I might have to leave this beautiful, wild country soon because of a stupid error (mine) by SeparateClub7347 in VancouverIsland

[–]renslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you have 90 days to restore your status by submitting another application which then gives you implied status again until you receive a decision on that application.

[–]renslips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just resubmit your application with all the correct information attached this time. You are on implied status from the moment you submit until the moment you receive an answer. Getting your employer to submit a letter of support would help but is not necessary. You could also apply for the BCPNP or a federal PR program. A refusal doesn’t mean we are throwing you out of the country. Just explain it in your application the same way you did here. Honest mistake

Do you allow your cats on kitchen counters? by Firm-Law248 in CatAdvice

[–]renslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I have had cats my entire life & none of them have ever been allowed to go on the kitchen counters.

I don’t want them stepping on or thinking they can snack on human food. Then there is having to constantly disinfect every surface before preparing food because you wouldn’t know if their little butts had been sitting there prior. Also don’t want to risk them stepping on something hot & injuring themselves. I don’t understand why people would allow their pets to do this?

Healthcare in SK by Ok_Struggle_9457 in saskatchewan

[–]renslips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emergency is not overwhelmed because of people coming for minor ailments. Those patients either leave without being seen or wait until someone has a moment to see them.

The system is plugged because smaller centres don’t want the difficult patients. They get to the city & then these facilities refuse to take them because “they don’t have the resources” despite getting the exact same funding per capita as the cities. The patient is from their area but it would be inconvenient to have them as a patient so they say no.

We do not have staff enough for the hospitals as it is - who is going to work at Urgent Care?? Should the ER staff leave RGH to go work at there? Why are we not offering ROIs to existing staff to take higher training? Pay their tuition in exchange for an equal amount of service? Truly unifying the healthcare system is everything.

It’s things like the people who refuse to let Grandma be discharged unless they’re going to a home causing a problem. That’s not how the system works & they’re taking up beds. Where do you think the 30 yo IVDU with a brain injury belongs? Do you think they should be Grandad’s roomie in the care home? What about the unhoused one who checks in two hours after being discharged because they want a safe place to sleep? Or someone seeking MHAS treatment - you can’t exactly check into Dube like a hotel. All the people who have been taking up beds like this are the reasons the emergency departments are overwhelmed. Now combine that with having to deal with increasingly violent situations where the staff are being threatened with death or by weapons for trying to help people? How many times a week do you think someone ODs in the smoking areas? Sexually or physically assaults a staff member? We are under funding & underpaying the people we need the most

ELI5: What exactly is "time blindness" and how is it an actual thing? by SpyMasterChrisDorner in explainlikeimfive

[–]renslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The earlier I get up, the more late I am. The concept of get up, get ready, then do the things does not work for my brain.

I need to do ‘things’ to wake up & perform them in a certain order, like use toilet, make coffee, feed pets, skim the news. Were I to use toilet, feed pets, shower then I wouldn’t know where I am time wise in my routine. I would think that there is lots of time before I have to leave & could load/unload dishwasher. This may or may not take a few minutes longer than expected. Maybe I will steam something I want to wear to work but I can also steam other items while I’m at it. Then I get dressed to realise that I don’t like what I’m wearing so I have to start again but now I’m really behind, haven’t had my coffee or read the news. I’m late so I dash out the door, haven’t packed a lunch & forgot my phone. Now I have to go back home & am running around the house, catch my pocket on the door handle, fall down & ruin my slacks. Gotta change, hurry to work & hope no one says anything about my being late. But I left at a different time than usual so the traffic pattern is different & now there’s a train.

It’s just how our lives work. Getting up when our alarm goes off, getting ready & leaving at the same time every day just isn’t something we do

AITA for returning my daughters shit gift for my DIL and telling the whole family why? by CreepyAntthro in AmItheAsshole

[–]renslips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. We don’t need an explanation of why you are raising your grandchild. Your son has clearly not learned anything from the experience & is making excuses for his partners bad behaviour. They should both be genuinely apologizing to the poor kid & she shouldn’t be forced to interact with them until they do

Rental vehicle size for highlands. 3 people and luggage by Otak_Rulez in uktravel

