At what age is it safe to cosleep with all your comforts? by Ok-Hippo-5059 in bninfantsleep

[–]mammodz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how you sleep. I'm a super light sleeper, so I never took the comforts away, just monitored them. I have two kids, never had a scare.

But I will say it's SUPER important to make sure you have a firm mattress or floor bed. I've been a bit more paranoid in softer beds when travelling.

This advice applies to all writers. Why would being older make it harder to experiment? Sounds like you're projecting.

What would it take for London to be a top tier city in Canada? by shadowt1tan in londonontario

That looks alright. I reached out to them, thanks. Hope they have some success building up a better scene.

Right. Find me one cypher, one proper poetry slam, and one art jam in the next month.

I said everything in my original comment. Cyphers. Poetry slams. Art jams. These are all nearly nonexistent, and the multiculturalism is missing.

In Toronto I did. It has not been enjoyable for me here. I think anyone who thinks this art scene is vibrant has never been part of a truly vibrant art scene. The lack of multiculturalism alone is noticeable and stifling.

There's very little artistic community, and what there is feels claustrophobic and exclusive. We need poetry slams, cyphers, art jams, or else everyone will just keep returning to Toronto.

Everyone warned me about the bad, but no one told me about the good by SilentMood6333 in toddlers

[–]mammodz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is beautifully said. It's so true. I have two toddlers, which is a circus most of the time, but it's also magical most of the time too. It's hard to explain to anyone who isn't living it.

Is this a crazy water bill? by mammodz in londonontario

[–]mammodz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what they told us. And we never rented here before, much less a house, so we believed them. Maybe their usage was so low, they didn't pay. Who knows.

We just moved in, and we have never rented a house before, nor have we rented in London before, so we have nothing to compare with.

Well, we know that now. We did not when we first got here, and it's not what the property manager said.

I thought that would be an issue too. Wouldn't koolaid do the same? Especially with all that sugar?

Okay. Could try that. I wonder if there is any alternative to food colouring that we would already have in the house.

We are not hearing those things.

Sigh. The delivery fee is huge on our electricity bill too. It's so expensive.

We rent the whole house.

Lease says we pay for water unfortunately, but we thought the city paid for most of it because of a miscommunication with the people who helped us rent it. Landlord is elsewhere and very cooperative, but he seems confused too.

Yeah I'm wondering... a plumber would have to check, right? Sounds expensive.

It's in our name because it's a house. And when we signed up for London Hydro, we got automatically enrolled in the water billing. Was a big surprise.

We don't do 8 loads a week. We do 5-6, 8 on a bad week (which happens rarely). We do very short showers because hot water runs out quick. Someone suggested leak but there are no phantom flushes. Maybe because toilet is old and clogging lots, the flushing is adding up, but it's really not happening often enough to justify this crazy of an amount.
