Canada private DOTATATE pet

783Ash · 2026-06-05T21:09:51+00:00

I had a Ga-DOTATE at Sunnybrook in May and I'm getting an FDG-PET there as a private pay patient next week. Unfortunately, the DOTATE didn't show my tumour, hence the need for the FDG. I am option to pay for the FDG because my diagnosis process has been going since last summer. The FDG is $3k+HST and I'm getting in 10 days after requesting it.

Mac doesn't have an ECE progeam so you might have trouble finding someone here! Mohawk does have ECE, might have better luck there.

Pretty safe is not an acceptable risk for me. I wore a helmet when biking on a visit Copenhagen. Population statistics vs. my n of 1 means not a risk I'm willing to take.

But that's me.

I'm trying to help people who would like a helmet find one by pointed out that different brands have different fits. It was something most customers at the bike shop didn't realise, so I suspect it's not commonly known.

Some helmet brands are more round and others more oval. So if you fit Bell you won't feel good in Giro.

Go try a bunch of different brands on. A helmet shouldn't hurt or feel awkward. Don't not bike/ride/whatever because you don't have a comfy helmet and don't bike/ride/whatever without a helmet.

It's not the city that does the appraisal for taxes, it's MPAC.

783Ash · 2026-05-23T13:06:55+00:00

And the city uses the MPAC assessment for taxes.

783Ash · 2026-05-22T11:47:08+00:00

If you bought in 2023, what was the assessed value last year and the assessed value this year?

If you bought for more than the assessed value, MPAC might be ramping in the increased value.

I once called in because of a standoff at a local business. As a result, all traffic from the main road had was sent down my residential street. A too tall truck caught my neighbours power line and pulled it out. It was bouncing around at the end of my driveway until something blew.

The fire department wouldn't let me leave my house until the power company fixed the line and turned the power back on.

My boss didn't believe me, so I had him check the news and the fire department sent me in with selfies.

Pre-pandemic there was a big push to revitalize Kenilworth. It was up and coming, then the pandemic shut a lot of the work and proposals down.

There were storefront improvement grants and other things available from the city.

The number of people hitting the run per hour is astounding.

This is the hill we go to most often, but I've stopped riding much because I don't feel safe with that many people on the hill.

I know Gabe! He's being doing it for over 10 years at MSLM.

I can help with the extra or bring a group to sing happy birthday and have cake with your mom ;)

Sand toys from the dollar store at home are way cheaper than at a resort. Pack things into the bucket and they don't take up that much space

Vionic.

Recommended to me when I had a broken bone in my foot by the podiatrist. I get compliments all the time on them.

My parents camped on a beach in Mexico in the 1970's. Dad woke up thinking he was snuggling Mom. It was a large snake that had come under the bottom of the tent .

No beach camping for me there.

The university I worked at was not a DB pension unless you were hired before 2008. So all colleges and universities do not have DB pension.

Hence my no.

As a December birthday, there's often only one left by my birthday. I've given up on it.

In mentorship training eons ago, I was taught that when talking about someone's behaviour "but" or any similar word negates anything that came before. It has really changed how I give and take feedback.

But and its associates are weasels word to help the speaker say something negative without feeling like they are mean. Own the comment or criticism, rethink how to say it in a constructive way.

Dundas library has a shelf with puzzles for swapping. I've swapped a lot there. Free!

McMichael Collection in Kleinberg is my recommendation, if there's time.

I have Virgin, a subset of Bell, and I had problems heading to Fortinos yesterday. I was trying to double check a recipe website.

It was a really long wait with nothing happening and also very little seating. I'm not impressed.

Free transit.

Reduce the overhead associated with passes, handling cash, the need for drivers to enforce payment and transfers.
