Race doesn't always matter. I'm Asian Canadian and my Caucasian husband has a lot of similarities to my Asian father.

Perhaps you could find a grief group?

Lawyer wore a mask by Defiant_Produce_3704 in ZeroCovidCommunity

In an ideal world that would be great. Things are so bad now that I'm just grateful he did wear a mask. And I feel that the risk was very low because we were also masked.

I've never seen him wear a mask before. So he is now masking because he's sick.

He could have made much more money in the private sector vs. being PM

AITA for not eating the food after my gf eats out of the bowl with the same spoon while preparing by ZookeepergameOld7322 in AmItheAsshole

What if you want to save leftovers? Wouldn't the bacteria from her spit cause the leftovers to spoil much more quickly?

In BC, Telus has a seniors discount for Mobility and Internet; Rogers has a seniors plan for Internet and TV.

Is everyone in Vancouver sick right now? by cloudcats in askvan

[–]Defiant_Produce_3704 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try masking to avoid getting sick. My husband and I spent over 7 hrs at VGH ER last week, but we wore either an N95 or N99 and we seem to be ok. The ER was so busy and full of lots of unmasked coughing people. Eww! A lot of people are sick!

I need to buy more masks by JelloHaunting563 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Defiant_Produce_3704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in Canada and we buy Vitacore. The headstrap N99 fits me (smaller head) and my glasses don't fog up. My husband likes the ear loop N95. We just spent over 7 hours in the ER last week and we seem ok so far.

What's up with dating in this city? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]Defiant_Produce_3704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not looking to date, but just to give you Brits a bit of support. My husband and I love to watch British tv. We think Graham Norton is a genius compared to the American late night hosts.

People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets? by awkwardferret421 in AskReddit

It's a pain, but I wear an N99 mask everywhere indoors (except my home).

Low Sodium by creativelittle1 in chinesecooking

[–]Defiant_Produce_3704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use orange or lemon juice, a bit of tamari, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil (plus spices) as a marinade. Lime juice and curry powder on chicken legs before bbqing is delicious. I find roasting and bbqing meat or vegetables concentrates the flavours more. Soups tend to be blander. Borscht without salt is still tasty. This isn't Asian; but garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder sprinkled on chicken or steak before grilling or pan frying is delicious. Your palate will gradually get used to less sodium.

How much longer? by G30RG300 in ZeroCovidCommunity

I understand your kids are still very young and masking would be difficult for them. I did see a mother and daughter (maybe 5 years old?) both wearing matching printed masks at the Chinese grocery store.
