hey guys.
ive been living downtown for about 6 months now and CANT FIND A JOB.

ive applied everywhere at the mall,
and im on craigslist/kijji constantly.

ive worked at a coffee shop for a year so i DO have experience...

any tips?
any other websites i should visit?

im mostly open to anything other than like....club promotion.

Has anyone seen Power Squids in Toronto?

I don't mind paying a little more than the listed $20-25 CAD: by my arithmetic I'd be paying over $80 after factoring in shipping, customs duties, brokerage fees and so on if I order it online.

i'm gonna need a drink after today...

anyone know of bars that are going to be open in the downtown core-ish?? bonus if they are cheap. and grody. mmm.


thanks!

...who doesn't celebrate christmas.

This will be the first year in a LONG time that I haven't spent Christmas at work, and...I have no idea what to do with myself. I tried to go out this evening, but that was a miserable failure.

Will anything be open tomorrow? I know that movie theatres are, but that's not going to keep me entertained all day. I'd love to go do something silly, like get my nails done, but I'm guessing that's not going to happen.

So...what IS open tomorrow?

I bet Toronto Island is just as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer.
Does anybody know if there are any restaurants open over the winter?  Maybe the yacht club or something?

Where in Toronto can I get Treasure Crystal Cote?  It is a brush-on glossy finish/varnish thing for wood/paper crafts.  Specifically, we will use it for paper tole projects.  I don't know where we first bought it years ago, but I haven't seen it anywhere in recent years.  I tried Michael's, Curry's, Aboveground (in-store and on their websites) and didn't see it.

Has anyone actually seen this product in any craft stores or anything?

On that note, does anyone know of any craft stores in Toronto that carry prints and supplies for paper tole?  I only know of Laila's in Brampton.

Similar to these, w/shoulder strap:



If downtown, near or in Eaton Centre, will be mucho pleased.

TIA!

I have one

at Noah's health food store (yonge bloor wellesley) they have these neat salt stone candle holders that are $6.99 and no I don't work there lol I just think they are pretty
you can put either a real candle in or those battery tea lites
it is a bit heavy to carry tho

It's getting down to the wire kinda and I need this stellar community's help!

Info:
- We are 2 single girls (one VERY recently) in our late 20's-early 30's.
- We are on a budget and can't afford anything *too* expensive.
- Something along the TTC line is a plus.
- No outdoor activities/celebrations.
- We would like to get somewhat dressed up and dance and meet cute boys.
- Most important: must be fun!

I am at an utter loss because I have spent my last few new year's with a BF.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA peeps

(ps. Does no one have grown up house parties anymore?)

Hi guys! I'm clearing out my closet again since textbook-buying season is coming up soon, so check it out! Includes designer jeans (womens size 26-28), american apparel, dresses, shoes, bags, wallets and a whole shit-ton of other things I could do without.

A Toronto man was in hospital Wednesday night after he apparently jumped from a railing in Toronto's Eaton Centre mall.

Police and EMS officials were called to the busy mall around 5:15 p.m. after the man, whose identity hasn't been released, jumped from a railing on a sub-level floor near the entrance to the Dundas subway, Toronto police Detective Brad Brigham said.

The unidentified man landed one storey below, at the base of an escalator.

“I don't think it was accidental,” Det. Brigham said. “Apparently he was talking to a female. No one really heard any yelling,” and after the woman walked away the man jumped, the officer said.

The incident left part of the south portion of the mall, on a lower level near the subway, taped off briefly. The mall was packed with shoppers at the time of the incident.

He was taken to hospital in serious condition, but was alert when he left the mall, Det. Brigham said. The officer expects him to recover from his injuries.

Hi Toronto,

My mom is here from 9-11 am tomorrow and has the task of finding an anti bacterial water bottle for my sister.

Here is what google pulled up if you have never heard of them (like me):

http://www.google.com/products?client=safari&rls=en&q=antibacterial+water+bottle&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=_MQyS93lPJG0lAf84ZiYBw&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CBgQrQQwAg

Has anyone seen these around? It needs to be in the downtown core if possible.

Any guidance would be MUCH appreciated!

Thank you!!!

Cut Out and Keep is an awesome website and I want to do all sorts of crafting projects from it! But WHERE in Toronto can you find felt? Dollar stores and Crafting stores at the Mall don't have anything usable for these projects.

So where do we find good felt Toronto?

We're gonna try out this project:

So I was watching Dr. Phil (Xmas break boredom already!) and I saw this woman wearing the most delightfully tacky hoodie! It was white and looked like it was made of velour or something, with "Bride" written in bling on the back in swirly cursive.
Of course, I need it badly. I'm not getting married until 2011, but still.

It looked a lot like this one:




This one has little bows on the sleeve that I kind of hate (although I could probably cut them off), and I could do without the ring shaped zipperpull and the "Future Mrs." on the chest. It's also from Victoria's Secret, which apparently doesn't have a store downtown.

I would REALLY rather not have to travel all the way to Vaughan to buy a hoodie. Has anybody seen anything like this downtown? Any help is appreciated.

Looking for somewhere to volunteer short term for the holidays. It has to be short term b/c BF is in town for only a short amount of time, so he can't make a long term commitment.

We would prefer something indoors, and not the typical "put food in a box in a food bank." We know they need volunteers, but we're looking for something smaller that might need the most help and doesn't always get volunteers.

All suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks,

So last minute, my mother decided that she doesn't feel like doing the whole Christmas dinner thing this year. Are there places/restaurants/grocery stores in the city that offer pre-prepared turkey, stuffing, etc, for a reasonable price?

We'd prefer to bring it home or have it delivered, but eating out is fine too. Thanks in advance, guys! :)

I bought a Metropass from school and then shit changed so I don't need it next month. I paid $107 for it and would like to get that back - a deal if you're not a student! I'd prefer to meet up at St. Clair West station, but can go to another station in that general vicinity if you like.

I recently got an internship with the hours of 9-6. However, my job usually starts at 6, so now I'm only able to work on weekends.

Does anyone know of any part-time night jobs with the hours around 7-12? My internship is located downtown. I can only think of data entry, and grocery stores - if anyone could recommend some companies/locations for those.

Meetup at Yonge and College or Eatons Centre.
Prices are negotiable.
