I've done some searching and reading of past discussions about fences issues with neighbours and I'm wondering if somebody who had been through this can provide some advice.

Here's the situation: One of my neighbours and I share a driveway. My old neighbour aged out of being at home and one of her older son and his wife have taken over the house. In the backyard, there is a chain link fence that appears to be on the property line. It was probably done a previous home owner and probably on agreement with this guy's mom. That fence basically stops at the back of both of our houses, where the shared laneway starts. There is no issues with that existing fence or it's placement.

The son

As the parent of two kids, we've done lots of different birthdays over the years and spent different amounts on them. Last night, we took 11 9yo boys to the Titans game for my son's birthday. Everyone had an amazing time and my wife and I actually got to enjoy the game.

It was basically $30 a kid and that included the ticket, food, private room, cupcake for birthday boy and visit from Cappy. I selected seats right on the Titans dugout and bullpen so the kids lost their minds getting autographs before the game and then had enough room to run around, play catch and hang out. Some kids focused on getting balls and others went to the hopyard to play catch.

Instead of doing loot bags, I

Headed to the bytown tonight to see the warren miller ski movie... what's a good place to get something to eat before the movie? Starts at like 6:45 so ideally a place that's relatively fast.

Congrats to the Titans on winning the first game of the best-of-three series vs Quebec Capitales last night. Trailed 0-1 until the bottom of the ninth, then tied it up and won in the bottom of the 10th.

Offence was slow to get going but I really admired how they stuck in there and kept pushing until things started to open up at the end. Was a beautiful night at the park, crowd was into it.

If this series goes to a third game, I hear that will be on Sunday and I would recommend you consider going if you've never been to a game before. Awesome time for the kids who can run around, chasing balls etc. Tickets are affordable and basically every seat is good.

I have a 2008 civic with no power and I'm at the point where I need a mechanic to come look at it.

Replaced the battery, checked fuses, voltages and still no luck.

My neighbor who had similar car for years and knows his stuff even used a voltage meter. We followed power all the way to fuse box and through it so it would seem like issue is after fuse box. I even tried to get fuse box off so I could see if there was something loose under it but I was unable to get it off so I'm at my limits.

Worse comes to worse, I could probably push it over to a garage near me but figured I would see if there was a mobile mechanic who would take a look at it for me in case it's an easy fix.

So my 7yo has basically not had a decent birthday party in two years and we'd like to plan something fun for him and his friends.

The problem is that many options are still unavailable - for example, can do a birthday at Museum of Nature.

Any suggestions for alternative options for a bunch of active kids in that age range?

Bonus if they are outdoors as we're less likely to have to deal with mask issues as I'm sure any parent understands that some parents will want to keep their kids masked and other parents won't... so if it's outdoors, we won't have to navigate that conversation in the same was as if it's indoors as party will likely be after mask mandate is lifted.

I'm not sure what other people have noticed but we've been pulling an average of a tick a day on our dog in the last few weeks, both in the city and about an hour outside of it.

About 75% of the time, they aren't latched on because I think we're more vigilant and our dog is white so it's easier to spot them. And these ticks are in the backyard etc, not just walking trails and parks etc.

Before about a month ago, it was maybe a tick or two a year and then all of a sudden, in September we started noticing more once we found a huge fat one on him. Last week, I was at the cottage with the dog and he'd come inside with a tick or two on him daily... and then it seemed to continue this week
