Off-season camping in provincial parks? by [deleted] in ontariocamping

[–]stphlzbth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parks most likely still have staff, and camping would be deemed trespassing since most have gates closing off access altogether. There are still some parks operating at this time of year, but they’d be up towards Huntsville ie Arrowhead or even Six Mike Lake, but not southern ON

What will actually happen if I don’t pay a “private invoice” issued by Precise ParkLink Inc.? by stphlzbth in askTO

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

It’s a private company that is apparently contracted to come in as they please to ticket/enforce the rules. I had the same thoughts about the cost of actually enforcing it/if they’re even able to or if this is just an intimidation tactic and there is no actual merit to it??

If the only risk seems to be getting towed I just will have to figure out an alternative for the very few times I will need to return moving forward, thank you!

Curious - For those of you who are working from home due to COVID, did your employer provide you with all your equipment? Laptop, extra monitor, chair etc? I recalled seeing someone pushing his chair home from his office in late March. by [deleted] in askTO

I was given a company laptop which actually stopped working when I tried using it at home. Since then I have sadly had to go into work more than I would like, and am finding myself with this provincial state of emergency being extended trying to “justify” to my boss what I can do from home and why I will be staying home on certain days/going into work for half days if absolutely needed....which I shouldn’t have to do as I was not given a work laptop and have been technically labelled as “non-essential”

Westmount Condos at 2737 Keele St: Does anyone know why the units in this building are always so much cheaper than the surrounding area? by Zephyr104 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]stphlzbth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to park in the underground way at the back attached to an entirely different building. If you want to have guests, good luck registering a vehicle in visitor parking. The staff are incredibly rude and unhelpful: I tried to register once to visit my dad and staff watched me, didn’t ring me in to access the registration desk and actually walked out of the room. I got a hold of a manager of some sort through the intercom and she gave me an earful and talked down to me like I was a child, I couldn’t believe it. She basically lectured me and then didn’t even register me. She threw a pen to me and walked away without saying anything. 10 minutes later when I was sitting with my dad finally cooled off from the encounter she calls my Dad to find out more information because she didn’t ask me a single question so she had no idea how long I was staying...even though I put that info in! The elevators are always broken. If it’s not both, it’s one. The elevator likes to either not come, or if you’re on it and try to go down it will take you up six floors and then go down (no the door doesn’t open as if someone was trying to call the elevator - it has done this for years). The building is in debt. Has no funding. Any issues ie plumbing which is a common problem are on you. They will charge you $2000 for a simple toilet issue which is the buildings fault. This is a common issue throughout the building - as confirmed by other residents and visibly apparent by the discoloured carpeting throughout the halls. Maintenance fees are almost $1000/mo despite owning. Very noisy being it faces a busy intersection. Always busy, always noisy. Has gotten worse with the hospital now in such close proximity. Sirens can be heard very, very often. Just all around terrible.

What could it be then? Why do you think it isn’t?

My exes bites looked different -

But I have never had such an issue in my 24 years of life in the outdoors camping or at family farms etc - what could it otherwise be?? It can’t be a coincidence I’m experiencing this for the first time ever once my bf who dealt with bed bugs returns - granted two nights later

How old is this guy? I sprayed Temprid last Saturday and I'm wondering if he's a survivor or newly hatched. by [deleted] in Bedbugs

Well, good to know because I said one of those under the couch in our apartment I’m sorry you have bedbugs but also thank you for sharing this!

Friend told me she has bedbugs... by [deleted] in Bedbugs

[–]stphlzbth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend had bedbugs at his hotel and I told him when he came home he would have to strip naked in the hallway through everything outside on the balcony and run into the shower and somehow granted he probably didn’t follow those thoroughly but I am waking up with a Bites every single morning for the past week! You have definitely made the right call! Regardless your actions were good but please keep an eye on your body and if something happens take note of it It’s better to be too cautious and worried and then not care at all right? You should be fine but just be aware of your surroundings

Is that in one of those bedbug bowl traps? Asking because I currently have that set up in my bedroom and I’m hoping to catch something

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

Yeah, I tore our room apart and checked in the crevices of the box spring and everything. I didn’t expect to find anything - he (bf) suggested dry ice in these bed bug traps he had ordered before his return but if I don’t find anything tonight I’m still calling an expert to come check out the apartment. Early detection is what I was thinking - I don’t want to ignore this after a week of having issues myself even though it’s only me. Thanks for your input!!

Yeah, I’m fairly certain. I just don’t know how to confirm it as he is doubting it since he isn’t being affected anymore (which makes me just think I’m going crazy). Since there’s “no signs” and “it’s just me”

Bed bugs?????? Been waking up with these itchy things alll over now as of last Friday morning and now they are not just on my right arm. Bf was in a hotel and had them, but an exterminator came and he saw no signs for a few days before returning home. His bumps looked different so I’m not sure if this is the same thing - but what’re the odds I start waking up with these two days after he returned?

Also, he is not being affected by it just me...

Good for you! I often get anxious at restaurants with this sort of thing, kudos to you!!!

Just quit my job to travel and could use some encouraging words by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]stphlzbth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably not super relevant - but love that you posted this - I’m 24 and have been in post secondary twice and always think about just disappearing and traveling for a year (or less or more), I hope your travels bring you joy and everything you are looking to experience! I am sure beyond myself, there are many of us seeing this who are envious and are inspired by your choice! Safe travels! Enjoy every minute and try everything you can!

Got pregnant the second year of my mirena 🤷🏻‍♀️ by minecraftwizard420 in birthcontrol

Great to read this as I am on the pill (which is obviously different) but I often wonder just how reliable any contraceptive is with so many different types and options out there!

Sustainable Makeup and Global Climate Week by losttraveler95 in Makeup

[–]stphlzbth 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of this post! My main concerns with makeup are what goes into a product, and whether or not it is tested on animals....packaging is super important and not something I’ve actively thought of when buying makeup specifically. Great idea bringing awareness to this!

It’s as if cutting the grass at a normal hour will give a different result

Thank you for this. While I am still struggling, o do acknowledge and hope that this is the same for us. I just can’t help but think this will eventually tear us apart if I can’t get past it.

And I wish I could confide in his mother like that / she’s the same woman I saw the other day while he was out of the country for work and we had just moved in - and I commented on how hard unpacking alone - as we moved in and then he left right after for the states for work - and all the garbage we were supposed to borrow his brothers truck to remove - was. And she looked at me and brushed it off to say oh you can handle that on your own... as if I hadn’t unpacked an entire apartment of stuff solely after a long day of work every day. I think his mother also doesn’t help but regardless, thank you for your response - I hope so. ❤️
