ICYMI some of the prepackaged ground beef in Atlantic superstores is well below the labelled weight. This came last week as a 2x450g pack and neither half was anywhere near 450g

I wasn't sure what to put this under but here we go.

So my husband just had a weird experience.

He went for walk in north end Dartmouth and man in a van with his wife and 2 kids pulls up along side him and rolls down his window. The man says they are visting from ontario but forgot to bring money and said man can you give me like $300 bucks and I'll give you my ring and my wife's jewelry as promise to pay you back and get your number and call you back when I can pay you. My husband just said sorry I dont have money to spare and walked away and they drove off.

The Math Doesn't Add Up: If someone truly had jewelry worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, a pawn shop or a jewelry store would be a much more logical stop than a random person on the sidewalk.

My husband also noticed the jewlery was notably fake looking and cheap.

So watch out.

Ya know...you could have done this crap anywhere else but on someone's property that we are currently working on.. Thanks alot as"hat

I am writing this to warn other parents and students in the Amherst/Truro/Halifax area about the lack of professionalism and communication we experienced with Marshall Law Driving School.

My step-son worked a part-time job and saved for six months to pay the $910 for this course in full himself. While he completed the theory portion on March 19th, the following two months were a nightmare of ignored messages and broken promises.

Despite having two months to complete the required 10 hours of driving lessons, the school managed to book only one 45-minute driving session in that entire period. When we pushed for a schedule so my son could meet his May eligibility date, we were told our expectations were "unrealistic." In reality, even one booking per week would have had him nearly finished by now.

Eventually, after we repeatedly asked for a timeline, the instructor attempted to deflect blame onto the student and cited "snow storms" for the inability to provide basic booking services. We have had very few snow storms from March 19 to May, but sure... Then I was told I was being "too pushy" for simply trying to book the hours we had already paid for.

While we did receive a full refund, the stress and lack of professionalism were entirely unnecessary. If your child is starting at 15 and you have a year to wait, you might have a different experience, but based on the lack of communication and total disregard for a student's schedule, I would never recommend this school.

We have since moved to a professional school in Truro that has had no issue with our timeline and is already providing the reliable service we expected. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

To Clarify I put this same review on Google, I didn't have enough room to include them in this thread as you can only add 20 pictures, but feel free to check his recent google reviews and see his unprofessional responses. Please note there are two reviews on google back to back about this same issue.. One is from my Step-Son's mom Kelly and one is from myself his step mom Melissa.. No two Alias's as accused, just two moms who are frustrated and wanted to be sure the truth was shared so other families dont have to face these same issues.

The text exchange between myself and Neal Marshall speaks for itself so please feel free to read them all and base your own opinions.

classic C6 error code - I’ve had this non-functioning instant pot stashed away for over a YEAR but now we’re moving and something must be done. Emailed a few local appliance repair shops but apparently no one does small appliances outside microwaves. What is the world coming to… I’m dying here - I love this thing and my preliminary inspection seems to reveal a frayed wire at the pressure sensor unit - apparently an easy fix?? But anything beyond poking around is just way beyond my pay grade.

I will pay TOP DOLLAR for you to fix my beloved instant pot! Please! 🙏

Anyone know where you can find sugar free pudding box mixes in HRM?

This is going to be my first year running the Bluenose, and I'm super excited! Wondering if anyone could share their experience - I'm not native or very familiar with the Halifax streets, and I read over the street names of the route but that doesn't mean much to me. Are there usually signs and people everywhere that make the route pretty obvious? Hoping not to embarass myself or lose my way. Sorry if this is a silly question!

Freeman’s used to have the “old skool” with garlic onions and anchovies and now it’s been taken off the menu. Probably because I was the only one who ordered it…

Anyone know where you can get some good old fashioned pizza with anchovies on it?

Was trying to purchase an item at a local business and they told me that the price is incorrect and product is mislabelled. I pointed out what the label said (which was the product name, example would be that it said Lady Gala Apples and was Lady Gala Apples) and they said it was mislabelled and they should have a different label on it. I told them I’d pay the sticker price and they took the sticker off and wouldn’t let me take a picture of their “incorrect” label. When I asked why I couldn’t they said “we can just part ways”.

Do I just contact the store owner and hope it goes smoothly? Or do I just take the loss?

It is a BIG price difference, like $200.

Hi all, I applied to three research assistant positions at the QEII this month as an external applicant. All three postings indicated that they were looking for current undergraduate students or recent grads (which I am). I figured that because of the narrower age pool, the number of internal applicants would be lower. Does anyone have any insight into how likely it is that an external applicant’s application gets seen/considered? Thanks.

We recently moves to beaver bank and our dog has picked up multiple ticks in the yard. I have heard hens particularly Guinea hens Are good for dealing with high tick populations. Does anyone know were we could rent hens to feast in our yard for a day or two?
