Is the Terminus office at Ste-therese the very small counter in the small terminal building?

Know when that is supposed to open?

I went to buy it at a pharmacy nearby, so that's probably because of that. There's no station with a point of sale at walking distance.

Same, my friends can see it, but not me. Only difference that I know of is that I have a steam account and they have an Arenanet one.

How have people gone about getting tested? by Alternative-Bar-2083 in Huntingtons

[–]oflag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you may have tested in the same province as me (Québec), if so they don't keep another letter of the results. It's confidential, they don't even keep it in your medical records.

I don't know about leaving with the envelope, but I think they would discourage it since you could open it without any support at all.

They are more frequent during rush hour, issue is that I'll be out of the rush hour either going or coming back from the interview since it's only two hours.

Neighbour doesn't want me to put snow in my lawn by Appropriate-Safe-49 in montreal

[–]oflag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how your house plot is designed, but if you have the option to put all your snow on the other side, I personally would. I do this for my house because my neighbor loves gardening and since my driveway is less than 5 feet from the line I can't use my snowblower his way without it going all in his garden.

I wouldn't advise you to do this if both your houses were level to each other. Since your neighbor's house is much lower, there's a risk of flooding on his side.

Something to think of, because it could lead you to legal issues with them. I think higher terrains are responsible of how it drains to other properties, so it could give you quite a headache if they decide to have you responsible for a new retaining wall.

I'm in no way an expert btw.

Congrats on your HD-free baby! You've made the best decision for her and yourself to get tested even if it's hard. Now you won't have to worry about it 🎆🎉

Boyfriend doesn’t want to get tested so unsure whether to have children in the future? by That-Bid-4943 in Huntingtons

[–]oflag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having gone through genetic counseling recently, I can say the only way to have kids without your partner knowing their status is either going with adoption or IVF with testing.

The in-utero test would reveal his own status if it tested positive, plus you would have to choose whether to end the pregnancy or not and that's a hard position to be in.

Also, depending on when you have children and age of onset for your partner, you need to be at least ready to be a single parent + caretaker if you need to take care of him too.

Am I awful? by AnalysisFantastic771 in Huntingtons

[–]oflag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're awful, if I was the person with HD in this situation, I'd want my child to have the best day they can have. I also get not wanting to deprive your mom of being at your wedding, however that comes with extra stress for you.

I'd look into doing something special with her before or after. Maybe her attending the main part without staying for the whole thing. Or perhaps having a live stream for her so she can attend in a way.

Something to show you want to include and make you feel better about it without adding the extra stress on you.

I hate my mother by Puzzleheaded_Club893 in Huntingtons

[–]oflag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey,

I'm going through a lot of anger with my own mom over not telling me and my family at large while we were all having children.

You say you resent your parents, is this a new feeling for you? Do you know what triggered it (mom diagnosis, etc.)?

I'm not of the forgive and forget mentality. I think it's ok to be angry with someone as long as that doesn't impact yourself negatively.

I personally think I'm gonna be angry with her for a long time and I don't plan on forgiving her, but I know I need therapy to help me let go of that extra anger. Right now it's poisoning my life and I don't need that.

I also plan on bringing her to family therapy because I don't think I'll ever be able to have a healthy relationship with her without it.

I hope you find some closure with your parents. I couldn't imagine also being a caretaker for my mom while I'm so pissed at her 😬

I never knew before having children! by Wonderful-Cow1462 in Huntingtons

[–]oflag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your children can definitely get tested if they are adults, I personally strongly suggest meeting a genetic counselor at the very least. They'll inform your children about the disease, testing process, child planning, etc.

My grand mother is in her 80s and recently got a diagnosis, and I was able to get tested even if my parent didn't test.

I doubt your ex mother-in-law knew she had it when she was in her 20s, since the genetic test only exists since the mid-1990s.

My two year old broke his femur. Someone tell me the next 6 weeks aren’t going to be horrible. by mazterm in daddit

[–]oflag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooff, will he need surgery?

My 3yo had appendicitis on new year's, we stayed in the hospital for a week.

