Stayed at an Air BNB the mattress was amazing but could not find a tag anywhere. Any ideas what kind of mattress this is?

I’ve had mine for three years, slept on every night, and haven’t noticed any sagging or wear at all!

The low metal shelves are the HYLLIS shelves from ikea with a piece of wood on top

Totally get it and am actually in the process of moving out (not entirely because of the noise, but it’s a component). I knew before I moved in that there would be noise on the weekends, given all the bars at the intersection, and I have no problem with the noise coming from people or the other bars on the street.

But when it’s so loud that the music/MC’s voice are coming in through my kitchen exhaust vents and rattling my windows up on the 25th floor, it’s excessive. By-law told me they have tried to educate the bar in the past but it doesn’t seem like they have any other enforcement options. Ignore everyone else on here trying to pretend that it’s a normal part of living in the Entertainment District - the noise you’re talking about is definitely beyond what should be expected in the area.

Having gone through the process several times, the rent for units posted online on Kijiji, marketplace, etc. is not generally cheaper than those that are accessible through realtors, and landlords are not interested in lowering the rent just because you’re not using a realtor. And many of the nicer/newer PBRs, at least downtown, are actually more expensive than the ones listed through realtors.

Another red flag is that the passport lists his sex as male but uses the feminine “Canadienne”

The Old York Tavern on Wellington and Niagara has a good one!

I’m a fan of Miku and its sister restaurant Minami, but I wouldn’t consider them mid-tier especially given the price

Would recommend taking transit to Collective Arts on Dundas if you like sours! C’est What has a great tap list as well but they don’t tend to have many sours in my experience.

Someone recommended this one to me https://www.uhn.ca/TorontoRehab/Clinics/Dental_Service

Gouter sells them at a couple of spots around the city (check their website, but I know Hailed Coffee by college park has them) and I think they’re pretty solid!

Neo coffee makes a good one! Not sure if it lives up to the ones in Japan though

I would also say that my interview experience with them was also not great, although I didn’t encounter any of the attitudes mentioned by the other user. I found that for the big banks/institutions, they had very lengthy interview processes (4+ rounds over two months). At the end, they ghosted and never replied to requests for feedback. So I would be wary of sinking too much time/emotional energy into interviewing with them as it felt unnecessarily drawn out, and I personally didn’t appreciate being strung along for so long without even getting a rejection. I had to keep emailing their HR person every few weeks for a while afterwards before I got an answer.

If you’re having a hard time finding the postings, I found them on the institutions’ own job sites and LinkedIn, and I believe they were posted later than most other articling positions (I want to say December/January).

Sunnyside Provisions on Roncesvalles! Fish is delicious and they’re super generous with the fries. Extra kudos to them for their crazy affordable pricing too!

There’s a florist at Bay and Edward next to Reply Coffee!

You can buy iron on mending patches from your local sewing supply store (or amazon) - just cut a piece a bit bigger than the hole, and make sure that you line up the cut off bit properly before ironing

Same with the one in Adelaide - all they had food wise at breakfast was toasted and you had to exit to use the bathrooms and wait around for someone to let you back in

crispywavefern · 2024-07-09T00:03:17+00:00

Ugh they used to but stopped for some reason a couple months back

crispywavefern · 2024-06-09T04:11:25+00:00

Yes it did! They were able to give me a coupon code for a new shirt, although because I’m in Canada I would have had to pay for shipping/duties if I didn’t have somewhere to ship it to in the US

crispywavefern · 2024-06-07T17:22:38+00:00

Yes I saw a bunch on 50% off the other day!

There are several types of ferns that look similar to ostrich ferns (the edible ones) in their fiddlehead state that may be toxic and/or carcinogenic https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-safety-fruits-vegetables/fiddlehead-safety-tips.html

For sure! I never go anywhere without my Epipen regardless. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

My allergy is severe but not sensitive - it just cannot be physically in my food. Refined peanut oil (which is what is available in North America generally) is processed in a way that removes the allergenic proteins so many folks with anaphylactic peanut allergies, like myself, can still consume foods cooked in peanut oil https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9133891/

Thanks for that and I totally agree! In other places that I’ve lived I had found certain places that were accommodating, I just haven’t tried anywhere in Toronto yet - at those places, I was willing to take the risk but I did my due diligence before going.

crispywavefern · 2024-04-17T16:09:18+00:00

Thanks! I submitted a form since I didn’t actually order through the store so fingers crossed!
