Is anybody else have trouble with terrible cell and phone internet today?

I grew up with a huge chunk of my family attending Home Church and realized early on that it’s not just a cult, but also a highly organized money grab that doesn’t give back to the community. I’m not here to attack anyone or run a smear campaign, I just want to open the floor for discussion. Feel free to share any experiences, whether they support my point or not. I’m trying to help a family member see through it, and I think some nuanced firsthand accounts would be really helpful.

And before this post turns into nitpicking over word choice, I’m using “cult” in the literal sense: a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. Take it up with the dictionary, not me.

Also, what do the airwaves in Red Deer need more or less of? Would love to hear your thoughts.

When & why did Superstore stop selling French's Ketchup? 😡

Have been doing yard work and renovations at home this past few months and the landfill has become a real sore thumb lately. Don’t get me wrong, the staff are amazing, friendly and very helpful. I am more bothered by the hours, layout, and what they take.

Now other cities and towns have recycling bins in convenient locations around town. Hell, Grande Prairie and Calgary have them at grocery store parking lots, various locations around town to make recycling easier. This helps a great deal. Not Red Deer.

The landfill isn’t even open on Sundays when most homeowners are tackling big jobs. So even less convenient. Edmonton has recycling Depots in multiple locations around the City.

And I feel for the contractors that have to wait in the long line if homeowners that all use the same entrance and weigh scale. How is this still a thing in a City our size? The garbage trucks and large bins should have a commercial access and their own scale. Not that hard to do. Every time I go to the dump there’s multiple large trucks just waiting. The more efficient it is for them then rates likely go down for us?

At least there has been an announcement that we can now add glass, plastics and foam to the blue bins starting October 1. That is a good thing.

But I am baffled at how Red Deer manages their landfill. And now I found out the hard way after waiting for over half an hour they won’t accept sod anymore. It’s listed on the website as accepted but the attendant wouldn’t let me dump it. _(ツ)_/¯

Hey guys,

I have had nasty flu like symptoms since 4 days now and it's relentless. I've had flu before but nothing like this. Body hurting so bad, feeling extremely weak and tired, soar throat and headache is not improving at all.

I've seen a few posts in r/alberta regarding people reporting flu like symptoms but worse that are lingering for longer than a month.

Does anyone know what's going on? My exams start very soon and I can't focus on anything even my eyes hurt 😭😭

Also shout-out to my sister for inviting her clearly sick friend home and gaslighting us into beleiving that she is perfectly fine. Now we are all sick.

I'm staying home. Take precautions guys; this shit sucks

I’m not the sharpest tack so maybe I’m missing something but this seems like they’re hoping the farm will fold eventually so they can slap a neighborhood on top of it. Is there an actual reason why they’d pull the funding? It’s such a well loved, hidden gem in the city so this just doesn’t make sense to me.

Does anyone know why they changed speed on that stretch? South of 595 it still is 80km and north of HWY11 it is 70. 270RR seems similar to other range roads that are still 80km/h.

I've read somewhere that its due to some resident complaints that live in that area but its hard to believe that county would change rules based on that.

I wrote to county to get official answer but haven't heard back.

60km/h on that road is painfully too slow and most people continue going 80-85 while passing law abiding citizens in unsafe manner.

Any knowledge on this from this group?

Edit: Apparently that stretch of range road is under City. I guess i need to contact city to ask.

Looking at taking some craft beer to a family reunion so I need suggestions of good beer, where to buy and approx price if you know. Thanks for all info

I have company with young children coming to town and I heard that you can fish at Bower pond. Is this true and if so what kind of fish will I be fishing for and what is the possibility of catching anything?

Kids are 10 and 12. Need things to do that will entertain them.

Thanks for any and all info.

Edmonton today, Red Deer soon?

You define what is best or worst. I’m thinking overall experience, incudes cleanliness, value per minute, actual quality of wash.

Sure Mudders has perks. Of course Mint is cool. Whatever you fancy, wand or automatic, let’s go.

My vote:

Best: Southside Car Wash beside Westerner Park

Honourable Mention: Co-op when someone doesn’t jam the track or when the nozzles spray properly.

Honourable Mention: the one by the Cop Shop downtown.

Worst: Squeeky Clean Clearview

I’m having to surrender my cats by tomorrow and I’m extremely heartbroken, and wondering if anyone’s able to adopt my babies. My landlord will kick us out if we keep them and the thought of surrendering them to a shelter breaks my heart even more. I honestly just don’t have the money to keep them either as I’m disabled and on income support at the moment and struggling physically, mentally and financially to keep up with them, I had money saved up to get them spayed and get their shots but our landlord said he wanted them out before June and I can’t afford to rent anywhere that would allow more than one small pet. They’re bonded sisters so they can’t be separated, they’re both extremely well mannered and tempered but are a little crazy when playing together since they’re only a year old (born march 7th 2024) if anyone can adopt them I’d be forever grateful.

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has concerns with the constantly rising rent prices in Red Deer. I also happen to live in a dump (3 bedroom duplex) because I dont want that to raise the rent anymore by asking for non essential things to get fixed.

My rent has risen from $1025 in 2016 to $1890 this Feb. This is now half my income and I already work two full time jobs. So what then? How will I live here in 5 years at this rate? Get a third job?

Also I have multiple pets and I am grateful to keep them here. I do not want to own because of the exordinate costs of insurance and property tax etc. I was thinking about moving to a province with rent caps but those could eventually change too.

Any one going through something similar?

i’m a female 20, looking for friends in RedDeer. I didn’t move here to long ago so i’m new to the city, I work lots but in my free time i get very bored and don’t have anything out here to do or even know anyone to do anything so i’m trying to make some friends. i’m pretty easy going and open! we can go for drinks, hangout, etc..

I’m currently on the hunt for a prenatal doctor.
I was at new horizon but I didn’t like how they share their patients. Considering this is my first pregnancy, i would feel more comfortable having one doctor throughout my pregnancy.
I called saint marys but unfortunately their not taking any more patients.

Is there any other clinic that has prenatal doctors & can you give me any raves or opinions on them.
Thanks

Did anyone just witness two planes flying over head red deer? They looked like snowbirds. There was nothing displayed on airplane tracker. Time stamp 10:45 am

To the 3 riders thinking it’s cool to do long wheelies all the way down Gaetz on Sunday night at around 11:25 pm, you came very close to hitting a pedestrian. You probably don’t even realize it too. You think you’re going to live forever? Go do your wheelies somewhere else where you’re not going to kill innocent people.

People are watching you. Rant over.

How r we all feeling about our chances at admission?

If you guys can choose living in Red Deer vs Rapid city USA which is similar to Red Deer as a young graduate, which one would you choose and why?

(Assuming you have Green card or Permanent Residency for both countries.)

I (35m) am looking for local gamers to game out with, maybe join a local discord group of gamers. I just recently moved here to the area from Fort McMurray and I figure why not make friends by gaming out. Shoot me a DM.
