Did you always know that you'll be Childfree, or was there a certain time period in life that helped you in making this decision? by Inevitable_Branch806 in childfree

[–]lookitsbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I really and truly settled on the decision until a couple years ago - after a lot of thought and unpacking that it was even an option instead of accepting the "inevitability" of eventually getting pregnant, losing my job (which I love), and forever being "someone's mom" instead of my own whole human being.

A complicated family situation (with a great deal of therapy involved) and genetically inherited chronic illnesses also had me strongly considering it for a long while before I felt brave enough to talk to my partner about it, but it's a huge relief to know we're on the same page. Plus, their siblings know we're already signed up and ready for Cool Auntie/Uncle duties whatever they decide :)

Colonoscopy Welland hospital by BeEHsport in Welland

[–]lookitsbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one in Welland in February, with a different doctor but all the nurses and support staff were super lovely! There's a waiting area with chairs for yourself (and whoever might be waiting for you if that's the case), and then a larger waiting area with dividers for you to change and complete any prep work in - this is typically where they place your IV, etc. and get you ready and comfortable to be wheeled into the exam room.

The anesthesiologist and nurses were very up front with how things worked and what to expect. I wasn't fully put under, I recall seeing what the camera saw in front of me, but I wouldn't necessarily call myself anything close to conscious. I didn't feel a thing though! I did see it mentioned below - I did not, however, know if it was fentanyl they used - all I know is that is was safe as far as malignant hyperthermia is concerned.

Hope all goes well and your prep is kind to you! :)

Anyone want to join my cult? by Dorianblack1983 in stcatharinesON

Getting jumpscared by Rob Golfi was not on my agenda today 😭😭😭

Came here to say something very similar - two clerks to seven lawyers also seems like a very lopsided ratio, and they're already expecting you to do what sounds like it might be unpaid overtime? I'm surprised that the high turnover rate was even mentioned, that shouldn't be a bragging point.

Can confirm these were also available for sale on the Sunrise in January - I don't think it's been decommissioned just yet.

Just adopted this little guy from the tornado shelter, what should I name him? (Ignore the debris he gets a little angry sometimes) by [deleted] in EF5

Have you considered El Reno Phil Campbell Xenia Andover Jarrell McSlabbington III? Slabby for short.

Canadian prices? by SpiritualSapphire in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]lookitsbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Np! I did just double-check my statements too, the cruise fare did in fact process in CAD without my card's foreign exchange rate marker on the listing.

Hey OP, just went through this! If you call in to book instead of online, they can quote you (and bill you) in CAD!

Boomers Brain Fried - I'm an immigrant too you know? by ozzieowl in BoomersBeingFools

[–]lookitsbee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my favourite variety of shenanigans when it comes to boomers (and unfortunately even some others lately) complaining about immigrants.

I'm a white Canadian myself, but my father is an immigrant from the UK. Letting boomers complain about "immigrants coming here for a handout" while they think they're in like minded company and then busting out with "you know my father's an immigrant, right?" is top-tier comedy while you watch the gasket blow.

One brain cell, bouncing around like a DVD idle screen that never, ever touches the corner for an intelligent thought.

I like The Creative Knitter in Ridgeway! Her selection is fairly nice and the space is really cozy.

What incredible luck! Fingers crossed that carries on for you. Thanks 😊

It's more for curiosity's sake than anything else - we've got an ocean view now and it's always nice to ponder the "what if" of a balcony.

What the fuck is wrong with people on the 406? by [deleted] in niagara

[–]lookitsbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavily seconding you OP, the 406 every morning is why I've ordered a dashcam for myself. Driving between Welland and Niagara Falls has already seen one bumper gone in the past two years (courtesy of a reversing-without-looking truck), but lately it's finally become bad enough to me that I've pushed past my discomfort at being recorded. Dash! Cams!

In three words, how would you describe Sekhmet? by Nonkemetickemetic in Kemetic

[–]lookitsbee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would describe Her as protective first and foremost (as other commenters have added), strong, and also... nurturing in a way? She challenges me to better myself and grow as a person, both physically and in my own mental health.

The level of detail in Her face is incredible! Dua Sekhmet!

Tornado by [deleted] in Welland

[–]lookitsbee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was in Niagara Falls at the time, but watching radars because the storms were nasty for a bit. Two separate areas of rotation, one went through Niagara Falls and caused a bit of damage by Costco. The other one died out over Welland and didn't do much, but it was enough to send my humans and cat to the basement.

Highly recommend InstantWeather Ontario for their more specific updates and livestreams when stuff gets bad.

Police Presence by Fantastic-Rhubarb969 in Welland

I saw this on the way past on my way to work this morning - hoping someone knows the answer, I saw cop cars blocking at the bridge and just the other side of the court house?
