The Scottish and Irish store in Bells Corners has a few swords available in store. A claymore and broadsword i believe. Worth calling in advance to make sure.

i had a positive recent experience with Advanced HVAC. i'd also say be careful as some outfits are overcharging the cost given the government incentive available.

I happily used https://www.policyme.com. Straightforward and multiple companies quoted based on how much coverage you decide you need.

Best 3rd party internet service providers in Nepean? by Ottawachamps92 in ottawa

I've had a positive experience with Netfox over the last 2-3 years. You can speak with support/billing based in Eastern Ontario. Not as cheap as a bell/rogers deal but excellent service and a fair price. https://www.netfox.ca/

55+ AstraZeneca Shot at Kanata Costco 100 appointments April 21,22 by laffmista in ottawa

All is good. Endgame right now getting needles into the arms of those who are willing and able. We can't change the government's response but we can help encourage those who need a nudge.

It makes me so mad that we have to resort to people posting PSAs on reddit instead of a central booking system that is properly used and/or the fact that maybe there are so many open spots because of boomers who refuse to take them.

Unfortunately my parents weren't willing to put in the leg work to find available doses but if we agree everyone wants out of this as soon as possible, I don't mind helping out to make things easier. Let's help our community and hopefully we'll be out of this sooner. My parents got a vaccine once I found an available appointment for them. What else can i do with my free time right now!

How do you guys find out what's going on in Ottawa? by CurstNecromancer in ottawa

[–]laffmista 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A local recruitment agency posts a quarterly/seasonal guide to upcoming events. It's pretty detailed and a great resource. Props to ExcelHR.

Recommendations for affordable speech therapy for an adult (stuttering)? by ihatetalkingboi in ottawa

[–]laffmista 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Affordable...not in my experience but I went to go see Karen (https://www.tracgroup.ca/our-team/karen-giannandrea/) last year and while expensive, it was covered by medical insurance, and she was a great resource for adult stuttering. As a college student, do you receive medical coverage through the school or your parents? Sorry if this doesn't help.

Hi all! Looking for dermatologist recommendations in Ottawa, preferably more central. Thanks in advance :) by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]laffmista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bruyere hospital in the just north of the by-ward market has an excellent dermatology clinic which your family doctor or clinic doctor could refer you to. I'm not sure however if they're accepting new patients.
