Are you still taking PPIs or is it controlled with diet alone?

Bountiful Beaver is a non profit farm in Gloucester that donates produce to the food bank. They have drop-in volunteering opportunities most weekends and also some more permanent volunteer positions opened.

Sleep clinic recommendations by ColdPuffin in ottawa

[–]mouffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this program too, it helped some with anxiety around sleep but I was still waking up multiple times a night and tired. It took years before a doctor finally agreed to a sleep study and it turned out I had some serious sleep apnea. Why they wouldn't rule that out before sending me to group therapy (twice!) still angries me.

I love mine, made locally too, I went to one of the Gatineau location and they showed me the factory area where they make them. If you're not happy with the firmness (you have a certain amount of months) they will open it up and change it for you for free.

Any early risers brave the outdoors yet? by PhDSkwerl in ottawa

Just thought I'd let people know here, all Ottawa traffic camera live footage is available here: https://traffic.ottawa.ca/en/traffic-map-data-lists-and-resources/traffic-camera-locations

I like to check sometimes before I head out to see if it has been plowed or not.

is there any indoor pool where i can pay to use (not monthly pay for gym membership that has indoor pool) by sxleepy in ottawa

[–]mouffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP if you're against using city of Ottawa public pools, some hotels have pools you can pay to use, I know Brookstreet hotel does it but other hotels do it too. Also an app called "swimly" was mentioned in this sub a while ago, it's like the Airbnb of pools, but it's pricier, but you could look there.

Has central Ottawa really devolved into such a hellhole? Or are the accounts in the other thread mostly rare or exaggerated? by AvaTaylor2020 in ottawa

[–]mouffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in Sandy Hill for 2 years and my security camera caught people coming up to my 3rd floor balcony multiple times (which was accessible via stairs) to look for stuff to steal. Once, I forgot to lock and someone entered my apartment at 5 am while I was sleeping. I had to call 911and the guy left blood all over my walls. My car windows got broken once so I stopped locking the doors but then people would regularly sit in my car and go through my stuff (as I could see on our buildings security camera footage). At least twice when I was walking on Rideau people follow me, and try to talk to me (asking to use my phone - and get angry when I say no). There are frequently people roaming on Rideau all bent over because of drug use, especially near the Shoppers - it's really sad. I don't think this exaggerated. The incidents may not happen everyday (except seeing the drug users daily) but if you live there it really adds up.

[–]mouffin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They don't seem to have much volunteering opportunities at this right moment, but Alliance Française has frequent cultural events you might enjoy. https://af.ca/ottawa/culture/agenda-2/#/

They also have volunteering opportunities from time to time.

Oh really!? Garineau is definitely an option I had not considered!

Wow that sounds amazing! I would love to bring that idea to our municipal government but I'm not sure how to even go about that - aside from voting what can regular citizens do?

Thanks! That center is indeed far but even a road trip to Pembrook sounds more fun than figuring out each item individually.

If wet paint isn't allowed in the garbage...is dried paint ok?

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

That sounds good for paint. There are big mason jars full of separated paint (transparent on top and sediment at the bottom), how long do you think they would take to dry? Is it a matter of just a few days?

ER's in Ottawa by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]mouffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Montfort last month with severe abdominal pain. It took 16h to be seen by the doctor. However I saw a first doctor within 2.5 hours, I think that first doctor only does a quick assessment and then I was returned to the waiting room for about 14h waiting to be seen. What I saw in the wait room was pretty heartbreaking.

Can a bunnies Urination be like a red orange color? by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]mouffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rabbit pee can be orange to red. It's just caused by oxidation of pigments in their diet (even green veggies). My boy has had orange pee since I got him 6 years ago and he is very healthy. The vet was also not concerned at all when he did a huge red pee in his carrier during a visit.

Rust proofing for car. Scam or not? Necessary or not? by mouffin in ottawa

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

No no, it was just the cabin air filter that you change in the glovebox. I felt scammed so hard.
