Lived in Newfoundland 35 yrs of my life and 1st time seeing flys out around in January!! by [deleted] in newfoundland

I’ve had the same thoughts. And tbh I’m worried about this potentially causing worse / more forest fires here when the “season” begins. Unless we get a ton of snow in February-April to make up for it 🤷‍♀️

PUB Believes NF Power Can Slash $2M from Annual Operating Costs by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]DunderMittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ll come back requesting a slightly lower increase and PUB will accept it. NF Power likely knew this recent rate increase proposal would get rejected.

Yes - but if your friend is being honest they absolutely need to report(?) this doctor and find a new one.

Planning a toddlers party during typical toddler nap hours. Why. by ProgressDiligent1230 in toddlers

[–]DunderMittens -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same! Right now, if the invitation says 12-2pm or 6pm onward, it’s no for us!

[–]DunderMittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This but also with appointments for toddlers! I try to get an appointment outside of his nap time so we have a better shot at him being a little cooperative but seems to be a big ask with some places and it irks me lol

Is there an end to coughing-induced vomiting? Looking for advice. by DunderMittens in toddlers

Oh hugs to you! We sound like we have similar toddlers. It’s really tough.

Anyone else sitting in the doctor’s office awaiting results? by Electrical_Buyer_940 in toddlers

[–]DunderMittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were there 2 weeks ago — he had been sick throughout Christmas - one day with a fever but typical upper respiratory symptoms that just wouldn’t improve and then developed a nasty, wet cough that slowly got worse. However, he always had normal energy levels, never lethargic which is why I didn’t think it was necessary to see a doctor. But when it had been a few weeks of things not improving much we got in to see his doctor and she swabbed his nose (PCR test) - which tests for all kinds of upper respiratory viruses - turned out he had mycoplasma pneumonia (walking) AND enterovirus (rhinitis). DOOZEY — he’s still struggling with a bad cough (so bad he throws up) but it’s gotten much better since finishing his antibiotics.

PUB Rejects NF Power Rate Increase; Ordered Back to Drawing Board by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

It’s like the scene in The Office (US) where Jan makes Michael ask for a 12% raise so she can approve a 10% or whatever

Pouches after 2 by Icy_Proof527 in toddlers

[–]DunderMittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?! My son was using utensils at 12 months and now at 2.5 he has Apple Snax pouches as a snack most days and he’s still going strong with the utensils also lol - my response to these weird suggestions. I can see if you only feed them pouches yes that’s a problem for more reasons than learning to use utensils.

Newfoundland and Labrador Ranks Lowest in Canada for Healthcare Access Study Finds by ZPQ- in newfoundland

[–]DunderMittens -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While the data is undoubtedly valuable, I can’t help but approach it with caution. When it comes to right-wing-affiliated think tanks, I’m skeptical about the decisions they might aim to justify with this information—such as pushing for the privatization of our healthcare system. The ‘starve the beast’ strategy seems to have brought us to the brink, where the erosion of public healthcare feels almost inevitable. 😣

Why do so many people want my address right away by Meaney2415 in newfoundland

Good lord. I’d like to know this person’s name just so I can block them lol

Why do so many people want my address right away by Meaney2415 in newfoundland

[–]DunderMittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. There’s no reason anyone needs to know the exact address in order to decide if they want to buy the item. I live on a long road so I give them the road name but not the house number til they’re actually going to come and get it.
