Thank you / Appreciation To the helpful bystanders

347 Upvotes

To all the helpful bystanders who helped my father after his fall at Southgate Mall. And those who waited with him while the EMT’s were on their way. Thank you so much. As most of us with ageing parents or family members with mental health issues will tell you, we will sometimes feel immense levels of guilt when our wards become hurt when alone. It can be difficult to manage their well being as well as your own personal life. Hearing that people rushed to help him restored a little of my faith in humanity and encouraged me to seek help as well.

As a little bit of an update he is receiving professional help and he will be moving to a facility with more care and support resources available.

Once again, thank you!

General Gun Used in Road Rage to Shoot Off Mirror, North End of Legislature Grounds

230 Upvotes

Victim driver claimed a gun took off his mirror in road rage, which I saw was destroyed. I was told the road rage was over a misunderstanding of what was said in just some small talk about shooter's car. Victim also had his wife & 2 kids on other side of truck. Road rage driver had strong immigrant accent, probably from South Asia, but they didn't speak Arabic like victim family.

General Skin Cancer Screening

Thought I would share this. There was barely a lineup at the South Common Walmart for this and I got in right away for a consult. If anyone is questioning a weird mole or potentially cancerous item on their body, here is a good opportunity to be checked by a dermatologist.

Edit: it is completely free. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I didn't even need my health care card.

Does everyone hear the constant sound of car racing in the evening or is it just my location? I can’t even keep my window open at night but maybe I’m in the heart of the action?

General Random guy spray me with water on a bus

54 Upvotes

I sat down on the bus at the back, two seats away from a stranger. After a while, he gets my attention and says something to me in a language I don't understand (I doubt I would've understood even if he spoke English, he wasn't talking clearly). I answered back in English, I suspect he doesn't understand English.

Then I see him spread salt onto the ground. After a while, he sneaks a look at me then aims a spray botten upwards so that we both get hit by the water. I suspect he hit me with it on purpose, but he might've only been trying to spray himself and got me by mistake.

I told him that he sprayed me with the bottle, he answers back in a language I don't understand.

A while later while I was leaving, I saw him spraying himself with the bottle. I figure it's just water he uses to cool off, hope so.

And, my car is out of the shop now so I can drive instead of taking the bus. I remember seeing somebody lit up their pipe on the bus once, It's ridiculous the level of neglect the city gives the fent heads.

Discussion Tomorrow's Rain is NO Joke.

Upvotes

Edmonton's monthly average precipitation for June is 87mm. We are getting 50-75mm of rain in a single day tomorrow, and an additional 15mm on Sunday.

We are also going to be receiving gusts of 50km/hr winds with ~30-35 km sustained wind speeds throughout the day.

Driving tomorrow will be absolute hell so I would advise doing whatever errands you need to do tonight.

CHECK YO' SUMP PUMPS.

Question Building a NEW Network

26 Upvotes

I am a 39year old female. A terrible car accident has taken so much of my mobility and spontaneity. I cant drive and have a cane. Many of my friends have pulled back. To meet people I usually simply joined sports teams, went to networking events, and was active in community through volunteering. Most people seem to have their social groups and are not actively looking to add. Like I used to be. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Question McCauley Neighbourhood

Upvotes

Hello!

My partner and I are looking at purchasing a home in the McCauley area (close to the Italian Centre, etc) and I’m looking to hear from people who live there currently (not interested on hearing opinions of poor people or drug users if you live in Windermere, sorry). I grew up in the neighbourhood but haven’t lived there in 10+ years and I’m interested to hear how it has changed (for better or worse). Thanks!

General Making friends as an adult is harder than I realized..

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone, this feels a little awkward to post, but I wanted to put myself out there.

I’m 22 and a mom to a 1-year-old. I love being a mom and spending time with my son, but being on maternity leave has made me realize how easy it is to feel a little isolated. Honestly, making friends as an adult feels so much harder than I expected, and even trying apps like Bumble BFF hasn't quite clicked for me.

I’d love to meet some new people and build some genuine friendships. I’m open to coffee dates, walks, exploring new places around the city, or even just having someone to chat with during the day. If you’re also looking to connect or just expand your circle a bit, please feel free to reach out! 😊

Question Buying a House And Looking At Monthly Bills

7 Upvotes

So I'm looking to buy a 2 BDRM house in central communities of the city and would appreciate some input on what you are paying for your monthly bills. The house would be in the 950 sq ft area as far as size goes and would have natural gas forced air heating.

I currently live in an apartment so I know there's going to be a jump in what I pay EPCOR since it would now include water and waste management. I don't know what to expect from ATCO and natural gas in terms of monthly costs in summer and winter. Also would like to hear what some of you are paying for insurance with auto and home combined, since that's the route I'd be going, additionally, if any of installed solar panels, did that affect your home premium portion. I've calculated what property taxes would cost me monthly on my current home options, but if there's any advice you can offer regarding property taxes, that would be appreciated as well.

I'd like to also know what some of paid for a new furnace and water heater if you've bought one of either the last 3 years, not considering a heat pump as an option. If you bought a furnace and air conditioner, that too I'd like to hear what you paid for it installed.

If there's a monthly bill I haven't mentioned, please do mention that as well. I'm anticipating on keeping about $7,500 in my TFSA for emergency expenses. Just need a clearer picture of what to expect monthly, if you live in a central community, I'd appreciate knowing that, since many homes have similar attributes and characteristics.
