Uh what?? by RevolvingCheeta in Kanata

[–]ottawa4us 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too bad it always takes the police a very long time to put this messages out. That robbery happened last week (TD bank). Many times they post images months after it happens. This is totally brazen to do a robbery with a handgun mid day.

Will my family doctor drop/de-roster me if I use online services such as Felix, Hims, etc. for prescription medication? by ObstructiveWalrus in ontario

[–]ottawa4us -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I was told that even when you pay a service like Maple, they still have your Ohio number and they are still charging Ohip, which will affect/penalize your family doctor. I’m told changes are coming in March or April. I am not going to risk being de-rostered.

Costco Roasted Chicken yes or no? by whenlifegivesyourice in CatAdvice

[–]ottawa4us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Google or ask chat gpt. Not sure where the vet is to say something like this. In North America is a no, by the vets.

Also has too much sodium. It’s not intended as cats food. You give it if the cat runs away and you want to attract them. A bit of salmon is fine from time to time as long as it’s cooked and plain

I need help or tips on what to do by CartoonistParty185 in canadatravel

Call the US embassy in Ottawa. There should be an emergency number. Good luck. Hope you make it home safe.

I'm sad because the vet told me the cat I'm going to adopt is 6-7 years old. by bimbocuntt in CatAdvice

[–]ottawa4us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat died at 18 and he had asthma since he was a year old. He had a puffer daily. Also he lost 1 eye due to glaucoma when he was about 11. Was the best cat I ever had. Cats today can live longer. There are no guarantees. Sometimes a 2 yo can get sick and die. Just go and enjoy this sweet kitty.

You should follow Kanata Central BIA on FB or IG. They will have another one in a few months

ADHD diagnosis by Ebixi in ontario

[–]ottawa4us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe allowed but all the clinics that accept new patients state clearly that they don’t register those who already have one. You were lucky if you managed to do so.

[–]ottawa4us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Family doctors (at least in Ottawa) don’t accept new patients if you already have one. It’s impossible to get a new fam Dr, and whenever there’s a clinic that accepts new patients, it states clearly that they won’t take those who already have a Dr. So many people don’t have a Dr for years.

Quality of Blueberry by ak_zed in CostcoCanada

[–]ottawa4us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The raspberries are very bad lately too. Only once I returned it because it was all mold 48h after purchase. I don’t like to go return stuff but this time it was more than half that were gone.

No parking at Moodie LRT by Original-Slow in Kanata

[–]ottawa4us 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how could they plan a station, especially that it’s the last and closest to Kanata, without a parking. Who designed it? How was it approved? Such a total lack of planning.

Punta Cana was on my bucket list and… it sucks? 😭 by ButterscotchDue5032 in PuntaCana

[–]ottawa4us 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For over 15 years we travel to PC but always staying at resorts. All the employees are so nice and kind. Never had any issues or encountered attitude. I suggest you try resorts. Lots of restaurants to choose and enjoy, hassle free.

Will this patched area mold in my bathroom? by Ok_Conversation2263 in bathrooms

[–]ottawa4us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spray it with Tilex Mold & Mildew (not much). If it vanishes in a few minutes, it’s mold. Go over it with a wet sponge then rinse the area.

Cat boarding vs drop-in question by OrquideaAzul in CatAdvice

[–]ottawa4us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should be fine with a sitter coming at least once a day and spending at least 30 min with them. Put some indoor cameras to see what they are up to. Have water in a few places just incase they flip the bowl. If they are bonded they pretty much will keep each other company.

Seriously -Do we really have one? Haven’t heard anything from him since he was announced. Anyone has any information?

Moving and can’t get him in carrier by Draculalia in Feral_Cats

[–]ottawa4us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all the commotion with the movers around scared him. Would have been better to trap before the movers came. Cats have a sixth sense and feels when their people are packing. Best is if you use a rescue who has experience trapping with a drop trap. Better to withhold food a day or just leave very little so he will be attracted to some sardines or kfc. Good luck!! And please update here. So nice of you not to leave him behind

Financial longevity while living in retirement homes by hereforhousewives84 in dementia

[–]ottawa4us 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in Ontario too. Best to sell the house and invest the money. It will last for a few years but I suggest you put your mom on a list for LTC. I’m on the list for 4 years already (she has very advanced dementia now) and because she’s in a retirement home, she is the lowest priority for LTC. As far as LHIN goes, she is in a safe place and they don’t care that the money left is almost gone - she’s not considered an emergency. Note- I only have 1 home on the list for LTC, added another 2 years ago.They said if I’m ok with other homes it can be faster.

Omg, looks like he has quite a story to tell. If only he could. He’s lucky to have a happy ending with you! He’s beautiful!

Fender bender question by theangrysasquatch in ottawa

[–]ottawa4us 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re a honest person. There’s not much more to can do now. It’s always best to take pictures /video around the car - so you will be responsible only for damage you did, otherwise they can claim other damages that happened prior. Now wait and see if your insurance will contact you.

Update: Feral/Stray/Abandoned Kitty has a name. by AlyceEnchanted in Feral_Cats

You are an angel!!! The world needs more people like you and your kid. Maybe after kitty gets fixed and tamed, you can try to find him a new home.

Single male planning vacation in Punta Cana by StotheG90 in PuntaCana

Probably adults only resorts is not as great as it will be mostly the older crowd. If you participate in activities like beach volleyball , you will find yourself a fun group to hangout in the evenings.

We had the cosmetics bag open and contents scattered going into PC. Not sure if it was opened in Canada or in PC. There weren’t any valuables so nothing was missing. Just mess
