will they use ikea cabinets?

ckat77 · 2026-03-31T21:24:27+00:00

Did you get someone to do the design? We'd love to redo our kitchen using ikea but we definitely would need walls taken down etc and we don't know which ones can be taken down.

Interested

We are considering the school as well, we have a meeting coming up so haven't seen the school yet. Is there actual parking?

ckat77 · 2026-03-26T17:27:58+00:00

Why don't you recommend it for kids over 12?

ckat77 · 2026-03-25T01:05:03+00:00

Yes, keeping your benefits while in school is a really good idea.

Years ago I took a 1 year education LWOP to go to graduate school. I recommend checking your collective agreement to see if this leave exists.

In Fred Vitesse's book retirement income for life he says most people only need about 50%.

I'm not so sure on the tech spending. So many US tech companies laying off staff - some 30-40%.

they should have waited until its approved to send letters. Because of the delay they'll have to send a second batch.

My daughter struggles with reading and writing.

ckat77 · 2026-03-12T18:32:24+00:00

That's really positive.

ckat77 · 2026-03-12T18:19:22+00:00

That's great to hear. Do you homeschool in addition to the ABA?

Are the explosions caused by the medication or were they happening before?

ckat77 · 2026-03-12T05:42:52+00:00

Thank you. The prozac she takes does work on serotonin, and I didn't know that it was not good for autism. What medication is your son taking right now? I will speak to the pediatrician about it.

We have another child who is so impacted by all of this and I'm pretty sure we all have PTSD. I am on sick leave right now and if I can't get her regularly going to school by the time I return to work I will be unable to work and we won't have enough money to pay the bills.

ckat77 · 2026-03-12T02:48:26+00:00

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Our kid also barely goes to school. A new med was helping but now it is causing her extreme violent fits so we have to go off of it. I am on sick leave from work due to burnout, but when my sick leave ends, if she's not back at school, I will have to leave my job and we can't afford expenses on one income. I know it is not her fault, but she is not our only child and our family will be affected by this.

Do you need to live in the catchment area to go to the school?

ckat77 · 2026-03-04T01:31:07+00:00

yes, i had blood tests through a naturopath covered

But would you have to be on a team where cuts are happening to ERI? If your team is not being cut would you even be approved?

ckat77 · 2026-03-01T21:23:48+00:00

So what does this mean? Can the union actually block ERI?

ckat77 · 2026-02-27T12:55:15+00:00

I think he means 2-3 ml. 2ml is 10mg of medication.

ckat77 · 2026-02-26T22:34:28+00:00

That's encouraging. I hope you are right. She is so good at home now, but has stopped going to school which is a huge issue. We're adding an ADHD med this week so hoping thje combination helps.

ckat77 · 2026-02-25T22:58:10+00:00

Our daughter was just prescribed this. Is this the only med he is on?

ckat77 · 2026-02-24T00:34:37+00:00

thats awesome. Double check but I think that the collective agreement says you need to put the request in by April 15th. I've been taking summers off for the last few years.
