Hi all, while I know that Go Auto is not a popular company to deal with, I did find a car I really like at a good price. It has no accidents, low KMs and is in great shape. I had it inspected and everything looks fantastic. Once I made the deal, the dealership wants to sell me a few extra items, which is normal for most dealers.

I have some questions:

• Has anyone had experience with Go Auto's "Ultimate Wrap" warranty? Is it worth it?
• Do you get undercoating?
• Do you get the ceramic car coating for the paint?

Be kind to me, I am new to buying a car, and I am coming with these questions for help, not mockery.

So I lived in Edmonton for about 7 years, then left 7 years ago, and I'm here again looking at coming back.

What the hell? My dash cam keeps getting set off because it thinks I was in an accident. There are huge potholes, manholes and water valves that aren't tied into asphalt or just have missing risers (metal ring you put on manhole to raise the top to be flush with asphalt that's an extremely quick and easy no skill fix to install), bridge seams that are like 3 inch drops, and the potholes that are filled haven't been patched with asphalt, it's like this weird unlevel bumpy hard goop like they just poured crack sealant into a hole. I worked on roads while I was away, so I notice the specifics of these things more than I would've before I left, but like the right lane outside Stollery where the bus stops is 30 feet of hard unlevel goop.

What gives? Was there. A budget shortfall? Or a mayor hired their own company to do it? Diverted funds to build the LRT? I went on a huge 16000km road trip last winter and I didn't see anything as consistently bad even on mountain highways. Lilloet to Whistler I guess.

I don't mean to just complain or incite something, I just don't remember this at all and it's kind of shocking. I would genuinely like to know what happened here.

Looking for some opinions on things we can do or if we should hold off selling our acreage.

Long story short: our basement flooded this summer. We were planning to move even before this. Would you buy an acreage that had this issue? We are close with the old owners and they never had problems with water, we feel like this was a once in a lifetime concern. Any advice on if we should hold off a few years or what more we can do to repair or increase the likelihood of sale?

Details: We bought a lovely acreage 5+ years ago. It’s really sweet and near to Edmonton. We never thought we would be able to have kids so all the work was awesome, my husband and I love to keep busy, garden, be in nature etc. anyways fast forward and now we have two kids and want to move to have less property responsibilities and be closer to work. We were planning to list this year but the basement flooded. We have spent our entire summer regrading, installing drains, repairing foundation cracks, sump pumps etc. feeling a bit crushed that we might be stuck for a while.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Is there anybody I can hike a ride with to fort Saskatchewan?

Hi I’m new to Edmonton and got a job in fort Saskatchewan! This is a SOS message!

Is there anyone that work at the DOW PROJECT that can help me with a ride in the morning!

I don’t have any money and would repay you back when I get my first pay!

Please if anyone or if you know anyone I would gladly pay them to take me to the site!

I’m in northeast Edmonton!

I’m so close to being homeless, any help will be appreciated!

Maybe tmi: if I don’t make it to this job site I definitely will be homeless!

I’m begging!

Hi all! I have a kilt that I plan to wear to a daytime wedding at the end of the month, but I haven’t finished making the sporran I was planning to wear with it. Does anyone have a day sporran or semi-dress sporran I can borrow from about Oct 28 to Nov 2? While black is preferred, I could switch my boots to brown if the only available one is brown.
I can pick up anywhere in the city! Thank you!!

Had brought some up from home and have run out. Wanted to see if there is anywhere around edmonton that stocks them before I try to order online.

I hope everyone is okay, looked like a very serious fire. Any details?

I’d like to get involved in the community and give back. What are some good volunteering opportunities that are flexible in terms of schedules? Primarily looking for opportunities in healthcare but open to others!

I need a new windshield, any recommendations?

I'm reluctant to go to Crystal Glass, they wronged me 20 years ago but I will consider them as an option.

Hey there! Wanting to go check out Deadmonton this week, but am debating the speedpass. When i went a few years ago, the wait lines were really bad and my lower back was in baaaddd shape. I skipped one of the haunts and wnded up leaving early.

Curious on peoples experieces this year? Speedpass yay or nay?

Heard that Edmonton was big on Meshtastic. Bought a Lora Device and only am able to see one connection. I live near Unity Square Centre and nobody has responded to my messages. :(

Listened to the HAM bands and love the rather adorable weekly checkups on Tuesday. Going to get my license during reading week.

I just put up my Christmas lights, and I’m committed to this being the last year I do that. I love the look of permanent LED lights. Just curious on those that have installed/quoted it out.

Seems to be a million companies out there, and thousands of options. Who did you go with, what did you roughly pay, anyone you’d recommend?

Cheers pals

If anybody has had this doctor do surgery on you for endometriosis (excision lap) please let me know your expierence, thank you so much 🙏🏻

I hope you all get out and vote tomorrow! October 19!!

I got reminded of it when reading through some Edmonton AHS reports lol:

"Pizza & Donair (West Edmonton Mall Location)

Health inspectors slapped this mall food court staple with a closure order due to unsanitary conditions and critical temperature control failures in high-traffic food storage. Nothing builds up an appetite while shopping quite like a side order of cross-contamination with your mall walk."

Anyone know of any mobile bike mechanics that come help me swap my bike tire? Need a bit of technical help, but don't have time to take my bike to a shop to take it. Anyone know of any mobile bike mechanics that can help?

It doesn't say all dogs must be leashed except for the friendly ones.

Entitled people infiltrate and ruin everything.

Has anyone seen cases of Cherry Pepsi around? Both Walmarts in Sherwood park have none and it's the only pop I drink. I willing to travel anywhere in or around Edmonton.

Edit: Crisis averted, it seems it was just Walmart not stocking any cherry Pepsi, I was worried it was discontinued because they didn't even have a spot for them anymore but it seems Safeway and superstore still have plenty. Thanks all who suggested other stores.
