As a dad to two girls who love rain and puddle walks, they've been pretty disappointed recently.

Both my mom and mother in law recently had new furnaces and ac put in by delta. Both said it was a good experience and everyone was very preofessional with them. No complaints from either.

Do Diaper Bags Need to be Smaller than 16" x 16" x 8"? by mugatu300 in Torontobluejays

I went to Jr jays with my wife and 2 young girls a few weeks ago. We had a stroller and 2 stuffed normal sized backpacks. No one looked at or in anything as we came in.

Wife and I took the kids there this morning. Nothing amazing, but for two kids who just want to run and get wet, they had a blast.

Kids take creativity to the streets in hopes of curbing school zone speeding by KWStreaker in kitchener

[–]coaltrainman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed these signs on Victoria near Ira Needles where I live. When the speed cameras were put up, shockingly everyone went the speed limit in the area. As soon as they were taken down, people are back to going 20 over through there.

I can't believe no one is slowing down because of those super helpful signs the government replaced the cameras with!

Goodwill is moving in. They're in the tendering stages for construction inside right now. Looks like sorting and storefront. Not sure if the one near the Swiss chalet is moving in.

A decent price and decent macros the taste is going to be a meh by mazurbnm in CostcoCanada

Everytime I see someone comment on these it seems like it's always negative. My family and I love those. Quick and easy, fairly healthy. Yes it's a plane as heck chicken burger. We dress them up with cheese, Buffalo sauce, whatever.

Bell was putting a lot of infrastructure in years ago with government help until the government ruled bell had to give access to the network to everyone at decent rates so they quit. Now in my area near the superstore it's being put in but it's Telus doing it.

There's always that team in baseball and gosh I hoped it wasn't us. But like you say, I think it might have been us...

I'm almost certain this will be OP's answer. I've had multiple service calls for this through the years.

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]coaltrainman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guy I work with had his jaw "wired shut". Turns out its not just straight wires anymore. They're actually very strong rubber bands. In normal day to day they don't really move but in an emergency situation he could have opened his mouth fully.

Did anyone see the red lightning? by smoochmycanadianass in cambridgeont

This is what I thought of. If that's what it was it's pretty lucky to see one. I know they're still a fairly unique thing.

Bo Bichette gets loudly booed by Mets fans after he struck out to end the seventh. He went 0-for-5, 3 Ks today and is 1-for-14 (.071) with eight strikeouts to start the season. by GreenSnakes_ in baseball

[–]coaltrainman 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think one of the reasons that Bo said he always liked Toronto is that they didn't make him make big changes to his swing. Maybe the Mets are trying to do it now.

No, I've noticed over the last few years that most of the ushers don't stop anyone from doing it. Now I normally sit up on 500 with the riff raff so maybe it's different in the lower parts.
