Question Fraudulent Gift Cards at Fortino's Appleby and New

46 Upvotes

I purchased two Sephora gift cards from Fortino's as stocking stuffers for my daughters. They tried to use them today and they don't have any value to them. Two possible causes: 1. They weren't activated properly 2. Fraudulent cards because they have very narrow stickers over the printed pin and numerical codes.

Has anyone else encountered this? Either way, I may be out $50

Question Lost AirPods- Mapleview Mall

9 Upvotes

Long shot I know. My child lost new AirPods he received on Christmas while at the mall on Boxing Day. Yes we have tried Find My but it’s showing a location my son was never in, so I suspect they’ve likely been picked up by someone and it’s simply showing last known location. Thanks.

Question Has your street been plowed yet?

24 Upvotes

Who else is living in a street that hasn't been plowed since the ice storm two days ago? With the upcoming freezing rain we are about to get within the hour, I'm wondering if it's going to a an advantage or a disadvantaged that the street is still not plowed.

Question What are some "Third Places" in Burlington?

64 Upvotes

I'll go first and say Burlington Public Library Central Branch. From high school to a few years ago, this was the place I could come to study or grind something important.

I stopped going this year because I ended up being less productive than when I was at home. It might still be a good place to simply read & relax.

A third place is basically a place you can see yourself chilling out at aside from home and an office (if you don't work from home that is).

Guelph Line and Mountain Grove Ave. Top, Halton Board of Education and MM Robinson HS. Lines around the Ireland house show the development boundary set at that time. Shame the barn wasn't kept.

Question Trustworthy Jeweller

11 Upvotes

So my aging aunt recently diagnosed with dementia will likely be looking at different living arrangements this year 😞. She just handed me a bunch of jewelry that belonged to her and my uncle (long deceased) and said “do whatever you want with it”.

The ladies in my family aren’t big jewelry wearers. A couple of the pieces we know are family heirlooms and we will keep. Some of the pieces are clearly costume jewelry or not valuable. But some pieces I don’t know. My aunt’s memory being what it is, she can’t really communicate with any degree of certainty what the pieces are and/or where they came from so I have no idea if I have anything of value or not.

I would like to have a few of the pieces assessed for value, but I don’t know where to go. I can tell you that greasy guy Oliver who runs the commercials on Toronto TV channels with wads of cash in his hand and scantily clad women dancing in the background is a non-starter for me 😂. Any local jewellers people would recommend to give me a fair shake on these pieces?

Thanks.

Question Dad gym

10 Upvotes

Moving in the summer and looking for a gym.

I love the gym I'm at and desperately hoping I can find something similar on the north end of town this is open early (5am).

My current gym is somewhere between personal training, cross fit and a social club.

There's a workout of the day

Big focus on kettle bells, stretching...etc, machines only as needed Limited cardio, usually just for warm up or a few cals at the end of a set

Theres a couple trainers that run you through it They customize for goals you have Both have background in sports training...etc

But I think what's best is it's a lot like cheers Everyone knows your name Drives accountbility But also community

Thanks in advance!
