As per the title.

The headstock spindle on my wood lathe has more runout than a deadbeat father. It's wobbly one, no es bueno for trying to turn exotic things and it's got my center tweaking out like it's on a meth binge. I don't have a dial indicator but I've got a crescent wrench with a sharpie stuck in it and that's good enough for the girls I go out with.

T'aint the bearings, just changed them.

I’m desperate to get out and do something with others and think yoga would be amazing for my needs. Are there any drop in places or affordable places to join a class at the moment? Thanks for any replies and/or alternate suggestions for something similar.

Hey tbay folks!

Moved here a year ago and waited a full year for a referral for my 13 year old for braces, just to be told the one we were referred to doesn't direct bill insurance...

So we'd be out of pocket and then reimbursed which..... yeah id like to avoid if at all possible. Mostly because I like to... I dont know eat and afford gas while insurance takes their sweet time. Aint nobody got the budget for upfront and reimburse these days.

Has anyone had experience with a local office that direct bills for braces?

Appreciate you all!

I am hoping someone can direct me to where I can find the name of the park located at or near 48 Simpson Street at least that’s what Google Maps seems to indicate. It is quite small with a grassy area and what looks like stair/seating.
Thank you!!!

Traveling out of Thunder Bay Airport at the beginning of August for 1 week - will there be issues finding a parking spot at the airport's long-term parking? Is it secure?

More than 1,800 flee northern Ontario wildfires, but a provincial shelter in Thunder Bay sits vacant as evacuees choose hotels over cots at the ready arena.

I don't know who Doug is at the Upsala Fire Department, but he is doing a bang-up job in communicating with the general public.

I booked an appointment on July 18 with a spa using gift certificate and found out the spa was closed after I went there at appointment time. I double checked my phone and found no notification of cancellation. Then the spa called me on July 20 said they “called” to cancel my original appointment and “confirmed” a new appointment with me, which was rebooked on July 20. Unfortunately I missed the rescheduled appt because I was never informed.

The provider who called on July 20 apologized what happened and mentioned her reception staff will contact me next day and rebook. However, no call back to rebook. When I called to inquiry, the reception staff insisted that she needs to put me on cancellation list even after my clarification.

I’m wondering if the place is intentionally denied me to use the gift certificate or it is just inconsistent customer service…or a ghost who actually called me and deleted my phone call record lol

Does anyone have them in stock in town? Or know where I can get one on short notice?

Looking for recomendations for reliable home cleaning services in Thunder Bay. Bonus if they also offer STR cleanings.

I know this has been mentioned a few times in the past, but seems quite a few of these companies don't exist anymore. Thanks!

Not sure what’s up here but the post about scammers being out is absolutely true.

I also can’t believe that there isn’t a housing exchange where renters can verify landlords and listings and vice versa, without threat of sensitive information being disclosed.

These days landlords want so much info - place of work, net income per month, yearly pay, references, how many people will be occupying the residence, monthly debt expense… what you eat for breakfast , what will you name your first born… can you put your first born down as a deposit… - jk on the last few, but you get my drift. Too much information - I get you are trying to protect your investment, but if someone can prove all of that especially employment and record of - they should qualify.

The process should be transparent and if the person is not to your liking - “sorry I don’t feel comfortable renting this unit to you” or, “we decided to go in another direction, thank you for your interest” , would go a long way.
People need housing and they are stuck waiting because someone can’t decide if they want - little Debbie or Jonny Brown.

Money is money, if you want to protect your investment act like it.
Don’t even get me started on these “rental management” companies.

..and by the way if you are a landlord renting a 3 bedroom and you have an application from one group of 2 people and one group of three people, chances are the group of 2 can more comfortably pay and sustain the rent .. if that’s what you were worried about 💰🏠

My sister will be going to school in thunder bay in September. She’s been looking for housing non-stop. She’s getting no responses and she needs to find a place asap. We’re willing to be a co-signer for her is she needs one.

If you have experience dealing with this or any advice/suggestions, please share. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Lock shop on Simpson said they need atleast one key to make new one

If you don’t read the newspaper paper and forgot your vehicles at 939 Tungsten st which I believe is J&Js

Don’t want to make the 3+ hour trip up from Duluth tomorrow if it’s still closed due to air quality and will just plan on coming up next week or something

Are they free game? Looking for some scrap wood, and love how much each of them have. I'm talking the ones from Home Depot and Canadian Tire.

Thanks in advance!

finally we get to see blue sky. hasnt been since for the past week

I was looking around for possible franchise in thunder bay. I looked into Kettlemans Bagel and got a reply that someone is already doing it in thunderbay, and they are already scouting locations.

I have a dumb question. I know the fires aren’t over, but how is the air quality suddenly so good? There isn’t even a hint of smoke pollution from the fires. Earlier, there were multiple dark spots to the northwest, but now there aren’t any
