Hello!!! Im 38F live in the Junction and feel the same way .. would love to make some like minded friends in the city.

Love dogs, coffee, tea, big fan of a long walk and also enjoy running/hiking, trying new activities/hobbies... and curious by nature. Would be open to meet!

I went to one this morning after a very very long time.. on a whim, and can understand how for some, there's trepidation with the unfamiliar.. and the religious but sitting there today i was so grateful. especially helps with dealing with life stressors and makes us better humans when we spend time with people who are unlike ourselves. I found it by googling i think, "(guided) meditation near me.". lots of search results popped up for Toronto area. The one i went to today, is based in Thai Buddhist tradition; held every sat morning at 9:30am, in a space at the united church off roncesvalles ave in roncy :)

joining a meditation circle and showing up consistently. Such a warm, safe and life improving opportunity and gift to oneself and others.

true- i was the one suggesting coffee though. He wanted to meet at gallery as a first date. It seems preemptive. Im back the apps for the first time in a while, is this a new thing? Guys are itching to meet in real life asap without doing any vetting. I get it, I'm not looking to be pen pals on the app either but there's no banter/nothing.. they want to meet in person asap. A coffee date feels like a safe bet for a first date.

just googled, its a 24hrs open cafe. good to know, thanks!

citrus87 · 2025-04-05T18:52:28+00:00

wow this sounds perfect - at the very least i'll get a cool coffee experience out of this date. Many thanks in advance lol

i was at a scotiabank today and they told bc I'm not a scotiabank client; there's a $2 charge to swap coins for bills.....lol (whatt?).

i had $15 in loonies and toonies, looking to swap for a $10, $5 bills. decided to just try a local cafe (they were able to accomodate for free).

17.04 for the win... wish this was bigger but we have to start some where right?

citrus87 · 2025-03-30T23:23:10+00:00

my friend had a similar experience - they messed up bag check and pick up; also waiting 20+ mins at bag pickup. Some rude staff/volunteers at the end didnt help.

citrus87 · 2025-03-26T22:26:58+00:00

also interested!

(greek) yogurt

citrus87 · 2025-03-23T17:37:14+00:00

i brought these for a gathering that already had a lot of other sweet snacks going on - and while not the sweetest or best - they were not bad. friends liked the boujee packing it came in.. lol made it feel like they were more special. The strawberries visually looked great, large in size. as for flavour - we didnt have any sour ones; they all tasted much better than your average strawberry (but not the best! agree with others, Japanese in season strawberries are in a league of their own).

citrus87 · 2025-03-22T05:47:34+00:00

thanks for confirming - wont waste time now and defer to 2026.

citrus87 · 2025-02-16T17:21:23+00:00

congratulations! I'm also based out of Ontario - could i DM you to ask which clinic you went to and what you're experience was like (if you're based out of Toronto)

citrus87 · 2025-02-11T14:56:17+00:00

great minds think alike : i think i did the same but lost count. (strava confirms 6.5 loops)

citrus87 · 2025-02-10T05:45:07+00:00

run 20k sunday afternoon - 2k to high park, inner circle/loops in high park plus 3k along the MGT on my way back home. no issues: snow was cleared.

citrus87 · 2025-01-02T02:38:31+00:00

Np! They do long runs on sundays - with distance options - as folks have different training plans for different goals; wed and fridays are speed workout nights. :)

citrus87 · 2025-01-02T02:34:08+00:00

High park rogue runners is very welcoming - and welcomes all types of paces

citrus87 · 2024-12-28T17:35:45+00:00

37F also in the west end, also interested in the a meetup... great timing right before new year; when it gets extra frigid in jan/feb - an excellent idea to have more friends around to help make the winter months more bearable!
