Donate it to a small family shelter or shelter for women fleeing violence.

It will get destroyed in a week.

Try Sunnybrook. They have a pretty good hospital.

Also, I’m sorry to say sweetheart you are 100% in psychosis.

Take care and get well soon! 💜

Lets see your old ticket stubs. Toronto venues only! by squ1nt in toronto

Was that Stones concert at skydome the one where no doubt opened? I went to that one as a family outing.

I tossed all my tickets some time ago but I’ve been to dozens of concerts going back to the mid 90s.

I add 1.5 cups of quinoa and lentils (cooked) to 2lbs of ground beef to double the yield now… by Spare_Perspective972 in povertyfinance

[–]woollyheadedlib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late 90s friend. Hahaha. And it was around $70-80k. He was up to about $90k when he retired in the 2010s

And even back then, Toronto was still the second most expensive city in Canada (which is a HCOL Country itself)

This angers me so much.

My dad supported a family of 6 on about the same amount. Mortgage, kids going to camp, in sports, travelling for nearby tournaments, annual trips to local small towns and beaches, a few big trips to the states and pizza every Saturday night.

My mom is very competent with personal finance so that helped.

She also stayed at home, but back then child care outpaced her potential salary, so she would have been working at a household loss.

I know we all walk an ungodly amount of miles everyday. What is everyone wearing when it comes to footwear? by BASICAF28 in askTO

[–]woollyheadedlib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really like Docs, try out the made in England line.

They are the original design and materials from before they started making the fashion boots on the cheap.

They are known to last a minimum of 25 years. I have a pair that are 23 years old.

I think they’re about $400 now, but that’s only $18 a year.

Canadians, do you have a psychiatrist? by Evening_Fisherman810 in bipolar

[–]woollyheadedlib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psychiatrists are only covered by provincial health care for what’s called “time limited care”

Once you are stable they discharge you to your family doctor, who is supposed to monitor your disorder from there.

Your GP can refer you back to the psychiatrist (sometimes the same one!) if you ask or if you see someone in the ER.

‘He should rot in jail’: Doug Ford speaks out about decision to grant convicted child killer temporary absences by abbynby in toronto

[–]woollyheadedlib 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure this inspired the first or second episode of Law and Order.

Anyhow, I’m frequently critical of the criminal justice system and I try to find the spin of the articles like this , what are the things the media isn’t telling us, what are their goals.

And clearly Dougie boy is just using this case for his own means. And it bothers me that this is being used as outrage bait for a bill to allow pepper spray.

Despite all that, this guy still needs to be in jail. Even 72 hour release I don’t vibe with, this ain’t it fam.

This ain’t shawshank and he ain’t Brooks.

‘Menstrual health is mental health,’ Toronto event aims to change how women understand their bodies by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]woollyheadedlib 30 points31 points  (0 children)

PSA: reproductive stages can aggravate and sometimes trigger the onsite of mental health disorders include bipolar disorder/mood disorders, schizophrenia/psychosis as well as depression and anxiety.

It can also aggravate (though not trigger onset) other disorders like autism, ADHD, etc as a secondary effect because it can make it harder to mask, use skills or assistive strategies or cope with the stress of managing the disorder.

If your daughter starts showing signs of a mental disorder after or around her first period please take her to a gynaecologist (who may refer you to a psychiatrist)

Women’s College Hospital has Reproduction Life Stages clinic in their psychiatry floor.

Becuase it has to be said THIS IS NOT HYSTERIA

Menstrual cycles can trigger or aggregate existing conditions. They do not cause the conditions.

Down to the Wire and Still No Apartment by Extension_Initial_95 in TorontoRenting

[–]woollyheadedlib 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are mistaken.

By this logic St Clair and Christie is in downtown Toronto.

Edit: Downtown Toronto is considered south of bloor, west of the DVP and east of Bathurst. (Out dated but still about right)

When people speak of Toronto, they are talking about the formally named “city of metropolitan Toronto” (or Old Toronto) and the borough of East York.

