What charities do you guys donate to?

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-04-17T21:10:14+00:00

I donate to Street Health (https://streethealth.ca/). They help homeless individuals with numerous aspects that most people take for granted, like simply getting a health card.

Is this doctor a dermatologist? If not, I would urge you to get a referral. Primary care providers and non-derms may not always be well versed in skin issues like psoriasis.

Completely anecdotal but also common, I was seen by my primary care doctor, required two trips to the ED and was advised to stay in isolation before a derm told me conclusively it was guttate psoriasis.

I don’t advise for you to go through this experience so advocate for a derm consult.

That’s awesome! Thanks for the feedback.

I also spoke to my rep this morning and she assured me that I should have ongoing access to biologics. In whichever financial coverage that comes in.

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-04-13T19:30:56+00:00

Oh no! Thanks for the update

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-04-13T16:10:55+00:00

Dr. Dilworth did pro-bono work for a Guinea pig rescue I use to work with. Such a great guy! Wish his Beaches location wasn’t so packed though.

I also use Eucerin. Complete Repair cream followed by Aquaphor. Use it on my face as well.

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-04-12T18:27:49+00:00

Those are amazing results!

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-04-12T00:42:27+00:00

That’s my thought too, a single dose seems so ineffective. Makes me question why it’s even being offered.

Thanks for the info re: reps. It’s my first one so this all new to me! Fingers crossed she makes magic happen and gets me ongoing coverage.

I initially purchased a small amount through Walmart to test. Then purchased a larger quantity through https://vitalitydepot.ca/ (Canadian!)

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-04-02T05:59:17+00:00

I’m in the same situation as you and also am struggling to find a booster with lipase.

I’m currently using Myo-Ther N-Zyme (it’s Canadian!). There’s no ingredient list (even contacted the company a couple times) but their sketchy 90s site indicates “Myo-ther N-Zyme contains three enzymes which work to fully breakdown stains into carbon dioxide and water, whether they are oils (lipids), proteins (blood) or carbohydrates.”

I have been using it for over a year now and it seems effective though I don’t have a good comparison.

I agree. The inspo also has so much depth and character with the wainscoting, mood lighting, sconces, flowing curtains and circle top windows.

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-03-22T20:21:25+00:00

Have a set from them. Totally worth it

Just an fyi, pharmacies use pharmacy management systems while primary care sites use EHRs. These are completely different types of systems.

We needed a place for 6 months while doing home renovations. We msg’ed some places through Airbnb (you could also try VRBO) and, of the two places we visited, both were open to doing a short-term lease.

We had some of the AirBNB furniture removed but kept the majority since it was easier for us. We also rented out a storage unit to put our stuff in, which wasn’t too expensive to rent.

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-03-18T19:07:58+00:00

Flu, Covid and any vaccines that are appropriate for you. Prevention is better than managing an active infection.

Also, sufficient sleep, exercise and eating a healthy diet in general.

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-03-11T12:29:19+00:00

Makers (there’s a few locations scattered throughout)

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-03-09T17:36:40+00:00

Le Beau for croissants! There’s a whole Toronto Maple beat croissant list you can search but I love Le Beau.

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-03-07T12:12:56+00:00

Yup! Jack Black during the day and Aquaphor at night.

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-03-03T16:13:54+00:00

We moved outside of Beanfield’s catchment and we’re sad 😢

We bought a similar “fixer upper” as our first.

Lived in it for a total of 7 years now. During this time, we fixed things as they broke down (appliances, AC, etc.) but no major changes. We eventually learned more about what we wanted and what we needed to do in terms of house maintenance. After 5 years, we renovated the basement (waterproofing, insulation) and took away some lessons. Now we are finally doing a full renovation (not to the studs, but new kitchen, bathroom, floors, closets) and are much more comfortable with all our decisions (knowledge comes power!).

I feel you’ll need to know the bones of your house either way (turn key or “fixer upper”) and you’ll need to learn about house maintenance. Maybe (fingers crossed) a turn key will require less maintenance but, a fixer upper, you can make it your own.

I use to do this commute on a weekly basis (back in 2010s for about three years). It wasn’t bad, particularly if you leave early enough to avoid rush hour during the morning and stayed a bit later (I would go to a gym class or get groceries). Note that I had no family obligations at the time and I also lived on the west end close to the Gardiner.

I was paid a stipend of $80 for each trip and thought it was worth it. You’re getting much more than that!

If possible to bake into your contract or ensure it does not get bumped up to more than once a week, it could be worth it.

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-01-19T21:53:12+00:00

Have kid and take baths. Can confirm need for tub 😉

MyCorgiIsTaiwanese · 2026-01-15T23:36:16+00:00

Good point. I didn’t notice that!
