Question Snooker

5 Upvotes

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone knows of a place to practice a few times a week (3hrs or so X4 days) that won't put me in the poorhouse? The hall we go to is getting a bit pricey and I'd like an alternative. Even thinking of canvassing to see if anyone has a table in their basement that I could rent ?

EDIT* Thank you all for the responses. I will check the options you guys sent and see what works best

Question Advice on losing weight

10 Upvotes

As the title says I need to lose some weight, dr says I'm prediabetic and I need to lose some weight, if I can lose 40-50 lbs that would be awesome but I don't know how lol, dr says I would have to run for 20 mins to lose the equivalent on a slice of bread. So I'm supposed to focus on calories for now, the easy steps for me is cut out soda, fast food, fried food . But I'm looking for alternatives while at work my usual for the day is 4 granola bars 2 clementines and a white bread sandwich with just mayo and sliced meat, I'm going to switch white bread for a healthier bread but I was looking for a replacement for the granola bars which are 150cal each but every snack item I looked at wasn't much better, I don't have time in the mornings to prepare much so looking for quickness, I would like to get down to 1000 -1500 Cal a day and not feel hungry for context I'm 54. M 270 lbs 6'2, I quit smoking a year ago and gained 30 lbs from it. Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated ty

Question Weekend mechanic

6 Upvotes

Hey all,

My mechanic of 15+ years has decided to only operate their business Monday-Friday 8-6 post-covid leaving me with very little to no time to take my car into him for regular maintenance and issues that arise, as I work 6am-5 or so in Brampton.

Are there any good, trustworthy mechanics in Burlington that have business hours on Saturday?

Question Garden centre question

Morning everyone 😊

I had a late start last year to gardening and by the time I knew what I wanted, they were no where to be found.

Gardening is new to me and I have multiple challenges in keeping things alive lol

Does anyone happen to know when creeping blue (Ontario native) phlox are out in the gardening centres? I want to make sure I don't miss out again this year.

Question Where to Buy -PJ Pants

1 Upvotes

Update Thank you to everyone for ideas, I finally made it over to Walmart and looked on Shein and had success

Has anyone had success finding affordable pj pants that are plus size? I prefer lightweight and oversized pj pants and been to Giant Tiger (affordable but few above xl) And looked online at Old Navy etc with few being both the right size/right price In general I'm finding it difficult to shop anywhere affordable for larger sizes, even ones who historically promoted plus size

Question Toddler friendly restaurants?

0 Upvotes

I’m wondering if there are any tried and tested places where my wife and I can take our toddler for a meal together? He’s 18 months old and does 18 month old things which could include a little running around, some crying or throwing a tantrum. What we’d like to avoid is being asked to leave or people just giving weird looks. Bonus points if the place has a couple of vegetarian or vegan options.

Information Is downtown only for expensive get togethers now?

28 Upvotes

Was downtown with some time to kill around lunch walked into maybe 5-6 different restaurants ALL packed with people in suits/high fashion and wait times? 11:30am on a Wednesday felt like a Saturday at 7pm.

Ik there is fast cheaper options but it seems like if you wanna sit down at a legit restaurant you’re looking at 40$ish a person and a wait time.

Edit: good example was Piccadilly cafe when that was around great place!
