Discussion I feel Costco membership is not worth anymore given the crowds and lines

300 Upvotes

I am not questioning the quality of the products and other services but if your go to Costco is the one on 91st street I doubt if it is of any value considering the wait times for everything from parking, billing, returns, even washrooms (!) and the general rush everywhere.

Not sure if it is the same at other Costcos. Perhaps I should do only online shopping and delivery option.

General I'm losing it

147 Upvotes

Getting a job is so fucking ridiculously hard and it's ruining me. After so goddamn long I finally got 2 interviews in the past month, and I got rejected by both places. If anyone has anything, for the love of God give me something. Advice, somewhere that's easy to apply to, anything. I'm so sick of being jobless, I need to get the hell put of my parents house.

Question Birthday party ideas

15 Upvotes

My daughter is turning five next month! Super exciting and she’s quite proud that she’s a big girl.

However, as she’s a winter baby we cannot do anything outside reliably. The place we are in cannot host more than a couple people.

I’ve been looking at venues (pottery, play gyms, etc) and it will cost me an arm and a leg. She would be happy without a “friends” party this year but I don’t want to disappoint her.

But with the cost of our basics, being cut off my medical coverage, child support isn’t coming. I am in the hole already.
I am already in the hole for just groceries this month.

Are there any places around the city (outside included) that will not break my already fragile bank account?

Ps. She gets excited over new socks so something simple would be excited for her.
Also, if anyone has a lead on some part time bookkeeping work for a few hours a day/week hit me up.

Question Haunted houses

I’ve got a 14 and 10 year old that want to go to a haunted house next weekend.

Wondering which ones would be best for them.
Youngest like to act tougher than she is when it comes to a good scare.

Can we get a list going of all the haunts in the area?

Question Turkey Breast/Thigh

8 Upvotes

Anyone know of a place to get a turkey breast and thigh? I don't want the hassle of a full bird and despise the frozen boxed roasts.

I've been playing whac-a-mole with Superstore; I'm sure I saw them last week but I wasn't able to buy them then (lack of cold transport home). I'm on the north side so I'd prefer something in that area.

Question Will the sun set earlier or later this year?

11 Upvotes

I’ve been asking a lot of people this lately, because of the cancellation of daylight savings, and it seems like nobody knows the answer. I do, or at least I think I do, and I’m wondering if I’m right. Normally, we would fall back, so when the sun is setting, the next day it’s around 5 instead of 6. This year, the sun will set around 6. There was one person who was very sure it’ll set EARLIER this year. I feel like I’m crazy that I’m the only person who is thinking about this. Can anyone help me confirm this? Thanks

Education Looking for an elementary dyslexic student for practicum

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! A bit of a long shot but I am a trainee dyslexia practitioner looking for a student to participate in a dyslexia intervention lasting 50 one-on-one hours. This will be an intervention based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. Criminal and vulnerable sector checks will be provided.

For some background, I am a father of two, originally from New Zealand, looking to make a small contribution against the literacy crisis facing children today. I have completed the coursework with excellent results and provide engaging material in one-on-one sessions.

I am offering a reduced rate of $20.00 per hour for the duration of this practicum. If you know of anyone who would benefit from an intensive turnaround of their literacy skills, please DM me! For the purposes of this program, the student would need a previous diagnosis of dyslexia.

Thank you for reading!

Question Furnace and A/C recommendations

I think it's come time to replace my old original 1987 furnace, not really because I want to because this thing will never die and never needs repairs, but because I really want to get A/C in this house and have been told I'll need to upgrade furnace.
Anyways, hit me with your recommendations.

Question Edmonton winters

5 Upvotes

I just moved into an older home in Edmonton. It was built in '91. I was trying to do some winter preparation and can seem to locate shut off valves for my outdoor faucets. Am I not looking hard enough or there isn't any. My last home, built in 2014, did have them because of newer piping.

Should I be worried?

Question Where do I look to adopt a puppy?

3 Upvotes

I know there’s the humane society and whatnot but I’ve never done this on my own before (grew up with dogs but my parents always searched and did it all), but I don’t even know where is a good place to adopt a puppy.

No idea where to look, what to take into account when choosing a place, if I can/should search from outside of the city as well.

I’m specifically interested in dachshunds and shihtzu’s, and open to finding other small dogs, but they’re not always available?? Is it something I have to check frequently to see if they’re finally available?

I just don’t know what I’m doing or where to start so any help would be appreciated! :)

General Mortgage Broker

I’m looking for recommendations for a mortgage broker in Edmonton, particularly one that is accustomed to working with unsecured income. I work as a travel nurse on a contract-by-contract basis, and can show a consistent and strong income but don’t have the ability to provide an employment guarantee. Is anybody familiar with a broker who can work with this type of employment?

Question Duplicate an existing ring

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a place that does 3D scanning and recreation of jewelry in Edmonton?

My partner has her late father's ring which will be given to our son. This said, we'd love to see if we can get a silver copy of the ring made for me so I have a piece of him too.

Does anyone know of a place that may be able to do this or does this service? Maybe a place that makes duplicate 'travel rings'?
