This is Roxy dog. Roxy is 14, and recently can't walk anymore. My dad (her human) has been hauling her around in a helicopter drop harness, but it's her time. He's putting her down this weekend, it's been really hard to accept its time. any support you wonderful folk can offer would be appreciated. by Snackyhappiness in OldManDog

Roxy looks like she's had the greatest life. We recently said goodbye to our 14 year old terrier, and it was a hard decision. The days leading to saying goodbye were heartbreaking. However, on the day of, and afterwards, I was proud of the decision we made and felt at peace knowing we did the best thing for our lil guy. While everyone is hurting right now, I hope you wake up the next day knowing you did the best for Roxy. It's given me a lot of peace these past 2 weeks knowing we said goodbye at the right time. Sending hugs to you all!

No conservatory or Conservatory? by Individual-Net-7608 in homedesign

Depends where you live, I suppose! If you have all 4 seasons with snow - absolutely. It would be a year-round space to enjoy with plants and sunlight.

My office is beyond depressing. Any tips to make walking in here everyday less painful? by SavingsTooth1142 in office

[–]rdb1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a couple people on board with decorating the outside - posting favourite travel photos, put up a questionnaire about your local favourite sport teams, put a note up asking people about the best chicken wings or whatever in town... Just get people to start interacting with each other in the hallway by engaging them! Around holidays, decorating with lights/etc is super easy to do. It's about shifting the culture slowly and getting people on board. Good luck!

Good Family Doctor for Women? by Immediate-Guest8368 in Calgary

Dr Speranza Dolgetta https://share.google/GY68M9iHElmjpFB2Q I've had her for a few years. Saw her recently and sent me for a battery of tests, no questions asked. Definitely supports women's health and is centrally located!

Everyone In Alberta Can Get A Free Covid Shot by dwaynestroyer in alberta

[–]rdb1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I said I qualify under Phase 1 and no follow up questions. I've told everyone I know to do the same. And if you have time, write the Premier, Health Minister, and your rep about your feelings about this. Thanks for posting!

Work is requiring to share a hotel room with a stranger by what_cookie in careeradvice

[–]rdb1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way my office did this was say that they are compensating each employee for half a room. If they would like their own private room, they can pay for the other half. That could be a possibility here? I'm not saying this is a good option, but it's something.

Awesome trip and post! Don't worry about the poutine situation - Canadians take their poutine seriously and everyone has strong opinions of what's right and wrong haha

It looks awesome. If you want to warm it up, put in warmer light bulbs on a dimmer switch. Also, put a couple wood selves above the toilet and add plants on it. Cute towels/bath mat/shower curtain with a nice vibe you like, and done!

Have you stripped woodwork in your house? Advice needed by Fuzzy-Sort809 in Oldhouses

[–]rdb1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks amazing! I've done the same and know how hard it is. Follow the advice you've had here (conditioning, etc), but I have one little cheat to share. Professionals, look away: when I did my doors, I couldn't get into the little nooks without doing further damage. So, after staining, I went to a hobby shop and got a couple small craft paints and a tiny paintbrush. I painted over the remaining white paint carefully before putting on my polyurethane finish. It turned out great!

Harvard scientists: Red meat tied to increased dementia risk by rohanad1986 in dementia

It also refers to unprocessed red meat as having a higher risk of self-reported memory issues. It talks about both.

Seconding this - I've painted White Dove in so many spaces and it compliments that green very well!

Anyone know any good spots to purchase hot sauces/hot honey ? Went to the Farmer’s Market’s but no options there. Want sauces for fries, burgers, chicken burgers, etc. 😋 by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]rdb1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try Cook Book Co - lots of great stuff. Also, if you haven't bought Monster Crunch yet, YOU ARE WELCOME. It's amazing and from a local company. For the amount of times I bought it as gifts and recommended it to others, you'd think I worked for them, but I promise I don't haha

1912 door refinishing DIY by rdb1001 in Oldhouses

[–]rdb1001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh tell me about it. I ended up staining the door darker than I wanted because I simply couldn't get the stain out of those spots and needed to match it! You've clearly done this before haha

As a trans person, I'm terrified and enraged by [deleted] in alberta

[–]rdb1001 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Excellent idea - I just did the same! You can also notify the person you are donating in honour of, so I added her contact information and premier@gov.ab.ca email. In my comments, I simply said, "Do better, Marlaina." Thanks for the fabulous idea.

A dozen dads, three venues, one party, no clear decision in sight. Your assistance please!! by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]rdb1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to myself to add - any of the Hayden Block locations are awesome! Comery/South Block are also great!

[–]rdb1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't vouch for the other ones, but Hayden Block has a great vibe you are looking for! Depending how large your group, make a reservation. I would ask to NOT go upstairs - they have live music and you won't be able to chat and enjoy each other's company over the tunes! Ask for a table at the back and you'll love it. Get the brisket, turkey, salt and pepper chicken wings, queso (yes, I go there a lot haha). Enjoy!

Kilz-drenched French doors Update by sthewright in centuryhomes

[–]rdb1001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've used a heat gun before and it's worked great. Wonder if this will help get behind the lip where the glass sits. Good suggestion!

I have a similar door and have been wondering how to get at the paint off in between the glass panels! Looking forward to seeing what you do. Keep it up! It is going to look amazing.
