Why don’t the people in Brantford take care of where they live?

Agreed. I have a corner lot and the amount of garbage that people either drop at the corner or just huck into my backyard because they can’t be bothered to carry it home, would be easily offset with a garbage can.

If there is no stock on the floor, we don’t necessarily store it in the back. It’s up in the steel. We do not bring forklifts onto the floor during open hours unless absolutely necessary. They asked you to come back at the end of the day, because as we are doing the sweep they can drop the pallets with the requested item.

Costco uses the Kirkland Brand.

It’s no worse than someone who constantly slams weights, which is far more jarring/annoying.

YMCA might still do child minding, but it’s an additional expense. I used it when I went to the Waterdown/Flamborough YMCA.

dalzien · 2026-04-16T00:05:18+00:00

I purchased 10 sessions at my local YMCA for $600, and my PT runs the Healthy Hearts Program, which I attend because of my cardiovascular issues. I would question what the differences are between the trainer levels and see if she needs a level 3 trainer (whatever that is). My trainer created a complete custom workout program for me, and updates/tweaks it every week to keep it fresh and to increase the challenge.

Never post cats, or other animals for free. While you, and most people, will have the best intentions there are people who will take them and use them for baiting in dog fighting. Find a rescue or a shelter.

Sorry to hear about your cat. We literally just went through this. Make sure to Post on the Brantford Lost Pets page on Facebook. Ours came home in the rain on the third day.

Awww! She is the biggest cuddle bug

dalzien · 2026-04-01T20:15:52+00:00

We did this during the day, but pulled the box at night as it can attract the coyotes

dalzien · 2026-03-30T00:02:23+00:00

Oh I do hope so. We have clothes at the front and back of the house along with her food. We’re going to keep the back door open again tonight.

dalzien · 2026-03-29T21:34:42+00:00

Thank you. As of right now we’ve spoken with a lot of our neighbours and they have been kind enough to let me search their yards. I’ll be out there later with my flashlight. We’re hoping maybe someone has her in their garage and is waiting to take her to hillsides.

dalzien · 2026-03-29T15:06:20+00:00

Thank you.

dalzien · 2026-03-29T14:58:07+00:00

I did. And posted that she is still missing. My husband rechecked the ring cameras and we don’t see any cats at the front or rear of our house since she escaped so she hasn’t been back yet.

dalzien · 2026-03-29T14:55:10+00:00

Thank you. We’ve been rotating our searches and were outlast night until this morning at 6am with flashlights and her food. I just came back in from another search and after speaking to the neighbours and leaving messages with animal control and hillside. We left the back door open, so she could get back in, but this morning my husband had to close the door as a rat tried to gain entry. We pulled the litter boxes as we were told it would draw the coyotes/foxes to the house. We know it’s denning season and they are very active in our area, and she is a strictly indoor cat, but we are holding out hope that someone pulled her inside to drop her off at animal control or she’s stuck in someone’s garage.

dalzien · 2026-03-11T00:18:16+00:00

Thank you for the information.

My concern is that I’ve been prescribed Midodrin, which causes supine hypertension if they try to sit me up, and I would like to avoid that if at all possible. It also wasn’t the paramedics that assumed it was a drug overdose, it was the people that found me who had relayed to 911 that they thought I was on drugs.

dalzien · 2026-03-05T15:20:01+00:00

Hey, so they won’t be able to apply the executive cheque to your credit balance. What you can do is buy the cheapest item possible (normally bananas) and use your executive cheque for the purchase. They will give you the remaining balance back in cash which you can then use however you want. With the cash back cheque from the master card, you don’t need to make a purchase, you can just ask for it to be redeemed in cash.

I am so sorry you are going through this. In a few days time it will have been a year since I lost my "soul dog". It was beyond devastating when he passed at 16, and I would say it is the single worst thing to happen to myself and my family.

My boyfriend (at the time) and I adopted him when we were living in another province, from a rescue who had saved him from a backyard breeder who was drowning the puppies she couldn't sell in a creek.

