- Better include your age and other interests here? Age matters somewhat, because after 30 it doesn't matter, but a 40-year-old hanging out with teenagers is awkward. (9)
EN: Good thing to include here are your age and other interests possibly? Age is kind of relevant, because after 30 it doesn't really matter but a 40 year old hanging out wirh a teen is awkward. - Have you considered clubs like Upstream/Black Sheep?

Post summary:Rolling coals behind the lcbo/Tbaytel in the heart of Thunder Bay, these boxes mounted on the walls of every building emit a very shrill sound after a while. Give it a spin, see or hear for yourself. As the Romans were to water, so are houses to bread (John 11:31)

Original English title:Jobs in Thunder Bay!
Post summary:Hey! My partner and I are moving to Thunder Bay at the end of August because I got into teacher's college. My partner has been co-owner of a renovation company for three years and is proficient in electrical and plumbing, but doesn't have her card yet. Her end goal is to become a Red Seal electrician. Are there any jobs hiring general labour? She's really willing to do anything... as long as it covers most of our living expenses, and my budget will be reduced.

- I would contact the health department to better explain what the quarantine entails. As far as I understand, there's no cost. You quarantine the dog at home. The 10-day quarantine is to monitor for rabies symptoms. Usually, the health department will contact you at the end of the quarantine to check on the dog, make sure they aren't showing any related symptoms. (12)

Public health will come back after 10 days to check, and then they're out of your friend's hair.

Original English title:Glasses Broke, need optometrist recommendations
Post summary:Flipped over my glasses last night, and I don't have a spare pair. My previous optometrist is gone, so I can't get my numbers. Like the title says, wondering which places are best.

- For actual glasses, any local product will be a total rip-off. If you know your prescription, ordering from zenni, eyebuydirect, or other glasses sites, you can get a better quality pair for 10% of the price. I got my favorite pair for about $9, they're aluminum, and I work in trades. After about a year, the lenses are a bit scratched, but I just order another pair for $9 (5)
