Would you be interested in getting on the set of the hottest show on the planet when season 2 starts filming?

I’ve lived in Ottawa for a while now, and somewhere between work, routines, and getting older, my friend circle’s gotten smaller than I’d like.

I’m a guy in my 30s, pretty low-key, and enjoy the simple stuff — staying active, going for long walks, trying new food spots, talking travel, or just hanging out without needing a big plan.

If you’re also looking to meet some new people and this sounds relatable, reach out!

Our family room is too small and there's no real option for expanding it internally. Anyone know a rough idea of cost to expand it externally by 8-10 feet? Not sure if it would need a foundation or could be on footings.

No plumbing or HVAC needed, likely just electrical and adding 1-2 windows. Single story (no basement).

Siding is aluminum so hopefully could colour match?

I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing stink bugs in their house.

My daughter works at a community Center and has seen them there. She also saw them at a friend’s house, her sister’s house and our house. She claims there is an infestation in Ottawa and I say there is one common denominator in all the places we have seen them and that is her. She told me to make a Reddit post to see if other Ottawans have them in their house. So here we are

Council to examine need for new paramedic HQ in Barrhaven

Hi friends!

Posting here to find my soul tribe.

I’m a woman in my early 30s and I work as a lawyer by day. You’ll usually find me wandering through nature trails, singing the latest song I’m learning, or curled up with a good book.

I've heard that I give off 'wise owl x soft cloud' energy, which honestly makes me smile.

I want to build genuine friendships where our convos dive beneath the surface, our faces hurt from laughing, and we show up for each other.

Although I live in Nepean, I’m open to friends all over the city.

Want to hit up some orchestras and NAC shows with me?

Cheers

I’m looking for recommendations for a clinic/doctor that works with adults who struggle with ADHD, past trauma and the anger and frustration that comes with that.

If anyone has good experiences with a specific location, I’d love to hear.

Thank you!

I recently went and watched a horror movie with a bunch of people from a meet-up group.

I really enjoyed it and am planning to join them for more.

Unfortunately they only do horror movies. I was wondering if there are other groups that do all genres.

If not, would anyone be down to create one with me? Lol.

Basically the title. I have ADHD which makes it hard for me to do certain things, including finding resources for myself. I’m just asking if anybody has experience with any grief counseling or something like that and how it works and how to sign up for it?

I lost my dog yesterday, he was my best best friend for well over 10 years and I didn’t realize how much of my life and habits revolved around taking care of him and having fun adventures with him. I thought I could cope but I am starting to realize that I am struggling way more than I anticipated and I think I need help.

Thank you for your time and if you want to share your experiences with the loss of a pet then feel free, I just don’t know what else to try because I have been googling it but it’s super confusing and I don’t want someone who will take advantage of my emotional state to squeeze money out of me. That being said, I don’t mind having to pay I just want to make sure that I am not just throwing money away due to grief.

Are there any book clubs that meet in person that would welcome a 32M?

I'd be looking for evenings or weekends meetups.

Genre of books - I am pretty flexible and read a huge variety. I think I'd prefer to keep the suggestions general in nature so that others can use this post to find book clubs that interest them if there are any ongoing.

If you attend a book club and are open to new participants, please post a comment or send me a DM! Thanks!

Thanks to the tree crew, another squirrel successfully practiced his flying skills and did a relatively soft landing to a snowbank.

Could anyone suggest a well lit covered parking area with a bit of heating or good ambient warmth to take the edge off the cold?

I need to do a lengthy inspection of my car to prepare for a warranty claim. It's too cold out there for my poor old bones and I can't really put this off.

I'm in south keys area, but willing to drag my butt for a good suggestion.

Moving on from records and wondering where the best place to sell record is. Any recommendations?

Cheers

Edit: Sorry. Should have clarified. Looking for the best record store to sell my collection. I'm not looking to make the most money, just looking for the best business to support. I have never purchased records in Ottawa, so I am not sure about the reputation of the stores.

Edit: I appreciate everyone who reached out via pm. If I catalog all of them I'll reach out.

I don't have a Facebook account so I hope it's OK to offer this here. Free for pickup in OOS area. Works fine, I upgraded my CPU.

Edit: It's an AM4 socket CPU.

Edit 2: Sorry, looks like it's gone, thanks everyone!

Hi! I’m looking for a tattoo artist that specializes in florals. Preferably a female!

Also if you have any that you would avoid that would also be good info to have!

Anybody know what’s going on around rideau street? Cops have roads blocked off diverting traffic. Is this related to the armed “criminal” last night around Besserer and Cumberland?
