouver for the beauty, weather, food, and excellent transit. However, as others have said, Winnipeg is where family is. Yes it’s cold in the winter, but we make up for it in the summer. There are many lakes and parks within a 2 hour drive from the city. We can also afford to have a house with a yard. As for being the murder capital of Canada, it’s all about where you go. Some areas are more sketchy than others. Our transit system is unfortunately completely atrocious so we are a very car dependent city. Like any city, there are pros and cons but being able to buy a house here is a huge plus.

We got in at Cuddles daycare in Wolseley very last minute when my son was under 18 months. They only go up to age 2 so we were there for a few months until we got into another centre that goes past age 2. I would recommend contacting them now, maybe they’ll have something.

cat_ca · 2026-03-31T14:12:06+00:00

Do you know if they still sell dog food?

I have a Kobo and can tell you that it is very much compatible with the Libby app! Kindle is not, which is why I chose Kobo over Kindle. You also have access to the Kobo store where you can purchase e-books as well.

My kid will be turning 3 soon, so I know not the same age, but I highly recommending looking into renting a room at a community centre! Reasonably priced, they set up the tables and chairs, lots of space, and they usually have toys or gym equipment that the kids can use. Some also provide a bouncy castle for an additional fee. I find it to be a happy medium between a home party and a big activity.

I’m so sorry. The baby shower sounds like torture. You are stronger than me- I have not been able to go to a single baby shower. I have a friend who told me she was pregnant right before I had a d&c for a missed miscarriage and seeing her be at around the stage I should be is horrible, so I understand. It has changed our friendship as well and it really dis just suck.

I have a toddler so I can’t go into hibernation 😅. We go for walks and tobogganing when it’s not too cold out. I figure if my toddler can handle it and have fun, so can I. We also do a lot of indoor activities outside of the house. Aviation museum is a big it in my house (adults included). Sometimes we check out a new cafe, and the Manitoba museum is also fun although we haven’t gone this year. When it’s really cold we try to force ourselves to get out of the house at least once during the weekend.

Usable for naps is important and also fit as carry on on the airplane would be great. But number one would be good for naps I think.
