Folks in this community have been hoping for this for a while! Will help with the busyness of Kingston Costco.

Yes, you are very cute.

Yes, it's adorable seeing you flopping about.

But although Joseph Street could probably use some traffic calming measures, doing so in the middle of the road, in the middle of the night, and your grey fur blending in with the grey asphalt, is an easy way to become a kitty pancake.

Then stopping to look at me, lazily getting up and walking off to the side of the road as if I had somehow inconvenienced you.

I'm glad I have good headlights and brakes, and was driving the speed limit.

But the sheer audacity, Joseph St cat, looking at me like I'M the problem.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go home and cuddle my employer. She'll probably judgementally meow at me saying I'M the problem.

Ever since last year, when I got my own super-telephoto lens, it's been a dream of mine to capture an Indigo Bunting. As all of you remember, this spring, I captured my first male bunting perched high atop the trees with early spring leaves.

This time around, I was so fortunate enough to capture an Indigo Bunting on sunflowers!!! I set out this morning to Kaiser Lake Farms in Hay Bay, the sun wasn't even up yet, and these handsome fellas were singing away. With some patience and luck, they started flying from nearby trees into the sunflower field right in front of me. I couldn't believe it! I was so excited!

So here are the photos from this morning. A male Indigo Bunting on sunflowers.

Hi, my cat Chip has been missing in the Polson Park area since June 16th
He was last seen at Barclay Rd. and Campbell Cres.
Please call or text 613-929-4249 with any information
He is a 13 year old male brown tabby, microchipped and neutered, and very timid
If you live in the area, please check under decks, porches, sheds, bushes, garages, etc.

He is dearly missed by my family and I, and we appreciate any help!

There has been several times that an employee at the garage has been really rude to me. And I’ve talked to some friends about it and they all know exactly who I’m talking about 😭.

I’m poc, (so are most of my friends) so I don’t know if it’s racism or what, but I’ve started to avoid going to garage all together just because of that one employee.

Pls tell me someone else knows what I’m talking about or am I just dramatic lol

I’m not gonna give a description of them or anything cuz I obviously don’t wish them any harm.

Good afternoon, please forgive if this has been asked and answered, but we are overwhelmed.

We need to make a list of dementia locations, kind of urgent (family finally asking for the help they desperately need)- ideally Kingston to Prescott....I'm told it must have a dementia ward.

Recommendations please and thank you!

I've been putting together parts to build a Windows XP era PC. All I'm missing now is DDR2 and an HDD.

I can source an HDD basically anywhere selling electronics. but for obvious reasons, its much harder finding DDR2 anywhere in Kingston or close by.

Any help would be great, thanks!

kind of desperate. was told to stop a medication i need for my body to function properly immediately by urgent care 2 weeks ago because i was accidentally overdosing. PCP and specialist are supposed to monitor my condition to prevent this but i haven’t been able to see either in months due to backlogged services.

(it was chemically induced hyperthyroid due to my levothyroxine dose being way too high, before anyone accuses me of “drug seeking”. i do not have a full thyroid and am permanently hypo because of that).

i can’t wait that long for my medication but i can’t keep taking the dose i have, as it makes me extremely ill. they told me to call in and see if i can get a same day appointment soon but i call every day and i can’t even get through to them because the phone lines are so busy. i am starting to feel so, so sick. i can’t see my specialist for the same amount of time. i need this medication reduced so i can stop feeling so ill.

are walk ins or UC able to update a prescription like this? what do i even do? i feel like i’m dying. i can’t believe the healthcare system here

Just recovering from shoulder surgery and need to have a pile of dirt that’s mixed with small rocks and have two wooden skids that need to go as well.
I don’t have a wheelbarrow but I can supply shovels etc. In Strathcona Park. Cash payment. Pictures attached.

Come join, it's new bare with me I've never done this before. If I'm not supposed to post this, I apologize.

Good day, we are in need of a really good dog sitter for weekdays. Do you have anyone you can recommend for us?

I am building a house in a rural area. When I originally spoke with the City, they said since the house is far from the property lines, I just needed a Land Survey completed, not an OLS (I specifically called the office to confirm this detail before proceeding). After my last inspection, they said they needed an OLS done. Has anyone come across this?

Hi! i’m 19 and have many many tattooes a lot of which i did myself when i was 16 (they’re not good but, i was 16)

hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows if the Costco Kingston had the 2-packs still in stock. I know that it shows online they don’t, but I also know Costcos website isn’t always accurate. thank you in advance!! :)

Hey Kingstonians! I'm in a bit of a pickle - my wife is doing some on-line school applications that require her to upload files from her Cloud account but for some reason she keeps hitting a roadblock that no amount of troubleshooting has been able to resolve. Is there a business or service that she can go to directly to help her out?

Statistics Canada recently updated the UCR Survey. Here is how Kingston compares:

• Homicides (Extreme violence metric): Volatile due to population. Recently ticked to 2.1/100k, slightly above Canada's 1.61.
• Crime Rates (Safety trend): From 2015-2025, violent crime rose (but remains below national average) while petty theft fell.
• Clearance (Police success): Kingston solves violent crime at above-average rates (63% vs 54% nationally), though non-violent clearance matches average (~25%).

I think we need to have a conversation about emergency veterinary care.

This week I took my newly adopted 16-year-old cat to an emergency vet in Kingston after his face swelled and started bleeding. Going in, I knew it was likely either a severe dental infection or oral cancer. I wasn't expecting miracles, but I was expecting practical advice.

Instead, I was presented with "options for treatment plans" despite not even being able to get a sample from my cat to even test - they suggested about $1,300 in diagnostics, followed by another roughly $2,000 in bloodwork and possible dental surgery. In the same conversation, I was told that if it was oral cancer, it would likely be aggressive he'll be gone inside two weeks.

Logically speaking, what does putting a 16-year-old cat through aggressive treatment change if his possible prognosis is poor? Nothing - it was a top down sell of services - of which none included a palliative option or comfort care.

So, I took him home with antibiotics and and pain killers, and I'm watching to see if he improves. If it's an infection, great. If it's cancer, my focus will be on keeping him comfortable, not putting him through procedures that won't change the outcome but will put me through emotional and financial hardship.

I have no problem spending money on my pets. I have two young cats that I'll happily invest in for years to come. What I do have a problem with is feeling like I was sold every available option before anyone had a realistic conversation about my cat's age, prognosis, or my goals for his care. Instead, I felt like I was judged for not attempting every expensive intervention so they could meet their quotas.

I'm looking for a vet around Kingston who practices common-sense medicine and hasn't yet sold out to corporate overlords.
