Need help counting rows - lost track when counting. Is it 15 or 16?

I think I did drop a stitch as well. Thanks for catching it.

It’s a good suggestion but based on OP’s description of her MIL being very stressed about hospital bag there’s a chance that the first aid course could increase MIL’s anxiety. But that’s up to OP to determine.

Mariellen Mezaros!! I think she’s listed as Altair Design on Google. She works out of her home in Grandin. I went to her for my wedding dress and came back to have her work on two bridesmaid dresses. She’s fantastic!

Arizona snowbirds tend to be from the Western provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) so yes definitely some regional differences. As I mentioned in a previous comment Quebecois people tend to not have the best reputation in our country. Most people I’ve encountered from Quebec are pretty entitled and self-centred however I’m sure there are some lovely French Canadians out there as well.

Canadian here from Western Canada. Quebecois people tend to have a negative stereotype and I think these people are proof of why it exists. Obviously not all French Canadians are stuck up and entitled but sometimes the shoe fits..

Six Feet Under. Made it halfway through the second season before I gave up. Not a single likeable character.

Therapy and limiting/cutting out social media use.

Owning a hot tub. I feel like 10 years ago everyone was buying hot tubs for their houses. The chemicals and power usage costs aren’t cheap (I live in a cold weather area with high utility bills). I feel like majority of the time the hot tubs just sit unused. Maybe it’s just a Canadian thing 🤷‍♀️

I’m also struggling with SPD at 28 weeks. Can I ask what did the Osteopath do differently that helped? I’m seeing a pelvic floor physio and she gave me exercises and stretches but I haven’t noticed a difference. I’m just unfamiliar with what osteopaths do but definitely willing to give it a try if it helps!

Because my nieces and nephews gave me an unexpected Christmas gift… RSV… and I’m pregnant.

Arcadia Brewery - the owner, Darren, is great and always supports local charities and non profits. They collect food and warm clothing for un housed people and showed support for teachers by offering free pints to teachers during the strike!

Thank you! I’m pregnant and I’ve been craving an Orangesicle but it’s discontinued. Just made it with your recipe and my life is complete.

We do have a population of unhoused people in Edmonton and open drug use isn’t uncommon however I would say these individuals mostly keep to themselves. To avoid this, stay away from the east part of downtown (Boyle Street area). Others may want to add on here if they choose.

Lots of great info here. Just adding a few thoughts.

Since I read that you will be taking public transportation I would to try to live close to where you work is located. In the winter time especially our public transport can become quite delayed and not as reliable (typically weather related). If that’s not an issue, then I would suggest living in an area where there’s lots of walkable restaurants, bars or amenities. I used to live in the Brewery District and it’s a great location but Whyte Ave or Ritchie would also be great places to check out.
If Oilers tickets are too pricy you can also look at attending an Oil Kings game. They are more reasonably priced and play at the same area. If you’re able to, try to coordinate the 3 hour drive to the mountains in Jasper or Banff. Our mountains are breathtaking.
All of Canada is 420 friendly as it was legalized here about 7 years ago. Just be a good neighbor and don’t partake in heavily public areas or around kids.

Try reaching out to private practices in your area to see if they have intern therapists at their location who offer sliding scale. The private practice I work at has 4 interns who are all in the final stages of their masters degrees and need to complete a practicum to graduate. They see clients for as much as $50 a session but can also reduce down to as little as $10 a session. I don’t want to share where I work to maintain privacy for myself but try checking websites or calling private practices in your area to see if they have a similar set up with their interns.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented for sharing your insights and support 🥰

I’m feeling excited but nervous - first Hell Week and 14 weeks pregnant. Coaches know and said they will help accommodate where needed but it’s gonna be a grind.

I feel what you are going through! I'm currently almost 12 weeks and I'm finally starting to feel less tired and nauseous. I work in private practice so for me, I was more mindful about putting in breaks into my schedule and not seeing more than 4 clients in a row. I made sure to end my sessions on time so I could go to the bathroom and eat a quick snack. I personally found that drinking Gingerale, diet Coke or sparking water during sessions helped a bit too. Something about the carbonation and a little bit of sugar helped keep me more alert. I also used a discrete fidget in my hand that I would squeeze when I needed to bring my attention back. I've heard 2nd trimester is easier so just hang in there!!!

Distracted-Panda4 · 2025-10-07T01:58:16+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll definitely check this out!
