| Parking near Island Airport? |
[10 Dec 2009|03:27pm] |
|
Is there a lot near the Island Airport that allows long-term parking (e.g., for 5 days) and is not exorbitantly priced, or should I just put the idea out of my mind completely?

| Baby Food Jars! |
[10 Dec 2009|12:35pm] |
Greetings Torontonians!
As I understand it, some of you out there have babies. Based on the things I've heard about babies, at a certain point they start eating solid food. My research shows me that occasionally this "baby food", as it is known, comes in little glass jars.
I need some of these jars.
Does anyone out there have some empties (with the lids) lying around that they could give me? I can come pick them up if you're not too far away from the subway line. I don't need a tonne of them...probably around a dozen or two.
Comment here if you have some!

Any idea where I could get some clip in hair extensions?
I liked those Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves ones, and I used to see them sometimes at Winners... do they still have them there?
I'm open to other kinds, too. I don't want to spend a fortune but I realize you get what you pay for, which is why I'm not just getting the cheapie ones from Ardene LOL
Thanks!

[09 Dec 2009|06:52pm] |
I'm currently developing a small and hopefully awesome blog devoted to various artistic and cultural events in Toronto as well as news and reviews from the perspective of post-secondary students. In terms of making it awesome, this is where you come in ;)
I'm looking for male and female writers in college or university to contribute to various sections of this blog.

| Bad Neighbour! Isn't There ANYTHING We Can do? |

The guy living below us has been a nightmare for two years. Seriously, I could (and I may very well) write a novel about this. Anyway here is the real issue:
About a month ago our neighbour missed garbage day and instead of taking the shared bin up to the front porch and putting his garbage in, or at a bare minimum waiting until the bin was back on the porch, he decided to do the most inconsiderate thing possible and throw about 50 pounds of garbage, including rotten puke (We're still wtfing over it) in to the bin at the end of the driveway for my boyfriend to carry back up.
My boyfriend took his garbage out because he's not dragging a large bin up the stairs with a not so great back, and left the guy's garbage on the porch. We are not touching that bin anymore. We still have stickers from the city to throw out our trash so we have been doing that ever since. We also picked up a small bin for when they run out.
Now I guess he's "paying us back" for not throwing out his garbage anymore (he's never once helped with it) by sitting at home all day draining the hot water. To just give you an idea of how serious this is, I get up at 5:30am and by then he has already drained the water. He waits until I get in the shower and drains it again. After that he regularly runs the hot water about every 20 minutes (he doesn't work so he has all of the time in the world to do this) so for the past month we have had no hot water! Every shower has been freezing and at 5:30 on a day like today, it's not a good start, let me tell you. If I try to take a shower in the evening, he does it again. Basically he has made it his life mission to sit around and run the hot water morning, noon and night.
Is there ANYTHING we can do about this? For various other reasons our Landlord has been trying to evict him for over a year and it seems like the tenant board protects the tenant way too much. Even though he has taken pictures of neighbours, harassed us in his underwear, smoked and sprayed chemicals in the house, left music on (the same song on repeat) loud enough to hear in our bedroom for 3 weeks while he was away, the Landlord can't seem to get him on anything and his lawyer says that these issues are "petty."
We have called the cops on him for stealing our mail. He had been taking it and giving it back to the mail carrier saying that we moved. It was a huge pain to get our address confirmed again for bank statements and what not. The police won't do anything unless there is absolute proof.
Guys, I just want a warm shower. Does anybody know any tenent board loophole where tenents can successfully complain about other tenents or do we have to let this psychopath win and move out? I like my place and I really want to stay but this is really stressful. I feel very harassed and every shower is making me anxious and sick! Our Landlord has even offered to PAY HIM to move out and he has refused.
Please...help!

| Reverse Look Up for Postal Codes? |

Hi there Toronto.
I'm at work, doing some stuff and one of the stuffs I have to do is mail out our seasonal discount card to past customers.
We havent been keeping up on our postal code taking when we ask for addresses (for delivery purposes). That being said, Canada411 isnt helping me find postal codes by searching the address alone. There has to be a specific person I'm attatching the address too but because not everyone is listed in the directory, I'm coming up with lots of empty envelope stickers.
How can I find a postal code without having to include a person's name AND will Canada Post accept just the first three letter/number/letter code or do I need the following number/letter/number?
Helping me will ensure that Santa brings lots of goodies to your festive tree this year.
Or something.
Thanks!!

| pre/post natal massage |
[09 Dec 2009|10:59am] |
Can anybody here recommend a great pre/post natal massage therapist? I'm especially interested if they're located somewhere relatively close to Queen and Bathurst (the intended recipient lives around there and I'd feel bad making her travel too far).
Thanks!

| Pick up at the Toronto Island Airport... |
[09 Dec 2009|10:56am] |

On Saturday I'm picking someone up at the Toronto Island Airport. The website is unclear (at least, I couldn't find the answer) on where I'd pick that person up, other than to say that there's a ferry to and from the airport at the foot of Bathurst. Can anyone be a little more specific?

To the inconsiderate assholes in my area.
No I will not walk faster.
The sidewalks and roads are slicker than a Toronto politician and even more dangerous. I am not going to speed up so I can have a better chance at a brain damaging fall; just cause you want to catch the light, dash for the subway or hurry into line at Starbucks for your 9 dollar latte.
Muttering obscenities under your breath won't speed me up either. They will however encourage me to turn around and yell profanities at you, and this will only lead to heartbreak and possibly police intervention.
It's only the first storm of the winter! Let's not start this season off badly.
Relax, people. You'll get to where your going. No need for the pedestrian rage.

Like this:
I'll be honest, I didn't search all that earnestly.. saw them at The Bay in the men's section, but they were $40+ (eek!).
Sightings? (Also, I'd prefer it to be masculine-looking / plain, if possible.)
Merci!

| Cat Sitting |
[08 Dec 2009|07:05pm] |
So I'm going away for a few days over Christmas and need an in-house cat sitter. A friend recommended Casa Meow, but I called and their sitters are totally booked over the holiday. I left it too late, I know.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a cat sitting service? Any good or bad experiences?
It's a pretty self-explanatory cat. No special needs, just a 45-60 minute visit per day to keep him happy and fed.
( Look how cute he is! )
