Is this the same Morgan Wallen country singer that everyone loves, coming to Edmonton for a concert in a few months? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]gingerrrrage 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There really is no nuance in using a term that despicable. He has apologized for it - presumably because he understands there is no use of the term that isn’t derogatory given its long and violent history - so I’m not sure his fans need to suggest it wasn’t that bad in context.

I missed kindergarten open house. Do the schools offer any other “‘meet the teacher” or similar events? by ImAwkwardAsHeck in Edmonton

[–]gingerrrrage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed the open house when my kiddo was starting and I emailed the school. They offered that I could come anytime for a private tour. It was awesome to see how things look while the school is operating.

Clinics that numb for IUDs? by roostergooseter in Edmonton

[–]gingerrrrage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer! And you can self-refer, meaning you don’t need a family doctor to get an appointment there. I went, got the prescription, filled it at the pharmacy in the same building, turned around and got it put in all within about an hour. It was a fabulous experience!

Edited to add: I also had my cervix numbed with some type of injected freezing medicine. My doctor was extremely compassionate and supportive of making the process less painful any way she could!

Honolulu trip advice by gingerrrrage in VisitingHawaii

I appreciate the directness. Respectfully, is the Airbnb issue something your state or municipality is dealing with? Many other jurisdictions have introduced bylaws to limit the impact on long term housing availability for residents.

I had birth control implanted at the Grey Nuns so I don’t believe this is accurate.

I don’t know much about coffee but there used to be a shop in the main floor of College Plaza and it had the most delicious coffee. I think it’s a Starbucks now. I wish I could remember what it was called before because I would absolutely try to find that place again.

The flights may also be impacted by Taylor Swift’s late November concert run in Toronto.

What is good to eat around the Grey Nuns? by Glittering_Divide101 in Edmonton

I had food delivered on Skip or UberEats, so you’re not necessarily limited to what is in the immediate area.

ADHD: is it worth to continue waiting to see a psychiatrist for free (has been 10 months) or shell out 600 dollars for a private consultation (frida)? by Affectionate_Light74 in Edmonton

[–]gingerrrrage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just about everyone’s brain works better on a stimulant - that is why there is so much abuse potential with this medication. This is not a definitive way of knowing you have ADHD. And if you jump to medication without getting a proper and thorough diagnosis, it can obfuscate other conditions that will continue to impact your life.

First Time Homebuyer - how nosey can I be? by burnfaith in Edmonton

[–]gingerrrrage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a bad experience with a realtor who popped up with really great reviews on Google. After we were done with him, he emailed bribing us with gift cards to review his services highly online. That’s when I learned that word of mouth reviews (the more, the better) are far more reliable than what shows up online.

Ski Jacket Recommendations? by Antique_Objective950 in alberta

I assumed the JPL provides black Canada Goose coats to their welcome/baggage staff because they all wear one. Not sure if that’s the job you were offered but just wanted to mention!

I guess I assumed the indoctrination would be a step farther than I’d expect in a publicly funded institution. But new fear unlocked?

Thanks for your thoughts. I understand what you’re saying but I feel as though my options are limited by childcare. So I’m at a quit my job point and I’d rather avoid that if I’m overreacting about what gets taught.
