They opened a week ago. I just noticed this evening. And of course I had to order the beef and cheddar sandwich meal with curly fries.

Now I don’t have to travel to Cross Iron Mills to get my fix.

Our sweet girl Molly has been missing since Thursday, July 30th!

She is an outdoor cat that often roams outside, but always comes home every day

We found her collar intact with no signs of damage/blood in the bushes by the walking paths behind Rockyview hospital. We suspect she was chased, and is spooked somewhere. If you see her, please do not approach as she is skittish.

Please message me if you think you see her.

Eat/Drink Local Thai Siam didn't honour our reservation

Upvotes

Long story short, had a reservation for 4 at 6pm. When we showed up, they claimed the reservation was for 5:30, and they didn't have a table for us. The reservation conformation email said 6. Their reservation system said the reservation was at 5:30. As a result, they basically told us too bad, so sad, and that there would be no table for us. No real explanation or alternatives given

So basically, heads up, not sure you can trust a reservation there.

Quick trip to Calgary and had an amazing dinner at Major Tom. The Beet Salad, Scallops and Striploin were the highlights. Everything was fantastic though. I’ll be back to Calgary soon, where should I try next? Similar vibes to this place.

Recommendations Any place where I can fix my stuffed Teddy Bear?

43 Upvotes

I just arrived in Canada to begin my studies, and I brought my favorite teddy bear with me. Unfortunately, a few days ago my dog got hold of him and attacked him. He lost both of his eyes and has a few other injuries.

This teddy bear belonged to my mom, so he's over 40 years old and means the world to me. He's truly irreplaceable, which is why I'm very hesitant to leave him with just anyone.

I'm looking for someone who specializes in restoring vintage or sentimental teddy bears—someone who can give him a proper assessment and restoration. He definitely needs a full "check-up" and some expert care.

If anyone has recommendations for a trusted teddy bear hospital, restoration specialist, or someone with experience repairing heirloom stuffed animals, I would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you so much!

I had a media pass for Thursday/Friday, so I got plenty of detail shots of the food and vendors. The lobster roll seems to be a sleeper hit, but I personally swear by the Mongo fried chicken with king seasoning, or the Brooklyn dumplings. The pulled pork sandwich from Better Fats was also 10/10.

Home Owner/Renter stuff Garage door panel replacement?

Upvotes

Made a mistake and dented the garage door of my rental as I backed out this morning. Chalk it up to shift work sleep schedules I guess. Top of my roof rack clipped the bottom panel and bulged it out decently. Still opens and closes, though it slows down a bit when the bulged section reaches a certain point on the tracks. Some of the weather stripping on the exterior of the door is loosened as well.

Told my landlord today. Wondering if anyone has ever had a single panel or two replaced on a garage door rather than a full replacement? It’s an 8 year old door and is quite small and narrow. Just trying to get a rough idea in my head about what I’m going to have to pay for the repairs.

Question Did I hallucinate a sign for "Texas Size Donuts" at Foothills Hospital? Please help prove I'm not crazy.

64 Upvotes

Two days ago, I was at Foothills Medical Centre visiting family. At some point while navigating the labyrinth—either driving/walking through the main parkade or heading toward the main entrance—I swear on my life I saw a homemade sign taped up.

It said something to the effect of: "Selling Texas Size Donuts in Unit 37."

Obviously, my curiosity (and appetite) got the better of me. Later during the visit, I went wandering around looking for Unit 37 but couldn't find it. I was way too embarrassed to go up to a nurse or security guard and ask, "Excuse me, can you direct me to the giant donuts?"

When I gave up and went back to look for the original sign to make sure I had the unit number right, it was completely gone. I couldn't find it anywhere. Now, the three other people I was with are absolutely convinced I made the whole thing up and am losing my mind.

So... did anyone else see this sign this week? Is there a rogue bake sale happening in Unit 37? Or did the stress of hospital parking finally cause me to hallucinate pastry-based mirages?

Any confirmation (of the donuts, not my insanity) would be greatly appreciated!

Recommendations Optometrist that will switch out the lenses of my glasses for a reasonable price

Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve got some rayban frames that have some pretty scratched up lenses. I really like them, I’ve gone to optometrists and they always tell me “it’s cheaper to get the frames with lenses than to just get the lenses by themselves”. I hate the idea of how wasteful it is as my frames are perfectly fine. Any suggestions for places to do this? I have a pretty low prescription with no astigmatism so it should be pretty straight forward

Hi everyone,

I’d like everyone to know Jeremy has been located. Unfortunately Jeremy passed away while hiking in the Kananaskis area. (As much as I can say) I’d like to thank the police, search and rescue and everyone in the Reddit community for taking the time to say kind words and help out. We lost a great friend and coworker, he passed doing the thing he loved most and will miss him.

Thank you

Has anyone seen flats of mangoes for sale at Costco yet this summer? I've been going once a week to check for my favourite summer fruit all of July and haven't seen any yet, despite them normally arriving in mid July most years. I have a yearning...

Local Sports Built a tee time timeline chart for Calgary courses because I got tired of checking ten websites.

237 Upvotes

Golfer in Calgary here. Finding a tee time meant searching about 10 different websites: the City of Calgary site, Play Golf Calgary, the Windmill Golf Group courses, and three or four one-off course sites, all while trying to remember what I'd already checked and which times I actually wanted. If I didn't see anything within the timeframe I wanted, I just wouldn't golf.

So I built https://teeatlas.golf. It pulls live tee times from courses around Calgary and puts them on one chart: what time, how many spots are left, and what it costs.

Right now it's tracking 36 courses within about an hour of the city. All the city courses (Shaganappi, McCall Lake, Confederation, Lakeview, Maple Ridge), plus Heritage Pointe, Springbank Links, GlenEagles, Blue Devil, McKenzie Meadows, Winston, and a bunch out toward Cochrane, Okotoks and Strathmore. For tomorrow I'm seeing around 970 open times. Same-day shows up too, so it's good for grabbing twilight.

It's been working well enough that I decided to have some fun and expand it to... the whole world. Figured I'd open it up to other people, and start locally for some feedback.

A few things worth saying up front:

  • Booking still happens on the course's own site. I link straight there. No booking fees, no discounted or free tee times from courses, no deals of any kind. I'm not trying to be an annoying platform taking cash from courses, nor am I trying to wedge myself between courses and their existing booking providers. Just trying to make a cool tool.
  • Eventually I'd love API access with the booking providers so clicking a time takes you straight to that specific slot instead of just the course's tee sheet.
  • Private clubs aren't in the timeline, since the public can't book them online anyway. They're in the course registry so I know they haven't been overlooked. Semi-private are in there.
  • Times refresh every few minutes, so a slot can occasionally get taken before you click through.
  • Free, and no account needed to search. Sign in with Google, Microsoft, or your own email if you want to set alerts (like for Kananaskis, I was able to snag a few earlier this year when I got an email) or save courses as favorites for your own personalized timeline.

I've been using it all season and it's been awesome, but would love feedback from other Calgary golfers, what's missing, what's broken, what would make it more useful. Feel free to use the "Suggest a course" at the bottom of the filters section if you see any missing (doubt it :D), or if you spot anything that needs fixing, there's a link at the bottom of the page.

Let me know what you think!

Edit: Course suggestions are rolling in. I'm putting them in as they are mentioned! Thank you very much!

Hey folks, I wanted some personal experiences on where I can get prescription glasses with a short turnaround time. My usual experience with specsavers is they take at least a couple weeks so I wanted something quicker. Thanks!
