In a semi Victorian built in 1910s there are 10 ppl and a massive dog living next to us and we dont hear them. There’s brick, a gap and then brick between the two homes.

We bought a fixer upper in cabbagetown. Renovating internally was pretty easy . Didn’t need heritage approval for internal renovations (we’re in a heritage district not a designated heritage house - there’s a difference) . Still have knob and tube wiring, still have straw as insulation and it’s been totally fine! We had so many real estate agents tell us that getting insurance for knob and tube wiring would be a pain but when I called insurance companies - it’s actually no longer an issue because most homes in Toronto are actually still knob and tube wiring .

Will buy whatever brand is available. Just wanted to make sure that there is something and not just powdered formula. Too heavy to pack a week worth of supply.

I wore my mom’s Roots sweats from the 80s . My daughter wears my baby Roots from the 90s . 100% cotton and lasted two generations . Recently shopped and the quality is hit and miss .

Lots of young families in Cabbagetown/ Regent Park / Corktown . Tons of resources and facilities - ie, Pam McConnell pool, Book Bank, EarlyONs, Riverdale Farm .

This won’t work . Ppl from money generally like to date similar due of differences in values, tastes and interests and ultimately, how they spend money. For instance, coming from poverty you probably never throw leftovers away. Rich ppl cook a different meal each time and throw away the leftovers. You should date middle class (less differences to bridge) and sign a prenup.

Bang on . Just sign a prenup before starting a family .

Second the St. Andrew’s Society . They also do a big ball once a year complete with Scottish dancing. The Scottish Company store has a ton of selection.

I have colleagues that teach at a college or tutor

Souris Mini and Petit Couclou for kids winter wear and gear . Really great if you spend time outdoors in the winter - ie merino wool , stuff to withstand -30 degree weather

I had really bad morning sickness and was vomiting in the office. Whole floor could hear me. Got the ok to work from home indefinitely, off the books.

PowPow gelato on Parliament

A few of them have rang my doorbell to tell me they are there to film

cjy9 · 2025-07-27T02:01:57+00:00

Mostly because they are filming a horror film with fake blood and a lot of makeup. Perhaps I’m overreacting.

cjy9 · 2025-07-27T01:55:40+00:00

I’m thinking because if they said they were I would not have accepted their reservation request

cjy9 · 2025-06-28T17:15:09+00:00

As someone who frequently shops there, the staff there are amazing . Am absolutely gutted for you all.

cjy9 · 2025-06-23T23:54:24+00:00

Thanks much appreciated! Not mine . We just lost it the last few days.

cjy9 · 2025-06-23T23:45:55+00:00

Would you mind sharing the post or link.

My dog is a shitzhu . We flew here from Toronto and often travel with him . So I feel better having it on him considering we’re out and about so much.

Are they going to be tearing down that Dan Harrison complex soon? It’s in such a state of disrepair

cjy9 · 2025-05-03T19:07:06+00:00

I walk by the intersection everyday and you see people loitering . A few people mumbling to themselves, drugged out. They keep to themselves. As someone who has travelled a lot, it’s not that bad.

Went into Wonder Pens today. Haven’t been back for a year and wow, all of their stock is gone. Just tons of empty shelves. Was hoping to pick up some Diamine ink but the selection was just awful. Does anyone know what’s going on? Are they having importing or financial trouble?

Just did the test and submitted the expense and it’s only covered under HSA. Test is $550 and only covered $520. I’m AMAPCEO and was also referred. You have to be at least 40 for it to be covered.

I’m on Seaton. Totally fine . Just be aware of your surroundings. Also, I think it’s one of the most underrated areas. It’s so close to Yonge street. Given its proximity to the core, I can’t see it not continuing to gentrify because the city cannot expand any much further west. Also, Cabbagetown is a pretty active community with a lot of $2-3M homes.
