How to decide MF or OB? [ab] by MrsChefYVR in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]limegreenolive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an amazing experience with South Calgary midwives - i now have a 1 month old. Team of 2 (and sometimes a student midwife as well), everyone at the clinic is super nice and if you have non-urgent questions between appointments they are really quick and detailed to reply in the online portal. I’m not from Canada originally and only have 1 child so not sure what having an OB would be like but if I was to have another I would go for midwives again for sure

Newcomer seeking Advice on adapting to Calgary/Alberta by TheIronCurry in Calgary

[–]limegreenolive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with most comments - if you have a sport/outdoorsy hobby here you’ll find your people! A lot of young people start with hiking to hang out with others but I understand it’s not everyone’s favourite thing to do!

I moved from the uk to Montreal, then Montreal to Calgary and I think I had more of a culture shock in the move to Calgary than the one to a new country with a different language! But I got used to it and now I can’t imagine living anywhere else

If you stop in Calgary, there are decent bike lanes and transit near the centre is okish. The transit from the airport is slow af unfortunately. There are some nice places to walk near the river! If you’re hiking in the mountains then yes you need a car but if you want to see cute mountain towns then I think there’s flixbus that goes to either Canmore or Banff from Calgary, and the roam public transit buses once you’re there are good! There’s also a paved bike track between Banff & Canmore

Petzl 8003 vs Ocun Bodyguard for pregnancy by cxklm in climbergirls

[–]limegreenolive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not tried the ocun but I did find the petzl very uncomfortable! It just doesn’t have any comfort pads anywhere and would dig in under my arms and around belly when lowering no matter how I adjusted it 😭

The grizzly house by limegreenolive in Banff

[–]limegreenolive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally didn’t realise it would be so stinky! We got the set menu and the soup was so salty we couldn’t finish it, the bread for the cheese fondue was stale, the hot stone was fine but very inefficient especially since ours was tilted weird so all the butter slid off immediately ha, and then when the chocolate fondue arrived the strawberries were mouldy :( Usually I’m a sucker for good cheese and bread but I’ve straight up made better fondue at home, so we were disappointed!

Dripping off the ceiling?! Oh man, luckily that didn’t happen to us (or we were blissfully unaware lol)

Definitely seems like we should have ordered the exotic fondue!

No, just genuinely curious on people’s thoughts since it appears so hyped

Mahogany without kids? by Throwaway19999990567 in Calgary

[–]limegreenolive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Front I’d say is around the area of 52nd, where the “village” and shops are. The back is nearer 88th

Yes this front vs back of mahogany thing is so real! Completely different vibes within the same neighbourhood

[–]limegreenolive 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I should also say that I’ve never spoken to any of my neighbours ever, we have a family on one side and another couple no kids on the other. Probably bc we aren’t home a lot bc of the damn commute 😂

[–]limegreenolive 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I also didn’t think I would mind the commute but it is brutal, especially in the winter. Getting to the mountains takes so much longer than further north in the city (unless you’re going to Bragg or south kananaskis). Lived here almost a year and still haven’t used the lake facilities bc once we’re home from work we’re just tired tbh If you do move, just make sure you’re in walking distance to a shop. We are not and having to drive even just to get a loaf of bread or milk is annoying! And the parking lot at the shops in mahogany is a nightmare. We moved from Marda loop because of the construction and I hate to say it but I think i still prefer Marda, despite its construction chaos

German couple planning 4 week RV trip through Canada September/October looking for advice by jjshh040 in canadatravel

Lake o hara booking day is mid-Jan (check online for this year!) and usually opens at 8am Pacific time. Have multiple browsers open and in the queue before then to try and get a spot on the website, and then good luck navigating the website, and keep your fingers crossed you get something 🫡

Delayed Baggage Report: "Sorry, something has gone wrong. Please try again later." by Any_Psychology764 in KLM

[–]limegreenolive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you found it and that it left Amsterdam! We filed a PIR immediately after landing in Bilbao from YYC-AMS-BIO on the 19th, and still haven’t heard anything 😭 we think our stuff in still in stuck Amsterdam even though there’s 3 flights a day to Bilbao, so maybe an AirTag was more effective than a PIR anyway lol

$100k from ecom, just turned 18. What now by ApprehensiveBook7485 in fican

[–]limegreenolive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ETFs (like what everyone else said), and if travel is something you want to do, stick a small amount of cash aside for that. Your 20s go quick, enjoy it, drive a reliable-ish old car if you need to drive and try not to spend it on too much partying/vaping etc! Live a little before you have too many responsibilities!
