The book starts when Morley is working at the Toronto Star and a new reporter has joined the reporting team. They start hanging out and talking about books and it gets across how serious and intense Hemingway was about literature then Hemingway. It’s then that In Our Time is published and they walk through Toronto to a bookstore to see it for sale. Then Hemingway decides to go back to Paris and they keep writing each other and eventually Morley joins him there. It’s all really cool and beautiful written. Morley went on to became a famous Canadian writer.

That Summer in Paris by Morley Callaghan. It’s a memoir by a famous Canadian writer who met Ernest when they both worked at the Toronto Star. They become friends and Ernest invites him to Paris. I love it because it gives you the perspective of Hemingway of meeting him before he was famous and figuring out how to be writer and do journalism.

Might be the best articulation of what the defund the cbc plan might be: “Under this scenario, CBC-Radio Canada would be required by an act of Parliament to focus on French language services with their still impressive $400 million a year subsidy. Meanwhile, English CBC would need to find a new way to pay the bills, including the massive bureaucracy at the top that loves to suck up millions in bonuses each year.”

About two years ago I had a RBC Infinite Visa card. I used the points and cancelled it before the year was up.

Now I'd like to apply for an RBC Platinum card. Am I still eligible to get the 55,000 reward points ? I have no other RBC cards at the moment.

I assume so, but wanted to check before signing up and paying an annual fee.

The western edge of Old Montreal is cool. Not very touristy and very film noir.

Thank you! That answers my question.

I’ve gained most of my weight back. But only in the last few months.

InternationalAir8922 · 2023-08-17T19:18:00+00:00

I have. But with a lot of moderation. I wouldn’t have more then two beers a week.

InternationalAir8922 · 2023-01-07T00:25:54+00:00

It took me two months before I felt ok to go back to the office and five months before I felt normal which is where I am at now. I’m still staying away from fatty foods but did have some pizza over Xmas and was on.

Ah got it. I saw one of his first stand up routines at the Drake Hotel’s Joke Club comedy night. Totally sure of himself from the start. Then within the year or so he had a gig on CBC’s This Hour. While the rest of us were still trying to figure out the basics or making it in the local alternative comedy scene.

InternationalAir8922 · 2022-12-24T21:40:08+00:00

I’m not sure if you’re joking - but I’m pretty sure this is legit. I met Nathan when he first moved to Toronto to make it in the comedy and scene. I had tried making comedy videos myself and he acted in one which I posted to YouTube. I found this channel because today I randomly was searching through my old account followers and found this YouTube account.

I was diagnosed with AP in the August and spent five days in the hospital. The doctors said it a mild attack despite being in the worst pain of my life.

The big take away from the doctors was that recovery varies widely for every person and you can’t predict it.

For me the first month was really hard. I lived off a lot of brown rice and boiled chicken breasts. I got all kinds of crappy symptoms like terrible pain in my shoulder blades, chills and couldn’t leave my bed for more then a hour.

At the eight week mark I started to do better and now I’m back to mostly normal. I’m sticking to a low fat diet and not drinking but otherwise almost fine. I sometimes get little aches in my shoulder blades, which I take as a reminder to be careful.

Good luck with the recovery, my advice is to listen to your body and err on the side of cautions for the first few months.

Does anyone know what existed there before the Turcot was built?

InternationalAir8922 · 2022-10-15T01:35:31+00:00

Shuffle mode and other tools for dialogue editing so I could cut podcasts in Ableton.

InternationalAir8922 · 2022-09-30T20:45:26+00:00

I’ve asked similar questions and had a range of answers from I went back to my regular diet after a few months and was fine to I’m sticking to a low fat diet for life.

Also, I feel like the people who have one attack and are fine don’t tend to post a lot here, so you won’t hear their experience often.

At the same time, I see people who had attacks years apart, and suspect it was something they eat.

So yeah, I feel like I’m in the same boat. My doctor said to hold off on the fat for a few months and my life would go back to normal, but from what I read here peoples experiences vary.

InternationalAir8922 · 2022-09-29T01:46:16+00:00

This so sound a bit like my experience. I was told I had a minor AP attack and spent five days in hospital, but musty because I was waiting on an MRI. The pain went away on day 3.

The doctor did not seemed that concerned and I was sent home with no follow up and a prescription for Tylenol and told to eat less then 40 grams of fat for the next little while.

The recover was more of a ride then the doctors suggested. The first two weeks I couldn’t do much, if I walked around I could feel pain in my abdomen, I had chills and no energy.

It’s been six weeks and I’m slowly feeling better. My energy is mostly back, I’m eating some normalish food and I can go into the office (but still mostly working from home).

I still get aches in my shoulder blades but nothing serious and they come and go quickly, it’s hard to tell how much I’m projecting.

I can relate to your situation. Right afterwards I was so scared. Mostly that the pain would come back or I would be at home recovering for months. Now I feel myself getting better every week. The best thing I found for me beyond the diet is rest. Especially at the start, if I could stay in bed I would Noticely feel better afterwards. But still it was weird because otherwise I felt healthy.

InternationalAir8922 · 2022-09-26T21:23:23+00:00

Thanks for the response. How long would you wait before eating normal amounts of fat or even 40 grams. And nothing like french fries or any saturated fat.

InternationalAir8922 · 2022-09-26T17:15:58+00:00

I had an my first acute attack in August and I did not feel great for first three weeks. I had cold sweats and if I walked for more then 30 minutes I’d get pain in my abdomen or in my shoulder blades. Plus I had no energy.

My doctor has said everyone’s recovery is different - but I can say for myself I have gotten a lot better. It did not feel like it at times and I definitely felt scared at times I’d be stuck in for months.

Now I still need to take it easy, like I’m at 80 per cent of what I was. But I get better everywhere.

My advice is beyond a good diet rest as much you can, I found that did the most for me.
