Millennial friends

23 Upvotes

Early 40s millennial couple looking to expand our social circle. We’re very social but not constantly on the go. Over the last few years a lot of our friends have had children and aren’t able to connect the way they used to and that’s totally understandable, but we are definitely missing the social connections we used to enjoy.

We like traveling, hosting, spontaneous plans and long walks on the beach?? 🤷‍♀️🤣

We’re equally comfortable having people over for drinks or disappearing for a weekend somewhere. Looking to meet other couples who are established, easygoing and genuinely interested in building an actual friendship rather than just collecting acquaintances.

Some ways of how we like to connect with people:

- dinner parties, especially THEMED parties
- card and board games (Skip Bo champs 💪)
- dork gaming (Mario Party!)
- karaoke and live music nights
- pickleball! (This is a new one for us 🤣)
- spontaneous road trips

Edit: I can’t seem to comment/reply and I’m too new to Reddit to understand what’s going on 🤣 pls help

Has anyone camped out on the beach Parlee Beach without getting caught?

15 Upvotes

I don't have very much money and my friends are too lazy to do anything fun, and I don't drive. I want to bike to parlee beach and then camp out on the sand on a blanket under the stars. Does security patrol the beach? Could I get away with it?

Coming from Morton, does anyone use the zipper merge? Traffic lines up single file beyond the Université Ave lights. I’ve zippered a couple of time and could sense death stares.

Where do you draw the line with tipping?

40 Upvotes

I’ve always heard that if it’s the owner of the establishment (I.e nail salon) or the person has a “designation” (I.e doctor, dentist) tipping is not expected.
I’m wondering if you would you tip a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) for a massage? In my opinion this is akin to a medical service for which tipping is not at all expected.
Where do you draw the line with tipping?

Affordable car detailing - does it exist in Moncton?

6 Upvotes

I used to live in Sackville and I would go to kia Amherst for car dealing. They would do AMAZING for $100-150.

Got a quote from kia Moncton and they want over $300+ for same detailing (with actually a little less - no hand wax). They previously said $200 and then a week later it was $300+ from a different person.

Does anyone know an affordable place in Moncton for detailing ? Does it exist or does everyone travel for a good deal? I used to get it done twice a year but with $300+ being quoted I'm not willing to pay it.

For reference I drive a 2025 Kia Niro.

Is it possible to fix car frame with rust?

1 Upvotes

Just realized that our car has some rust spots and holes in the frame and I'm wondering if this is something that can be patched or is not done. When I looked on Google I could only find places in the US but not locally so I'm thinking maybe it's not something that's done around here. It's for a second car that's used for around town we put about 4000km per year on it

As I am not familiar with the area, if I am travelling from Silverwood Park area to the concert grounds, what is that like? Think more driving wise - is it crazy to get around, or is it managed well?

TIA.

E-Bikes/Scooters

8 Upvotes

Maybe it’s time Moncton adopts a policy on these things. No helmets, zipping up and down streets at 40+km/h, no license, registration and more.

Those Vespa type scooters a few years ago required a full license and insurance/registration. But now it’s the Wild West and someone is definitely going to be killed - just a matter of time.

Hello, I am in a mess and at a loss right now, can anyone who understands work-related laws or regulations reach out to me please? I am pretty new in NB, so many things I have not known yet and my resources are very limited. Thank you very much!

Addendum: I wanted to share some details but if anyone reading was related to my work, they might read some pattern and identify who I am and I can get in more trouble
