I love the land and there are so many different landscapes to love. This photo of my great Uncle's shed and old boat is what I think of as home. The fog that day was as magical as ever making islands appear and disappear within minutes.

Show me your quintessential Newfoundland photo.

Moose hunting this morning and I called this guy in to about 60m after I had initially startled him. Of course he stayed just hidden enough to make taking a shot more difficult than I would have liked, plus time and temperature weren’t on my side today. There was a cow with him too who seemed extra curious. Hopefully they’re still around next week!

Do some self reflection and think about why you’re a POS! Or someone might post your bs online 👀 Peter, councillor of harbour grace

Edit for you friggin woobs. I am far more for animal welfare than human wants and any religion. However, people that are being ignorant about halal are doing it because it is a Muslim practice. Not because they care about the animals. Chill!

I don’t have Facebook and wondering how to get in contact with any running groups. I’m in central but don’t mind travelling for events. I have instagram so not sure if there’s any there I can follow. Thanks

I’ve been seeing this uk company here giving away trucks and cars etc but something feels really off about it.. just paranoid?

Haven't been to a Cineplex movie in years, I think the last time was Deadpool and Wolverine where we paid extra for D-Box seats that were these old red faded seats that were uncomfortable and felt old. Not like what is advertised on the Cineplex website with these thick, comfortable big D-Box chairs.

Also, how about VIP adults only theatre where they serve food and drinks while you watch the movie?

These next two I really doubt will be here anytime soon, but hopeful. ScreenX and 4DX?

I bought a cheap used one last year that couldnt keep up. Now Im shopping around for the best all round in terms of price/performance. I know Honda and Yamaha are top tier performance but that also means $5000+
Has anyone had any luck with other brands keeping up with our wet, slushy slop snow ?!

Looking for some recommendations for places to wander/hike around St. John’s, Paradise, CBS or within maybe 30–60 mins of town.

I’m usually going solo with my dog and I’m less interested in busy walking paths and more looking for places where I can actually get some solitude woods, coastline, ponds, old trails, interesting stuff to explore, etc.

Basically somewhere I can throw a camera in my bag, wander around for a couple hours with my dog, take some photos and feel like I’ve gone on a little adventure without having people passing us every five minutes lol.

Doesn’t need to be a huge or difficult hike either. I’m very happy with something where I can walk for an hour or two, explore a bit and turn around whenever I feel like it.

I’m interested in the East Coast Trail too, although since I’ll often be alone with my dog I’d rather avoid sections that are unnecessarily sketchy/cliffy or difficult to navigate.
I know the usual Quidi Vidi / Signal Hill / Bowring / Octagon Pond type places , I’m especially interested in quieter trails, lesser-known access points, wooded areas, coastal walks, old roads/trails, etc.

Hey people, I’m Portuguese, living in Portugal and I’m thinking about to move to NL, more exactly South Brook and Springdale area (I have a friend there). What’s your advice to me? Thanks for your time.

Hey! So I moved from Quebec to St.John's for uni recently. Since I moved, I had to leave the campaigns I was part of back in QC and really miss playing D&D. Since I know no one here, I thought I would put myself out there in hopes of meeting people so here we are!

I have been play for about 5 years mostly as a player but have dabbled in DMing. I have played some homebrew and some standard campaigns so I'd say Im a pretty experienced player. Also I really character creation and making characters with rich back stories and vibrant personalities! And I am planing to stay in NL for at least the next 5 years so we'd have plenty of time to play!

I might be shooting far here idk if this will get me anywhere honestly but I'm hoping to meet some people who are looking for somone to join their party! And if you're like uncomfortable with like not knowing me prior I'd be glad to hang out with the party beforehand to get to know each other. Or you can ask me all the questions you have about me in DMs!

If your party is full or dont play the game, then at least shoot me an upvote pls to help me find the people im looking for I'm really trying to get to know people in this city I'd really appreciate.

(Ps: some people cant dm me for some reason. If that's you, drop a comment and I'll send you a message. As long as this post is up I'm still looking for somone so dont be shy!)

Thanks you for your time!!

We’re looking for an in home pet sitter for early ish November. Has anyone used Rover and could offer some real world experiences?

Josh Hartnett tells Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson about screeching people in Newfoundland and he actually says Newfoundland the right way.

I'm making a birthday gift for my boyfriend and trying to collect photos from different places around the world.

Would anyone be willing to take a photo holding a short handwritten birthday message somewhere cool in the city?

I'll provide the exact wording. It would take literally a minute or two. ❤️

I'd be incredibly grateful!

Here’s what looking for mental health support and alcohol abuse issues in Newfoundland looks like if you’re struggling with issues of self worth, grief and loss and are plagued with thoughts about giving up. (SI)

Call 988

Get disconnected

Call again

Get auto directed to 811

Share your private and personal trauma with an 811 intake person

Wait for a registered nurse to call you back.

Repeat personal situation and trauma experience again.

