Could someone educate me in a new kind of spam? Someone text or left a message with just my name. Legitimate callers would say who they were and some context. These folks never say why they called or texted.
I know there could very well be hacks sold on the dark web on people's info. I'm just wondering if they're fake Rogers, crypto or other kinds of scams.

Many years ago, I was upset how something happened on campus, so I went to the campus chaplaincy to pray. The chaplain was an outgoing person. He was pleased to see me and asked if I was ok.
Just over a year ago, I learned from "The Pillar" that he was sexually harassed as a young priest before serving at the campus chaplaincy. I definitely remember that name and felt horrible. It has been mindblowing for me that he continued to serve others despite his own suffering.
(I'm not asking for comments from this particular case. Instead, I'm asking how the priests continue to serve others *in general* in the midst of their sadness and difficulties.)
We have fancy food up here in Canada!
How much time do you need to get ready for mass? I imagine you need to get the linen, candles, wine, water, communion wafer, chalice etc ready. In addition, you may need to get dressed.
London Public Library is looking for London high school yearbooks. They didn't say if they're looking for particular years or particular high school though.
My roomba has not been able to make it back to the dock before the battery drains completely. I have cleaned the brush and interior to ensure nothing has been blocking. It may be time for a new battery.
I live in Canada. The Canadian Roomba shop does not have the one for my model (Combo 2 essential robot). Of course Amazon usually has something that seemingly fit the bill, but I'm hesitant to order a non genuine battery from a random place.
I'd like to get a fitted bracelet. What are the places in town? If you have experience with them (good and bad), please feel free to share.
What are some notable hotdog stands nowadays? (Not Costco please)
The location of the hotdog stands seems to be known largely by word-of-mouth. Some hotdog stands rotate between a few locations. Some stay in the same location. Some have specific kinds of sausages. Some operate year-round.
Any prospective, past and present members of University Choir here? I would like to hear what do you think about the ensemble.
Has anyone tried to borrow "cool things" (not books) from the libraries? The concept sounds wonderful, but I'm wondering how it works out in practice.

I've heard how the ice skates were always in high demand during the past winter.
Some notable entries in senior. The fans nearby should be very pleased.
When I got off the train at Kitchener GO one evening last week, I saw a women with a walker asking people for money/food/help loudly. She walked with a noticeable hunch. Would this person be Tina?
I made a habit of saying hello to my parish priest after mass. He's quite busy person serving not only the parish but the schools in the area as well. He must be facing lots of people during the week in addition to the parishioners.
Could you all point to some programs' music and subject matter related to the skaters' nations? I can recall the following:
Trivia: Finland, Sweden and Canada have been dominating synchronized skating during the past decade.
Does anyone know any past Gazette staff who end up pursuing journalism or writing? I read Stuart Thompson over a decade ago and he now works for New York Times.
Did you lose *one* black earbud entering or exiting an LRT this morning? I found one on Allen station's platform (northbound side). I put it on the blue bench.
What are some paths to become proficient singers in reputable, auditioned ensembles (example: paid singers in English cathedrals)? Is an undergraduate degree mandatory?
Since I was a teen, I longed for pursuing my personal interests that may not pay bills. I weren't in a wealthy family. I envy people who do not have to choose their degree with a future career in mind. In my fantasy, I have my plans seemingly all set if I could FIRE.
What do people actually do or not do when they do not need that income from the day job? Do they hand in their notice right away? Do they become choosy on what they work on? Do they pursue personal interests? How do you set goals when you do not please your boss or shareholders anymore?
I'm asking because my parents took the traditional retirement at 65 and needed to find something do on purpose: part-time employment, crafts etc. They long to be connected with others on a regular basis while do not need a job, so they volunteer in the community. They're religious but not super religious, so church is only for 1 day a week.
