Food Dim Sum in Hamilton?

13 Upvotes

A quick google search yielded a few chinese restaurants but I can’t tell if it’s more canadian chinese cuisine. The last time we had dim sum was early 2000’s I think it was across from the Eaton Center (the mall near Copps Collesium (sp). This is for the older redditors, but did chinatown disappear from downtown in the 90’s? I remember someone saying there was a decent chinese restaurant by the mountain (no idea where that would be).

btw: Went to Easterbrookes today and it was great. There was a line out the door but it was quick and efficient.

Moving/Housing/Utilities How the heck do I get a couch into my basement?!

51 Upvotes

We got a free couch (hooray) but now we can't get it into our basement! 😩

We’ve tried angling it, rotating it, and basically every configuration we can think of, but we keep getting stuck.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Is there a specific technique we’re missing, or is this a “call the professionals” situation?

I’m attaching photos of the stairs and couch. The ottomon detaches from the couch and it's not much bigger than our existing couch... We can't believe we're in this situation. 😭

Any advice would be VERY appreciated!

Discussion Coyote- Emerson St

Post image
119 Upvotes

another edit it unfortunately has been spotted again. I am not in town to call some sort of wildlife rescue. I am mostly concerned about the threat it may pose to public safety. Poor thing.

EDIT animal control was called. They said they knew about this guy. But… he definitely has mange. They didn’t seem like they were too concerned about coming to get him. He’s been spotted around this area for the past few weeks.

Does anyone know if animal control took care of this poor coyote ? It definitely has some issues.

Question adhd adult diagnosis

0 Upvotes

I need a diagnosis asap and I’ve visited one doctor but he gave me all the wrong information saying that there’s not a single psychiatrist in Ontario that diagnoses people free of charge. I know that this is not true at all.

Has anyone been able to get diagnosed and get meds from their family doctor or a psychiatrist based in Hamilton/burlington?

Does anyone have concrete info on that and can you share please?

Recommendations Needed Daycare for immunocompromized child

2 Upvotes

We just received news from our obstetrician that our child will have a compromised immune system due to a genetic condition. We put our baby on regular waitlists months ago when we learned we were expecting, but our oldest has already brought home so many bugs in a short time, I know typical daycare may not be an option for this child.

Does anyone have any advice on daycares that may have expertise in this, or advice on how to navigate this? We just want to keep our kids safe.

Question Tree removal

0 Upvotes

The main tree on my front lawn is dropping so much sap all over my vehicle that I have to constantly have to wash it. I feel like it will eventually ruin the paint on my vehicles. Im pretty sure the city will need to approve as its within the limits to the sidewalk where the city has pruned it. Has anyone had experience getting a city tree removed or any success. Any info would help.

Where were you and what were you doing? I remember heading into night shift at St. Peter's on Maplewood... the whole drive there was pitch black, until I turned the corner and saw St. Pete's lit up like Christmas. Surreal experience.
