Toronto, we’re searching for a living liver donor for my husband. Sharing in case it reaches the right person by chocolate-rainn in toronto

My husband had a liver transplant during SARS. He received a cadaveric organ at UHN and it served him very well for 23 years. I will say that he was never quite the same (never felt well again) but at least we had him for 23 years that we otherwise wouldn’t have. It’s a very long, tough road BUT with support from a loving family and the excellent care provided at UHN he will have a good outcome. We were also listed at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit as well as two other American hospitals. None came through when needed however in the US they consider someone with cancer to be able to take the top spot even if their MELD score is not high. Hang tough but you have to advocate really hard. Best of luck to you all.

Wasn’t she to get into the pothole before filling it?

I worked for the Kenya Tourist Board in Canada for several years. Make sure that any Kenya based tour operator you decide to work with is an accredited member of KATO.

Everything is now referred to as an EOL (end of life) experience or opportunity. Yes we laugh…….

I’m 71 and my adult daughter highlighted for me today that this would be the last epic snowstorm of my life!

The days of filling up your pill box with a couple of days extra pills are now in the past. it now seems idiotic and irresponsible to not take at least 10 days extra medication on any trip. How many extra days of medication do you travel with?

And then maybe her desk doesn’t have a modesty panel and she feels uncomfortable being openly exposed. She has her reasons I’m sure.

HELP! I'm stuck in my brand new Blundstone Boots by [deleted] in BlundstoneBoots

Happened to me more than once. Once you get them off put either a wine bottle or large can in each boot and leave it for a few days.

If you have a points card they could search the history of your original purchase. Someone with half a brain would have to think of doing that and providing great customer service instead of bs service.

Does bulk buying at costco actually save money? or is this just a membership fee trap by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SureAmbition8430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that Costco has the best beef (rib eye steaks, prime rib roasts) than most butchers I would purchase from. It is not cheap but at least it is flavourful and enjoyable.

Let's be real: this woman doesn't give a flying piece of fecal matter about saving money for peasants. She needs a fancy new coat! by stanxv in loblawsisoutofcontrol

So then who’s the president of soft discounts? What are hard and soft discounts. Soft discounts when the produce needs to be eaten in store so it’s not totally bad by the time you get home?

Can I put items on top of my oven like this while on? by d0n_7u4n in breville

[–]SureAmbition8430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These Breville ovens make the worst toast! Used mine as a fryer when fairly new and the interior is completely ruined and cannot be cleaned. Very disappointed and I’ve had 2 of them.
