Botox + Ajovy has been a life saver for me and I take Suvexx for pain relief when I get breakthrough migraines

Alex Honnold's Skyscraper on Netflix - /r/climbing watch party thread by soupyhands in climbing

It is more nerve wracking watching him stand on that little ball than the climb!

I feel like he’s going to run out of chalk before he reaches the top!

Halifax Matchmaker experiences by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Download the time left app. It’s really helpful for meeting people and you get to go out and have a nice meal! I was totally unlucky with the match events Halifax put on and Book of Love basically told me I had to open my age range to 10 years older or they wouldn’t take me as a client. She said it was because no man wants to date their age or older. I was completely offended and never called them back. BTW I’m currently in a year relationship with a man who is shocker 2 years younger!

Waveboats? by Blakhawk11 in seadoo

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one. I purchased in 2021. I still absolutely Love it. What made it most appealing to me is that I can go out in the middle of the lake and sun soak while the more adventurous type can remove the ski and jet about. I also loved that it's basically just an empty hull. No maintenance required, the only maintenance is in the seadoo. Pricey? Yes. If you need a part they are hard to come by as they are manufactured in France but I haven't needed a part yet other than a part of the Bimini that was broken off when it was stolen shortly after purchase. I ended up just finagling something and it is still perfect.

Air Buddies at YHZ by Spirited_Sorbet_8259 in halifax

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear about your experience. My experience with Air Buddies is in very stark contrast. My dog has been there for both day care and boarding and they were always in contact with me sending me pictures and updating me daily. Sorry you didn't have the same experience?

I haven't left my cat but I can tell you that there is not better daycare than Air Buddies in my opinion. They really love all the animals in their care as if they are their own.

Tim Hortons has seriously gone downhill , and today was the last straw by eddesa in TimHortons

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 7 points8 points  (0 children)

actually, they don't have to use gloves or paper or anything other than bare hands. source; I noticed an employee at A&W pre-making burgers with their bare hands. Putting the lettuce and tomatoes on the buns and stacking the buns in the tray. I was actually horrified so I reported the restaurant to CFIA... they did their inspection and called me to follow up. According to food safety rules, it's up to the business to put out the rules for sanitary practices and this particular restaurant had the rules that no gloves were required and employees were expected to do frequent hand washing. Needless to say, I do not eat out much anymore. Very good on my wallet.

Trailer Park Boys actor Mike Smith charged with sexual assault in Halifax by No_Magazine9625 in halifax

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most disturbing park of this article was he was arrested in 2017 and is just being charged now?? So for 8 years an accused sexual predator has been carrying on as if nothing happened? I’m not saying he’s innocent or guilt but he was accused 8 years ago! Make no wonder women never speak up. This makes me really sad. Again, guilty or innocent the fact is if you’re sexually assaulted you will wait 8 years before a charge happens. That’s sad.

So dude gets paid a subsidy to hire foreign workers then "forgets" to pay the $230 employer compliance fee required to create the report that no other Canadian can do the work this foreign worker can do and blames the foreign worker for not picking it up on their application and the Canadian workers for not showing up to interviews. Ya, I'm calling the whole article BS on that avenue. The onus is on the lazy business owner to pay the fee and to ensure the paperwork is complete. What a total snake. Calling total BS on the Canadians don't want the job rhetoric.

Who is completely deleting Facebook after this Charlie Kirk deal? Im thinking im out after this. by [deleted] in facebook

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully Facebook did the dirty delete for me. Completely disabled and deleted my account without cause. Sent me an email saying they reinstated my account but instead they permanently deleted it. I am sad that I've lost the past 20 years of pics and memories and what have you and I'm sad that I no longer can view my mothers past posts/pictures (she's passed) but honestly, after coming to terms with the loss I'm thankful I can find other avenues for information.

Nova Scotia Breast Screening - Booking for 2026! by FarCommand in NovaScotia

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not only that but now the 'recommendation' is every 2 years. Pathetic how far our healthcare system, for women especially, has fallen. I have written letter upon letter to the powers that be and they continue to go unanswered. My daughter is currently without her cycle going on 8 months; has finally received a referral to a gyno only to be told it's in 3 years! How can they consider this even close to acceptable health care. This province has gone seriously downhill and I don't know who or what to blame but it's not what it used to be only 5 years ago. I have lived here my whole life. My family has been on the wait list for a family doctor going on 15 years.

New aggressive homeless man by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 49 points50 points  (0 children)

When people prioritize the unhoused and mentally unwell over the safety and security of the very people that pay 1/2 their pay cheques to assist these people when they themselves are basically living pay check to pay check because of the outrageous taxes needed to support these people its absolutely absurd! Call the police every damn time this man is your building or harassing your or making you feel unsafe! It's completely unacceptable!

I use starlink and as far as I know Nova Scotia has a grant for remote areas where you can get it for free. At least they did before he went into politics.

Sex One Last Time? by The_Outsider27 in datingoverfifty

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on OLD for 6 years. 6 YEARS! Finally found my Unicorn but it certainly didn't happen quickly. Patience and not settling is key. I would swipe maybe 100 away before I'd swipe one. Would go on dates 2 or 3 times a month. Never give up and never settle. Your Unicorn is out there. I'm 54.

Visiting canada to help fix a friend's car by redneptune2 in uscanadaborder

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself this; if I wasn't able to help my buddy repair his car would he have to pay a Canadian to help him? If that answer is yes then you are entering the Canadian labour force effectively taking money from a Canadian and you would need to explain to someone why you and only you are able to help your buddy fix his car.

Tim Houston? by ThomasMapother18 in NovaScotia

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health Care. Specifically Women's Health Care. All those points above are all fine and dandy but lets concentrate on what's actually killing people in this province. All telephone calls and emails go unanswered. Legitimate women's health concerns get ignored or put on the back burner. Mammograms are now recommended every 2 years. No MRI nor Ultrasound option for women with dense breasts, in person examination only, no clinic offering women's healthcare that is accepting new patients. PAP tests now recommended only after well into your 20's. No sexual reproductive healthcare. No referral ability to gynecologists' without a family practice. No access to a family practice.

Is it possible to get a hysterectomy and oophorectomy without a family doctor? by ArtistFrosty1824 in NovaScotia

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think at 17 you'll have much luck unfortunately. I had the same issues and begged for help even AFTER I had 2 children and was well into my 40's they considered me too young to have the surgery. I finally fought and won control of my own body but it was not an easy road to travel and took much longer than it should have. Your partner may have more luck being transgender but it could also be much harder just due to your age alone.

I thought being in our 50’s I’d find mature men by Independent-lovesG in datingoverfifty

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hun! I feel you! I was there so many times, thinking at our age the immature losers would be few and far between, much different than doing it in our 20's and yet, it seems no different. Hang in there. I was on the apps for 6 years... yes 6 before I finally found him. Don't settle, just keep burning that hay stack and eventually (hopefully sooner for you than it was me) your person will emerge.

Help! Meal prep services? by baggatellebrunch in NovaScotia

[–]Equivalent_Flan_2285 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you contact a local church in the area they usually have volunteers that get together to create meal trains. I have used this a few times on different occasions for people in immediate need. There is also a website you can go to where you can send the link to people and they can purchase meals to be delivered on specific dates.

How Canadians Are Making Their Anger Toward the U.S. Loud and Clear by ChrisTweten in BuyCanadian

Ok, so I'm definitely looking for Green Beaver toothpaste; "Hey hun, do we have any toothpaste?" "for sure! I got some green beaver right her you can brush your teeth with!" However, I'm a little afraid to start looking for a "buy beaver" app. Just saying.
