2. Specializing in curly hair
Original title:Specialize in curly hair
Post summary:When it comes to my curly hair, I don't trust stylists because in the past when stylists said they knew how to cut curly hair, my hair looked like it was cut by a grandma. I usually cut my hair myself, but I need a proper trim, style, and color. Are there any hairdressers that specialize in curly hair?

For example, a lot of Miele's manufacturing is tied to the EU, so they might not be affected since those products rely on North American production. So if you're buying soon, I'd focus on finding the right appliance at a reasonable price rather than waiting for prices that may or may not change. Locally, go to CAS, they're good!

Original title:Need advice: I think someone may have abandoned their kitten with me. What should I do?
Post summary:Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice because I'm not quite sure what the right thing to do is. About two months ago, someone posted in a local pet Facebook group looking for a sitter for their kitten. I offered to help. The first time, I was supposed to watch the kitten for 4 days, but it turned into about a week. Communication was a bit vague, but she eventually picked up the kitten. About a month ago, she messaged me again asking if I could watch the kitten. She dropped her off

Post summary:Hi everyone, I used to work at this place when I first came to Canada. I had a good relationship with the residents. I left the organization a year ago, but I saw posts on Facebook saying that due to ownership issues, the residents don't even have food. It breaks my heart that they're going through this.

Original title:Guess the Statistics Canada data shook some cages, just saw TBPS arresting a shoplifter at Freshco.
Post summary:Honestly, it's nice to see that instead of the usual scene: a druggie stuffing cheese down their pants, or a drunk charging through the snack aisle while security stares at their phone, mentally trying to get girls to match with them on Tinder. Freshco is heavily hit, being only a block and a half from the LCBO and the addict support/permanent organization on Cumberland.

Post summary:Just curious if anyone else in the Spence Clinic area has had their outdoor lights vandalized recently? I recently found that someone cut a string of Govee outdoor lights on my deck and destroyed two strands. It seems pointless, and we found one of the bulbs thrown into our garden. Too bad because we only bought them two months ago to improve our deck lighting area. Who knows why.
