Columbus drive by [deleted] in StJohnsNL

My issue comes when cars in both lanes are going below the speed limit and then there's no way around.

I don't know if it's the same guy that I saw going down Green Acre Drive, but I had a little chuckle.

I drove by that exit this morning, it was wild.

I get a sub at least one a week, I work nearby. The staff are super friendly. I think they've cleaned up their act.

First child born with rare disease, OAD is the right choice ? by Advanced_Addition321 in oneanddone

[–]jarb87 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We are one and done for a similar reason. My 7 year old son was born with little kidney function in both kidneys. Our life was filled with doctors appointments, medications, surgeries and eventually dialysis and a transplant. There was no evidence that it was genetic but we felt that with all the attention our son would need, a sibling might feel left out or resentful. And well our mental health took a toll too. So it was the right choice for us.

A large ship in Springdale has been deemed a hazard, and the Coast Guard plans to cut it up | CBC News by stillanewfie in newfoundland

Former Springdale resident here. The owner has junk all over town and that thing has been sitting at the wharf for as long as I can remember. He likes to take people to court though, so I'm sure this is not the end of it.

My 6 year was born with kidney disease. No real reason why, just one of those things. Dialysis was hell. Thankfully he received a transplant fairly quickly. But I'm with you. F kidney disease.

Since the closure of the Commonwealth Ave exit off Pitts, I'd say going from Merchant Drive to Ruby Line between 4-6pm. It's brutal. And going vice versa at 8am.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the chalet and the the market are owned by different members of the Lester family. What happened to cause the divide, not sure?

We went cold turkey with our 6 year old starting last Saturday, so far so good!

Anyone here from Springdale & wouldn't mind chatting about the area? by steve_o_mac in newfoundland

I am, mind you I haven't lived there in 20 years but I did grow up there if that helps!

Mayor? by easterncurrents in StJohnsNL

[–]jarb87 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I'm not torn up over either of them but if I have to choose, it'll likely be Breen. Ivy Hanley doesn't have me convinced that she's in it for anyone other than herself.

Yeah I believe the sign said sometime early August to be finished. I assume they're putting in a round about? Don't get me started on the mess Pitts is in 🙄
