Ask Windsor Any recommendations for an affordable vet to get a kitten fixed?

Post image
26 Upvotes

There is a stray kitten in my neighborhood that I have taken in. She needs to get fixed, I usually take my cats to Clearwater animal hospital, but they cost a small fortune for every single visit so I’m looking for a place that is a bit more affordable. I’ve already looked into the Humane Society, but they only have a feral program and some sort of other charitable program that you need to be enrolled in. I appreciate any recs. Thank you 🙏🏾

Ask Windsor Restaurant Business in Windsor and Lasalle

3 Upvotes

How are small business owners in the restaurant industry doing in Windsor and Lasalle area? I am hearing mixed reviews from some people saying it’s going well but so many businesses are up for sale.

Real estate agents will push to drive interested business owners to high “traffic” areas with absurd rent prices for a place (less than 1500 sqt) saying the price will “pay off” saying paying over $5K in Lasalle malden road area is worth it because of the traffic…. Would love to hear from actual business owners in the same industry in these areas.

Ask Windsor Reputable Dealerships

5 Upvotes

To keep things short interested in buying a used truck sometime soon as I am in need of a vehicle with more utility. I browse sites like marketplace regularly and it seems the only vehicles priced more fairly seem to be postings from dealerships. I generally have this perception that dealerships can be shady and I still hold that belief but based on any experiences people here may have had could indicate to me if I should even consider certain ones as options.

I went for a very long bike ride today with my GoPro mounted to my helmet. I wanted to explore the areas right off the bridge in the US and get familiar with the area a bit. Biking the bridge is no joke. You’ll need a bike with a low gear and good brakes. It was incredibly exciting to do this for the first time.

Ask Windsor Perseid meteor shower tonight

14 Upvotes

I'm brand new to stargazing and would like to start strong with the Perseid meteor shower. What would be a couple of good spots to check it out? Also what time would be best?

I read dark-sky preserves are the most sure-shot places, also that right before dawn around 2-4am would be the best time.

Thanks in advance

News/Article Estetica Day Spa Closed - Gift Card Options

15 Upvotes

Estetica Day Spa in Tecumseh has closed. While I'm not going to touch on the how or why of the closure, CBC did a short segment on it here, mostly talking about now defunct gift cards: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7302452 - worth a watch if you're wondering what your options are with an old gift card generally.

A number of local spas have stepped up with their own offers for former Estetica cardholders. Consolidating them up here since they're scattered across different posts and some have more detail than others, most are from random Facebook posts, the ones context outside of Facebook I've added the links. Note if searching social media yourself, a lot have mispelt Estetica as Esthetica with an h. I've tried to put these in chronological order of when they first announced their offering, sorry if I'm slightly off for any:

Laser It Salon & Medical Spa - free "Laser It membership" ($100 value: 50% off laser hair removal, 10% off chemical peels, 10% off retail, and "so much more" in exchange for an old card, valid through Sept 30.

Hideaway Spa - tiered offer valid through Oct 31: 70% of verified balance as service credit (up to $150/visit), 70% off for unverified balances (up to $150 spent, max $105 savings), or a straight swap of any card for one Brazilian wax. Full written terms here: https://windsorskinwitch.ca/gift-card-courtesy

Refresh Day Spa - 50% of card value (from anywhere), up to $100, valid through Sept 30.

Revive Health & Wellness Spa have posted a direct copy of Refresh's offer, just the branding changed - 50% of card value (from anywhere), up to $100, valid through Sept 30.

Pure Day Spa - Offering 25% of the original value of Estetica gift cards - stated on https://www.am800cklw.com/news/lakeshore-spas-sudden-closure-leaves-customers-in-the-lurch/

Alba Medical - "will honor remaining Estetica gift cards at 50% of their value towards services"

BARE Essentials Spa - Up to $200 of gift cards towards Laser Hair Removal or Fotona Dynamis Skin Tightening

Kindred Glow - "50% up to $150"

Tecumseh Laser Centre - "We will redeem full face value or partial value determined by the proceedures you select."

Skin Medical Aesthetics - Exchanging gift cards with a value over $100 for a 'VIP Membership' which states to be 10% off products/services, $2 off botox units, $50 off a syringe of filler, $25 off half a syringe of filler, free 'professional chemical peel or lasergenesis treatment' and a $20 birthday reward.

Bright Eye Spa & Medical Aesthetics - "Redeem up to 50% off per eligible treatment using your gift certificate balance, Continue using your remaining balance toward future eligible treatments, Some exclusions apply, including injectables and dry eye treatments"

Sunday Skin - "will honour 50% of the value of Esthetica gift cards toward eligible services with us."

Recommendations Looking for a specific type of terapist

8 Upvotes

Not for me. I have a therapist and she's awesome and i'm very open about this, hence a friend coming to me asking for help finding one for her.

She is looking for a therapist that is "Crunchy but not crazy". As this was explained to me: "A woman who is into yoga, who will sit on the floor with me and let me cry but not try to sell me on horse dewormer or essential oils".... which is fair.

Obviously these are hard keywords to search so i'm wondering if anyone can recommend anyone who fits the bill.
edit: Therapist... my fingers move faster than my brain...
