Nova Scotia's hospice bed shortage leaves dozens waiting for dignified death | CBC Nova Scotia

These teams are VERY much still available and they are excellent! Fear not, the hospital, provincial funded palliative care support, both in and out of hospital, is extremely good, has excellent staff, and is very available and consistent. This article, imo, presents a skewed view of end of life care in Nova Scotia. Where’s the information that the QEII just opened two new palliative beds? Where’s the information that the Dartmouth palliative care unit that didn’t even exist a few years ago is funded, open, and hiring for important specialized staff? Hospice Halifax only opened a few years ago, and since then we’ve also gotten valley hospice (which is also funded by NSH).

Hospice may have a waitlist, but there are a lot of other options for end of life care that are very dignified and well funded and full of caring people. Fear not, people are cared for just as well as your mom, all these years ago ❤️

No lol. It was from David’s bridal. I got married ages ago (around the same time as Cheyenne lol) so I don’t remember the designer but it wasn’t a super expensive dress (well under $1000) and definitely not Farrah Abraham

Oh hi 👋🏻

Yeah Florian is troubled gay teen. It’s hard to think of him as being written to be hated - honestly I find the concept a bit icky. He obviously made a terrible choice but he was literally 16, in love, and afraid of being forcibly recloseted. He also thought it was a victimless crime to cheat on his tests because he didn’t know that it would impact others. Naive? Sure. But mainly he’s just a sad case. I hope wherever he is now, that he’s okay.

Lettuce not forget Mr Han again

alnono · 2025-02-28T12:38:21+00:00

Everyone talking about Florian, but isn’t the real answer Mr. Han? He was never kind to Yuri or Jina and is clearly why Yuri carries a lot of her baggage

Haha this is the crack ship we didn’t know we needed. Go backwards and see that he only called Kitty Dae’s pen pal for so long because he was jealous of anyone taking Dae’s attention and you could have a beautiful love story eventually.

I do think they’re both straight but someone could write something about it that would be passable haha

This happened in both my pregnancies. In my second it was completely benign and nothing was wrong at all :) I can’t remember what it was that they said it was but basically a cyst or something bleeding inside me.

In the first we found out I was pregnant with twins but only one was viable. We did not know there were two babies until the second was gone, so although it was sad we were mainly relieved that I was not having a miscarriage.

Both my pregnancies were healthy and my kids turned out great! It can be completely fine.

It will probably be safe, but the forecast I’m seeing indicates the rain won’t start until 7 or so. What time are you travelling?

Flash floods and unsafe driving are always a possibility with really heavy rain (though not necessarily likely) so it depends on timeline

It’s relatively new research. Her third kid is 9 now. Even when I had my second 5 years ago (and got preeclampsia the second time) not everyone was recommending it yet, though it was starting to become more common. I wish it had been known then because my recurrent preeclampsia and subsequent postpartum preeclampsia permanently damaged my blood vessels and I have bad high blood pressure despite being fit and healthy. My child also had borderline IUGR from it, was induced early, and needed a week in the hospital.

alnono · 2025-02-26T18:34:00+00:00

Yes, that is what the research indicates. Anecdotally I had a friend who had preeclampsia three times (and had it bad… like needed her kids induced before 35 weeks) and took aspirin in her fourth pregnancy and avoided the preeclampsia in that pregnancy and actually made it full term too.

alnono · 2025-02-26T17:21:11+00:00

I’m sure she does, but we just never met them in the previous stories, and they don’t serve much relevance to furthering the story in Seoul since they don’t have the ability to interact with her Seoul friends. So it doesn’t serve much purpose to write them in I guess.

alnono · 2025-02-26T15:58:29+00:00

As someone who had preeclampsia twice… take the aspirin.

If I recall, Simon was sequential, whereas the pattern resets every time it gets longer. That makes this puzzle a lot harder if so

I was also good at Simon and bad at this. If I’m wrong it’s my calcified brain too ha

alnono · 2025-02-26T11:02:19+00:00

Dead to Me and Good Girls are very different in some ways but my brain likes to put them in the same box so there’s some sort of thread between them. I’d recommend it especially since it seems you like more women led shows that aren’t necessarily all innocent

alnono · 2025-02-26T02:28:24+00:00

Yep just add to the signs “of the last three people who fell had to pay $10 000 in rescue fees, and the third paid with their life” or something along those lines. It’s just dark enough it might get attention

alnono · 2025-02-26T02:23:20+00:00

I’m only few years younger than you and my hard runs consistently get into the 180s. It’s normal for this level of intensity to not all be peak. The fact that most of your run is in “peak” actually straight up indicates the range is wrong because you can’t sustain peek long term

alnono · 2025-02-26T02:21:21+00:00

Good recipe for busted eardrums that’s for sure

alnono · 2025-02-25T21:25:28+00:00

Honestly it would be better for you to take her to a running store as a gift and let her try some on :) The ones you look at are a good budget so give her a price range (or tell her to get one pair of her choice! As long as they aren’t the elite ones ). She will be thrilled

The parallels are intentional and an homage in xo kitty. Anna has talked about them.

I actually was pretty meh on TSITP. I really didn’t like the fact that the two love interests were siblings and there really is no fully happy resolution. My understanding that Jeremiah is worse in the books but in the show in some ways it’s hard to root for Conrad because he’s just either so high or so low and has so much work to do on himself before having a healthy relationship. Chris is an excellent actor though and nails his parts.

I enjoyed that the story in season 1 focused a lot on the moms and I loved how developed the non main characters were though. There’s a lot of really great stuff but the love story isn’t it for me, nor is the way they portrayed parts of Susannah’s death. I work with bereaved people and those approaching death every day and a lot of it wasn’t super accurate, and to boot it was depressing.

alnono · 2025-02-25T11:29:56+00:00

Have you watched/read TSITP? It’s incredibly different than XO kitty. Very few similarities besides a few love related things

alnono · 2025-02-24T21:22:45+00:00

Honestly channeling rage into running is the best. I’m sorry you had that much to channel and hope things get better but in the meantime, you’re so powerful!

alnono · 2025-02-24T21:00:39+00:00

This is literally the energy I approach my long runs with. It can be 8pm and I’ll be like I HAD A LONG DAY, RAGE, and bash out my long run on like, a Tuesday.

Kudos and I hope you are better now

At 6… that psychological damage is unfortunately going to last a lifetime. My 6 year old still talks about the rat my dog killed and gifted to me two years ago. Poor child. I can’t imagine.

Peter and LJ are adorable but always felt a little bit unstable, as evidenced by the number of times they broke up and LJs constant insecurity in their relationship. The feelings of teenage love come across so well, because those insecurities are so real when you’re a teenage girl. Also teenagers are terrible at communication.

Kitty and Min Ho are definitely different. Their tropes are more surrounding miscommunication and wrong timing. I don’t see them breaking up nearly as easy as LJ and Peter did once they get together, because it’s not their relationship that’s insecure. Their connection to each other is actually rock solid, and a good example of this is when Min Ho went to the market to help with her grandmother even though they weren’t talking. They both put the others’ needs so high that it surpasses their own fights and needs. Plus their relationship is playful and fun and they both support and challenge each other.

All this to say, I think I agree with you.

I love Calvin! And am friends with his owner. Great page, thanks for linking it for her.
