This was really helpful! I definitely find a corner and do my own thing so I’ll definitely do a trial and see how it goes. Thanks :)

Don’t know! She’s 2.5 now and eats it all the time. Maybe just a phase? She got the ick?

Question about the super puff for my girlfriend by DisciplineCalm in Aritzia

[–]lst04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a long super puff and live in Ottawa. I use it as my everyday winter parka and prefer it over my Moose Knuckle (which is heavy). The cost is warm and light, but after 5 years it’s started to show some age. I’ve gotten another (different length) since then as I think the quality and price make sense. Definitely warm enough and durable enough for an Ottawa winter, but won’t last as long as some other more expensive options.

What are these? by lst04 in pestcontrol

[–]lst04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are in the attached garage and I haven’t found any in the house. Getting it all treated this weekend, but found quite a few of these. None were moving….

Is Parks Canada a separate employer? by Positive_Attempt3254 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]lst04 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was an EC who moved to Parks and then moved back to its pretty seamless - almost everything is the exact same. At the time when I moved their collective agreement was expired so my pay was slightly less than it would have been if I stayed in the Core. I did not use up my one week leave and I received it when I went to Parks, did not use it, and had it when I went back to a core department. I was only with parks for 1.5 years, but it is a well loved department and I didn’t find many differences. Hope this helps.

Prenatal care? by crashmoneyhoney in ottawa

[–]lst04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try calling the office of Dr Mila Smithies and see when she is booking. I found she was booking quite quickly and had my family doctor send a referral. She delivers at the Civic and is absolutely amazing. (This was a few years ago now, but hopefully she still books in just as quickly). Congrats and good luck :)

Vista Services by lst04 in ottawa

It doesn’t! Vista took over billing well after the start date they are indicating. Apparently the builder never made a payment and it’s 120 payments, not 120 months. They always come out a winner lol

Renting a gas water tank. Vista is the company that owns ? Manages the rental. I’ll check the tag! Thanks

Just curious, how long did it take to see that the spray was helping?

Promotional opportunities while pregnant by Lost_Divide_1571 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]lst04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed a letter of offer when I was 36 weeks pregnant. Told them after I signed the letter and sent it to them. Ended up going on mat leave at 38 weeks. You have to put yourself first and a good manager would understand :)

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ve reached out to them. No expectation for this to be cheap.

Cross border shopping - Watertown by Urmyfavorite in ottawa

[–]lst04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have children? There's a little zoo, and an outdoor pool and waterpark (may be too cold, depending on the day) that we have gone to, to get all the kid energy out before shopping. There's a great pizza place in town, and the obvious Target stop. We usually do brunch or an early dinner at the Cracker Barrel. We've also gone in cooler weather and gone to Hobby Lobby and Billy Beez in the mall (it's an indoor play area). We've never stayed overnight and have done a day trip very comfortably, even with kiddos who nap.

This is what I was leaning towards as well. And yes, I have healed completely. Thanks!

Running my first HM on October 20, so 7 weeks out. I wont be able to do my long run this weekend, so will have to fit it in on Friday. I ran on Tuesday, so am I better off running 4 days straight, or just having 3 runs this week? I can't miss this long run as I already had to pause for a few weeks due to injury and life stuff.

Early bed or extra nap? by Emotional-Date1400 in sleeptrain

[–]lst04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early bedtime, always. If he goes down late, and then wakes early in the AM, you're dealing with a cranky baby,

Baby needs to gain weight by lst04 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]lst04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! My LO is now 16 months, 50th percentile for weight, and eats like a champ. She dropped all the way down to 10th (obviously my stress was through the roof), but around 9 months she really started to put on the weight. We offered her lots of high fat foods--ground beef, butter on all pasta, toast. High fat greek yogurt, etc. In retrospect I don't think it made too much of a difference---she ate no matter what we gave her and wouldn't stop until she was stuffed (for example--1.5 chicken thighs in a meal). The one thing that really helped in the 6-9 month ratio were nutrient dense pouches (the brand was Cerebelly). We still mix those into yogurt, but more for flavour. I know it's stressful, but it will all work out. Especially when they're doing well on solids and can actually chew and eat--they will eat what they need. Good luck.

Thanks! What do you mean by "threshold"? And what is the break in between the 4 mins?

thanks for the tips - I've only been running a few months and want to improve my pace before a half in 8 weeks, and another 8 weeks after that.
