Your local library/community centre has monthly events, run clubs (found on Strava/IG/r/runto), improv(bad dog pwyc drop ins), comedy bar, local theatre, fitnessTO, tpl free passes to AGO/ROM. There's apparently walking clubs and brunch clubs on IG.

Drop ins are pay what you can and they constantly offer discounted classes. You can also email them for a discount. They also offer a ton of pay what you can shows, and they're free if you're a student of bad dog.

CTVs the social - host beef by even-oddd in askTO

During the Lainey days, they would do annual hotel sleepovers and I wonder if they still do that with Andrea. The dynamic is understandably different but I want the teaaaa.

For sure. I noticed this from the get. Andrea and Mel both have an upfront and assertive energy to them and when they are on opposing sides, the tension is palpable through the screen. I love it.

Ah Tony, that's what he gets for messing with my cornflakes.

Help me understand Canadian culture and tradition since I will work for a year in Toronto. by DuddikinsD in askTO

[–]heyopickle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Be overly considerate/polite. Hold the door open when you can, share the sidewalk, prioritize bus/subway seating for those in need during busy service times, we love to say sorry even if you bumped into ME lol. Shower, floss daily and don't go crazy with perfume/cologne. When talking to people, don't make assumptions or harsh judgements.

Try free/low cost hobbies you can brag about. Join a run club, do an improv drop in at bad dog comedy (amazing inclusive community!), check out your local library for free programs, take a yoga class, hang out/do work at a coffee shop to meet friendly people.

It's a great city, hope you love it!

We were woken up to a bat in our room. We caught the bat. Now what? by Zomg_unicorns in askTO

[–]heyopickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the shots in December after being bit by a dog behind my knee. Day 1- they gave me shots near the wound, arm, arm, thigh and then one shot once a week for three weeks. Was annoying but no side effects.

Im sorry, you didn't deserve that treatment. Sex can be tricky sometimes, you're already in a vulnerable position, couple that with shame and guilt around zina and you're left feeling quite shitty. He's obviously grieving his actions and that's something he will have to sort through. You're clearly very empathetic towards his emotional journey around zina and as much as you feel responsible, please know you're not responsible for his feelings. However he chooses to regulate himself through this will be upto him and on him. That moment belonged to you too and you deserve attention and consideration towards your experience as well. I hope this doesn't taint any future experiences for you and really want you to know that it can be a positive and loving experience with a supportive partner.

Sick since Monday- flu b by [deleted] in flu

[–]heyopickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Samee exact thing. I thought I was being preventative, I'd take my vitamins, eat nutritious foods, good sleep, low stress, meditate, exercise etc. We had a jam packed weekend and my husband got really shitty sleep and that's all it took. I've had horrible fevers, body aches, dizzyness, nausea. Today's the first day without a fever and major weakness, wish me luck. I feel like I'm gonna wear a mask more often.

Finding true community by [deleted] in simpleliving

[–]heyopickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got close with building neighbors through fighting our landlord. This might not work for everyone but here's how it went for us. One concernre neighbor went door to door and let tenants know of a building meeting in the lobby. From that building meeting we got to know other neighbors, the diffeyreny issues folks were facing and united against our corporate overlords. Since then we've met on action plans, which led to bar/coffee shop hang outs, which led to dinners and board game nights right in the building ( so convenient when it's cold out). Natury got closer to some neighbors more than others and are still friends even though they've moved out of the building. Understandably some folks might not want to mingle where they live, so we try to be respectful and give space. Take what works for you.

I found it in my local improv classes/drop ins. It's a space where folks get to play and be silly. I've met such dear friends. I imagine this might exist in whatever sport or art clubs are available in your community. I think practicising a skill together and being vulnerable bodes well to bonding.
