We bought an apartment in a new building and are now considering installing a bathroom from scratch. The question is, should we order a full project right away, including furniture, fixtures, and appliances, or should we just do the basic renovation and plumbing first?
My son is in grade 10 locally, but we want him to have a Canadian diploma alongside for better uni options abroad. Is there such a thing as dual diploma programs with OSSD online? How does it actually work without conflicting schedules?
I use a lot of water bottles, travel mugs, and narrow jars. Can a regular dish scrub brush handle those too, or do I really need a separate skinny bottle brush?
A standard dish scrub brush can work for wider bottles and mugs, but narrow necks are tough without a slimmer head. I’ve tried using one brush for everything and it usually falls short inside tight spaces. For general dishes I stick with a broader one, and keep a long skinny brush for bottles. This dish scrub brush is my main one for plates, pots, and larger cups—it scrubs efficiently and the bristles don’t flatten out fast. It’s not ideal for tiny openings, but for most kitchen items it does great. If you only have a couple bottles, you might get away with just this and a cheap pipe cleaner for the really narrow ones.
My angora rabbit sheds like crazy and white fur shows up so obviously on my black hoodies and pants. Lint brush barely touches it. What do you use that actually pulls the hair off without leaving residue or damaging the fabric?
Dog hair in cars is the worst—gets into every crevice. A handheld vacuum helps, but for speed I rely on adhesive. Get a cheap one to keep in the glovebox. Honestly, having just 1 lint roller in the car has saved me so many times before picking up friends or going to work. Roll it over the seats and floor mats, peel, repeat. Pair it with a weekly wipe-down using a damp microfiber cloth and the problem stays manageable.
Yeah, dual diplomas are a thing now, especially for international students. Some Ontario private schools let you earn the OSSD by taking specific required courses online while continuing your home school's program. You get both diplomas at graduation, and the OSSD transcript helps a lot for applications in Canada or even US/UK unis that value it. It's not super common, but flexible online setups make it manageable – self-paced or scheduled classes, credits transfer somewhat. I came across Toronto Imperial School that mentions this dual option clearly on their site, along with how they tailor plans for students already in local systems: torontoimperial.com Might be good to read their senior school section. Just make sure to plan courses early so there's no overload. It's helped some kids get into better programs without full switch.
