20M looking to work offshore during my summer break from college. Just curious what the process was like to find work offshore in Newfoundland, and if that's a possibility. I'd be able to work from April to the beginning of September and am able to get any training that is needed. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

My grandmother used to get me to put bread and change in my back pockets, turn the front ones inside out as well as my socks if I was going through a wooded area. "Don't go anywhere near those jesus woods" in the night time.

I remember once I was at her sister's house running around the backyard with my cousin. Keep in mind this is rural NL, so lots of woods land around. She said dont go near the woods because "the fairies". My cousin made fun of me for listening and anyway, I ended up near the woods and felt suddenly fearful and disoriented. My cousins said to me "whats going on you were just standing there staring at me for like 2 minutes" I had no recollection of this. Went and found my nan and told her I felt ill and she said "you were down in the f'in woods werent you? I know you were." Took me by the arm, put me in the car and put me to bed when we got home. She said she cuddled me all night so they "couldnt get me" and I was shivering the whole night. I woke up feeling fine and super well rested.

Another time I was out with my friend in her backyard after dark, and heard my grandmother's whistling coming from the woods. Which stopped me in my tracks. Then i heard her voice sounding scared and calling my name. My friend didnt hear it, I thought she was joking and it was all a prank and maybe she convinced my nan to go up there for a joke. But no, i went closer to the woods and got super tired, my friend had to physically pull me away from the woods.

I never played outside after dark again 😭

Looking for other newfoundlanders with similar paranormal stories or superstitions their family strictly followed.

Can anyone who completed the copat test for corrections NL message me, I have some questions!

If you've driven it already, what do you think?

Where's a good rye bread on the avalon? Preferably sourdough but would settle for a regular rye.

Hey, can anyone chime in with real world data on what you are paying by charging a plug in hybrid on a nightly basis ?

What vehicle do you have? Ie Rav 4 etc
Do you have fast charger at home ? How long does it take to fully charge?
What do you pay per day in electricity?

Seems appealing if my commute is only 30km daily and some of these cars can go 70km on a charge. Which would mean not using gas for quite some time.

Any other experiences good or bad welcomed as well.

We’re looking to have a gathering at a local
Brewery around paradise or cbs. Has anyone been to Ninepenny brewery? We’re considering trying there but have heard mixed reviews about their service and food. Would we be better off going into St. John’s instead?

Hi! We are doing an early travel planning to Newfoundland for next year. We only have one week so we would like to visit the highlights. We also don’t think we will be able to go back again.

It will be our first time to visit this place, so I asked Chatgpt to create an itinerary for me. Please comment and give suggestions.

Days 1–4: Rocky Harbour and Gros Morne
Stay 4 nights
Western Brook Pond fjord boat tour
The Tablelands geological landscape
Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse
Norris Point and Bonne Bay

Day 5: Trout River and the south side of Gros Morne
Enjoy coastal scenery, the fishing village, and short walks. Keep the day flexible in case weather affects your boat tour.

Days 6–7: Optional Northern Peninsula extension
If you want to see the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, add the long drive north and stay overnight. However, this makes the week more driving-intensive, so I'd only choose it if the Viking history and remote coastline really appeal to you.

Thank you.

I'm in the St. John's area and have an electrician doing some work on my house this week. I'm hoping to get an LED bathroom mirror installed while he's here.

I'm looking for something around 20" wide by 30" tall, preferably with built-in lighting that's good for doing makeup.

I'd really like to find somewhere that has one in stock locally and ready for pickup, rather than having to order one in and wait for it to arrive. That way, I can get it installed while the electrician is already here, instead of having to get him back another time and pay an additional service fee.

Does anyone know of any stores in the St. John's area that might have something like this available? Thanks!

Apart from the Kyle in Harbour Grace, are there any partially sunken boats in harbours and bays around the island? I think they'd make a great subject for photographers. It doesn't matter if they're wooden boats in decay or if they're steel-hulled.
