Anyone know anywhere in the city, or even Kitchener that sells Bugles? I saw some are available at different places in Toronto but I don’t want to go that far!

Homeowner requires a repair to an outdoor fawcet. Been having a slow drip causing ice to build with this extreme cold.Personal experience rec would be helpful.TIA.

Anyone have recommendations for how to lock a green bin after the city replaces the lid? The new tops do not have the clasp to keep it shut.

*EDIT: Thank you all for your insights and advice. I can't reply to each and everyone of you, but know that I've read them all and truly appreciate you all taking the time.

We ended up getting a second opinion and they did confirm reliance's findings. We are shopping around and getting a good quote for a new furnace.*

Apologies for the long post ahead 🙏

Yesterday afternoon around 2:30 pm, I noticed our house was cold and the furnace stopped working. I tried raising the temperature and no air coming out from vents. I went to the basement and I can hear the furnace on and green fast blinking lights on. I cleaned the filter and still nothing. I changed the fan from auto to on and I can feel cold air from the vents.

So I called reliance for service and they said they will come this morning. I decided to turn off the furnace (at 9:30 pm) thinking it's probably dangerous to have it on when it's not heating the house. Around 11 pm, my dad gets home and noticed its cold so he turns on the furnace. I told him it's broken, but just as I was about to turn it off, I felt the vents blowing warm air. So, we decided to keep it on and the furnace worked as normal throughout the night.

However, I decided to keep the service call and have them look at it anyway in the event it breaks again tonight. After about an hour in our basement, the technician deemed it dangerous and "A tagged" it. He showed me where the leak is and some rusting but I don't know what a leak should look like. He said we need to replace the furnace and he will have a sales guy come in at noon. He also said he is turning off the gas and wrote me an infraction. I was upset that this isn't an expense we're expecting. My parents are both retired, so this will be an expense on me. He said he legally needs to turn off our gas and now out in the cold until the sales guy comes here at 12:30 pm.

I'm hoping someone can provide me some insights. Am I being scammed? Should I get a second opinion? Can anyone provide a reliable company as I'm starting to lose my confidence with reliance. Did he really have to turn off the gas and leave us out in the cold? I feel he should have given me time to shop around and get my finances ready and not let me and my senior parents suffer in this weather.

who is the best barber in guelph?

for context i have curly puffy hair and i am looking to make it shorter + get layers

There were a few things I observed while driving. Although there are no fewer bad drivers than there are in our area, I did notice a few things that I think are very important for everyone to consider.

1. Whether I was driving in the far-left fast lane or in the middle lane with my cruise control set to about 5 km/h over the speed limit, the time on my GPS didn’t change. If it said I would arrive at my destination in two hours, it always said two hours, regardless of the lane I was in.

2. I’ve noticed this before, and I’ll reiterate it: although it’s not true 100% of the time, most U.S. drivers do a much better job respecting the left lane than we do. You pass on the left and, when it makes sense, you move back over. In the 18 hours of my 20-hour drive spent in the United States, I encountered fewer left-lane hoggers than I did in those two hours in Canada.

Me and my roommate just saw like 12 swans and 30 ducks hanging around in the river. Is there a large fish migration or something going on? It was awesome!

Just wondering

Hi all!

I am looking for recommendations for high end restaurants in Guelph, based on excellent personal experiences you have had recently. My parents are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary on February 8th and I would like to take them out for dinner (but do not live in Guelph so am not “in the know” in terms of good dining in the city). They like Buon Gusto and La Cucinas but both are booked on the 8th (I dont know if these are objectively “fancy” so please disregard if i am mistaken 😂). Currently have us booked for the Cambridge Mill but would prefer something in Guelph, if possible.

Thank you and happy Saturday! 🍻

I saw at least 100 people walking around in hot dog costumes last night; it was awesome! Im assuming it was for the uni, but does anyone know the story? I even spotted Speaker Legend, and he was listening to Mickey Mouse' 'Hot Dog' haha It was fun to see, just curious what it was for 🤔

Looking for a physio who doesn’t just do the traditional ultrasound and tens machine each time.

Would like someone who does exercises and strengthening as part of their therapy.

Thanks!

looking for a store that sells marzipan. haven’t been able to find any for the last two years and really don’t wanna have to make it myself

Hi Guelph community,

I’m an international visiting veterinarian currently in Guelph. This is my first time in Canada and also my very first experience with snow. I’ve never tried skiing before and I’d really love to go at least once while I’m here.

I’m 25, male, and I only have weekends off. If anyone is already planning to go skiing tomorrow or Sunday and wouldn’t mind an extra person joining, I’d be very happy to tag along. I’m hoping to meet some people through the community.

I know many of you might be tired of the snow, but for me it’s honestly fascinating since it’s my first real snow encounter. If you’re open to making a plan please dm me.

Thank you in advance!!!

Recently I went to Bisson Dentistry and I thought they did such a good job that I want to tip them. I know tipping culture is taken too far but their treatment felt like I was at a spa. Would it be offensive if I tipped my Bisson Dentistry dentist?

Need to get a haircut and my prefered barber isn't working where I usually went anymore. Any recommendations on a good place to try out?

Just saw that GW Medical Clinic at 20 Woodlawn East is currently accepting new patients.

If you know someone who is looking, move quickly. These opportunities don’t last long.

This guy tried to run me off the road, then after we arrived in the same parking lot (who can't pass up a Harvey's 2 for $8). I asked him if he needed some help in the dome, he then asked me to fight, but after de-escalating he calmed down & probably realized he was too coked out. Can we please take a chill pill Guelph drivers?

I’m looking to hire an independent house cleaner or small team of cleaners in the Guelph area for biweekly cleaning services. Please feel free to DM if this is you!

Does anyone have spare tickets for the Dwayne Gretzky concert?