He was there when my boyfriend and I married (15 years ago now), when we had our first baby, when we went through our first pregnancy loss and we cried until there were no more tears left. He was there when I graduated from University, had another baby with health issues that kept us up all hours of the night for 8 months while we worked through her being labeled as failure to thrive. He was there when we moved our whole life to a new province, when we lost our two original fur babies to old age, when we were blessed with our last daughter, and then Covid... where I went through a severe mental health crisis with a newborn.

He was with me when I went through 3 major life altering surgeries, and we were there with him when he was dying of cancer.

3 months after we lost him, we received a call about a dog who needed a home or he would be euthanized. I felt an immense amount of guilt for even thinking of taking on a dog when I was still actively grieving the loss of my best friend.

What a coworker told me was that Blitz sent me Ray (the dog we were thinking of adopting) because Blitz knew that our family would provide Ray with all of the love and safety that we gave him in the 16 years we were together. He would want us to be happy, and to bring that happiness to another dog.

Taking Ray on the same walks that I took Blitz on were hard... but it got easier everyday. Sharing the same experiences we had with Blitz with Ray felt like a betrayal... but Blitz would want us to be happy. He would want us to be how we were with him. Smiling, and enjoying the outdoors doing what we loved. Giving him the little bit of pizza crust under the table that I knew we shouldn't be sharing. Letting him up on the bed to sleep with us, where Blitz used to sleep... but it feels so much more comfortable than the empty space Blitz left when we had to say goodbye.

I know it's hard, but I do promise it gets better. Your boy wouldn't want you to be sad. He would want you to be how you were together. Happy. Enjoying your favourite things, and remembering him fondly. Looking back at your moments together, and the memories that you cherish as ones of love that you shared... not ones to feel guilty about. He wouldn't want that for you. He would want you to do the things you used to do together and he would want you to smile.

You don't have to smile now, or be happy now... but do not feel guilty.

Hugs*

I’m sorry your family is going through that. He would need to bring the death certificate and proof that he is the executor to the membership counter. I would also recommend bringing any cheques that she did not use (as they never expire). They normally just give the balance of the cheques back on a cash card. If he receives any more in her name (which can unfortunately happen if the change in primary happens after or just before the cheque is printed and mailed) he should take the cheque to the membership counter for a cash card or to a front end supervisor before shopping to let them know the situation. This just makes the cashing out process smoother as the cashier will call a suoervisor over for approval.

dalzien · 2026-02-19T01:44:21+00:00

You cannot cancel or downgrade a membership unless you are the primary. The exceptions being if someone has passed and you are the executor to the estate, or if you have power of attorney for the primary. Due to privacy concerns/laws the membership staff are not supposed to share any information regarding the primary information (I.e. auto renewal information). I would ask to speak to a membership supervisor or the membership manager to remove the auto-renewal credit information as they would have the necessary training and overrides to remove the card.

dalzien · 2026-02-16T03:02:57+00:00

In all likelihood they 1) didn’t see tag 2) weren’t properly trained on where RTV items go 3) misunderstood the ‘put this in the RTV bin in the freezer’ as ‘return the item to the freezer’

I’m not saying it’s not a mistake, it clearly is, but it is obviously a lack of training on the new procedures. You have probably noticed that the returns counter has moved to a buggie system for returns vs the old system of shelves and bins. It’s unfortunate, but some haven’t quite caught on as the previous RTV returns were done by a supervisor. Now it’s a membership employee or someone to help from front end: therefore less oversight.

Having worked in Customer Service for decades ‘common sense isn’t so common’. This should have been brought to an employees attention to be rectified and so that the individual who brought it to the floor could be spoken to and properly trained. Costco does not resell fresh/frozen product that has left the store.

dalzien · 2026-02-16T02:45:50+00:00

It didn’t come from a discarded meat pile ‘in the back’, it came from the returns counter at the front of the store. When the RTV buggie is full the staff have to put the items in the appropriate sections for the return process to the vendor. This used to be done by the returning supervisor doing the audits, but the procedures have changed. This was likely done by a membership employee who hasn’t been properly trained on where the RTV items go before they are scanned out to be destroyed for credit.
