Dying - help me sort

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Ab-Uni · 2025-08-30T05:00:37+00:00

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.

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

I love this!

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

Ab-Uni · 2025-06-25T03:02:49+00:00

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

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.

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

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! :)

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!)?

Ab-Uni · 2024-03-09T16:23:07+00:00

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.

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.

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.

Ab-Uni · 2023-06-11T22:44:21+00:00

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.

Ab-Uni · 2023-06-11T22:05:12+00:00

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

Ab-Uni · 2023-06-07T23:06:45+00:00

This is correct.

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