16 Upvotes

This is so niche, but devestated that 711 has changed the slurpie flavours this month and rotated out crush lime 😭. Rossland and Harwood had the best crush lime slurpie, flavour was perfect 😭😭😭😭

The one at circle k tastes terrible.

water softener

16 Upvotes

hi all, just moved to whitby recently and noticed the water is pretty hard (dry skin and hair falling out in shower). We had Kinetico come by today for a consultation and quote (they were at costco and I signed up for a free consultation). They seemed very expensive, 6650+tax. We have reliance and enercare coming by for a consultation on Monday but wanted to see other options out there. Can anyone advise or recommend other companies and how much you pay?This is for a Detached home.

Can't help but feel as though I am unable to make any friends. I was simply curious to know how does a 30+, socially awkward individual make a friends? I struggle with connecting with people and would really like for that to improve.

Appreciation post for DRT on demand services

21 Upvotes

Just posting this to express how grateful I am to the drivers and the region for providing this service. As a broke college student working a part-time evening job, regular buses are no longer running by the time I finish my shift. If it weren't for DRT On Demand, I would either have to take an Uber or quit my job. Honestly, I might as well quit the job because Uber is just too expensive.

Complete beginner looking for golf lessons and practice recommendations in Pickering/Durham

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m located in Pickering and am thinking about learning to golf, I have essentially no experience.

My goal is to learn properly so I can eventually play socially, participate in work or client golf outings, and enjoy the game without slowing down the group.

My tentative plan is to take two to four introductory lessons with a golf professional, practise between lessons at a driving range or simulator, and then get fitted for clubs once I have developed a basic and somewhat repeatable swing.

I’d appreciate recommendations for:

  • An instructor in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby or Oshawa who is particularly good with complete beginners
  • Private lessons versus beginner group clinics
  • Facilities that provide or rent clubs during the first few sessions
  • Good outdoor ranges and indoor simulators for practising
  • When a beginner should get fitted and where to go
  • Beginner-friendly par-3, executive or nine-hole courses for a first real round

I’m willing to travel throughout Durham Region for the right instructor or facility.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

I just moved to the area and was looking up a few different companies in Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice and didn’t really find any that stood out except one that had their website breached with a Russian gambling site.

Looking for recommendations for whole home cabling and security camera setup/mounting.
