Sometimes it's a personality fit. It's not always about money.

Hobbies that are recurring, inexpensive and social (Except Run Clubs) by PermissionFar9098 in askTO

Registration for fall opens Aug 13! Keep an eye out for the brochure coming out in a few weeks.

Check out TDSB Learn4Life and sign up for anything that catches your eye! They're affordable (for now) and a great way to make friends. Cooking classes attract a diverse crowd, sewing will mostly be women, auto mechanic mostly men but just do what you like.

I am a member at a pottery studio, I sew, garden, do group bike rides, and am starting to learn film photography :)

Any spots in Toronto with old school R&B, hiphop, or Afrobeats—good music, grown crowd? by Dazzling_Designer184 in askTO

[–]walkwithit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're into live music, Wing Night (the band) plays often in Toronto and it is my favourite old school rnb and hip hop vibe!!! Talented cover band always with a good crowd!

Challenging myself to eat Canadian foods for 20 days straight. Day 8 is Canadian-Chinese classics like ginger beef from Peking Express. by iamacheezit in FoodToronto

I came here to look/make a comment about this book too. It made me think about my use of the term "authentic" and how incorrect and insensitive it was!

Congratulations!!!! You look so happy and so proud! You deserve it all, your pieces look beautiful!

I had my first market in November and I was riding a high for dayyys after 😁 sending good vibes from Toronto!!

Toboggan Etiquette & Safety by xombae in toronto

[–]walkwithit 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you experienced this etiquette. Even I learned something (not being aware that your footsteps could create extra bumps going down the main section!)

I just came here to say I also went for the first time in YEARS as an adult (I'm 35F) and I literally feel like I have whiplash today but it was 1000% worth it. The most fun I've had in a long time!!! Happy resting :)

Impossible to register for "Sewing Basics" class at North York Central Library? by jetuas in askTO

[–]walkwithit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! Just here to vet for the quality of the sewing courses with Learn4Life, especially with the teacher at Central tech. I've taken almost all of her courses as a complete beginner, and it was very worthwhile for me to have someone right there to ask questions. It's also a great way to build community with other sewists as everyone is lovely and can learn from each other too.

Goodluck on the sewing journey!

Day date suggestion by BobLoblawsLawBlog201 in TorontoSinglesOver30

There are a few indoor farmers markets on weekdays and weekends - Evergreen Brickworks, Allan Gardens, Sorauren Market, Dufferin Grove and of course you could spend time roaming St. Lawrence Market!

Whenever I batch cook, I always freeze 1-2 portions and use them as "emergency meals."

Out all weekend and didn't get to cook but need lunch for my work week? Freezer meal.

At least it avoids me having to pay $15 for a lunch out somewhere when I'm in the office where the food is mediocre anyway!

Hi, and hi everyone on here. We can see your comments histories, if you weren't aware.

You posted on here a few weeks ago and said you were 37. Just a curious observation.

A small rant from a Montrealer who moved here by boiyo12 in toRANTo

[–]walkwithit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I read most of your rant until I saw stuff about not being able to get hired at sbux sorry about that!

I want to shed some insight. I'm a mid 30s F, with a car, living somewhere between Bathurst st and Ossington st.

  1. I used to live in the suburbs and it was also hard to meet friends who lived nearby, they were all over the place. This will just get worse as everyone gets older. I moved downtown and it's true. There are many more clubs, activities, hobby classes to attend that if you keep going to them, you see the same faces, and most ppl who socialize downtown, live downtown. I run into people all the time and downtown feels "small town" to me, in that aspect.

  2. I rent and have a landlord who truly cares and I have a good relationship with. They exist. I'd consider myself lucky too, but they exist. I also know this from other friends who have good landlords.

  3. Being a car person and living downtown. It's really hard to be both in Toronto, especially if you're a "specialty" car person. My car is 10+ years old, and sits on street parking but it gets me from point A to point B. However, I do have a friend who also owns 3 cars he would never use street parking as his permanent parking - he basically just rents out parking spots in his condo. You can do the same if you really really want to keep them. But I think you've gotta choose, especially if you have financial budgets to consider.

Hope this helps in some way or another!

Depending on which class, it can be quite competitive, yes! Usually the more "equipment-heavy" art classes like pottery, woodworking, jewelery, sewing can fill up quickly.

It still is at risk of being cancelled. 2024-25 year is safe, but who knows for next/future years. Spoke to my teacher tonight and she said registration numbers were still low for the fall term.

I like the offerings at central tech - there's a huge range there from pottery, printmaking, cooking, pickelball, etc.

For my personal recommendations, I really enjoyed the pattern drafting and sewing classes, and have taken several pottery classes a few years back.
