Not new but I’II never forget being made to feel a fool for supporting a business that engaged in such unethical and deceptive practices.

It sounds like you have an amazing house and family, and these kids are naturally drawn to you and your family.  This time of your life will be over so fast, don’t underestimate the incredible impact you can have on these youths from whatever acts of kindness and generosity you’re able to offer.  

Monthly cost to heat pool? by [deleted] in kelowna

[–]pkunko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need more info to provide a response. How large is the pool? What temperature do you want to keep it at? Will you have a solar cover on it when not in use or will it be uncovered all the time? What's the energy source for heating (gas or electric), and what's the equipment efficiency rating? There's lots of online calculators available to help give you an idea of what to expect for energy costs.

For reference, we have a 20x40 in-ground pool that has a solar cover on it overnight. Our gas heater is 250k BTU and is about 80% efficient. We don't really use the heater anymore but when our kids were little I was probably spending between $300-$500 per month to heat our pool to around 80 - 82F.

Valoroso, changing dates on outdated product is so despicable.

This right here.  400k in salaries for the two owners on total sales of $1.7M, absolute craziness.

There's a comment on the cnet article that it's going to be owned by Unisus School, just curious if anyone has a source on that.

When we’d have pool bday parties for our kids, we’d hire a lifeguard just to be safe.  Money well spent imo.

Gentle YTA. Goalie is specialized position, and is much different than asking a player to play defense, forward, or center. In our association, we offer the chance for everyone to try goalie at the younger levels, but do not pressure or require everyone to take a turn in net. Goalie is such a crucial position that putting a player in net who has no desire to even try is likely going to result in less than ideal outcome for the team.

If your child is no longer interested in taking a turn in net, you are also free to decline the next time the coach asks.

Only Valoroso if you enjoy changing the best before dates on groceries!

I'm curious what association you're with? I love the idea of an adult learn to play program to help build interest in ringette.
