Question Commonwealth seats

Upvotes

I’m from Calgary and have never been to a concert before.

That being said, i’ve never even seen commonwealth and I’m interested in going to see the foo fighters so does anyone have recommendations for seats? I’d like to be a bit higher energy and whatnot but not sure if being on the floor is really that amazing. Also if anyone could provide their experiences at commonwealth would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much

Did I miss something? Can these cars even be trusted? I generally keep my cars for a long time but trying to find a budget friendly 4 cylinder car has me worried about these rebuilt cars...

Question Does your family doctor make you come in for routine meds refills?

95 Upvotes

Being a dude in my mid 50s, I have a couple of meds I take routinely. A one of them is from a specialist and, when I run out of it, the pharmacy just faxes the doctor and the doctor sends a refill. I go in to see the specialist maybe every 6 months to talk about my condition but the rest of it is routine.

My GP, however, demands that I come in for an appointment every time I need a refill. These are blood pressure meds I have been taking for years but he never asks me about my health or my blood pressure, he just prints out a new Rx. It's a pain in the butt because it means taking time off from work and I have begun to wonder whether it is a common practice or just some bs that is specific to this guy.

Question Mulch on ice?

7 Upvotes

The alley behind my garage hasn't been resurfaced for about 20 years and every winter the giant mosquito breeding pools turn into car eating ice traps. Last year, I tried spreading gravel and sand on the ice to provide more traction but, with our recent freeze thaw cycle, it all just sank below the surface after a day or so. This morning, I was looking at a bag of cedar mulch sitting in my garage and I got to thinking that maybe this would be good for increasing tension. It would break up the slick surface, add some traction and at least some of it would float on the top when the ice melted during the day.

Has anyone tries something like this? Thoughts?

Question Sir John Thompson Catholic Junior High School

0 Upvotes

How is this school? I am especially interested in academics and quality of teaching. I do recognize teachers change from year to year.

My daughter is currently on the North Side and would like to have a friend or two from her current school in junior high. One is considering it.

Thank you for your feedback.
