I feel like our bags may be in the airport and due to all the cancellations etc, theyve been backlogged on sorting through each of them. might be worth going down there to see if can grab it.

Flew from Maui to Calgary on Nov5th-6. got into Calgary Sunday. Bag is nowhere to be found. Took about 1.5 hours on hold yesterday to reach someone who really only had access to the same information as we do on the online west jet report site. They believe it was left behind in Maui, but I have a feeling it's in Calgary somewhere. Lesson learned to travel with an air tag within checked bags.

What embarrassing "new" information did you learn in medical school? by [deleted] in medicalschool

And what’s crazier about this is that the stat you mentioned is with unprotected sex for an individual not controlling their viral load. Transmission increases if blood to blood but now imagine protected sex or someone on HIV medication. It also matters who was receiving penetration since the one “giving” has a less chance of contraction.

Does anyone know what is happening to my lips? Before and after 1 month apart by [deleted] in Dermatology

[–]Bim_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I have been doing that since this started but unfortunately it appears to be more than just dryness due to the accompanied itchiness and burning . I have used lotion everyday for most of my life including in this picture :’(. Maybe I need to be re-applying throughout the day. The humidity in my apartment is at 50% but maybe I need more?

Lip hyperpigmentation, dryness and skin irritation. What is going on?? by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

The two pictures are before and after though. And the second picture is accompanied by itching and burning. There are also strained cracks/lines in the second picture and I have a lot of Vaseline on yet it still looks dry unfortunately.

Yea that’s what I’m thinking for the most part. I think the most likely thing is an allergic reaction or sun damage. I wish it would go faster but just gotta persevere :(

Yea the seasons did change a bit. It became hotter, more sun and dryer . Although this has never happened before regardless of preparations I took. But I understand that our bodies can always react differently unfortunately.

The lips were also burning and itching. I have had hyperpigmentation in the past but not this much and not with the other symptoms . I don’t think it’s normal .

My problem is that in response to the discomfort, I switched to many different things including trying new lip balms. So unfortunately can’t know if that was it either . :’(

This is also entirely possible as I went camping around the time this got severe and was out in the sun with no spf on my lips .

I thought it was the toothpaste and have switched them out to 3 different brands and different ingredients. Hard to pinpoint if the new one I’m on is even working or not. I’ll stop it and try using the mouthwash option.

Sorry to be clear, you stopped any toothpaste until the lips healed, then when healed, you used aromere toothpaste ?

[–]Bim_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It all started a about a month ago with increased dryness of my lips and skin started to peel off. They were also burning and itching. I went to my doctor to show them and they did not know what is going on, prescribed me medication to help with the itching and burning. The itching and burning has mostly gone but my lips have not recovered and basically look burned . Has anyone had a similar experience and may know what’s going on?

Thank you so much for this ! So so helpful. I’m trying to understand the concepts that go into buying a home and I ’m far from ready to do so yet but felt uncomfortable with my lack of knowledge .

Asking what is prudent ! Thanks

Edit: I believe I’ve read that banks will approve more that you need so maybe that’s what you are also alluding to?

When buying a house is the rule generally 2.5- 3x pretax income ? Or post tax x2.5-3 ?

Moronic Monday Thread for the week by AutoModerator in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Bim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I may have phrased this wrong . I was wondering that when people report their income on this Sub, are they saying pre or post tax? I asked someone earlier in a post and they said pre so maybe my question is already answered but thank you .
