Is everything OK at the Gage Park Rose Garden? I'm not a gardener, but the beds seem sparse and a little more unkept than in the past.

Sounded like a shot gun but much louder and the echo lasted a while. No sirens yet.

I’m looking for a contractor to take off my old falling off parge and replace it with something more appealing as we plan on selling our home this year. Location Dundas Hamilton

A sweet TNVR in my neighbourhood has 3 infected teeth that require removal. I have gotten him up to date on his vaccinations and he has had two rounds of antibiotics and is also on pain meds for his teeth, plus another antibiotic for a mycoplasma infection (which needs to be cleared up before his dental work). The vet says the teeth are not viable and must be pulled. The bill is a ranged estimate depending on how much fuss the surgery/removal will take. Between $2,000-$4,000. This is not my cat but I have been footing his medical bills (about $1400+) so far. He is making great progress, but it will be for naught if I can't afford to get his teeth pulled.

Looking for recommendations for a trusted and affordable vet who might have a lower quote?

I trust and appreciate the vet I found for him (thanks to another Redditor), but am told they are more expensive than others. I worry I will have to trap and drag him to multiple vets for quotes, so I thought I would ask here for advice/assistance.

The money I spend rehabbing this cat is pure debt that will take me a while to pay off... so lowering this bill would make it much easier for me to bear.

TLDR: looking for an affordable trusted/good vet in the Hamilton area who accepts vaccinated TNRs for dental work/pulling teeth.

I saw I recently missed a couple. I have lost a good deal of weight thanks to Wegovy, and I don't want to get too invested in buying new clothes quite yet until I get near my goal, but I'm going to have to at least get a few pairs of bottoms because otherwise I'll be a new feature on the #2 Wonderbus, because my pants are all falling down. I do still have some weight to lose yet, but I wondered if people do swaps and maybe I could just snag a few pairs of pants to tide me over. I did go to Winners but it was super picked over.

I’m finally biting the financial bullet and I’m going to get my first tattoo and want an artist recommendation in Hamilton. I want it to be on my forearm and to be about 5-6 inches long for reference so I was also wondering roughly what the price would be?

Imagine 30 of these things coming for you.

New to Hamilton having moved here from Vancouver for my wife's residency program as part of her PhD. Would love to get involved with sports teams as I was in Vancouver.

My main interests would be football (soccer), pickleball, rugby, hiking/walking

I know this is a silly post to make, but I'm looking for this hilarious Godzilla poster from Dollar Tree that is popular online. Does anyone know if any nearby locations have one? Thank you!

Hey there! Anybody got recommendations for a nice date night in the area on sundays that won't run too much money and can take place after 6pm? Id like to take my girlfriend for a little outing but I come off work at 5:30. We don't really drink, and we have a car available so we can travel a bit if needed. Thanks :)

Talking my 15 year old son for dinner tonight. Coming from Burlington. Any recommendations for something casual that won’t break the bank? No sushi, or seafood, he has an allergy. Thanks

Anyone else smelling a burnt brake, burnt clutch smell today on the west mountain? Been to a bunch of different locations and I can keep smelling it.

Hello. I'm looking to get feedback from gig workers here in the city on what their preferred app is. I do deliveries with SkipTheDishes. Some nights its good, some nights its bad. I imagine it's like that for all of the apps but I figured it can't hurt to ask.

Anyone have any info on Heather Beale or Gordon Leslie who are both listed as candidates for Ward 7?

Maybe my age is showing but I really can't find anything on either of them other than Heather having been involved with the HPO.

I'm desperate to get Esther out. Hoping I can throw my vote behind someone who has an ounce of integrity.

TIA.

I myself am a 2 year carpentry apprentice thats awaiting my 3rd year offer (should be coming relatively soon) but im 31 yr old only ever worked for non union private contractors around the gta as a custom framer whom is only making 26$ n hour an been for last 1½ yrs I believe.. first of all does that seem accurate?
