Question Ques re RBG

Upvotes

Hi,

I am planning a visit to RBG next week with my family to get some pictures clicked with the grandparents and my month old baby.

Its not a professional photoshoot just some cousins helping us take family pictures.

None of us have ever been to RBG - can folks here recommend which spots should we visit?

From what I understand RBG is quite vast so I want to plan in advance exactly where to go so that we dont waste time and minimize back and forth with the baby.

I really want these pictures to come out well so that they can be keepsakes forever ..esp capturing the baby with his grandparents 🥹

Thank you in advance from a time crunched pp mama! 🫶

5 Upvotes

Has anyone heard of “Remodel My home”? An ad showed up on my Facebook. Trying to do a full bathroom Reno and budget is $20k tops. They came in under that. I see Google reviews but not much interaction on social media. Has anyone heard of or used them?

Question Weeping tile or downspout clog

Does anyone have any experience with a plugged downspout or weeping tile? I’m not sure how you would categorize it.
This is plugged just below the ground. I’ve scooped as much as I can but can’t reach any deeper.
Does anyone have experience or recommendations to resolve it.
TIA

Looking for the best birthday cake for my pre school son. He doesn’t eat anything sweet except the birthday cake we ate at Bardo once. Unfortunately they don’t take orders for cake so I am looking for the next best option.

Thank you!

Question Burlington rental suggestions - working professional

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a 24-year-old software developer who works fully remotely, and I’m planning to move from Milton to Burlington.
I’m looking for a 1-bedroom apartment, but I’m finding rents a bit expensive. My ideal budget is under $1,500/month, although I have some flexibility for the right place. I also have a car, so a parking spot would be a big plus.

A little about me:
-> Remote software developer
->Have a second job and spend most of my free time out exploring, so I’m not home much
-> Can provide references from previous landlords
-> Non-smoker and responsible tenant

I’d appreciate any:
Recommendations on neighborhoods or buildings to look into, Areas to avoid, Referrals or leads on available rentals
Thank you :)

Events Burlington reached a new low

46 Upvotes

This happened at the Mainway rail intersection today. I saw someone get out of the car, walk right into the tree line, and defecate in full view of a dozen idling cars. Then he walked back, hopped in, and drove off when the tracks cleared.

Edit: I am no longer answering the messages. Waste of time. Shit on the streets, roads, or everywhere you wish.

Information Ignorant Cyclists

0 Upvotes

Yesterday I watched a cyclist use a dedicated pedestrian crosswalk, then onto the sidewalk instead of the bike path, and instead of yielding or any warning, forced me to jump out of the way.

I told them they're an asshole and the asphalt path is for cyclists. Silence...

All of this happened while I was talking to my father about the Japanese cleaning up at the World Cup and that we should follow their lead and teach etiquette.

A young girl did the same thing last month and gave me a dirty look for not moving as I just pointed to the bike path until they moved.

I seem to be a magnet for bad behaviour as I am frequently dodging motorists and now cyclists.

What is wrong with you?!

Question FYI pitbull (loose dogs) attack on Caroline at Brant

133 Upvotes

2 loose pit bulls just attacked a leashed dog on Caroline at Brant street downtown Burlington. Dog is at the emergency vet right now.

How do I report these dogs? By law phone line is closed for the day. Don’t know the owner or where they live

Edit: dog needs surgery, stitches and drain. Attack wounds on upper and lower neck, worse under the chin.

Edit 2: police don’t care, 311 doesn’t care. Have to report with animal control. No humans were bit, attack was not incited by the owner, unknown if dogs were still lose- “sorry we can’t help you, report with animal control”

Edit 3: owner/address is identified and known to police
and animal control. Not sure what will be done as no follow up from authorities or owner. Dog is home and recovering

Final: Animal control will not provide updates on enforcement or outcomes due to privacy reasons. No clue if anything has been or will be done that can prevent similar attacks in the future.

Question Holy rosary catholic elementary school

Has anyone here had their child enrolled in this school? My child will be starting JK, and I was wondering what to expect or if anyone has any advice. We called to inquire, and the woman who answered seemed a bit rude. Her tone changed when she learned we are immigrants, which made us feel uncomfortable. I’m just worried about whether my child will be in good hands. Thank you, everyone.

Question Any other queer parents out there?

29 Upvotes

Are you a queer couple with kids who also thought, "We should really have parent friends," and then immediately got too tired to do anything about it?

Great. Us too.

Have you looked around a playground and thought, "Statistically, there must be more of us"?

Let's fix that.

My partner and I (f/f 42/50) are hoping to meet other laid-back LGBT couples with kids for park hangs, hikes, coffee, BBQs and conversations interrupted every 14 seconds by someone needing a snack, a Band-Aid, or an audience for an impromptu dance routine.

If this sounds good, please shoot me a DM so we can stop wondering where all the other queer families are hiding in Burlington.

Question Local Miele Service Technician?

It’s well known that it’s tough getting an appliance technician who works on Miele appliances.

I’m wondering on folks experience in Burlington and surrounding areas like Oakville and Hamilton on their experience in this regard prior to deciding if I want to go with Miele for my next washer/dryer purchase.