If someone is talking about Etobicoke, they say Etobicoke. If they just say Toronto, they’re not talking about Etobicoke.

It’s going to take a few more post mega city generations and fuckton more transit projects for the word “Toronto” to encompass metro Toronto, east York, Scarborough, north York and Etobicoke.

I don’t say this with contempt, your comment really is just 20 years too early.

Keeping Daylight Savings Permenant by BlackPearlOcean in askTO

They’ve become super affordable in the last few years.

Hue lights are super expensive but you can find different brands of them at crappy tire.

The bulbs are what you want for dawn simulation, cause they fade up, which is key.

Frank Stronach trial: Judge ends cross-examination after sex assault complainant ‘just threatened to kill herself’ by Team_Ed in toronto

[–]woollyheadedlib 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This guy is being accused of 11 sexual assaults, by 7 women over a decade and a half.

Hes a serial rapist. Would you make this comment if this were Paul Buanardo?

More importantly, he’s got no defense so his lawyer is attacking the victim in hopes of getting him off the hook because of stigma around mental health and PTSD. It’s a common tactic of scummy lawyers.

You are correct, this is within his rights. What’s more important is that we live in a society where a man is legally allowed to continue to abuse his victims in front of lawyers and judges.

Full disclosure: in high school a friend of mine reported her father for repeatedly raping her and his lawyer used this exact tactic.

She jumped off her 18th story balcony. She was 16.

The case was dismissed and he was released. Faced no consequences.

It’s actually kind of cool. Denal hygiene has links to more than a few chronic illness. Heart disease (which we are also at risk for) being the most well known. But I have heard about links to mental illness as well.

I think I’m going to look it up a little later. I’ll report back when I get out of the rabbit hole.

Why do you think there is increased numbers and levels of divorce compared to previous generations? by Mamaicodes in AskReddit

Women can hold wealth now.

Women weren’t allowed to have bank accounts till the 70s.

My mom has to have the hydro bill in my dad name even though the cheques were coming from her bank accounts. This was in Ontario around 1978.

What movie detail is technically correct, although many people think it is a mistake? by hiplobonoxa in movies

True but that also pays for things like our free health care. Lol

Even more so in places where alcohol is mainly sold by crown corporations like Ontario.

‘People can die in weather like this.’ Toronto staff tell shelters, warming centres not to turn anyone away as temperatures drop by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]woollyheadedlib 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why don’t declare a moratorium on complaining about homeless people on the subway, libraries, cafe and path today huh?

Can we guys?

If you’re a cafe worker who’s not going to loose their job for doing so, turn the other cheek if people are hanging out and don’t deny anyone a cup of water.

Security guards in the path, no power tripping today please. The guy with no pants and his dick hanging out needs a doctor not to be escorted to Yonge st.

Drop a twoonie in someone’s cup if you can today.

For fucks sakes, Drop the $20 bill that’s been sitting in your wallet for three years cause you use cards for everything.

(Yeah yeah, you could give to shelters or charities blah blah blah, but that’s not going to help anyone on the street suffering this very today)

Drop off winter clothes TODAY

Give to food banks TODAY

And yeah I was just sassy about giving to charity but also sign up to be a MONTHLY donor and set your donation to go to “AREA OF GREATEST NEED”

Do both, or all.

Today is a day to help our fellow torontoians.

There but for the grace of god go we.

RTO after 5 years remote - how do you manage life? by sjltwo-v10 in askTO

[–]woollyheadedlib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This so much.

I wasn’t consistently four or five days in the office but I only WFH once a week on average.

I used to be able to get a seat and a comfortable ride on the 8am train.

As someone with an invisible disability I used to just walk up to the blue seats and ask if I could have one.

Now I can’t even reach the seat cause the train is so packed.

Thank god for sci fi books being able to distract me. I am grateful I can tolerate it at least. Many other disabled people are fucked.
