Teeth Cleaning $190?

How much are people paying to get their teeth cleaned these days? I was just charged $190 for a basic clean in Oshawa which I think is outrageous…

For anyone needing a family doctor!

Not my personal doctor so I have no reference of whether they’re solid or not but from my understanding I believe they’re hard to come by these days. Hope everyone has a great week!

Grandparent present ideas

Hey all, not from the area anymore but my grandparents are and Christmas is coming quick, anything y'all can recommend that might make a good gift.

I think they'd prefer and experience, (preferably during the day as they aren't comfortable driving at night any more).

Was looking at the Whitby and Oshawa theatre, maybe Port Hope, but wasn't sure if there was anything I'm missing.

Please advise

Got charged 109$ for tires without rims and 69$ for an oil change. Is it too much for a Toyota Corolla?

Usually I go to discount tire and auto and they charge 80$ but this time it was a bit last minute. Any suggestions on how to get this cost lower with each season. I am tired of paying this premium each time for tire swap. I might sell my car in 2 years that’s why didn’t get the rims.

Netflix series The Madness

I discovered the series The Madness on Netflix this weekend. As I was watching, the style of homes reminded me of housing developments in Durham Region. After doing some digging, I saw that some scenes were filmed in Oshawa. Very cool.

If you are into thrillers/ suspense series, I 10/10 recommend to check it out.

Is this suspicious behavior or just harmless?

Last night, I noticed someone slowly driving by my house in the dark while recording a video of the front of my house. They didn’t stop but drove by slowly for about 10 seconds while filming and then drove off.

It struck me as odd since it was nighttime, and I can’t think of a clear reason why someone would record like that. Could this just be harmless or something I should be concerned about?

Has anyone experienced something similar? Should I take any precautions or report this? I’d appreciate your thoughts!
