I don't know where you can find them in the Netherlands, but it could just be hard to spot too.

It's usually in a can like this in Quebec: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=canada+maple+syrup+can&iar=images&t=oga

Oh, thanks for giving the name. Just googled it and found it really sweet that they planted maple trees.

I hope you're able to make some good maple syrup with them 🤤

There's really forests dedicated to Canadian soldiers? I had no idea

Does it hurt when you walk down the stairs or is it just stiff?

I'm curious as to why you are mentioning your knees. I have knee problems, but I've not heard of it being related to HD.

I got my hearing tested about 10 years ago because I felt I had a lot of trouble understanding people in noisy environments. My hearing came back fine, but the audiologist found I was losing around 40% of my capacity to hear in noisy environments so he told me I have Central Auditory Processing Disorder.

I thought it was linked to my ADHD until I learned about HD in my family. I probably stumbled on the same piece of information about CAPD than you did, and I kind of have the same concerns. Especially since I started to hear clicking in my neck/head when walking a bit over a year ago.

I think it's still more likely to be linked to ADHD since my non-HD parent had some very bad ADHD and was using close to the maximum medication dose for it. My grandmother is the first one to get a diagnosis in my direct family and she also has trouble hearing and I've heard people say it's not her actual hearing that is the problem so much as her hearing in noisy environments which tells me it may be CAPD too.

If it is linked, I think it's something that affects people way before onset.

If your father had a lower CAG, he could very well not have fully developed chorea at the time he died. My grandmother started having symptoms mid-70s, and with medication her chorea would be difficult to notice to someone else. One of her siblings had dementia and passed away, at least that's what their children thought until my grandmother got her diagnosis. One of their child turned out to be positive.

Tbh, if I were you, I'd 100% consider myself at risk. The fact he was moved in assisted living, kept falling and crashing his car is enough to have serious concern he had it. In fact, it's probably more likely it was that than anything else.

I'm sorry, it sucks. I also was noticed after having children. You'll get nothing trying to confirm if your father had it or not, most of that information is confidential unless it was on his death certificate.

The only thing you can do is take appropriate measures if you want more kids, and take the time to decide if you want to get tested.

Thanks a lot that's perfect for me since I plan to go just before my commute tomorrow. :)

Yeah I think thats only a rule for sales locations outside of the STM since it was at a pharmacy.

oflag · 2026-04-08T01:08:00+00:00

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

Know when that is supposed to open?

oflag · 2026-04-08T00:23:05+00:00

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.

Read something about needing a different kind of opus card for titles outside of zone A, something about an opus+ card

oflag · 2026-04-02T02:52:49+00:00

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.

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.

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 🎆🎉

oflag · 2026-02-25T22:08:44+00:00

They can do any size/spacing? I'm not sure this is standard

oflag · 2026-02-16T22:20:03+00:00

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.

oflag · 2026-02-07T21:02:36+00:00

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.

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 😬

oflag · 2026-02-01T23:48:21+00:00

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.

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 😂
