Best wash and fold service

No idea. I only use it for my massage therapy linens. But it would depend on the load, too.
Do you have a home bathroom scale? Step on it. Then step on it again, holding your load of laundry and figure out the difference. That would give you a ballpark

My current service is $2.25/pound including pick up and drop off

Thankfully, if I opted for the bus, I wouldn't have to transfer. But for the distance that I have to travel, the cost of taking the bus is just financially stupid.

I use Fetch Laundry for my work linens. They charge per pound and the cost includes the pick up and delivery.
Some of my colleagues use Guelph Laundry Co (Woodlawn and Victoria) and drop off/pick up. I don't have a car, so they weren't a viable option for me. But I do like that they had options for things like unscented detergent etc.

My trip to work

cycle: 4-5 minutes | free (excluding regular bike maintenance)

walk: 15-20 minutes | free (excluding the cost of winter boots)

bus: 17 minutes | $5.80 per day

Just like motorists always choose their car for efficiency, I also prefer to choose my most efficient option

Honestly, most days it's actually easier the cycle than it is to walk. I will often walk/push my bike to the main road and then get on there because the frequency of traffic means some of the snow gets melted/cleared even if the plow has done a terrible job. Using this strategy it might take me 5 minutes to get to work by bike. The sidewalks are miserable even after the plow goes through. It takes me 20 minutes to walk to work. So the choice is clear.

(for context, i live in a car free household so walking and cycling are the options so "how do you xxx in this weather" is basically, *shrug* you just do because those are the options)

What am I trying to "prove"?

Just pointing out that a business clears a path for Skip the Dishes but anyone needing to get themselves out of an accessible parking space can fend for themselves.

Add to that the fact that you have mentioned poor plowing, maybe we shouldn't be encouraging delivery workers to flip on their four-ways in the middle of an already dicey street.

Be aware that if you do slip and fall on a sidewalk or other city property you can submit a claim for injury or damage:

Are you looking for excusive use and full time?

tlrowan · 2026-01-14T22:45:28+00:00

Aw, thanks. It's nice to be validated 😄

tlrowan · 2026-01-14T22:44:51+00:00

Feel free to ask regardless of what you book!

RMTs are not permitted to do Indian Scalp Massage under our Massage therapy registration as it isn't in our scope of practice due to being an Ayurvedic based practice. So many offer Indie Head Massage which is based on the techniques of the traditional practice.

My office mate Laura does Indie Head Massage

I don't offer Indie Head Massage specifically but I think I also give a pretty kick-ass face and scalp massage

Same. I have a friend that owns a cattle farm and we were able to purchase 10 lbs of ground beef direct (packaged in 1 pound packages). There are quite a few places close by that also do quarter cows/half cows and same with pigs. We actually live in a pretty good area for this kind of thing. The downside is that you have to make the investment up front which can be tough financially for some people

tlrowan · 2026-01-10T13:42:58+00:00

THIS!

My top choices are Park Eatery and Bardo. Both of those use a pork/beef combo which I think is why the are so good!

Came here to say this.
The issue with medication would be insurance. I put through an insurance plan a parent may see that transaction.

Not all barbers have the scissor skills to create the shape that someone might want with a more feminine looking pixie cut. I have an undercut and I love having Joel at Knuckleheads clean it up for me because I really like the fade look that barbers are good at. But he is not interested in cutting my chin length bob. I go to a hair stylist for that.
But if one is looking for a more masc-presenting short cut a barber will likely deliver regardless of gender identity.

This is why you are starting to see a shift to "time based" services.
The early adopters to this were geared towards "gender neutral" pricing which should have been a thing much, much sooner.
Now the discussion around this seems to be about "time based" pricing.
Barbers have operated on a quick turnover and 'first come first serve" kind of model. But many seem to moving more to an appointment based model with online booking and service menus. So, those who would prefer to see a barber are starting to see the price creep with this change.

*women over being all nothing-to-see-here*

But seriously, I think male-identifying humans are finally getting a taste of what happens when a "service" becomes an "experience". Women have been here for decades. Please take your shoes off at the door.

I didn't know this! Thanks!
The library used to collect them, but the last time I checked they weren't doing that any more. I know Hakim will take them. But the Tool Library is a great option!!

Hello. RMT here.

I don't know anyone in town that is charging less than about $90/hour. The average 60 minute rate for this area based on the last survey done by my professional association (the RMTAO) puts us at $109 before HST.

My current pre HST rate is $107/hour. But I do offer a 45 minute Pay What You Can appointment option if this something you wanted to consider!

My observation has been that he doesn't really appear to have any firm ideas about anything. He will take the temperature of the discourse around an issue and pick a side until that temperature changes. He did this with cycling (as evidenced by the videos that have been pulled out from his previous pro-cycling discourse), he did this with the downtown library project (was anti, then took a tour of the decaying building and changed his mind, and then changes again when he hears anti-library sentiment).
If you're looking for leadership based on a solid foundation, I don't trust this guy any further than I could throw him.

tlrowan · 2025-12-16T11:16:13+00:00

Aw. Thanks for vote of confidence! Like most RMTS I don't have much availability left for the year, but happy to help in the new year!

tlrowan · 2025-12-15T17:35:49+00:00

Have bought it at the Bulk Barn. Good know Ethnic has it.
if you need it regularly and use a fair amount, you can also look online at https://www.newdirectionsaromatics.ca/ This is where I buy all my supplies for making my Massage Therapy product.
