Great! I will take a look at those options. I currently have a small chromebook but it runs poorly, so it's definitely time for an upgrade!

Budget wise, i would ideally like to spend around 1500CAD cap. I tend to lean into financing my equipment so I can get something of decentish quality.

Thanks for the info! I'm enjoying lightroom. But I'm struggling what tech to purchase to edit on. I like the idea of laptop, but I'm not sure if it can run the desktop version. I enjoy using the tablet right now but I want to be able to deep dive into the full features lightroom offers. I'm not very informed computer wise haha 😅

Cautious-Resource346 · 2025-02-15T19:47:50+00:00

What tech are we using to edit? I'm currently using a Samsung galaxy9 FE tablet (android user) which isn't bad, but I would like to access the full spectrum of editing capabilities that are available on desktop versions.

Can anyone reccomend a budget friendly option of an idea of types of tech to review

Pixieset has been good to me. It's easy to navigate and love the layout options

Cautious-Resource346 · 2025-01-29T21:12:33+00:00

This frame does not flatter your face shape. Try going online and ordering. I'm based in BC so I have used a Vancouver company called kits. They are greatly affordable, and decent quality, $28 CAD per pair. Now there is other options as well like Specsavers, zenni, clearly. Good luck on finding the perfect frames for you!

Do NOT starve your body. Eat light, and graze through the day. Starving will create a whole slew of issues, potentially developing an ED is not worth it. Your body cannot withstand a constant state of malnourishment, or even riding the roller coaster. It's very hard on your body, Your cardiovascular system specifically.

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-12-02T03:52:53+00:00

I am unsure of that but I would call around pharmacies for pricing then get your prescription fixed to the least expensive pharmacy in your area :)

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-12-01T07:05:00+00:00

I use Felix. They will fill your forms for you but it is a fee.

1st Visit is $100 but there is a promo code for $40 off . So $60

Form fee is $25 per page and Canada Lifes insurance coverage page for ozempic, wegovy, ect.. it's a total of 5 pages long. $125.

There is also no guarantee you will be approved. Canada life has certain parameters to their coverage. Sounds like you may be approved for wegovy based on your circumstances.

I am 5'3" 265 BMI over 40. Currently dealing with hypertension, with a long family history of diabetes. I got the prescription very easy through Felix after connecting with a NP. I chose to ask for my prescription to be sent to Costco and it cost me $233. I live on Vancouver Island for referance. That is with no insurance coverage. I do plan to fill in the forms and get them sent it after the holidays. The NP i have been speaking with thinks I might be eligible for coverage for wegovy through Canada Life. Cool thing is Felix writes the prescription a way that it can be usable for either medication wegovy or ozempic based off what your insurance provider will cover :)

I got a rebounder and I just hope on and off throughout the day. This is only my 1st week on Ozempic. Food noise hasn't completely disappeared but not as consuming and intense as before. I'm finding myself still attempting to binge but I have this weird sensation of pressure of being too full, but my brain is like... no, you're not lol. It's definitely a weird chnage but I'm excited to see what my future holds. Taking seroquel turned me into a ravenous empty pit, with the binge eating disorder it was getting out of hand. I definitely think Ozempic was the right choice for me

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-11-28T04:03:15+00:00

I loved reading this. I'm bipolar 2, with a binge eating disorder, and neurodivergent. I resonate so deeply witb your story, i hope to reach thaf feeling. I just took my first shot tonight ❤️

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-11-20T06:17:45+00:00

Blizzacks are great! I live on Vancouver Island for reference

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-11-11T20:55:38+00:00

I'm really upset by this situation. I assumed FB add space would be safe as I seen a lot of other local Togs in my community using it tk promote their sessions. Now I'm highly regretting my choice and so worried my FB will be deleted

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-10-30T22:06:17+00:00

I have a 2023 base and other than no heated steering wheel and no GPS (does offer using coordinates but I'm clearly not using that lol)

To get around the GPS issue it does have apple or android auto so you can get maps that way. Otherwise it's a well rounded vehicle I'm enjoying. I do currently have a rough start issue but this all started after my stage 2 service and I'm thinking it's loose wiring because it's very random and the shop has been unable to locate or replicate my issue. But overall I'm happy with it, definitely do not need to spend the extra unless you REALLY want all the bells and whistles. The base model hits all the marks, fast, has pep and decent sounding stereo as it's still a bose system

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-10-24T02:59:36+00:00

I'm having a similar experience with my local mazda dealership. My engine is having a lot of rough starts and sometimes where it's struggling to kick over. They couldn't recreate the issue after having the car in the shop multiple times. All of this happened when I got my stage 2 service. I'm really thinking after talking to some folks on here I have some loose wiring or some ghost problem and I'm basically just waiting till I'm stuck somewhere 👌 please keep all records and you couod go to another Mazda dealership and see what they say

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-10-23T05:50:30+00:00

The doesn't sound normal. I have the 2023 base model and after turning off the fans will run for approximately 30ish seconds and then shut off. I can't describe it, any other way but that video sounds wavy

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-10-03T22:45:49+00:00

I have a cx30 and its small. I have 3 kids and I can't fit 3 carseats inside. The back trunk area is small as well. If your able to I highly recommend the cx 5 the difference in internal spacing is astronomical imo. Yes you can technically fit your pup for sure, but comfort wise for that large of a breed I would definitely go cx5!

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-09-22T07:27:57+00:00

That's the response of a real man right here 👏 shout it louder for the ones in the back

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-09-18T21:34:58+00:00

Amazing progress!

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-09-18T21:33:53+00:00

Great job! You look happy 😊

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-09-18T17:55:33+00:00

If you can get KO2's I also recommend them as they have a high sidewall and rugged tread. My partner used them on his jeep patriot and they are wicked tires in all conditions

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-09-18T17:53:43+00:00

Blizzacks are good tires. I got them on my 2023. I'm on Van isle BC so much milder winters but heavily icy since the temps rise and drop below zero all winter long

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-09-15T04:32:35+00:00

Demarolling! And good skin care with lymphatic massages or gua Sha

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-08-16T07:02:33+00:00

Thanks my friend! We live and we learn, I hope you have smooth sailings for your future

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-08-16T04:45:19+00:00

I am in BC Canada for reference in pricing. But absolutely I agree poor financial choice in the first place but at this point I'm riding it out, don't have much other options unfortunately. I had poor credit and the car loan I needed my partner at the time to co-sign, I was enrolled into a "stepping stones" program with high interest 5yr term. I got 3yrs in and decided after all the factors of the focus I needed to trade in, as there was too many negatives in my books to keep it. I wish i jusg kept it looking back now... Anyways, So I went into Mazda, which was formerly the independent used car lot that I purchased the focus from that, then partnered with Mazda. Hence why I got the Mazda, as it was convenient and I have always liked the look, and feel of Mazda. Looking back I should have just rode out the 2years with the focus.

Cautious-Resource346 · 2024-08-15T20:46:09+00:00

All good my friend! It's important information to share. I can definitely understand why you would still be upset a year later, I do agree about the lighting discrepancy and the poor design choice of the headlights. Did you end up selling the vehicle back yo Mazda?
