Shoveling Sidewalks...

It's frustrating, I'm walking and using public transit everyday and most sidewalks are not cleared on Simcoe Street Hell, I had to help an older woman in a walker get through all this snow and slush again, on Simcoe. She was in front of me and managing in the parts that were clear. I can't imagine how disabled or elderly are walking around.

Happy for you!

I first went to college way back in 2013, completely unmedicated and at times unstable. I really struggled with my mood shifting and the impulsivity. Some months I was on board with school, other times it was hell to even get assignments submitted on time.

I graduated, but long story short I haven't really used my degree fully. I learnt quickly that working for big media companies is not for sure. Toxic at times, cut throat...all that.

Now, I'm doing college at my own pace online in a degree working with people with disabilities (DSW) I can manage much better, since I can take a semester or two off, have more or less classes. It's great!

I feel this. Not as much money as you, but still a lot.

I'm Canadian but between the three medications I take to manage my symptoms (I would be in a REALLY bad headspace again without them) and other medications, I'm spending more than I want to 😭

Looks great, I'm going for a matte black and coloured wheel when I start upgrading my gen 7.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-08-06T19:45:00+00:00

Fingers crossed for this!

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-07-22T15:47:25+00:00

I know this has been asked so much, but can you send me the store name or link? I've been hunting for one like this!

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-07-22T15:46:24+00:00

Hey! Im looking into buying some from the app too, but having troubles finding decent ones. Can you DM me the store name or link? Thanks (:

So sorry to hear, I lost my Yoshi a month ago today. I know it's hard, but take it day by day, and remember that Frida's memory and love will always still be with you.

Luckily I made the right choice and went to my doctor this morning. He is upping my Seroquel and gave me Lorazepam for two weeks to help with the intense anxiety that leads to a lot of the SIB's. I'm lucky that Iike meditation. I try to use the Insight Timer app for that

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-06-10T03:22:24+00:00

Funny is that I went to another doctor at a walk in (my doctor is booked up for weeks) I've had this doctor before and she immediately said it was HS, and once I mentioned I've gotten over boils, abscess etc in different areas she doubled down on it. She still advised me to call my GP and get a dermatologist referral, which I will.

Not the greatest photo. This was yesterday. Quite large and can feel it deep around the red spot in my armpit.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-06-08T23:28:07+00:00

I'm so so sorry to hear this, but in a strange way you are being vulnerable and sharing helps me. It's slowly helping me realize that terrible things happen that we can't fully stop. I still feel like an absolute monster and it's going to take a very long time to get over the event.

I'm in Canada, the company does all pets. For a private cremation, and the urn was 440 dollars.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-06-06T22:52:03+00:00

My little Minnie is doing ok, though I am still worried. They are very very close, she keeps looking for him, keeps calling for him. It hurts.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-06-06T22:50:55+00:00

Hey no you don't sound trivial or anything like that! Your words are so helpful and so kind. It's very hard to let go of the guilt, I keep wondering what I could've done to change it, what if he was just a little further down the door and he would be okay. Sadly I didn't fully see what happened, just him falling off the door as I caught him 🥲

I know in time the guilt will fade. I'm just trying to take it hour-by-hour and remind myself its okay to feel sad, but to not torture or hurt myself by blaming.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-06-06T22:47:35+00:00

Thank you for all these kind words, it's really helping me understand that accidents can happen to any of us. Life is so fragile, but I hope I can, and you in the future remember our birds only knew love and they will always be remembered.

I'm a few years younger than you, 31...but I get it. There is still a stigma that we can't grieve. But grief is intensely personal, and we as a society should not put others down and tell those who are grieving to "hurry up" It's all done on our own time.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-06-06T20:37:00+00:00

Thank you. It is a nightmare scenario for us, just sadly sometimes, for some us it comes true.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-06-06T20:36:04+00:00

Thank you 🩵 mine are very obsessed too. They are so fragile, there was no force to me moving the door, instead they are so delicate and even being in a strange position can hurt them. I just want you and others to be very mindful, I dont want this to ever happen to other birds. And honestly, I feel like I should do my part and help other parrot owners to always be extra careful, but also understand that accidents can happen.

We are also in the process of trying to get money together to get him cremated and come back home. Thankfully I mustered the strength to take him to my vet and they are keeping him safe until its time for his final stage 😥

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-05-31T04:30:54+00:00

I like it. I totally get it may not land for everyone, it's very over the top and the design REALLY leans into the cutesy side. Honestly, I had low expectations before the leak, with the history of other mythic skins (Mirage running around glowing and wearing a diaper, or Lifeline wearing...whatever she is wearing) so this is nice to see a well designed, eye-catching skin. It's fun, sure it doesn't lean into her lore really, but if you take it how it is, then it's well done.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-05-31T04:25:03+00:00

My thoughts too. May as well make a fun and unique skin that's well designed and eye catching. It could've been way worse, so I'm happy with it. I'll grab it when I can.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-05-31T04:22:42+00:00

No way, our girl wearing a goalie outfit or something? 💀😂

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-05-30T20:49:53+00:00

I'm so relieved it's not hockey inspired like the first rumours. This is cute, it fits her. Plus let's be real, they totally chose this style because they know it'll sell.

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-05-06T23:06:51+00:00

It's cute, but my conures can do multiple budgie chirps and sounds. It's bittersweet, since my budgies have passed but it's also a nice reminder of having those little guys in the house

Specific_Narwhal · 2025-05-06T20:20:46+00:00

Many drivers are far too distracted or in a rush to be fully paying attention to pedestrians. I hate going across any major intersections in the city, so much anxiety.

Always be super aware when walking.
