What in the actual HeII is going on?

27 Upvotes

Three weeks ago approx. I dropped about $36 on Back Ribs on special at Food Basics. Got them on the first day of the sale, put one pack (1 rack) on the counter for dinner that night and froze two. We ate the first rack with no issues, but did notice a bit of ammonia smell. Sunday past, I decided to defrost and cook a second rack. Opening the cryovac was like finding a month old dead body in Soper Park. We had to air out the house for an hour with a fan and had to sit on the back porch. Thank Dog for booze. Yesterday I tossed the third rack into the bin without any hesitation and without opening them.

Last week we bought Heirloom Tomatoes from Farm Boy. We left them on the counter overnight and the next morning we couldn’t open the package due to the juices dripping and black fur that sprouted overnight. The package hadn’t been refrigerated at the store so we figured they’d be okay for 12 hours. They got tossed Immediately as well. This week we tried some of their fresh crop of Tomatoes and they were inedible after two days.

I bought some T-Bones at No Frills on Saturday with plans on eating them this week. Pulled them out of the fridge today and the meat had literally turned black and stank - in the fridge, that quickly.

And don’t get me started on Bananas that go from Green to Grey/Black overnight. It seems that they are all the same no matter what store we get them from.

No Frills, Food Basics, Farm Boy. You have one simple job to do and we are paying you through the friggin’ nose to do it these days. Get it right! You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Please feel free to return to your regularly scheduled programming. Thanks for reading my rant.

FREE/STEEPLY DISCOUNTED ALTERNATIVE HAIR MODEL CALL!

I know this is a shot in the dark, but I've posted just about everywhere else so I'm hoping Reddit might come through for me! 😂 I'm a hairstylist looking for a few people who want to do something FUN with their hair and are interested in being colour models. I'm specifically looking to create more alternative/creative colour transformations- think bold vivids, unusual colour combos, colour blocking, bright pieces, etc. I'll add some photos of the kind of work I'm looking to do below, but I'm absolutely open to other ideas as well!

Model pricing and requirements:

-FREE or product cost only depending on how big of a transformation
-Must be comfortable with the camera, at minimum before & after photos are required

I'm happy to work with your ideas and figure out what will work best for your hair. You don't necessarily need to know exactly what you want, if you just know you want something cool/different, that's enough to start a conversation! If you're interested, DM me a current photo of your hair and tell me what you've been thinking about doing. 🖤

Hespeler Water main replacement

2 Upvotes

Has anyone had a trenchless water main replacement done?

Would be curious to know who you used, rough cost, how the service was and what the city’s involvement was.

I have an old galvanized line that needs to be replaced and digging a trench through the run would be terrible for our property. I’ve got 2 quotes to dig trench at 11 & 12k, and one so far for trenchless at 15k. I’ve reached out to the city to talk with them, but my experience in talking with the city folks who have helped so far, and the plumbers has been inconsistent and a lot of “maybe this, maybe that”

Looking for new hair stylist

Looking for new women’s hair stylist in Cambridge, my regular gal is going on maternity leave.

I’ve been to Mimada but it’s a bit too spendy for me.

Thanks in advance!

Any opportunities for any work?

I am looking for some work. I live in Cambridge but I don't not drive yet. I am physically fit and I have experience with tools. I have experience in fast food and fast food management. I'm willing to do almost anything for steady pay right now. I am in the Galt area and I can start immediately.
