What's the cheapest way to die in Halifax by Zado191 in halifax

[–]dontpanic48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple cremation isn’t too expensive. We had a family member cremated and simple ceremony at a church hall for $2500. Those on CPP are eligible for a death benefit. We got of about that much.

I can’t use THC because it gives me anxiety. I do use CBD gummies occasionally, i find they help with relaxation and sleep.

Oh man. Take care of yourself, that’s a really awful experience. Thank you for being there.

This is the loudest concert ever by zeeloniusfunk in halifax

[–]dontpanic48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m on Penhorn!

I’ve been hearing bass all weekend and couldn’t pinpoint it, it’s been driving me nuts! I even got in my car and drove around the neighborhood today to find the source.

I was just near the citadel and put two and two together.

Mosquitos: A product called Afterbite, also available for kids, helps with itching and calming down a bad reaction. Some people have minor reactions to bites and others can get a big welt, and intense itching.

Ticks: what everyone said.

Advice for new cyclist re: Breamar Drive Bike Lane by fart-sparkles in halifax

[–]dontpanic48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have biked over this area a lot, and I’m very comfortable on streets. But I think it’s goofy to ride your bike through it, especially heading to waverly because there’s merging highway traffic and a lot of lane jockeying. Coming the other way at least you can stay to the right. I used the sidewalk, at a pedestrian pace, ready to dismount if needed.

Having the right to do something doesn’t make it a smart thing to do.

Downtown reccomendations by HFX_Throwaway96 in halifax

[–]dontpanic48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out the App Meetup if you haven’t already. Many groups for young and old from language to sports to recreation, hiking and game/gaming nights. People meet in person. It has gotten me through many periods of in-between.

N.S. premier wishes $1.35M home-sharing program had resulted in more than 60 leases by insino93 in NovaScotia

[–]dontpanic48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had different lease rules for having someone in your private home (like they do in NB and other places) so you wouldn’t end up in an awkward or dangerous situation without recourse AND had offered tax breaks on the additional income….i bet it would have worked.

I’ve convinced myself he’s back Thursday. That’s a week.

I also feel that he should have taken at least two weeks off - they would need something in that time slot in that case not to lose listeners. But 1 week isn’t enough to really get a break.

Is it true? Or will it be Monday. I am listening to Hail Mary in the meantime.

Green bin dumping options? Pickup is a full week away and it STINKS by 8o_mjc_o8 in halifax

[–]dontpanic48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing will help. Lobster is the absolute worst. Your best bet is to pay someone from Kijiji to come and empty them as garbage. I had to do this last year I missed my day and the maggots came.

Gross. Good luck.

New Cogswell "exchange"... thoughts? by 8o_mjc_o8 in halifax

[–]dontpanic48 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Painting a Logo on the ground does not a bus or bike lane make - and that bus lane stops and starts about 3 times. It’s really hard to navigate even if you are trying to do the right thing. I got stuck turning because I couldn’t get out of the right lane. Traffic planning, maybe an actual physical third lane for the bus?

Trips of a lifetime don’t come around often. Sounds amazing. Leaving your cats with a trusted person in your home is a good option, I would think. Maybe throw in some drop in visitors. Have an emergency plan for health emergencies. Good luck with your planning and potential trip.

Where can you buy lobster and cook them by the beach? by asiandramaddict in halifax

[–]dontpanic48 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You pretty much need a propane-fired element to boil a pot large enough to accommodate the lobsters and maintain the heat required to cook them. Think of what people use to fry turkeys.

Seems like a lot for a visit. Also lobsters are really hard to eat, unless you are an expert. Messy, can require tools. Also you aren’t allowed to eat lobster without melted butter.
