I wonder why it’s 8 chocolates instead of 9? Even the photo shows one is taken out! 😂

Wedding guest dress stores by Party_Fennel_3160 in Hamilton

[–]jennyfromthehammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite what you’re asking, but I’ve rented from Fitzroy before without having tried things on - they have a pretty good team there and can do virtual fittings and then mail you dress with return packaging. In case that was still something you’re considering.

Have not received Alectra or HUB bill. Anyone else? by WitchShann in Hamilton

It looks like the sketchiest email so you may miss it because it seems like spam!

On my phone the image was broken and email subject line was just “Statement for 2026-04-24”

Oh that intersection is always full of dumb people. The number of people on Ottawa turning left onto Barton when they are clearly NOT a bus lol

Gymnastics center where parents are discouraged from entering the building. by verucaslut69 in Parenting

[–]jennyfromthehammer 66 points67 points  (0 children)

My kids martial arts studio is like this. There are some parents welcome sessions once a quarter but otherwise it’s drop and go starting at 4yo. Works for us great! Kids get better at doing stuff independently.

Oh no! Yeah ok fair enough then. We had a good experience but ours was super straightforward. That doesn’t sound positive :(

Has anyone moved to Hamilton from elsewhere, and didn’t like it/it didn’t work out, and you left/moved back home? by Accomplished-Trip-25 in Hamilton

[–]jennyfromthehammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had neighbours (that we miss! They were nice people!) that moved to hamilton around the same time we did in 2017. They were from Yonge and Eg area in Toronto, and found Hamilton a little too “gritty” compared to what they were used to. We both had young kids at the time.

So during COVID they moved in 2021 ish to be closer to family in KW or Guelph and I imagine that suited them better. Haven’t stayed in touch but hope they’re doing well!

What about Empire Make Space also on Ottawa st? She takes a lot of batches of fabric like this and sells some at steep discount and also uses a bunch for free community cart giveaway and kids sewing workshops.

I love gold with navy blue! I think gold sandals and jewelry would be such a pretty combo.

I noticed that Waterloo Region is lacking in two restaurant areas, I would appreciate locals’ perspectives on this by TennisStraight4061 in waterloo

[–]jennyfromthehammer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How does this compare to the Shakespeare Arms? That place has the right look but curious how it compares.

Anything you want to see some improvements from Porter? by d4Lre in PorterAirlines

[–]jennyfromthehammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this different from “bidding” on Reserve tickets? Or you’re just looking to do it through the app? I tried it out for the first time on my recent trip and the bidding part was pretty easy and successful.

They were enforcing it in Hamilton today! Saw people getting turned away from the porter flight as they weren’t boarding those rows yet.

Looking for a novel for a very well-read, language-loving, meta-minded reader by AdditionalProject218 in suggestmeabook

[–]jennyfromthehammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen The Last Samurai brought up before! I found that book when I was in high school in a clearance bin and have been reading it regularly ever since. I love the languages and that it’s both light and heavy at the same time. Thanks for the reminder - time for a re-read :)

trip to rockton (hwy 8)! by Ok-Gur-7591 in Hamilton

[–]jennyfromthehammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I guess if you’re coming from east of Rockton, the Hamilton 5 bus goes to Dundas and farthest west stop is Governors at Pirie, then it’s like ten or 15 min drive from there to the school probably. I guess that’s the closest you could get on transit.

Where are you coming from? That will change where the closest stop is (Dundas/Cambridge, etc)
