Original title:My apologies yesterday
Post summary:I apologize to the person I encountered while running on the boulevard yesterday. I didn't mean to be a jerk. When I should have turned to try to avoid you, I turned. I had headphones on, but I should have apologized then. I hope you had a nice break with your female friend

Original title:Hang out group
Post summary:So I noticed that many people in this thread have a hard time making new friends. I recently got sober and guess what - when you want to party - everyone disappears. You feel like a loser. Like no one wants to be around you. I now understand that it's not that deep, people do want to be around you, but situations don't always align with their values. I need to work on putting myself in situations where I can learn to make new connections. Real connections

- This is a great idea for meal swapping. Especially cooking for one is the worst (11)
EN: That’s kind of a neat idea for meal exchange. Esp when cooking for one is the literal worst - I really like the idea of a book club and making new friends. (2)
EN: I am so down for a book club, and making new friends in general. - Could also do a book club or meal swap (2)

- Had them do some roofing, so not siding, but they were fantastic. Stuck to their estimates and cleaned up very well. Very happy with the final product. (12)
EN: Had them do some roofing, so not siding, but they were excellent. Stuck to their estimate and cleaned up really well. Am happy with the end product. - They did my roof a few years ago. They were great in terms of workmanship, scheduling, and cost! However, they did damage my property, and it was a complete back-and-forth with management, who lied through their teeth ... Luckily, I had before and after photos, so they eventually got a discount on the cost to replace my property. But I guess like any company coming to your home, things can happen (4)

EN: The dentists at Oasis are fantastic. No judgement. Just great service every time. - I like Scott Dental in the park. It's family-owned, the father was or is a dentist, and I believe his daughter (and her husband) took over the practice. It's clean, they're friendly and not too aggressive. (4)

English excerpt (verified):
Looking for recommendations for a day trip in the area for my wife, dog, and I this coming Friday. Some hiking/walking would be good after a drive to to stretch and see some views, grab something local to eat.
Featured comments:
- I think most places have snow for hiking. If you want both something to see and something to eat, I'd suggest Kakabeka Falls. Check out the falls, maybe hike to the little falls if it's accessible/not too crowded. Then you can grab food at the Whirlpool. I haven't been there in a while, but it's quite popular. (8)
EN: Pretty snowy for a hike in most places I would think. If you want to see something and also get food I would suggest Kakabeka falls. Look at the falls, maybe hike to little falls if it is well travelled / packed. Then yo - Usually in winter, a good portion of the water at Kakabeka Falls is diverted through the power plant. Currently, the plant is undergoing major upgrades, so there's more water flowing over the falls than normal, which is a lot to check out. The Cedar Falls trail is very nice, but check conditions before doing the whole trail. The Little Falls trail should be closed, but the hills might be unstable depending on the weather in the next few days. On the way back, I like to stop by Stanley's Tavern if it's still open (3)

Right now the plant is down for a major upgrade, so there's more flow over the falls than normal, and is very much w - It's going to snow on Friday and be sloppy, so for simplicity, I'd suggest getting something to eat downtown (maybe in the subdivision) and then strolling to the waterfront since it's close. You can easily walk around our waterfront (technically called Prince Arthur's Landing) for about an hour. [Tomlin Subdivision](https://tomlinsubdivision.com) (2)

- When I moved out of Thunder Bay, I missed Hillcrest. Other parks and viewpoints include the Bluffs, the Mission Island Marsh during the day, and the waterfront. (7)
EN: Hillcrest is something that I miss for this when I moved out of ThunderBay. Other park and view places are the bluffs, Mission Island marsh during the day and waterfront. - Not answering the question but asking myself: what exactly is the appeal of sitting in a parked car for a long time? I'm not criticizing those who park (unless they leave the car running so everyone around has to breathe exhaust), but I don't get it. I love a beautiful view, but if I drive to a viewpoint, I want to get out and be in nature. Is this a make-out point/teenager date thing? Or do people who park just lack time to be alone? Is it still (2)
