Premier Wakeham, Churchill Falls, elections, and Minister Barbour

2 Upvotes

Is Premier Wakeham still running his Churchill Falls "roll up our sleeves" election campaign ads? Is Andrea Barbour still a provincial cabinet minster? Happy Friday, folks! If you didn't laugh, you'd have to cry.

In for real estate listings, who puts in the square footage of a house?

5 Upvotes

For NL ; does the seller, the owner of the home , put the square footage on the web for the real estate listings or is it the real estate broker?

What stops someone from aggressively overstating their square footage and listing it?

Do I Have to Notify my Insurance for a Ticket

0 Upvotes

I got a 11-20 over violation last week and was curious if this has to be reported. It’s not written in my insurance contract but I didn’t know it was law that you have to.

Pet insurance

14 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for (or against) pet insurance? We have two male cats (7 and 8 years old). We’ve had the 7 year old for ~4 months and the 8 year old his entire life. No health issues thus far but interested in seeing if insurance is worth it as a large vet bill would be difficult to pay right now. If anyone has suggestions on companies it would be greatly appreciated! Also any suggestions on vets would be great as well. We live in the east end of St. John’s.

Cigar Social Group

16 Upvotes

I have been having the occasional cigar night with a few friends and the topic of a cigar social group keeps coming up. There are no cigar lounges in NL and public spaces where a group can meet year round and smoke cigars together are basically nonexistent. From my searches I don't see any existing groups advertised online anywhere that gather.

The only option seems to be forming a group for a social gathering at a private residence. Particularly in winter.

I am looking to guage interest in creating such a social group. The area I have in which I could host such a thing would be limited to 8-10 people max. My initial thoughts are that the group would gather once every 2-4 weeks to smoke, socialize, learn about cigars, and hopefully create some fun. I'm in St. John's also which is an important point to add. Perhaps people could form groups elsewhere if my spot is out of range.

As interest is guaged I'll have to develop some rules and guidelines about how things would proceed. Mature crowd only as this is not meant to be a "party" thing.

Reply to the post or DM me if this is something that would interest you. I just want to geek out on this hobby with fellow enthusiasts.

Cozy cafes/spots for boardgawms?

0 Upvotes

Hi all, looking for cozy cafes or spots in general that allow you to play boardgamws for a date. Id like a spot thats cozy, has booths that are kind of privatish/enclosed? I really like the enclosed feeling. Is there anything here like that? I cant really find anything which sucks. Pubs and bars are not something we want to go to, even tho the Celtic hearth looks cool. Suggestions?

Cheap car body work?

2 Upvotes

Any recommendations on a spot where I could get some rust spots fixed for a good price? They haven't rusted through so seem to be mostly on the surface. It's a 2016 Honda civic, obviously older but only 160k kms and gives us no trouble. Would like to be able to hold onto it for as long as I can. Has a rust spot on the trunk and both back fenders.

Living in CBS but can bring the car to St. John's and nearby areas.

While I'm not sure if she did it on purpose, one thing that really sticks out to me from watching the video is what a gong show parliament is. I mean, while I get that yelling is part of the game, but MPs (no matter what stripe they are) should at least be able to speak without the by's yelling and screaming like they are kids on the playground.

MHA's salary increases proposed

0 Upvotes

2 days later after the announcement by some budget accounting think tank locally that our genius MHA's should all get a $22,000+ salary increase I expected of course dead silence from the Libs and Cons but yikes! Where are the NDP socialists members hiding on this? No comment? Dinn will get even a greater increase ($33,000) as he is the leader of the party of 2. Nothing like a massive wage increase to silence the critics.

Underground window in OSC? (Below)

14 Upvotes

I see lots of chatter around Below, mostly actors, writing, and resulting tourism, but I have a burning question that is completely unrelated: does the Ocean Sciences Centre have an underground viewing window into the ocean? Or is it some kind of flume tank? You see it twice, once when Barry is smashing his head against the window, and then again when the doctor returns to OSC and finds all her samples thawing.

It seemed like the water was implied to be ocean, but I suspect if this location was real, and actually in the OSC, it'd just be a tank. I do see a "17m flume tank with sediment tray" listed on a MUN page about equipment at the OSC. Anyone know anything about it?
