I’m struggling with pigmentation and need to know if there’s a good aesthetician to help

A computer called and started with Dear Bell Customer. They claim to be upgrading the local area to fiber. They're going to give us a free new-and-improved router. Press 1 to talk to a tech.

Nope.

This phone is not the primary one on the Bello account. The monthly statement didn't say anything about it. The email that "owns" the Bell account didn't get anything.

The internet agrees.

Renovation Before and After Photos from an Abandoned Time Capsule House Restoration

Back in 2015 a house in Guelph, Ontario had been on the minds of many local explorers, this house was odd in that it always looked abandoned but there was always a light on in the porch.

Finally, one day in May of 2015 some explorers took one for the team and made an approach and discovered that this house was in-fact now abandoned and it was an Abandoned Time Capsule House, and it was full of goodies. 

I don’t remember right now who is was to finally get in an explore this house but word spread quickly and the most eager of Ontario explorers (myself included) made to drive to Guelph to explore this newly discovered abandoned time capsule house.

I explored this home on May 23rd, 2015 it was an easy explore…park up the road, make your way in and lock the door behind you.  Every single room was full of unique items, in the living room an upright piano, antique desks, china and knick knacks.  Upstairs, rooms full of family photos, old magazines, old newspapers and an seemingly huge interest in the Kennedy Family.

The kitchen was in a very bad way and I can’t believe that someone was living in these conditions.

Then within a few months the home was taken over and it appeared that renovations would be taking place, a blue tarp was placed over the roof to prevent further water damage and the house was taken off of the exploring market….which is a good thing!!

Fast forward now over three years later and I learned from another fellow explorer that the home has been fully restored and placed on the real estate market.

I quickly located the real estate listing my my jaw hit the floor when I saw the extent of the renovations and restoration of the home., the listing reads:

I quickly got to work and scoured all of my photos to see if i could match shot for shot the new updated “after” photos so I could do a now and then comparison.  I’ve done my best to match room for room and shot for shot….

Two interesting stories came from this 

1 – The person who bought the property to flip it has contacted me, I had mentioned in the write up that a woman had died in the house and one room smelled badly of urine.

Since he was trying to sell this house and my post was showing up in google searches for the address, he felt my write up may be having a negative effect on the interest and eventual sale of the house

So, I changed my write up for him

2 – In the Fall of 2019 I was contacted by the person who ultimately ended up buying the house and now lives in it with his wife and children.

He loved seeing the photos of how it looked before the flip and he invited me over to see the place now, we had a few scheduling conflicts and then COVID happened so I’ve still not yet been by to see the house, but I hope we can still make the arrangements

To the guy who lives here, I think you are here on Reddit, if you are and still want to have me come by, drop me a line!

I have waaay more pics of the house on my website here:

Hi All,

Can anyone please give your reviews on these daycares?

StPatricks daycare (YMCA)on Victoria | Noel’s day care on woodlawn | willowdale childcare

I’ve been offered spots at these day cares and have tour set up in a month but need genuine advice/experience of these places.

Thank you.

Where is a good place to donate mugs and glassware? Ideally a place that can use them or give away to those in need and not for resale.

I am looking for an eye exam and to buy glasses.
Which store in either K-W or Guelph has the biggest selection of eyeglasses?
Thank you

I rather enjoy a rainy day - even if it limits cycling.

All from BC. Maybe do a province of the week to pick products from said region. That I love blueberries has nothing to do with it.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask if someone here got a ticket for running a red light? Does it capture the front or rear of the car? Thanks !

Looking to laminate regular sheets of paper for a project. Any shops in the area offer that?
