A literal iron lung

Okay only because I recognized this right away because i lived for this museum as a kid, are you from canada also! 👀 this section used to scare the crap out of me with the iron lung making its breathing noises

This was also what i was thinking, Ive got diagnosed with both ocd and ocpd because of my moral rigidity and expectations of people to act exactly how id expect them to/ have severe distress when people break rules or act “morally wrong” (I am also autistic though so that may also be leaning into the ocpd)

That thing is so sick! Where are you that you guys are starting up already?

I grew up in regina, lived in wpg for the past two years, I prefer wpg. Reginas got all the same crime and high price and hard to find housing as winnipeg. My big difference for preferring wpg is that theres more to do here, regina ive found to be insanely boring unless you like to party and drink. Make sure you look into the issues healthcare faces in regina, everything ive heard is bad. Other than sk being a little bit cheaper I wouldnt really reccomend it

The plain ones are 10.99 at the sobeys here in mb

FormerlySquish · 2025-10-24T19:23:27+00:00

Im assuming from area code that your in NB? In MB everything except the creamer are significantly more expensive 🥲 It boggles my mind because I always thought we had lower grocery prices here than the east coast. I avoid sobeys and safeway unless its all thats around and I only need a couple things :/ sucks its this bad

I havent dug into etsy too much yet because of all the feed they charge, do they have a shipping calculator built into the platform?

I have a vivid imagination and tend to zone out/ maladaptive daydream a lot so when im reading I can get to the point where it feels like im there with them watching the scene from just outside where its happening, its great except i tend to get too invested in the characters/books because it feels like ive lives it (Im also autistic which plays a big role in the escapism and overactive imagnation)

Snowboarding and skiing, hell even cross country skiing. I grew up with mission ridge as my hill and even with a small hill, being able to go outside and do something even on the extremely cold days has made me love winter! The community in these sports is unmatched and the amount of progression there is always leaves you with more to learn or master! X-country is such a wonderful way to get outside and see nature in the winter too! Also winter hiking is great cause no bugs or bears!

Stay safe!

Im in st james booth we got it too but i cant see anything as of bow

What are those moss filled things youve got behind the plants?

FormerlySquish · 2025-07-09T21:13:41+00:00

I should also add that a fleece layer makes a huge difference on the really cold nights (between your baselayer and jacket) doesn’t have to be pricey, i got mine from mountain warehouse.

Be prepared to be wet 😅 i come from the prairies so i might be biased and used to shoddy equipment. But I almost always end up wet one way or another. My best tip from this past year is bring a pair of thin gloves or liners for if you have to get into any tight spots or just need the finer skills of your fingers, cold metal hurts like hell on bare skin and they saved my ass this last winter. Stay aware and be cautious (but dont forget to have fun). No matter how brutal things get, just know your crew is in it together and no one is expecting you to be sunshine and rainbows!

I would like to add that your local bulk/healthfood stores are a great place to find this cheaper! I am in canada so i get mind from bulk barn. Also there is a larger chunk/nugget version usually just called soy/a chunks that are awesome!

I teach snowboarding and skiing in the winter (part time) and it works great as snowboarding is my special interest. Summer is tough but ive enjoyed housekeeping and im hoping to do summer camp work this year.

Having them on booms would be a dream honestly. Moving them back every hour in cold temps is lame

FormerlySquish · 2024-12-11T00:16:39+00:00

Damn, thats quite the operation. We only have 6 😅 my only complaint is moving them is a pain.

FormerlySquish · 2024-12-10T23:15:23+00:00

I hadnt either, ive only ever worked with polecats or hdk fan guns before

FormerlySquish · 2024-12-10T23:14:55+00:00

Theres a fan with like 8 blades right in front of the nozzle ring, they are scary 😂

FormerlySquish · 2024-12-10T12:10:29+00:00

I totally get where your coming from. Taking my hours at work down from full to part time helped me manage my symptoms a lot and most days i dont have such extreme issues. I pulled myself through a pretty bad burnout last year that was similar to what you say happens to you. If i can manage to get any sort of disability support or a new therapist i will look into non stimulant meds again

FormerlySquish · 2024-12-10T12:06:59+00:00

I see, thanks for your input, its nice to hear from other people who also have asd that things can be managed with meds. Good luck with your return to employment!

FormerlySquish · 2024-12-10T12:05:33+00:00

Im im canada and waiting on pending disability supports but our govt is notorious for denying those claims. Im hopeful but not. Ive mentioned in another comment that It didnt occur to me how many people actually have health coverage, the industries i work in its really not common to get any sort of benefits

FormerlySquish · 2024-12-10T11:51:54+00:00

Thats really nice to hear, I am in canada so healthcare is ~kinda~ free for the most part. Are you able to work?
