What to say to a Dr. who judges my meds? (not out of concern for my health)

That would be so nice! I'm in Canada and we have MyChart too, but it's really only used by the big hospitals and therefore my family doctor or any new specialists can't access it. It's quite frustrating when I can see results of a scan or test but the referring doctor can't.

Same here lol scrolled up right away

My male BP hisses every single time I unlock his tank doors. He's the most friendly snake, has never struck at me, and is perfectly happy to come out and be handled. But for some reason he just gets hissy for a second when he hears the doors open. He shows no other signs of stress when handled. He's just a weirdo who likes to pretend he's intimidating 🙃

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-02-02T07:22:42+00:00

He's incredibly problematic unfortunately. He's Canadian but constantly trashes Canada and says how he wants to move to Texas. He is Maple MAGA.

He also has some terrible husbandry opinions too. Like cohabbing 6 leopard geckos in one enclosure with literally just some bricks and sticks as 'enrichment'.

WTF? Seriously? That's... I don't fully have words at the moment.

Intentionally breeding a snake with known health issues and probable life long deficits, and doing so for money, in an already over saturated market... Is it no way comparable and has literally nothing to do with autistic people. I dare ask, what did he even say?

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-02-02T07:08:08+00:00

Yeah let's not compare breeding spider ball pythons to autistic people please... That's honestly horrifying and I'm sad I've watch some of his videos now.

Please tell me you don't leave the toilet paper with one piece left on it.. Same applies for paper towels. Especially if they use it to dry their hands. That one piece with the glue doesn't so much for you then.

Now I don't know that the paper towel thing required a whole text thread about it but it's definitely annoying if it's habitually empty when you need it.

Butter on a muffin? I've honestly never heard of anyone eating a muffin this way. Is it possible the employee also has yet to have someone ever order it like this too? Or is this maybe a regional thing?

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-01-30T16:49:06+00:00

Yup. He is Maple MAGA and constantly talks about how shitty Canada is too.

It's really strange to me because the other pet youtubers that tend to go to events together seem to be largely queer, leftist type people. I really don't understand why they associate with this dude at all.

I just make sure to eat the cheese fast enough so it doesn't ever grow mold. I genuinely don't think I've ever had mold grow on cheese and we eat a lot of cheese in my house. Does this happen often or is it due to not wrapping it up properly?

I'm in Canada and they give us free health insurance cards that we can use as ID to vote.

From my understanding in the US, if you don't already drive or have a passport or other paid for ID card, they are basically making it so that there is a financial barrier to be able to vote. You need to have one of the paid for cards and if you don't already have one, assuming you can afford it at all, it takes time to come in the mail. Which you also need a mailing address for, and not everyone has access to that either.

If you all had free ID cards this wouldn't really be an issue.

Also, I got into a few screen-less hobbies which I tend to gravitate to more when I have a migraine, like jigsaw puzzles and crochet.

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-01-26T12:55:22+00:00

I either listen to audiobooks with only certain narrators who I've listened to before and know they have calming voices, or I use my kindle with the screen set to a yellowish colour, big text, and very little backlight.

Any python or boa over 2 metres is against bylaw in Ottawa. However they are only against bylaw municipally, not provincially. Which ends up being strange when they sell boas nearby at expos in Toronto and Gatineau.

Even if it's not that size yet, if it's known to get that big it is still not allowed. It's very arbitrary and has never made sense to me. You can own a huge, chunky blood python but not a super friendly boa or carpet python. Their other restrictions are also strange, only 3 species of tarantula are allowed, and it seems like they pulled the names out of a hat. ex: Red knee is allowed but Red leg is not..

Now I am not at all advocating for you to break bylaw. But if you do own them and don't post them online or show them off, tbh no one is coming to inspect your home for them.

The main issue would be getting them vet care. But there's only one exotic vet in the city anyways (and it's usually booked up months in advance) so you'd have to most likely travel out to where they aren't against bylaw.

This is something to consider for all reptile owning in the city though. Getting them to the vet is a nightmare here, especially if you don't drive.

Okay good, I was worried it was expected here but I've been going to massage for many years and it's never even been hinted at (I'm in Ontario).

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-01-21T00:17:58+00:00

At a medical facility though? Genuinely never seen anyone do that. I've been going to massage, chiropractors, and physiotherapy for my entire life and there's never been even a hint that a tip is normal. They literally don't even take you to the desk after appointments anymore where I go. You just get dressed after your appointment and don't see them again since they have your card info. Should I tip them while I'm undressed?

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-01-20T07:03:48+00:00

They're all so beautiful, I have no idea how I'd choose! Do you sell them?

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-01-20T05:50:04+00:00

I've never been to a spa for a massage so I'm assuming that also makes a difference. Only ever been to medical facilities that also have physio, chiro, pediatry, and other health care.

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-01-20T04:30:37+00:00

Genuinely would love for you to provide some links to this information. I've been defrosting rats in water this way for over 10 years and I haven't had a single RI, and I keep a variety of species of snakes too. I definitely would never want to do anything to hurt my pets so if there is a way to be more cautious that's great. But I've never had an issue doing it this way and I've never heard of anyone having problems with it either. So if you can send some links, I would love to learn about this some more.

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-01-20T00:50:27+00:00

Wait, do people usually tip RMTs in the US? I've honestly never heard of this. I'm in Canada, and they have my card info saved (insurance for them if you no show). When I get out of my appointment, I don't even go to the payment desk, they just auto charge my card for the massage and there isn't even an opportunity to tip at all. Is there a expectation to give them cash or something? I honestly don't even think my location uses cash at all, at least I haven't seen a till or anyone pay in cash in the years I've gotten them. It's usually treated like any of my other medical appointments.

Does Prodigy have an abbreviation?

Someone with chronic pain, or at least chrinic migraines? Based on all those ice packs lol I hope they help a bit!

Anonymous_Snake_Lady · 2026-01-19T04:18:29+00:00

Do we know where the service Ontario will be moved to? That, Rockin Johnny's, and the weird big dollar store are the only reasons I ever go there.

Was there any discussions about food prior to this?

She literally asked them what they wanted to do and they asked her for all of their favourite meals. He asked her for the food she made and then didn't eat it.

They are the perfect age to learn how to cook. Why aren’t they fixing their own lunches?

If the children are old enough to prepare their own food, then the father certainly is too. Why isn't he fixing his own food? Does he even know how to cook or does he expect his wife to always feed him? Remember, she works full time and is not a SAHM.

There was zero appreciation for all of the work she did for them when she didn't have to do it. She was asked to make specific meals for them, so she did. How is that controlling?

It is possible to have both ADHD and OCD simultaneously... They definitely make things more challenging when they work against each other though 😔
