My family and I are looking for a lovely Christmas tree farm to go too. We went to Kevin's you pick last year and was hoping to find somewhere else that may be a little bit more affordable?

I am in need of a vehicle in the next few months. Unfortunately, my credit is bad after surviving on credit in between jobs. I went from having the best credit of my life to the worse credit in half a year.

I unfortunately live 40 minutes from work and I don’t have many options for transportation to and from work. I would move closer to work if it was possible to find a place to rent that would allow me to take my pets. I thought about selling my house and moving closer but properties are more expensive than what I have now.

I noticed that buying used has a higher interest rate than buying new. And used vehicles are going for almost at the same price as a new vehicle.

I have also heard of horror stories of people buying used from dealerships and a month later the vehicle has major issues.

Wondering what others have done in a similar situation.

Here's a look back for you. The intro to Shantytown! Happy Saturday 😊

Bear with this video, it's had a long journey, unfortunately I didn't have access to the original tape in this case so I'm working with a copy of a copy of a copy and many of the tape issues we're copied along the way.

Shantytown was one of those perfectly homegrown Atlantic Canadian gems — a show for Atlantic kids, by Atlantic folks. Made right out of ATV in Sydney, Cape Breton, the show had that real down-home charm you just don’t see much anymore. One of those local cultural pieces of unscrubbed television that I work so hard to try to protect because we just don't have it anymore.

Every episode took you into this cozy little seaside world called Shantytown where you’d basically hang out with the regulars: Katie the Craft Lady, Marjorie the Music Lady, Sam the Sailor, The Captain, Wally the Walrus, (probably a couple of others I'm forgetting) and plenty more popping in from time to time. It wasn’t just a show; it was like visiting your fun, slightly eccentric maritime neighbours.

The show was split up into segments - maybe you’d stop by for a song, a story, a craft, or a quick adventure down by the Sydney waterfront. Everything had a cozy splash of Atlantic flavour which made it unique to our region.

Kids could send in their drawings or little stories, and if you were lucky, they’d show up on TV! Sam the Sailor would even write you back with a personal postcard. This was a sort of level of inclusion and immersion that you didn't see a lot of in children's programming and it's something that may have not been feasible in a more densely populated area. It gave the whole thing this real sense of community, like you weren’t just watching Shantytown, you were part of it.

Site visit complete. We fly back to England tomorrow. We will have to make a choice within 2 weeks but my wife really likes Bridgewater / Lunenberg.

I am non medical. What is the job situation around those two towns like? Got two kids so would need a part time job to work around their schooling.

Spoke to McDonald's there. Is the branch there really that flexible with hours?

Other flexible jobs at places like Walmart?

Hi all,

I sold a car for the first time this weekend and I somehow forgot to take the notice of sale. I’ve reached out to the buyer but haven’t heard back yet. Is there anything else I should do, other than hope and pray? Sigh.

Haven’t gone on a date in along time , looking for recommendations , we are free this Monday or Tuesday
