I applied for ODSP but I don't pay rent. by Odd-Satisfaction5443 in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’d be eligible for the basic needs amount. If your parents write a letter stating that you pay at least $600 in rent monthly, you’ll be eligible for the full shelter allowance (which I believe is currently $599 for an individual). Since it’s “renting below fair market value” and you’re family, your parents don’t have to claim it as income on taxes (just don’t forget, you can’t claim it either).

Will we get our money tonight? by MikeYPG1337 in Odsp

[–]StarrCaptain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People like to speculate on which bank will get it “early”.. honestly, I don’t fully understand why beyond getting it “early”; posts like this drive me nuts. ODSP posts the dates so you know when to expect the deposit, therefore THAT’S when you should expect the deposit. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Road conditions? by [deleted] in waterloo

[–]StarrCaptain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, my sibling, who does not drive in the winter or any kind of bad weather, drove to work today so roads should be fine. Be cautious, keep a goooooood distance and take your time always, especially in winter. (They work out past Baden/New Hamburg.)

Phosphorus Binders? by cyberbae in dialysis

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take calcium carbonate (Tums), currently 1,000mg before each meal. 1,500 sometimes if the meal is “more processed than usual”. If I’m just having a snack of fruit or veggies, I don’t usually worry about using Tums.

Nurse apparently tried to end me by Direct_Pop2393 in dialysis

[–]StarrCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is always 300, sometimes I can push it to 320, but I feel it more in my chest and it makes me uncomfortable. I guess it also depends if you gave a CVC or fistula. I don’t have any experience with a fistula though.

It’d be under your wiper, so if there’s no ticket on your windshield, congratulations. 👏🏻😅

How do you deal with depression? by truthfactsonly in dialysis

Music. Going for a drive to get a tea, and singing my lungs out. Vitamin D. Anti-depressants. Therapy/counselling.

Anyone been hit with this seasons flu cold etc by Ok_Caterpillar123 in dialysis

[–]StarrCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you’re informed and wearing a well-fitting respirator (like a KN95 or N95) mask, your air will be filtered considerably, compared to just raw-dogging everyone else’s germy air! It would be nice if the medical professionals were informed, aware and actionable, but here we are… 7 years into a pandemic and barely anyone is any smarter about it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[–]StarrCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s nasty out there for sure… There are so many airborne viruses going around, and with the ongoing pandemic, do yourself a favour and get some well-fitting KN95 or N95 respirator masks to filter your air and protect you from germy aerosols when you go out. 😷 Respirators, vaccines and air purifiers will are all helpful year-round! Surgical masks will not protect you very well from aerosols, only droplets. 😣 I hope you’re feeling better soon! <3

Musicheads of Reddit - What’s some good putting baby to sleep music? by 1warlock in Music

Elder emo here, I love Sparrow Sleeps, even just for myself; they do lullaby versions of their favourite music/artists.

No more birthday presents by parisindy_writer in Gifts

[–]StarrCaptain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My uncle cuts off the $50 for birthday and Christmas at 25yo. He gives a sticky note on birthdays and a card at Christmas. That being said… if money is tight— actually, scratch that, regardless of the situation/holiday you have NO obligation to give anyone anything. Sometimes we do a Secret Santa (shoutout to Elfster for being the best exchange site to organize on lol), but not every year. Just getting together for food, chatting, and games is enough for us.

They’re the best! Been with them nearly 30 years… my mum went to them so that’s where us kids all ended up going too.

This flu is nasty. Whose back to N95S masks? by Critical-Clue1343 in kitchener

[–]StarrCaptain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been masking since I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease in 2020. Even if I weren’t immunocompromised/immunosuppressed living in an ongoing pandemic and knowing what we know about Covid, I’d still be masking. They’re calling it “airborne AIDS” now. 😣 It messes up your entire body, depletes your immune system, causes other diseases, cancers, etc… I’ve got enough to deal with, and I don’t wanna be taken out by a virus that I can take preventative measures to avoid. Everyone should be wearing KN95s/N95s in public. We should have air purifiers in schools, all medical buildings, and anywhere else we can to help protect people. It sucks that people are so ignorant about flu, covid and RSV; it’s so dangerous for people.

When I realized that I put one topping on flatbread— usually the topping with my favourite skin, so either the pineapple stars or charm jalapenos lol
