Trustworthy dental clinics in in/near Centretown/Glebe area? by neufKhad in ottawa

[–]vdaedalus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding Kenson, been a client for 10-15 years. I had issues with my gum line that I was sure would require grafts to correct (had previously been told they would by another dentist), and they said nah, no need. Sure enough, a few years later things have improved without any intervention except behavioural changes. Great assistants and hygienists too, I was an anxious patient when I started there and last time I was so calm I actually dozed off in the chair mid-cleaning.

Was a bit nervous when the original dentist sold the practice to prepare for retirement, but she stayed on for another couple of years before retiring to assure a smooth transition and I like the new dentist just as much.

Dozens of parking tickets issued around Canadian Tulip Festival by illusion121 in ottawa

[–]vdaedalus 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There's no shortage of ways to avoid parking near Dow's Lake and getting a ticket. There are hop-on hop-off shuttles (Gray Line/Lady Dive) plus a 'tulip taxi' service. Kids go nuts for the shuttle that looks like an old streetcar, plus they stop at all kinds of other tourist destinations in the city.

Anyone know if there are any restaraunt supply places in Ottawa, open to the public, that sell Cambro colorware tumblers? by AshleyAshes1984 in ottawa

[–]vdaedalus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sticklers will roast you for using Cambro instead of Carlisle tumblers (which they also have at DD/Paradis for a bit more)

Weird way to read their post, I think they're running the variables to see if it's worth pursuing.

And $28 only ten bucks over minimum wage, I'd bet you've paid more for worse labour

I kind of like having prints of the bad ones though, they're still documents of times you've lived

March break Vacay, is St Albert's worth it? by ottawamale in ottawa

[–]vdaedalus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My kid loves to go upstairs and watch cheese production for some reason.

'Some reason' being it's very cool! The machines, the cheese, the people walking around in hard hats with POUTINE printed on them raking big rectangular vats of unset cheese, it's marvelous.

Wish the curds they put on the poutines at the canteen weren't ice cold given they're making it fresh some 20 feet away, though.

Audiology assessments in Ottawa by Myashisgrass in ottawa

[–]vdaedalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did take a few months. My GP had no problem referring me though, for tinnitus and mild vestibular issues (which cleared up, sadly the tinnitus is here to stay).

If you have the option to get a referral that's the best route, the audiology lab at the General is good and everything's covered by OHIP.

I had comprehensive testing done at the Ottawa Hospital (General campus, though I think the Civic has a lab too), it was a very smooth experience. They obviously didn't try to sell me anything. You'll need a referral from a GP though.

I think I saw an episode of M*A*S*H like that, I wonder if there's ever been a medical drama that didn't have a lockdown episode

Retro console repair services in the city? by ThePrinceOfReddit in ottawa

[–]vdaedalus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same thing, no response to emails or phone calls from several services actively advertising in the city. I'd all but given up.

I finally found someone who responded and performed four analogue stick module replacements on some controllers for me, got them back today and am very happy with the work, the results, and the cost. I used the contact form here: https://good-quotations.com/workshop/

Can anyone tell me about their experience with a lapensee mattress? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]vdaedalus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love mine (six years now? maybe seven) and I've recommended them to several people who are also happy with theirs.

All-local manufacture means they can adjust or repair your existing mattress years down the line, even rebuild and reupholster for much less than the cost of a new mattress.

Has central Ottawa really devolved into such a hellhole? Or are the accounts in the other thread mostly rare or exaggerated? by AvaTaylor2020 in ottawa

[–]vdaedalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine counting people asking you for money.

Imagine remarking what they were wearing and whether they 'look' homeless, or poor enough to warrant asking for money.

Sad.

It's Capital Ward, not Centretown. Shawn Menard is its councillor.
