I have found myself in several situations where I couldn't make important calls from my home because my voice services are garbage. The caller on the other end says I keep cutting out. This has occurred for years but it becomes really problematic when I'm trying to do things like report an incident to non-local CFB MPs, navigating insurance claims, etc. I currently have to lean out my upstairs bedroom window to even hope to be able to get through a few sentences. I have done troubleshooting with Bell and they told me that it was my phone but that they couldn't do anything because I didn't buy it from them (I purchased from Samsung). I have purchased a new phone through Bell, thinking that my previous phone (purchased from Samsung) was being hexed by Bell for daring to "BYOD". My bf switched from his previous carrier, Freedom, to Bell and now has the same issues with his new phone. I spoke to a customer service employee at Enterprise near my location and they experience the same problems. For reference, I live in the Meadowbrook area. Anyone else having these issues? I bundle so many things with Bell it would be a nightmare to switch but I might have to. Has anyone had any luck fixing the issue with Bell? Recommendations for service providers for phone, Internet and smartwatch? Thanks 🫶

I ask because I just read an article in the Ottawa Citizen where MPP and former City Councillor Catherine McKenney is quoted saying "You cannot be an effective Mayor if you've never been on council".

I’m a newly certified teacher hoping to connect with local teachers or parish leaders in the Catholic board for some advice.

I attended Catholic school, loved my practicum experiences with the board, and deeply value the school community. However, my faith background is Christian (Pentecostal) rather than practicing Catholic.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has navigated the pastoral reference process as a non-Catholic educator, or who has insight on applying to the board with this background.

Thanks!

With advance polls now closed, less than 10% of eligible voters have cast their ballots. Pittsburgh has seen the highest turnout, at just over 15%.

Honestly, I find this very disappointing. Voting is both a right and a responsibility in a democracy. You have every right to choose who you support, but choosing not to participate means giving up your chance to have a say in your community's future. If you don't like any of the candidates, spoil your ballot.

With online voting available and candidates offering rides to the polls, I struggle to understand why turnout is so low. People fought hard for the right to vote, and we shouldn't take that right for granted.

What do others think?

Just drove by and there were two cars pulled into the CircleK parking lot with a cop there and parts of bumper/headlights etc. all over the intersection still.

Unrelated to any post here lately I'm sure.

Hi there!
I’m on the final stretch of FINALLY getting diagnosed with POTS officially and am seeking an OT to help me with ordering mobility aids for my disability. I had been diagnosed with ME/CFS years ago but the two conditions work in tandem to kick my shit in on the daily.
Is anyone aware of any OTs that are particularly versed in dysautonomias and nerve conditions? The last OT I talked to wasn’t as knowledgeable and I want to make sure I’m getting the right support for my condition.

Thank you!

probably this question been asked alot but from time to time people experience change. I have to take my dog to the vet asap due to ear infection, he already have a vet at kingston vet clinic but i have never went out satisfied. They never knew what is wrong with him, i only feel i just pay for nothing. They also missed my dogs rabbies shot which was irresponsible of them.

1) I need good clinic for my dog, i can notice while walking he sometimes lose balance. Am worried.

2) can i go to any other vet even if he is with vet clinic and transfer his files later?

thank you! I will make a call early morning based on your advice. Thanks!

Admin is aware and dealing with it but many kids being targeted. Bloody fetus signs and all

Hi all. Looking for some recommendations for a tattoo shop either in Kingston or in our greater area. This will be my first one and my friend's second one after many, many years. I understand it may be best to know for what kind of tattoo. We're not set on one just yet, but know it won't be too specific like a portrait and such. Thanks in advance.

Bought a new bike online looking for someone with a bike stand and a set of torque wrenches to assemble it. Will pay cash.

Looking for a reasonably priced/reliable electrician to replace an exterior light for me as well as service a loud bathroom fan. Referrals and recommendations are appreciated. Thank you!

Looking for a trustworthy, careful and detailed dry cleaner for nicer pieces and delicate fabrics, like 100% silk and wool. I also do not want my clothes to come back with any funky smells. Any recommendations? What did you take there?

Fuck whoever stole my amazon package off my porch today. That was a 100$ item you stole and I cant afford another one. Scum bag.

Edit: I figured out how to get refunded - but still, f you dude.

Hey everyone! I have a couple of pairs of jeans that fit well everywhere else, but the waistbands are now too big and gaping at the back. I’d love to get them taken in so I can wear them again!
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good tailor or alterations shop? Also, does anyone know approximately how much it costs to have the waistband of jeans taken in?
I’d appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences. Thanks! 😊

I’m visiting next week and I was wondering what people’s thoughts on the kpass are? What kind of restaurants accept this, or is it just the ones that are hurting for business? Thanks!

I'm looking for some professional help to help me get on the right track for weight loss / muscle gain. I am going to the gym on my own but I feel I need the extra push/structure. Does anyone know of a program in the Kingston area where they help you meet your goals? I need someone or a program setup to help with training a few days a week. As long as the trainer can give me support I am not opposed to group classes.