Get instructions to contact mental health crisis team, or go to Emergency at the Mental Health and Addictions hospital

Present at Mental Health and addictions hospital, and report the distress, and trauma to an intake person.

Wait.

Get escorted to the Psychiatric Assessment Unit which is in the Old Hospital, because there is no room for the psychiatric unit in the new mental health building. Security takes all belongings except phone.

Wait in an empty waiting room. Yes, completely empty.

Be seen by another intake person who asks the same questions asked by 811 intake, the 811 nurse, and the hospital ER intake.

Answer and wait.

Be seen by a triage nurse who asks the same questions, plus a few more.

Wait.

Eventually be placed in an interview room, where a student Doctor comes in and wants to ask all the questions again because that’s the process, and they need to ‘hear it from you’. I declined because each retelling to a new individual who passes me on to another, is a reinjury, and the student is there solely for themselves and their own experience, and not adding to not my care.

I explain this gently, and they are understanding about it and leaves.

Wait.

A general practice Family Doctor comes in, with the same student Doctor intern in tow, and wants to ask all the questions again with the student present so they can observe ‘how he works’.

Decline the student observation part, but answer the Doctors questions. He assures me they’ve all discussed my situation, and they are very sorry for what I am experiencing and they care very much about getting me to the supports I need.

Wait for him to go discuss it all again, with the people I’ve already talked to, and the psychiatrist.

Wait for psychiatrist. Now I’m crying with exhaustion from repeating my situation and trauma so many times. I’m also hungry because I’ve been there for hours with no food, although they said they could bring some crackers. There’s an orange in my bag but I can’t have it.

Psychiatrist comes in, but not the psychiatrist, he’s a student psychiatrist and he now asks the same questions again, explains brain functioning to me, and alcohol effects, and he also explains that the Mental Health and Addictions hospital is not for addictions, and he thinks ‘Addictions’ should be removed from the name and leaves to go discuss it with the psychiatrist.

He thinks it’s the government’s fault for misleading people to think they help with addictions there.

I wait, while also pondering this new information, that somehow mental health, and addictions are somehow separate in his mind, and that they have arbitrarily removed treatment for substance use from the equation, and appear to be using it as a means to justify refusing care and treatment.

Student psychiatrist comes back in, says he’s discussed it all with the psychiatrist. Reiterated that they don’t deal with addictions there. Offers admission to psychiatric unit, to wait for a stay in a short term bed. Claims new hospital is full, reiterates they don’t deal with addictions, and convinces me to leave the hospital to get better care elsewhere.

He gives me 3 pieces of paper with different phone numbers for other services, one of which he assures me has beds, and will see me immediately.

Start calling the number on one of the pieces of paper to get help. Get someone who asks the same questions that you’ve been asked by everyone else and tells you to call again on Monday to do an assessment with an intake person.

Security arrives to escort me out and is irritated I am on the phone but let’s me finish my call.

Security returns my belongings and Escorts me out through the old, dark dingy building, through to the new hospital, which is beautiful, but also very empty looking.

Go home alone. No follow up, no genuine care.

Continue to call the numbers given for help.

Do another assessment and get put on a wait list. Told to call back and check again.

Contact adult central intake who claims they have your file from the weekend admission and proceeds to ask you all the same questions again.

Disconnect from the call out of pure frustration after the nurse escalates you when you express frustration over how many times you’ve been asked the same questions and they already have the file.

Ask to be referred to grief and loss counselling and alcohol dependency because you’re exhausted answering the same questions over and over.

Nurse claims she has to keep asking questions to make sure you get directed to the right person, which I’ve been telling everyone I’ve talked too since the beginning. Grief and loss, complex trauma, and self medicating with alcohol because of feeling trapped in a loop.

Nurse continues to ask same questions.

The call ended because nurse keeps reading and asking the same questions, which got me so upset and escalating me at this point I feel I’m going to completely emotionally disregulate and say something crappy.

Maybe the problem isn’t that Newfoundland doesn’t have enough healthcare professionals, it’s that we’ve hired so many, that they’ve structured their jobs so they don’t have to care. When there is always another person or process to push you through, it’s dehumanizing, nobody is responsible, and it becomes simply too easy to not care.

Anyone have any similar experiences or have thoughts on the new mental health and addictions hospital not providing any help for someone who has experienced major trauma, grief and loss, and is managing an alcohol dependency that stemmed from self medicating due to lack of supports?

Feels very dishonest to me.

Is this just something they do so you can’t refund packages when they’re days overdue? I always get these notifications when ordering stuff off Amazon. This one came up less than 2 hours after ordering and from the look of it, still not even in dragonfly’s hands.

I’m a 36-year-old Newfoundlander who, on mostly a whim, just tried Crush birch beer for the first time ever today. Not sure how I feel about it. Kinda tastes like cream soda mixed with mouthwash. 😆

My motto is “try anything once”, but I think I’ll stick to my beloved pineapple Crush going forward. 🍍
