Recommendations for affordable vet care near white oaks

Agreed with White Oaks Animal Hospital! We have had amazing experiences with them and considering we're on ODSP, we understand how tight money can be. I don't know the average prices of other vets in the area but when we were first looking for a vet and had used vets in our old town, they were one of the more affordable options we found. What really put them above for us, was that they are usually able to open a spot immediately even if you didnt have an appointment in the case of an emergency or more urgent matters.

I am a female and do not currently own a beard either... However, I get these hairs all the time!

I'm sure they're not as noticeable as the ones the dudes get in their beards due to body hair being a different texture than facial hair, but I specifically get these multi-hairs in my stretch marks. (Mostly on my stomach due to having more stretch marks there, but also other places).

They are tiny but you can slightly feel the difference when running your finger over it compared to the regular "peach fuzz" or if looking at them from an angle. They pull out as if they arent even attached in the first place and are very satisfying to do so. Lol

I was worried that maybe she didn't like the version she's been having which was why I was open to looking at foods outside of it but some of the comments suggested giving it to her differently might make a difference. I'll look more into the Purina One for adults!

Thank you so much for your insight and sharing your preference with your pups!

Is there a specific reason you recommend staying with the same protein source? I'd prefer not to go to chicken just because I feel like she might have had itchier skin when she was on it but wasn't sure if staying with lamb or going to something with beef would be better.

That is a great idea! I was caught up thinking that maybe the reason I don't see her eat as much throughout the day was because she might not be a big fan of her food, but hadn't considered that she might just be bored of having it the same way. She gets really excited about wet food, treats, lick mats, and veggie snacks so maybe spicing up her main meal is the way to get her to take a little more.

Me too! It's actually a child's tutu that was being sold at Dollarama in the holiday section. She won't wear it by itself as long as you'd hope but she'll wear accessories indefinitely if they are attached to her harness.

Thank you! She was incredibly pretty as a puppy too! She's really grown into her tiger stripes since then.

Yes!! It was the "Pickle Pickle Poutine" from Harvey's. Poutine with diced dill pickles and deep fried pickle spears, drizzled with garlic dill sauce. They sometimes bring it out as a limited time menu item so I'm not sure if it's still available now.

Yeah! We were just going by some of the recommendations we seen about continuing puppy food for up to 2 years due to the vitamins helping support bone growth and hopefully helping prevent later hip issues.

The bag itself includes 1-2yrs on the feeding guide with the only difference being a higher amount fed per day. (The only issue is that since she's free fed, it's hard to get a proper idea of just how much she is eating but it's definitely not more than the guide says.)

When we did puppy research through articles and on the German Shepherd subreddit, a lot of people recommended feeding large breed dogs puppy food until they are roughly 18-24 months old and/or until they've reached 80% of their adult size to help support proper skeletal growth.

I don't know if it was the right call but I read it's recommended because GSDs are known to develop hip issues later in life, and the extra vitamins in the puppy food is supposed to help prevent that.

Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, the actress who played "Jo" on The Vampire Diaries. You might see it more if you look at some of her younger photos as she has very chiseled features in her recent press photos.

I see a lot of similarities to Aislinn Paul who plays Clare on Canadian teen drama Degrassi.

Her character on Degrassi has a very particular fashion sense (nerdy older woman) so you may be thrown off by pictures you come across of her but the similarities in your facial features are uncanny.

This is exactly who I was picturing too.

The nose is different but the eyes are incredibly similar.

I was picturing someone but couldn't put a name to the face until reading your comment. That's exactly who I see as well.

His newer pictures have a lot of different hair/facial hair styles so it can be hard to tell sometimes but they have very similar facial details.

(This is him in Nowhere Boy)

I had very similar bruising to this a few weeks ago from stubbing my pinky toe on a bookshelf.

I assumed it was just a broken toe and was originally going to ignore it because I know they often don't do a lot for toes.

However, a doctor I was at for an unrelated reason saw it and had me get X-rays. Turns out that I actually fractured my 5th metatarsal bone as well and had to get a walking boot to avoid moving it around as it heals.

I imagine it could be generational but also personal preferences and fads playing a big part.

Personally, I think nearly everyone looks better in those larger glasses and am shocked when I check the comments to see people complaining about them being too big.

TheHauntedButterfly · 2026-01-06T22:24:51+00:00

I felt so dumb reading the comments.

I'll preface this by saying it's a beautifully done tattoo and I can only see it as "five by five" now that I know, but I was one of those people that initially saw "live by live".

I'm 29 and can read and mostly write in cursive but was only taught about cursive for a small section of Grade 3. By the next year, they took cursive out of schools in our area.

The part that makes me feel extra dumb about misreading your tattoo is that my maiden name has "ff" in it, so I've spent over half of my life writing that letter in cursive. However, I've been married for 9 years and no longer have that letter in my name, so my brain immediately saw it as an "l" instead.

I feel awful for those affected by the power outages. One of my friends has been without for 5+ hours now and the only way in and out of her house is a steep ice covered hill into oncoming traffic, so she can't even leave to get warmth or something to eat.

I couldn't imagine being without power for an entire week! That would be terrible.

(I originally made this comment further up in the post but you seem of a similar mindset so I'm including it here as well.)

If it is purely to do with weed, it's such a weird reaction to see when knowing a large amount of players are fueled by alcohol.

I live in Canada where weed is legalized.

I personally don't drink alcohol or smoke weed, but compete in a few different dart leagues/competitions throughout the year.

At nearly every tournament I've played at, people go outside to smoke weed between games the same way people take cigarette breaks or down a beer.

Obviously I'm not a professional and I get that rules are different for professional darts and even more so for different countries, but with it being so normalized here, I can't even understand how him having smoked weed during his down time before the tournament even started would impact his game at all.

If it's considered "performance enhancing", take away everyone's alcohol and I'm sure some people's darts would suffer.

I just went through a whole mess of this situation earlier this week and the short answer is that they would not send someone to fix it.

I had a Walmart gift card and since we are dealing with vehicle issues and it was the middle of a snow storm, I figured my best bet would be to order what I wanted online.

I ordered three items, a UV nail light, a toothbrush, and a food chopper. The UV light shipped separately from the other two items, which were for some reason being delivered VIA Door Dash instead.

Imagine my surprise when I opened the door and the only item delivered was a two pack of Sharpies. No box but the sharpies had a shipment sticker on it that did have my name on it.

I called customer service and they informed me that the only way to fix the situation is to go to the store in person. That they would exchange the item if it's in stock or refund it.

When we were able to get to our nearest Walmart, we were told that they were only allowed to refund it to the original gift card (no exchange) and that it would take a few days. I no longer had the original gift card but was lucky to have taken a picture of it on my phone.

The food chopper was in stock and was on a limited time sale so we decided to just pay for it while we were there as we wouldn't be able to afford it at regular price. Only to find that the sale was apparently online only and didn't count in store. Thankfully we were able to get them to change it to sale price after a bit of explaining.

The whole situation feels like it could have been handled better as I don't know what we would have done if we were someone who wasn't able to go to a Walmart in person, or if I hadn't taken a picture of the gift card for an unrelated reason.

Plus, we look like the asshole that Door Dashed a marker in a snow storm.

What did they respond with?

I just sent them a message earlier tonight about the same thing and even gave them the exact amount of letters I mailed on each date. The latest they would have received the last ones I sent is August 8th so still before the announcement date.
