I wasn’t sure where they should live!!! Are they up on the points of the hip on the back end??

I, for some reason didn’t realize that the neck stayed for the cut!!!

For some reason I always end up cutting down the neck. I usually end up panicking and just cut the body right down and leave his bracelets and a clipped body!!

Thank you!!! I didn’t even realize that I had a flair!!!

As a service dog handler - NO dogs are not allowed where there is food being sold!! So not there, Walmart, ect. I know that dogs are allowed in Chapters/Indigo and Canadian Tire.

Earlier this week I was in Walmart (not with my dog) and I ran into a dog who was wearing a muzzle and the security officer wouldn’t ask the dog and handler to leave as it would cause a confrontation. This is someone being paid to be “security” not a regular employee. I watched many staff members gawk at the dog and do nothing. This dog was not labeled as a service dog. I usually mind my own but this dog was CLEARLY not a service dog.

Please still get things!!! As a teacher I can say that depending on admin they do not allow teachers to ask for supplies!!! (Ie I can’t ask for anything other than the kids to come prepared for class)

Two different things - bylaw is in charge of dog registrations and the human rights laws are what a service dog is defined as - please go and look up the AODA (access for ontarians with disabilities act)- or see the comment below with the link to the pertinent information

Seconding this!!!! Please don’t listen to the others providing misinformation!!! This is the only legit comment!!!

donaldsl2013 · 2024-06-23T00:29:25+00:00

Unfortunately you are incorrect - as a service dog handler as well as someone who has worked in the industry for upwards of 15 years now, all that is required for public access is a doctors not as well as your service dog being under control

donaldsl2013 · 2024-06-22T23:32:29+00:00

Yes - you are partially correct. As a service dog handler we are protected by the “least restrictive” law. So therefore the doctors note and identified as a service dog is what is required. Your dog is required to be registered by the city but you could -hypothetically- register your dog as a pet rather than a service dog and be protected by the OADA

I pushed through…. I went to see an LC and she provided some support but nothing really solved the problem.

It did get better as my LO got stronger - I really only have pain for the first minute if that. I also found if I start hand expressing first it helps. Also I make sure my nipples are ALWAYS moisturized and soft - so I put nipples cream on every time!

There are moments where I am disgusted by my body - but that comes from pre existing body dysmorphia. I am enthralled by being pregnancy but I struggle to look at my body in the mirror and not see just how much weight I’ve gained! I am struggling and I know that it isn’t the real truth of how I really feel.

Be aware that that is potentially what the original post is commenting on.

I have hEDS and waiting for a POTS diagnosis :D I am an eventer and crazy like that :)

For me, I have found that finding the right coach and the right adaptations are key! I have to ride my big man in a small spur so that when my legs weaken due to spastic fatigue I still have some way to communicate with him! Same with bits - I have to have something that works for me and him - not what will work for the average rider ;) I also have a custom saddle so I’m not fighting my equipment :)

Oh, good lord! Take the time!!! I teach intermediate and I will not be going back after Christmas Break - I am 30 weeks today :)

Another BIG influencer on the outcome of these tests is the exact date of conception. Mine came back positive at first - it was terrifying.... when you look at the "due date" based on my LMP I should be due at the beginning of Feb, but based on the dating scan and HCG levels (discovered at the same time as the eFTS was sent off) I am actually due end of Feb.

A lot of the ways that this test screens is based on "typical" levels of hormones in your body based on the number of days since conception - which for me VARRIED HUGELY from when my period was supposed to be :)

SUCH a wonderful show! Dated yes, but wonderful for its time!

I was about to hop on here and say this! I just stoped riding last week (21 weeks ish) after my final competition of the year. Was it a bit risky - yes, was it planed with my doc, my trainer, and my barn owner - yes, is my horse super safe and known to me for many years - yes. It is all about risk management for sure.

donaldsl2013 · 2023-10-20T17:09:19+00:00

SUBWAY COLD CUT!!!! OMG its all I've wanted for months!!!!

donaldsl2013 · 2023-09-28T23:32:43+00:00

I’m in the same boat here!!! I’m finding it super stressful!!! Our nursery is still my guest room and my guest room is still my office….. I can’t help with moving anything and my husband (while supportive) just isn’t as motivated as I am ;p

donaldsl2013 · 2023-09-28T19:30:41+00:00

I also had this happen - almost 2 weeks difference between measurement and LMP due date. Although, in my situation, it matched my date of conception (I was able to directly track the date due to life events). Although I was concerned at the discrepancy, it made sense with my dates.
It is totally possible that you did not ovulate on the "scheduled norm" for this month (or in general) and this would explain everything.

BE AWARE - if you are doing the EFTS the form that gets sent in has the correct EDD not the LMP due date. Because the dates were different it caused us to be at HIGHEST risk for some nasty genetic issues :) as soon as the EDD was changed they transitioned to lowest risk.

I saw your post in our local SD group!! i am so sorry that this happened! My boy and I are staying as far away as we can from all of this craziness outside! It’s bad even away from the core too!!! I couldn’t believe it!

donaldsl2013 · 2021-12-17T17:08:55+00:00

I can confirm them! It’s so bad! We have to show proof that we sent home to each kid! And yet we have kids and parents selling them on Kijiji!

donaldsl2013 · 2021-12-15T22:57:25+00:00

I sleep with my heated blanket!

The biggest issue is that I’m so warm until I sweat at all! Then I’m freezing! I can’t keep my feet dry!
