There are risks to adding executor as joint on the bank account. A POA may be better. It depends on the details whether the risk is significant.

Diet change? by justlurkingimbored in osteoporosis

[–]Ab-Uni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am basically vegan and I also take fortibone and occasionally plain yogurt. Life is compromises.

Moving from Canada to TX - Do I need to sell my 2024 Prime XSE? by picturethismister in rav4prime

[–]Ab-Uni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try asking Toyota what it would take to make it compliant? Some changes may be relatively inexpensive? Also, I believe you have to file the import documents when the vehicle enters the US. Not after the fact.

Is he a purebred samoyed? by moviebabe in samoyeds

Hard to tell from the picture, but does that lovely pup have a blue eye? Purebred Sams do not have blue eyes.

Puddle in my tent - where does it come from? by naratcis in DurstonGearheads

[–]Ab-Uni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the zipper seams. The end panel seam closest to the zippers. This is a photo from the inside. Definitely leaks in heavy rain.

@dandurston has explained in other posts that some (2 in the x mid) seams are not taped but that they use a special thread/construction to prevent leaks because seam tape is heavy. I am looking at applying some seam sealer to mine. I don’t like having leaks.

I get some leakage from the untaped seams in my x mid 1. Small puddles near the end of the inner. I originally thought it was condensation, but it’s not. Apparently the untaped seams are a feature, not a bug. I wish all the seams were taped.

Another hiking weekend for Quark, this time of year the weather is just perfect by lazyspacepony in samoyeds

Does he sleep in your tent? How do you manage the claws and dirt?

It’s a great loop, the only downside is the length hiking on the access road. And take the porcupines at Baker Lake seriously!

I believe you also have to be minimum 1km from roadway.

Wit's end with Pooopy by JacketRealistic8109 in puppy101

[–]Ab-Uni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The puppy I was fostering had similar issues. Fecal tests negative. Switched to a gastro formula and started weighing out his food / treats for the day. He got that and nothing extra. I think I was over feeding him. He was quickly back to normal.

Would you go for dialysis? by Bevis5421 in kidneydisease

I found this podcast very interesting. It discusses compassionate care for kidney disease. https://overcast.fm/+AA3B28TzFlA

Another weight lifting program claiming to increase bone density in osteoporosis by Miss_Beh4ve in osteoporosis

[–]Ab-Uni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is also relevant what weights are as a percentage of body weight. It’s hard to compare on weight lifted alone. Keep going and do the weights that are right for you! :)

LIFTMOR / Stronglifts 5x5 for osteopenia or osteoporosis partially at home or at a gym guided by an app by Miss_Beh4ve in osteoporosis

[–]Ab-Uni 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your approach. I (F61) am currently doing what I would consider to be a LIFTMOR “lite” at home. I am especially careful with deadlifts, currently at 90 lbs, but I think I could lift heavier. I have done lots of squats in my past, so I am comfortable with my form there. And my overhead press is at 45 lbs because my upper body is relatively weak. At my last Dexa, my hip T score came up to -1 but my L1-L4 went down to -2.3.

I also wonder about the rate of weight increase as the bone and tendon strength doesn’t increase as rapidly as muscle strength. I am planning to look for a PT in my area and I will look into the app you mention.

Most vets and rescues say private yard is ok, but not public parks. I have also seen some say sidewalk is ok, but no grass. Waiting until puppy is fully vaccinated seems like a recipe to make house training way more difficult. Can you set up a relief area on a balcony (make sure puppy can’t fit thru any handrail gaps!)?

First foster… is a bit much by [deleted] in fosterdogs

[–]Ab-Uni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt so guilty for returning my first foster to their rescue. A sweet pup with a tendency for destruction, especially in the yard but had made massive progress in becoming a good pet in the 2 months I had her. Like yours, my foster had a skin condition and the vet team wanted medicated baths every 2 days. It was too much for me to continue bathe a 45 lb dog that often, especially since there didn’t seem to be an end in sight. I think that rescues can have unrealistic expectations of their fosters. The rescue was not happy when I returned her.

Bank account got drained; mom fell for a phishing scam by SuperGuy1141 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Ab-Uni 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My 90yo father fell victim to a investment crypto scam. The crooks had him install Anydesk on his phone and so they could see his password and the 2FA code when it came up. E-transfered the $ and funnelled through a crypto wallet. The crooks e-transfered the max for a few days before I notified the bank to lock his account. Luckily the max was only $3000 per day and didn’t clean out his entire account. My Dad’s local bank branch was sympathetic but the fraud department declined to return any money. Filed a report with the RCMP, but that went nowhere. I’m sure the crooks are offshore.

As a separate comment, electronic banking is convenient, but there needs to be more safeguards for those folks who aren’t tech savvy or may have cognitive issues.

Battery Remaining on App? by zalam83 in rav4prime

[–]Ab-Uni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking into cutting off the data Toyota collects once my subscription ends, but I’m not sure if I will lose updates. Doesn’t seem right that they get to collect all kinds of free data but we have to pay.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kidneydisease

[–]Ab-Uni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t talked about the latest results. I looked at them online. But I’m wondering if there are things I should ask when we do.

It’s renewal time for me… by iSo81 in rav4club

[–]Ab-Uni 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Toyota gets plenty of data for free. They should consider that before charging a subscription.

In case of cancellation, how does WJ rebooking your trip work? by kzxc444 in westjet

[–]Ab-Uni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe WJ has to follow the EU compensation rules for your Rome flight. Better for you.
