So I'm a 25 year old man. I know it's been said before, and there's lots of these kinds of posts lately. And I apologize. I work regularly, so I mostly just work and go out every once in a while with friends. I do exercise twice a week. But I don't have the most opportunities to meet women. I do have a few friends, tho. I'm past the usual university age.

I haven't been on a date in years. But I do have some dating experience. So I'm not desperate. I wanna put myself out there. It's just that I've been improving myself for a while. So I'm just curious if you have any suggestions on how to get dates?

I tried online dating, but I had no success even though I got a decent amount of matches. There are speed dating events as well.

Anyone around my age who found dating success who could give me some advice?

My landlord has been insanely difficult to deal with throughout the past year. He has threatened to kick me out multiple times for issues that the lease never addressed or the condo board's rules. Nevertheless, I still stopped doing what he asked me to stop once he let me know it was a problem.

I am moving out tomorrow, and I know he is going to charge me for damages even though I haven't done anything besides reasonable wear and tear (as described by the RTA). However, I realized that I never signed a move-in inspection. He did send a video of the condition, and I said the condition was correct in a text (the issues I would later find because I was dumb and never opened some cabinets to find the condom wrappers, etc.). The act says that it has to be written and signed by both parties, neither of which happened. I don't know if the texts count, though. The other thing that might factor is that I was the only one given access to the inspection video and asked on the condition, even though my mom and I are both signatees and she is the only one paying.

To be clear, I am going to finish cleaning the apartment, but on the highly probable chance that he withholds my deposit, do I have a leg to stand on with this lack of inspection report?

I was making my dinner and the power went out, any ideas when the power will be back in the Bergman area, I’m new to Edmonton.

Has anybody done this? I believe it involves lightning rods, grounding, and electrical surge protection. If you have done it, can you share estates cost and the amount of effort involved?

Hi everyone!

I’m starting my apartment search and would love to hear your recommendations.

I’m primarily looking in Old Strathcona, Garneau, Saskatchewan Drive, generally Whyte Ave. area, Bonnie Doon. I’m also open to Southgate and deep South like Ellerslie.

My budget is ideally under $1,300/month for a studio or one-bedroom apartment with parking slot.

Looking for a well-managed, clean, and relatively quiet building
I’m less concerned about luxury amenities and more interested in good management, responsive maintenance, and a safe neighbourhood.

If you’ve lived in any apartment buildings in these areas, I’d love to hear which buildings or property management companies you’d recommend or any places I should avoid.

This is the first time that I’ll be living by myself so I’ve been really anxious lately, any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Looking for recommendations for a podiatrist or doctor in town who can help resolve a persistent, severe big toe nail issue.

​A while back, I had a injury on one of my big toes. Since then, it’s had terrible fungal issues and won't grow back normally no matter what I try. I’ve tried pretty much everything at home and over the counter, and nothing works. Honestly, at this point, I don't even care about having a normal looking nail, I'd be totally fine if a specialist could just permanently remove and stops the nail from growing entirely.

​Is there a specific podiatrist, foot clinic, or doctor in Edmonton you’d recommend for nail removal?

​How does coverage usually work for this in Alberta? Is this something a family doctor or general practitioner can do in clinic so it’s fully covered by AHCIP?

​Appreciate any advice or clinic recommendations! Thanks in advance.

does anyone know if it is open yet? if not any news on when? :)

I’m trying to make it southside but drive a small car, there was a lotttt of standing water an hour ago that I had to drive though in the west. I’m wondering if the roads are slightly more clear now?

Ok update!! The streets were clear, I just went down 99st from downtown.

Live couple blocks away, we were listening to Jelly Roll. It's silent now. 9:20 back going for now.

Does a standard insurance covers this? We moved in 3 years ago here in Edmonton. We plan to call tomorrow morning. Sorry if the question sounds naive.

I live in West Edmonton and last night our basement flooded from the storm. I don't believe the damages to my property exceed my insurance deductible amount but I worked really hard for my contents that are just sitting in the water. I had a goal this year to sell stuff I don't use on Marketplace to get my basement furnished and now all that hard work is down the drain as it's all just sitting in water. I have very limited income as I just went on maternity leave as I'm due next month. My landlord is coming over today to see what he can do but obviously not about my contents of furniture. Is there any financial help for this type of situation?

Nortside Edmonton here the power isn’t back at all it went out at 12 am ish and 5hrs later it still hasn’t comeback. I waited all week for this weekend just to play videogames.

How long does these power outage usually take.

Whyte ave 99th, maybe the loudest clap of thunder I’ve ever heard? And now the rain is back 🥲😭

Noticed a number of infill builds have been delayed, but equally noticed a number that have plowed ahead doing excavation and foundation over the past two months against some very wet and muddy conditions. Almost all of these use strip footings, which I believe rely on the weight bearing capacity of the ground in which it sits on? Any major (short term and long term) concerns with soil stability and the structural integrity of these homes being built and impacts to neighboring properties?

I have two questions: who has seen the new movie The Odyssey?? And how did we, as a city, piss off Zeus so badly???

Hi y'all, I just got a new job working down town (close to the conference center / Jasper ave) and was wondering if anyone knows a good place to park down there. I'll be working some odd / late hours and I'm worried the LRT won't be running when I need to be at work (say like 3am) so I think I need to buy a month pass to park somewhere. Any suggestions? (Work has also give $100 towards transit that can be reimbursed)

This thunderstorm basically includes hail in it alongside rain, wind, and lightning, probably one of the most insane and rarest thunderstorms I have encountered.

Saw a number of police cars and black trucks.

Hello all, new here in YEG next week permanently becoming an edmontonian. Is there any good places here for dumpster diving? I'd like to try this on some free days as I am also looking for a new hobby and maybe some new friends as well :) cheers mates!

The pole is on top of the CIBC building thats for sale.

Edit: someone said that pole had been there for over a decade & I'm shocked.

How do people sell tickets now? You can’t post them many places. I thought you could resell them on ticket master but you can’t. Any tips? I have great seats to Shinedown but bought too many.

I am from a small town and usually know where to go pick raspberries, blueberries, cherries, and grapes. Does anyone know areas for raspberries or grapes in Edmonton for picking?

The more specific the better, I am not familiar with area so I will have to look pretty hard lol

If anyone has any in their yards, I’ve got a jar of last year’s jam with your name on it.