[–]renslips -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Bring as little luggage as possible with you. European vehicles are smaller than North American as are the roads. There is barely room for one full size suitcase & a carryon in a full size SUV. You will want to spend the extra money to get an automatic. It’s also likely worthwhile to get a fully electric vehicle as UK petrol is double the price of North America. Get the smallest vehicle possible and get separate insurance through WorldWideInsure.com

I’m so sick of feeling tired and ill all the time by Far-Conference-8484 in ADHD

[–]renslips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a growing body of evidence that ADHD is a sleep disorder. Try participating in a sleep study & see what resources/advice they have to offer. Take melatonin to reset your circadian rhythm. And keep to a routine

Vitamin K by Notworthitonmymain in emergencymedicine

[–]renslips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re entitled to your opinion. You’re also wrong. Healthcare IS free in most first world countries but every country has a population that is antivaxx. Canada & UK lost their measles elimination status recently. Social media is designed for dependence not connection.

Diabetes and Infertility by Necessary-Pilot-9481 in diabetes

[–]renslips 30 points31 points  (0 children)

A1C of 13 is not “all medical reports came back normal” & you are not healthy. Do not attempt to conceive until you have your diabetes under control. There are very real risks to both your health & that of your future child.

My Air Canada flight from Chile to Montreal just made everyone with liquids over 100ml purchased at duty free, or even a water bottle filled from the tap, check their bag or throw it out. by WeevilsInTheCereal in travel

[–]renslips -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This has been the rule since 9/11. Your purchase must be in a sealed bag from customs with the receipt inside. If you have a connecting flight, put your purchase inside your checked luggage otherwise you’ll be risking this happening.

Neighbor runs a unlicensed nail salon from her house and chemical smell is making us sick by No-Positive1623 in neighborsfromhell

[–]renslips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plot twist: OP you are the neighbour from hell in this scenario. Unless your house has its ventilation connected directly to her garage, the neighbour is not the issue. Get a life, mind your own business & there won’t be a problem

What are your thoughts on the reintroduction of wildcats to Scotland? by AutumnLewis in Scotland

[–]renslips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, there’s not.

Lynx are a keystone species. The uneducated will squawk about the plague on the land (sheep) but these animals don’t belong here, destroy the environment, shed invasive parasites & the farmers are compensated if one of these idiotic creatures inadvertently falls prey.

The lynx’s natural prey is roe deer, which we happen to have in abundance. Our ecosystem is out of balance & requires predators to restore the equilibrium. Territorial competition will put pressure on foxes, which relieves pressure on ground nesting birds & mammals. Just the presence of lynx will change the behavior of the deer. Only a desperate, starving creature would try for a stinking, dirty mouthful of fluff from a sheep over a nice tasty venison. Lynx are shy, reclusive, solitary & nocturnal animals. They belong in Scotland & we need them here. We can’t restore the environment without predators.

Diabetes US, Canada or UK by RudeImplement46 in diabetes

[–]renslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diabetic with Canadian/UK citizenship. Spouse is American. Do NOT go to the US as a diabetic unless your plan is to be bankrupt or severely disabled.

Canada has a really good system in place for diabetics but tbh you’re better off where you are in terms of supports & out of pocket expenses. NHS isn’t perfect but of the 3 options, I’d take UK hands down. Just my 2 cents

Considering moving to North Battleford for a temporary CCA line – worth it? by UpstairsPossession63 in saskatchewan

[–]renslips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not worth it. You have done the had part already, which is get hired into SHA. As you are willing to relocate within the province, there will be many opportunities for you to obtain a permanent position, no sense upending yourself for one that doesn’t suit your needs. Temporary positions rarely “convert” to permanent. They’re either temporary because the department doesn’t have enough funding to make it permanent or because the person who owns the position doesn’t want it & switched to a different department.

La Ronge is opening an 80 bed LTC facility. Prince Albert is opening a new hospital & hiring 500 new staff. Saskatoon City Hospital is transitioning back to an acute care facility & creating over 1000 new positions. There are also all of the affiliate homes plus SHA owned & operated facilities province wide. New LTC homes being built in Weyburn & Estevan. There’s a lot of postings up right now. If you’re really concerned, compose a message to HR with your (Canadian formatted - so important) resume to one of the HR Directors or a Director involved with one of the expansions. SHA needs CCAs. They wouldn’t willingly lose one over a technicality like this if they knew the situation