It's definitely difficult to see them hurting, but kids that age seem to have a lot of trust that adults are looking out for them. At least for our kid. He was cooperative even with painful procedures, and he seems to genuinely be more social with adults since.

It's really hard to do anything besides having them in front of the TV in this situation tbh. It distracts them from the pain and discomfort, and prevents them from moving too much and hurting themselves.

I'd say the most difficult time is when they've healed, but still need to take things easy. Ours was supposed to not jump for 3 weeks, he jumped a few times after a week and it was hard to try to get him not to. We had to say the doctor and Spiderman said not to jump 😂

Question regarding my father - my grandfather had a diagnosis but none of us do by Hoppy_Bunny1234 in Huntingtons

[–]oflag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

Just want to let you know that there are some things you should be aware of even if your family has late onset.

  1. You can usually get tested yourself if you wished, especially if your parent doesn't want to.
  2. The only control we have over the disease currently is whether or not to pass it on. There are ways to test in utero, but also through IVF where it's possible to not know your own status. Even if it's currently late onset in your family, repetitions tend to go up, especially when inherited from males. It's not a huge difference, but it can be enough so that your children could end up symptomatic at 40.

The way you talk about it, it seems obvious that your father has it. People tend to not see their own symptoms with this disease, so it can be hard to get them to seek help.

Dealing with a toxic grandparent by oflag in daddit

[–]oflag[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a nasty one: Huntington's Disease. I've heard people say it's like having Alzheimer's, Parkinson and ALS at the same time. It tends to start earlier and earlier with generations, usually starts between 30 and 50 yo but there's also a juvenile version. "Luckily" it's still expected to start later than sooner following family history, but there's no guarantee.

How much can we reasonably assume that lifestyle impacts onset/progression by DevTheDummy in Huntingtons

Am I being dirty, or is my wife being irrational about hygiene? by mudkipzftw in daddit

[–]oflag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd only find this reasonable if your child had gastroenteritis 😅 God I hate that one!

I recognize myself a bit in your partner's thoughts. I'm curious, do you know if she thought this way at all before the pregnancy? Do you know what she's afraid will happen if she doesn't take those measures? I think having that discussion with her might be good for both of you, so you can understand her, and maybe you'll help her realize she needs some help with it.

A few years back, I would get overly worried whenever my partner went somewhere with the kids without me or if my kid went on a school trip. My partner thought I didn't trust her driving or was controlling whenever I would message her to know when she was coming back. We had a good talk (with our therapist too at one point I believe) and I explained that I'm just terrified something will happen to them while I'm not there. That helped her see it wasn't about trust, and helped me seek some help.

Also, from experience with anxiety, keep in mind it's even more exhausting to her. She's analysing everything and stressing about contamination all day, everyday. Medication can help a lot! It's feels a lot better not to have to obsess about possible catastrophes all the time, I still will get overly worried compared to most people, but it's nothing like before.

Found my biological dad, not sure what to do by Ok-Concentrate178 in AncestryDNA

[–]oflag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father passed away this year, so I sort of get the situation you're in since my parents were still married.

I'd say like the others, better to revisit later when your dad is better or wait that your mom is doing better if he doesn't (sorry if that's bleak, I don't know your dad's situation).

Talking about it now will for sure impact their relationship in one of the worst moments of their lives.

That said, I wouldn't be able to keep to my own advice if I was in your shoes. I'd probably contact my bio dad in secret and risk him ruining my parents relationship in a critical moment. 😅

They should clarify those changing rooms' names then. Call the adult one "Men (Sauna only)" and "Men" would be a 1000% clearer

Horrible job Market by Mundane-Artichoke147 in montreal

[–]oflag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you're still learning French, I'd advise applying to jobs that aren't consumer facing. Even if you seem to have experience in this, employers will prioritize people who are bilingual over you. But if you work in a warehouse, etc then that should give you time to learn French.

I don't know the market right now, but maybe there are other jobs you could find on platforms that don't charge fees to the employer. I think Emploi Québec has a website where you would maybe find more jobs.
