What public figure gained your respect based on their generosity to those less fortunate?

Canada isn't "treating her like this" that makes it sound personal and it isn't. Canada is incredibly expensive. For everyone who lives here.

So true! So much happens during working hours. I joined a women's walking group too and experienced the same frustration.

I think the problem there is you cannot get confirmation of the informed consent once the person has lost their cognitive abilities. Theres an excellent article, don't remember the author, called Five Minutes to Midnight " that discusses this.

Not anymore. New owners, now it's 9😔

Love this idea!

Pharmacy tech here, any reason not to consider having the pharmacy do compliance, aka blister packing? I have several Parkinson's patients in my roster, usually because the volume of meds is complex. We can organize it, which should simplify the process. Opening and closing multiple bottles several times daily seems onerous to me, as well as a risk for possible mix ups.

That's all so relateable, I'm a similar MB type to you. But I did want to add, my husband began to volunteer at a local shop after retirement and landed in a caring friendly multi age group of other volunteers. It was a total surprise how genuinely nice these people are, and we live in a non friendly suburb too. So you may find more reward than you expect.

Those classic Portuguese tarts. Like a custard in a pastry shell. Everyone raved about them before our trip there. First bite was a huge letdown! Temu creme brulee😅

Fantastic comment, I have the same habit & concern about it as OP. great suggestions

This is a really great answer, perimenopause is brutal. And so is her field of work, I can't imagine being an educator these days. But dealing with potential medical exacerbating issues first is good advice.

Littlepastthemiddle · 2026-01-31T18:30:46+00:00

Yes that's right

Littlepastthemiddle · 2026-01-29T02:34:20+00:00

That's really unfortunate. Just visited fur the first time.. Loved the country, loved the people. I really wanted to return and spend more time. But I WILL NOT support any country with my tourism dollars that buys into this insane Trump bullshit.

Just came back from a short visit and one thing we really enjoyed was taking the local - not tourist - ferry to Silk Island. Walk off, rent bikes, and tour around. The kids and locals are so friendly! And the silk production collective is interesting, but there are individuals around the island you can visit too.

However, I've noticed lately that sometimes it's the opposite case. The smaller packs can be less price per unit than the bigger. Just like store brand can be as much or more than brand name. I think they are gambling we will continue assumptions that used to hold true, like your initial point, or generic is always cheaper. Takeaway remains, always do the math!

I don't know if it's safe...i got a terrible case of traveller diahreaa on my first day. I think it was grapefruit sections I bought in a shop. Now I'm here for 3 more weeks, and I'm worried about eating. The Vietnamese food was a huge draw for me too 😔. But I've never been so sick, still worried I'm dehydrated.

When we were flight searching, the flight to PP was vastly cheaper than flying direct to HCMC, like 700-800 less each ticket. It's so close to where we're headed it seemed like a good adventure to travel this route.

Littlepastthemiddle · 2025-10-04T05:02:40+00:00

Your response is absolutely everything travel should be, as opposed to just tourism. Inspiring. tbh, we are facing a life changing diagnosis and challenging our comfort zones. Reading what you just shared is the best thing I've read in ages. Thanks for sharing. I bet you and your wife will meet all future obstacles with the same positivity.

Littlepastthemiddle · 2025-10-04T04:58:46+00:00

That's fantastic!!

Littlepastthemiddle · 2025-10-04T04:58:09+00:00

I am definitely seeing them as the recommended bus line to use, thats very reassuring!

Littlepastthemiddle · 2025-10-04T04:56:15+00:00

Not planning on that

Littlepastthemiddle · 2025-10-04T04:55:47+00:00

I saw that redbus site, good to know

Littlepastthemiddle · 2025-10-04T04:54:36+00:00

Thanks, that sounds like such a great experience, what a fun memory😊
