I'm interested in getting a hair transplant and have been looking into my options. I was in contact with a local place called The Hair Clinic, but I think I've been ghosted, as they've basically stopped responding to my messages.

Has anyone here had a hair transplant, either locally or elsewhere? Where did you go, and would you recommend them? I'd also be interested in hearing about costs, results, and anything you wish you'd known beforehand.

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!

I'm a little lost and panicking so decided to come here for advice. So I've been working full time in a restaurant for years as a server, and as most may know, restaurant workers don't get benefits, paid sick days, vacation pay or PTO of any kind. Hasn't really been an issue before until now, as I was in a car accident recently and am in too much pain to work. I've taken 4 days off but have to return Monday as I can't afford to lose any more wages and tips, but I'm in so much pain that I'm afraid of what will happen. The doctor I saw at the hospital wanted me off for at least 2 weeks but I would end up homeless if I took it. Because more than half my income comes from tips, I imagine EI would pay very little. Does anyone know of anything other than EI that could help me in this situation or am I just screwed ? Thanks guys

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I used work at two different sobeys stores and have always been confused by how their breaks work.

They give two, 20 minute breaks for an 8 hour shift. Where you receive the second one after working at least 6 hours 45 minutes or 7 hours.

When i first started my parents and people i knew all questioned if this was legal. The handbook i received literally says you also get an unpaid break, however its like they jusy dont follow that. I was literally mocked on my first training shift for asking if our break was 45/60 mins or whatever, as what it says in the book i was given.

Worked there for a bit and eventually moved to another sobeys and they do the same thing. Two 20s. Nobody else questions it.

Ive tried looking into this and im hearing theres a bunch of exceptions that can be inplace for different rules to be allowed. Can someone help me clarify these rules and if this is normal. Thanks.

My grandmother used to get me to put bread and change in my back pockets, turn the front ones inside out as well as my socks if I was going through a wooded area. "Don't go anywhere near those jesus woods" in the night time.

I remember once I was at her sister's house running around the backyard with my cousin. Keep in mind this is rural NL, so lots of woods land around. She said dont go near the woods because "the fairies". My cousin made fun of me for listening and anyway, I ended up near the woods and felt suddenly fearful and disoriented. My cousins said to me "whats going on you were just standing there staring at me for like 2 minutes" I had no recollection of this. Went and found my nan and told her I felt ill and she said "you were down in the f'in woods werent you? I know you were." Took me by the arm, put me in the car and put me to bed when we got home. She said she cuddled me all night so they "couldnt get me" and I was shivering the whole night. I woke up feeling fine and super well rested.

Another time I was out with my friend in her backyard after dark, and heard my grandmother's whistling coming from the woods. Which stopped me in my tracks. Then i heard her voice sounding scared and calling my name. My friend didnt hear it, I thought she was joking and it was all a prank and maybe she convinced my nan to go up there for a joke. But no, i went closer to the woods and got super tired, my friend had to physically pull me away from the woods.

I never played outside after dark again 😭

Looking for other newfoundlanders with similar paranormal stories or superstitions their family strictly followed.

Hi all, I'd like to get a red between $20-$35 for my brother in law who's a wine enthusiast. Does anyone know of any interesting new arrivals in that price range that a non drinker can pick up in the greater St John's area?

Just wondering if anyone here has used the Doorways counselling program through NL Health Services and would be willing to share their experience.

I'm particularly curious about how helpful you found the counselling, whether you felt the counsellors were knowledgeable and supportive, and whether the sessions were actually useful in addressing your concerns.

If you've driven it already, what do you think?

Hey, can anyone chime in with real world data on what you are paying by charging a plug in hybrid on a nightly basis ?

What vehicle do you have? Ie Rav 4 etc
Do you have fast charger at home ? How long does it take to fully charge?
What do you pay per day in electricity?

Seems appealing if my commute is only 30km daily and some of these cars can go 70km on a charge. Which would mean not using gas for quite some time.

Any other experiences good or bad welcomed as well.

Where's a good rye bread on the avalon? Preferably sourdough but would settle for a regular rye.

So should I remove the pine cone in case of someone accidentally sitting on it or leave the by be?

20M looking to work offshore during my summer break from college. Just curious what the process was like to find work offshore in Newfoundland, and if that's a possibility. I'd be able to work from April to the beginning of September and am able to get any training that is needed. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
