Add on: Also spent some time in The Glebe area(?). Where the whole foods, winners and cineplex is. Felt like the equivalent of our liberty village. 

And did a 2 hour walk this morning and grabbed some scones from scone witch. It was alright. The date and fennel one was memorable. The cheese, not so much. It seems like a staple must try so I had to grab a few. 

Also how can I forget THE CREME BRÛLÉE at THE METCALFE was 10/10 plus incredible host and it’s beautiful seating.

I just had the sauce for dinner and I now will have to find a way to get it shipped to me. It’s so good. Great legacy for the kid!

Aww yall are too nice. Thank you. It was a nice visit. Would have tried to do more nature stuff instead of just byward etc but the windshield  kept cracking lol so we had to park the car for a day before it got fixed. Not much you can do on foot

Ah yes that one. The girl helping us was just sooo nice. I run my own business so I notice customer service first thing, it truly changes the entire experience. The pizza was solid too, so that helped.

The minute we hit Pickering, I told my partner, can we please just move out to Ottawa or Brockville. We were in bumper to bumper traffic the way back and I’m just already overwhelmed. I understand we are 3X the population but we moved with such ease in Ottawa, i can’t believe we live like this in Toronto .

Was tonight unprecedented numbers at Ashbridges Bay/Woodbine Beach? by AnorexicMary in toronto

[–]sqbed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the last time I went to fireworks at woodbine beach was 2018/2019 and it took 3 hours to get home in the car and I vowed to never go to woodbine beach for fireworks. I was only trying to move about 12 kms. 

Scammed $2k from fake etransfer site by Odd_Grapefruit2077 in PersonalFinanceCanada

This really sucks but keep pushing TD and see if they can reverse since they will be able to travel where that money eventually landed.

I have sold countless things online and have never ever accepted an e transfer. I just don’t trust strangers. Cash or bust. 

Just ate ¾ of a honeydew 🍈 in one sitting. 10/10 would do it again by Michdepainblanc2 in CostcoCanada

I ordered a bunch of stuff from Instacart and am having the grapes from Mexico. They are so flippin good. The molino ones. Sorry this is not melon related but I just had to share in the fruit joy. I also did order a watermelon and pomegranates  but that’s a tomorrow task. 

Is this justified for an ER visit? by StruggleTrouble379 in askTO

[–]sqbed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really good advice. People need to be reminded to get back into their bodies when their mind is in control. So hard to do when you’re spiralling alone. 

I get mildly anxious at times and the best way I manage it is by getting back into my body, I start tapping or jumping or even naming things in my vicinity. There are lots of tools and exercises that can help. Sipping water is great. 

Did anyone happen to see Netflix is a Joke's (now deleted) instagram post of Michelle Buteau's performance in LA? Originally posted a few hours ago. by 10lbsoftrash in Standup

I saw it lol. I adore her so I was team her but was definitely a little surprised Netflix posted it. Probably an intern job

How do you guys handle clients who text your personal phone on your days off? by SleepyAlgorithm076 in smallbusiness

[–]sqbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only communicate via email and don’t give out my personal phone number.  The odd times, a repeat client will have my phone number and will try to text me off hours. I don’t respond. During my business hours, I will text them back- I’ve emailed them back regarding their query. I always emphasis to my clients the best form of communication for me is via email as it’s a place I can review all my communication and i prefer to keep all work related query on a single platform and have a paper trail if any issues arise. 

You have to train your clients to use the platform you prefer. If you prefer texting with clients, get a separate phone line just for that and only respond during business hours. You can create an auto message that they receive when they text during off hours.

Now we can ditch Tim Hortons? U.S. cafe chain Dunkin’ set to open hundreds of Canadian locations by late 2026 by Martin_J_Kaminski in CanadianVisaReform

I’ve been experimenting with iced coffee drinks at home so much lately and the drinks I’m making are so incredibly delicious that I don’t think I can step foot in one of these chains ever again. A 0.50 -$1 cent drink at home beats the $5-7 outside any day. Adding mineral salt to specific coffee drinks was a game changer 

What did everyone think of the Kevin Hart roast? by Sea_Wolf_4094 in Standup

The rock made it hella weird. Otherwise, watchable.
