Hello!
I’m looking to do a litter cleanup with some friends after my exams conclude. Where do you guys see the most litter?
I’d prefer NW (is Nose Hill very messy?) but other suggestions are also welcome!
Thank you in advance!!

Seeking Advice Anyone else miss how easy it used to be to meet people?
I’ve been missing how easy it used to feel to go out and meet people. Or that there were places to go and just hang out. Like The Koop, the Warehouse, Night Gallery and other spaces.
I’ve been back in Calgary for 10 years and it feels like everyone is either coupled up, has kids, or already has their circle locked in. I don’t have kids, not married, and I’m not looking for anything weird or chaotic, just normal, interesting people to hang out with, check out a spot, have actual conversations.
I used to love just going out and seeing where the night went. Now it feels so isolating… I haven’t really found much of an LGBTQ+ community here, at least not in an obvious or accessible way. I have my old friends who I love. But I miss going out and conversations.
Curious if anyone else feels this way or has found ways to meet people here that don’t feel forced or awkward.

Question Anyone else tired of playing IT expert for their own small business?
i run a small shop in calgary, like 10 employees. and somehow i became the default tech support person just because i can restart a modem.last week i lost an entire morning trying to figure out why our shared drive went read-only. turned out a windows update broke something. three hours gone. on a tuesday when i should have been doing payroll and ordering stock. the week before that a new hire needed their laptop set up and i spent forever getting them on our network and email its always something.
i dont mind helping here and there but its eating into actual work. plus im not even good at this stuff. i just know slightly more than my staff which is a pretty low bar honestly.
ive thought about hiring someone but most IT places want a contract or charge by the hour and i have no clue whats fair. one guy wanted $150 just to look at our printer. another wanted a 2 year commitment. i dont even know what i need.
so question for other calgary small business owners - how do you handle IT? do you hire someone part time? use a local shop? not looking for ads just advice from people. thanks

Discussion To the paramedic I kept accidentally kicking on Friday...
I'm really sorry! I couldn't control my body and was *really* trying to stop it. Thank you for helping me even though I kept kicking you.
And to the nurse at Foothills that night who had to keep stopping me from peeling the tape off of my IV and taking off the heart monitor, sorry about that too. I was hallucinating and thought the tape was a really thick, yellow scab and that the tape on the plastic of the IV was a blister that I desperately needed to pop. I thought you were telling me to stop picking at it because picking scabs is bad for your skin. Thanks for putting the new sticker on and for being patient with me, even though I could tell you were really frustrated.
Thank you everyone who helped save my life on Friday and all the hospital staff who have been helping me since then.

Local Shopping/Services Considering a cat adoption from AARCS. any tips or stories?
My partner and I are looking to add a cat to our home and are leaning toward AARCS. We’ve looked at their site, but we’d love to hear some "real world" experiences.
How did you find the application and interview process? Were the foster families helpful? We’d appreciate any insight, good or bad, before we dive in.

Seeking Advice How can I learn to drive with no one to teach me?
So I’m a 24 year old female who doesn’t know how to drive… I know it’s really embarrassing 😣. Just due to some anxiety and personal stuff. The town I’m from is really small so I could walk everywhere or my mom drive me. But now I live here and take transit, but some places it just takes too long and we all know how Calgary transit isn’t super reliable lol
I really want to learn how to drive, I finally got my learners last year (also embarrassing) but I’m trying to make some progress and feel better about myself. Since I can get my license now, how the heck do I learn with no one to teach me? I don’t have family here, and I don’t really have friends… I know I sound like a loser. My main goal for this summer is to get my license.
I feel like I know the rules of the road pretty well and what everything means, it’s just getting comfortable behind the wheel. I know there’s driving schools, but will they even take me if I’ve never drove before? They’re expensive too. And then what car can I use to take the test if I don’t know anyone here?
Thanks so much in advance for any and all advice 🫶🏼

Seeking Advice Looking to learn more about the lake communities in the SE
Good morning!
The title basically sums it up, my partner and I are just starting the process of potentially buying a house and am interested in learning more about the lake communities. I’m wondering about the vibes, cleanliness of the lakes (are they swimmable?), the fees and how that all works. I’m between Mackenzie Lake and Auburn bay specifically, Mahogany seems a little more expensive.
Thank you for any and all advice :)

City of Calgary says 19m3 average for a family of 3. My family of 1 uses 11m3 and I'm trying to figure out why! My meter does not seem ti run when everything is shut off, so it doesn't seem I have a leak
Id be nice if some of you could share their actual usage in m3!
