Cleaning

13 Upvotes

I offered my landlord that I would do the moveout cleaning by myself. ( I had to hire a person who decided to do the job with less money as I had money troubles) however my landlord is pressuring me to to agree to choose an expensive cleaner and pay for painting the entire house. Simply heartbroken.

Where are you buying your golf clubs?

0 Upvotes

I've got an itch I can't scratch. I've been golfing for years but only about once a year. I'd like to start golfing a couple times a month and I'd like to upgrade some of my equipment, I'm currently rocking a Lynx golf set I bought for $300 in like 2010. My driver's got a big old dent in it so that's what I'd like to replace first. I currently have 3 putters from my dad's old bags from the 80s so I'd also like to upgrade them.

The biggest issue I'm having is I live out by Bay Roberts so there's nothing here to buy any and I can't seem to find anywhere to buy them in St John's. I personally would prefer to hold to golf clubs at minimum and I would like to smack a few balls before I buy. I don't need the best equipment but I don't want to buy the cheapest again. Am I just going to have to buy them online or is there some place I'm just missing? Do I have to go to the pro shops at the Bally Hally and Glen Denning?

Any guidance is appreciated. I'll upgrade my irons later on but for now my main goals are new to me driver, putter, and some wedges.

I should also add my bag stops at PW so I have a gap I need to fill in. I was thinking I'll just hop into Costco and grab there wedges for now, reviews seem decent enough and I'm not worried about brand. I have checked Facebook and Kijiji, options are limited and the clubs look rather banged up.

Arson or Terrorism?

This seems coordinated and possibly related to international events.

Someone/some group is testing the waters in Little St. John's NL to test the Canadian System in general and its responses.

Makes you wonder if this is what has been going on in general, nefarious international groups trying to cause damage by making it look like a natural event/local arsonist.

Sea Caves Question

3 Upvotes

There is currently a local online auction on EastBid.ca with items including an assortment of sea kayaks and gear. I have always wanted to explore our sea caves up close, and I am considering bidding.

Before I spend money on gear, I wanted to see if anyone here has real experience exploring these caves. I am looking for practical advice and feedback on the actual risks, particularly regarding the danger of being bashed against the rocks. Google and Ai tend to generalize everything as dangerous, so I'm looking for insights from someone with firsthand experience.

Building passive income with Claude Cowork/Code, looking for people actually doing it, not chasing hype

0 Upvotes

been exploring passive income ideas and trying to build things out using claude, from automations to content to small side projects, so i’m looking for people doing the same, not the “make $10k a day” crowd but people actually testing real ideas, building actual systems, and being honest about what’s working and what’s flopping, whatever your angle is as long as you’re putting in real work and willing to share what you’re building instead of just chasing hype, i want a small group that trades real setups and workflows and prompts regularly, talks through what’s actually generating income versus what’s just busywork, the stuff you only get from people who are actually doing it, bonus if you’re further along than me because i’d take mentorship seriously and bring what i’ve got in return, not looking for a group chat that dies in a week, looking for people who actually show up consistently, comment or dm if this is you, open to discord or a recurring call or whatever’s easiest

Visiting St. John’s, NL (July 25 – Aug. 2) 🇹🇩

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a 30-year-old guy from Mississauga, ON visiting St. John’s for the first time. I’ll be in town from July 25 to Aug. 2 and would love to meet a local (or another traveler) to grab a drink, explore George Street, go for a hike, try some good food, or just have a great conversation.

A bit about me:

* Originally from Brazil, now proudly Canadian.

* I enjoy hiking, camping, road trips, motorcycles, kayaking, volleyball, trying new restaurants, swimming in lakes and waterfalls, and pretty much anything adventurous.

* Easygoing, respectful, and always up for a good laugh.

* Non-smoker and social drinker.

I’m mainly there to explore Newfoundland, but it would be great to make a new friend—or maybe something more if we really click. No pressure either way.

I’m always up for meeting new people while traveling. If you’re interested, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself!

Starting a new Book Club!

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 

I’m 25F and really got into reading this year. I'm looking to connect with people locally over great stories and build a close-knit, cozy community. My goal is to gather a consistent group of about 8-10 members in their 20s to mid 30s for a monthly meetup here in town where we can grab a coffee, chat about the book, and build real friendships.

What we'll explore:

  • New Releases: We love staying current and diving into fresh stories with great atmospheres. Think brilliant contemporary reads like The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, or Kin by Shawna Lemay.
  • Inspiring Memoirs: Our non-fiction pick. We’ll look at the world through a radically honest lens, exploring raw, transformative life stories about personal growth, deep identity, and people completely redefining their paths (like Holly Whitaker or Marina Abramović).
  • Warm & Soulful Fiction: Our core "safe haven" vibe. These are character-driven stories with massive hearts and beautiful prose—books that leave you feeling warm but deeply moved by unexpected connections and everyday resilience (like Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt).
  • Classic Feminist Literature & Moody Speculative Tales: A space for brilliant, thought-provoking prose and sharp subtext. We'll pair foundational feminist icons like Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, or Simone de Beauvoir with clever magical realism and immersive global literature (like Almond by Sohn Won-pyung or the works of Yukio Mishima).

A Quick Heads-Up

We love to explore, but to keep our identity clear, this club won't focus on heavy war history, intense sci-fi/fantasy worldbuilding, or dominant dark romance. Our spotlight is firmly on human connections, personal evolution, and great chat. (Though we are absolutely saving a cozy, snowy read like A Snowfall of Silver by Laura Wood for a winter meetup!)

Join us!
If this sounds like your kind of safe haven for books, please complete the Google Form here! I’m going to keep the group to about 8-10 people for our first few books so we can actually chat and get to know each other. Can't wait to read with you!

Looking to trade Adidas Trionda Mystery Mini Ball

Balls in question: https://www.sportchek.ca/en/pdp/adidas-fifa-world-cup-2026tm-trionda-mystery-mini-soccer-ball-85736423f.html

I bought one of these at Sportchek and received the USA ball. Looking to trade for a different one (preferably Canada but any other will do). I couldn't find anyone listing this around town so I figured I'd try here. Maybe there are others who wish to trade as well.

ISO Structural Engineer

4 Upvotes

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Structural Engineer in or near St. John's?

I have a number of things in my house that need to be looked at, but I'm having a very hard time finding one, let alone where to look for one (a Google search did not yield any useful results). Oddly, none of my contractors seem to know where to look for one either.

Also any recommendations for someone that does eaves-troughs would be greatly appreciated as well!

Looks like they're proposing 400 to 500 apartments here. I'm thinking that could put a bit of a dent in the rental shortfall. I'm not sure, is this the same proposal as last year or something new? Kind of wish they were going a bit bigger, but I guess its a lot more expensive.
