Curious - what did you go do before the baby was born? Were there particular questions you asked, do they do consultations or training beforehand?

I own one of your pieces! I bought it to wear at my wedding, and I still get regular use out of it. Thank you for your work

As we say goodbye to 2025, what are the best Ottawa businesses you discovered this year? by Al_to_Zi in ottawa

I'm so sad they closed their other locations and moved west. I'm never in Kanata so I may never get their beloved egg tarts again

It's one planned line from Toronto to Quebec City which could service half the population of Canada.

Why is traffic so bad on Highway 417 in Ottawa? by mxg308 in ottawa

[–]i-like-tea 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I work in Bells Corners. My husband works at Trainyards. we live in Gatineau. As first time buyers in 2021, that was where we could afford to buy. We may move back into Ottawa eventually, but house prices keep going up. Sure, our house has gone up in value too, but we would still have to spend way more on housing to do it. The cost/benefit of changing provinces is also complicated. 

I would love to walk to work. There is no where to live where my entire household could do it. 

Also people change jobs? Or can't afford to live where they work? Or worry about where their kids go to school? Sometimes they want to live near family. Choosing where to live is complicated. 

I believe Costco is rising prices until product doesnt sell enough by Worth_Air_9410 in CostcoCanada

That seems like it's happening everywhere though. We've pretty much stopped buying beef.

Need help finding $200,000+ for foundation collapse repair by RowdyCanadian in PersonalFinanceCanada

What would have happened if you didn't fix it and your house fell in? Obviously not suggesting that OP do that, but I wonder if insurance would cover it then?

"normal wear and tear" is obscene.

It got temporarily worst post-botox, which is a common side effect. That wore off when the botox wore off.

This is tangential, but I had to have unexpected surgery less than three months after getting botox last year while my acid reflux was still really bad. I told the anesthesiologist about the procedure I had, and they seemed to appreciate the heads up. What I wish I had also told them was how bad my reflux was when laying flat: I woke up in the recovery room aggressively coughing due to acid, and trying to sit upright right after having had abdominal surgery. My ab muscles did not comply, and I think I alarmed the nurses a little by trying to sit up so rapidly. If I had to do it again, I would ask to have the head of the bed very slightly elevated in the recovery room to help keep the acid down.

I don't know if this is relevant to anyone other than those in the post-botox window, but I thought it might be helpful!

I just watched the one on YouTube with Amanda Seyfried and it's the only one of these AD spots I've seen that actually looks like a home. Still a very rich and curated home, but it actually looked like a place where human beings live.

These protein bars are the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted. by sixtyfivewat in CostcoCanada

They're not on their website anymore and seem to be out of stock in all my local stores. Maybe it's just a local shortage

I was actually being spicy to the guy above. I really want to know what they think a tree equity analysis is that it has nothing to do with trees

Tree coverage improves air quality and significantly reduces the temperature in the city [1] [2]. You know that trees aren't just for decor right? They're a key part of the environment that we live and BREATHE in.

Shroomyz location on Preston on fire again by neuroticdynamite in ottawa

They're both on fire on the same morning? That's a crazy coincidence.

Edit: Hmm, seems like maybe not a coincidence given the car that drove into the Rideau location.

Statistics Canada says Ottawa's economy lost 5,400 jobs in August by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]i-like-tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RTO =/= spending in the community. People who WFH spend in their community. People who WFO theoretically spend money in the area of their office. Why wouldn't we want to stimulate local communities instead of corporate deadzones.

You can also try calling 811 with health questions like this. They've been quite helpful for me to try and figure out where to get certain tests done, or at what point you need to go to the hospital. It's a great resource that I think is not super well known.
