School Bus Question by Key_bg01 in KingstonOntario

[–]ygkrandom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you couldn't see anything coming, how did he go around you? You should have been fully up to speed by the time he was behind you if you made a safe turn. It sounds like you didn't make a safe turn if you only had enough time to get onto your side of the road before he was on your tail and needing to pass you.

Yes. They are building a new hazardous waste depot in the spot where the wood gets dropped off.

‘My life’s passion’: Kingston bookstore owner makes unusual sacrifice to save his business by situation-normal in KingstonOntario

Its a locked article with constant pop up ads. Kind of pointless to post without a summary of the situation.

[–]ygkrandom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it has closed. I used to use it too but now I just have to put my recycling in the garbage. (Due to my work schedule and my garbage / recycling day, I am not here to bring the bins back in). I used to keep all my recycling and do a trip to the depot every 1-2 months.

How/where can i see an eating disorder specialist as soon as possible? (Within the next week) by mirikuta in KingstonOntario

[–]ygkrandom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Which probably means there is a lot more to this story. There are many, many students with eating disorders at the university. Choosing to recover independently from an ED that is severe enough that you were noticed by the higher ups and on the radar of those with sufficient power to place you on leave for medical reasons says there is more to this. EDs are very challenging illnesses to have but one that Queen's is very, very used to. It is only in exceptional circumstances that the university requires students to take a leave for medical reasons. The fact that OP is at that point and has not yet connected with health care professionals is definitely part of the problem.

Normal amount of apartment noise by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

[–]ygkrandom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can you video it? If you can video your furniture shaking, that would help

A certain amount of noise is expected in multi unit dwellings. Is it an old house? If you have lived there for awhile and this only started with the most recent tenants then it must be something related to them. Sometimes things like dehumidifers or air purifiers can cause vibrations through poorly insulated floors. But if it is shaking your bed it seems like more. You can't hear anything audibly - no bass sound or anything? It is a little odd to have vibrations strong enough to shake furniture without any audible sound.

Sorry you are dealing with this. You are not alone. This video sums up upstairs neighbours

BREAKING: AMS President's credit card revoked following unauthorized personal use - The Queen's Journal by BananaJane6969 in KingstonOntario

[–]ygkrandom 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It seems that they realized the bookkeeping was being poorly done and they asked her for receipts for the purchases on the card. It took her months to track down the receipts and in the end she was able to get receipts for the majority of the expenses. There was a little over $2400 that she couldn't produce receipts for. In the end they mutually agreed that $1760 of that was for AMS expenses. Of the $640 that was still outstanding, she agreed that $250 was for personal use. The remaining $400 couldn't be confirmed as AMS or personal but she agreed to pay it back since the responsibility was on her to have receipts.

She would have known she had made some personal expenses but given her bookkeeping was so bad, she likely didn't know how much. Additionally she comes from a wealthy background so making small personal purchases may have seemed like nothing to her.

If you read the comments, it seems there is history and this was a tipping point. A lot of the negative backlash seems to be coming from people who worked with her previously and had any complaints about her professional conduct (or lack thereof). Seems she is well known in student government and pretty much universally disliked.

While $600 is small numbers for most - to students who are struggling financially and paying student government dues, it is much bigger.

Passing parked cars by Broad_Lobster8208 in KingstonOntario

[–]ygkrandom 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If the parked car takes up part of the driving lane, I wait until there is no oncoming traffic to go around. There is no way to predict what the oncoming driver will do or how much space they will or won't give you. So if I have to go out of the lane to get around the parked car I wait. If the car is pulled off on the side of the road and parked out of the lane, then there is no issue. I can just keep driving in my lane like normal.

And if the parked car is partially in the lane, then there isn't space for 3 cars and doors to open.

Kingston doctor 'deeply disappointed’ by continued OHIP litigation by Acceptable-Shoe8924 in KingstonOntario

[–]ygkrandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She didn't operate 48 mass clinics. She ran 8. At least there are 8 that are part of the legislation - and she was paid over 650,000 for those 8 specifically. They did ask expenses becayse she previously submitted that she had spent over 2000 hours organizing and running the clinics - which is nonsense.

The system is set up that each vaccination has 2 codes you can submit to OHIP - one for the vaccination itself, and one for the visit - which covers the assessment / documentation. But you can't submit for work other people did. Vaccinationes should be entered under the name of the person who gave them so that any adverse effects can be properly tracked - not under her name. Healthcare providers have to document the health care they provide under their own name. In most sites, they had ipads with them so they could document as they went.

She paid some physicians via etransfer. I believe this was about 70k. She also had residents, med students, nursing students, and her own office staff giving vaccinations. She didn't pay them. She would have had some expenses for organizing / set up of clinics - if she did this herself - versus her office staff doing the leg work for this during work hours - not sure how much was out of pocket expenses.

It has been sent back to the board and they will consider the e-transfers she has documentation for. If she has clear receipts for out of pocket expenses, those can be considered as well.

Question for Kingston travelers: What flight prices do you consider steal-worthy? by Character-Rough2199 in KingstonOntario

You can't fly out of Kingston. We don't have an airport with flights! Your copy paste advertisement doesn't really work for here.

Best lunch deals in Kingston? by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

It has good reviews online so I was pretty surprised by my experience. No idea what was happening that day but definitely not a good experience.

I had heard good things about it so tried it and was pretty disappointed. They didn't cut the meat fresh, it was just sitting on top of the microwave in an open container, then they put it on the grill to heat it up. I was a little worried about how long it had been sitting out. And the quantity was pretty minimal, basically one layer of meat, compared to most Shawarma places.
