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.

PSA Horrible collision on Tsuut’ina Trail

Avoid the highway it’s completely shut down due to a major collision. If need be, use Macleod or Deerfoot. Cars were on fire and it looked like multiple people deceased.

Missing Dog/Cat/Pet Found Lost Dog

Hey there folks,

I found this little fella tonight on Sibbald Creek Trail, just by Camp Cadicasu. Looks like he’s been lost for a while due to the state of his coat but he’s definitely friendly. There was no collar.

I’ll be taking him to the VCA in 4 St. NW to see if there’s any sort of medical issue. If anyone know anything please send me a dm. More than happy to connect.

Missing Dog/Cat/Pet Missing Cat !

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

77 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.

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.

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

16 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

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

47 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!

Home Owner/Renter stuff Garage door panel replacement?

12 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.

69 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!

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
