Planning to take the kid and a friend to a jays game. They’re 6 years old & we’re planning to go on a Jr Jays Sunday.

Is there anyway to actually watch the game from if the kids want to sit with these district tix? Or should I buy standard seats?

I’ve been with my kids before, and they like to walk around and check out the jr jays activities during the game so I thought the district tix might be fine, but I worry about when they want to eat or sit down for a bit and actually watch the game.

Been with TD Meloche Monnex for years, but at renewal this year they’re hiking my car insurance premium over $50/month. Nothings changed with our driving history, address, etc.

We also have a multi line discount, university alumni discount, winter tire discount and multi vehicle.

Looking for recommendations!

We’re in our late 30s with clean records.

I’m about to turn 38 & I decided to dump my teenage skincare routine for something more anti-aging focused.

I will admit that I used to use dove bar soap on my face in the shower (insert shame).

I usually followed it up with first aid beauty intense hydration (mainly because it was the best bang for my buck).

Now I’m doing this:

1. Laroche Posay face wash gel cleanser (am and pm)

2. The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides), Multi-Depth Hydration Serum (am and pm)

3. AM: the ordinary natural moisturizer, PM: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Pressed Face Serum With Purified Hyaluronic Acid and Antioxidants

Once a week: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner

I also picked up The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% and The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, Vitamin C Serum for once a week (or even less) use but haven’t even used these yet as the standard routine above is already causing issues.

I’ve been doing this routine just over a week and my skin is so dried out. Especially around my mouth and chin. I look 10 years old. It’s like retinol face when you didn’t gradually introduce it, but I haven’t even started it!

My skin is usually on the more oily side.

What am I doing wrong?

Anyone know why everyone was abruptly kicked out of Lakeside Park?

On Friday May 29th I took my first dose of WeGovy. 0.25mg before bed. I didn’t have any side effects.

On Friday, June 5th I took my second dose of WeGovy 0.25mg before bed. I woke up violently ill at 6am the next morning, and proceeded to be ill with GI symptoms for the remainder of that weekend. I was bed ridden. I spent the rest of that weekend trying to heal my system/settle my stomach.

I decided to stop doses and make an appointment with my GP which was 2 days ago. She advised to try again and if the same thing happens, I will have to try another medication.

I am terrified to restart.

I do not have the luxury of time to be sick with young children and a full-time job. I also want true weight loss and not GI side effect weight loss.

I take levothyroxine as I had my thyroid removed 2 years ago due to papillary thyroid cancer. I’m also on Effexor for anxiety.

Any tips?

Thanks!

I know Patio Andaluz had a floor of some sort & are waiting on permission from the city to re-open.

Then Castillo Shawarma. How long ago was that fire? They’re still boarded up.

My kid is newly into Pokemon and building his collection.

I already know they sell them at Canada Computers @ Fairview.

Who else sells them in the city?

Edit to add: sorry, I meant Pokémon cards!

I am 37, 5’4, 230lbs with stage 1 hypertension & newly elevated cholesterol. Other meds I take are Effexor 112.5mg for anxiety, Ramipril 2.5mg for hypertension and Levothyroxine for thyroid replacement (had it removed)

I started WeGovy on May 29th @ 0.25mg with no issues. I took it just before bed, approx. 2 hours after dinner.

I took my 2nd 0.25mg dose on June 5th, same deal. Before bed, but what followed has been awful. I woke up the next morning vomitting with pretty awful stomach cramping. Then fatigue hit me like a ton of bricks. I spent the entire day in bed with a heating pad to my stomach & visited the bathroom throughout the day with diarrhea. I could barely sit up for a few minutes most of the day. By 7pm that night I tolerated a slice of toast.

I improved by the next day, however I had no appetite. The sight of food sickened me, and I was still feeling quite sluggish. Now, 5 days since that dose I am still not feeling 100% back to normal. The stomach cramping is off/on. Once I eat a meal it returns and is usually at its worst when I lay down for bed. I’m more tired than usual, feel a lot more irritable and overwhelmed.

I’m supposed to take a 3rd dose of 0.25mg on Friday night but I’m honestly terrified. I cannot go through another week of this.

What can I do to avoid this all from happening again? If anything? Or am I just not a good candidate for this drug?

I’m sure at this rate I will come down in weight, however it will be from sickness/loss of appetite which won’t be ideal weight loss.

Instead of gifts, I’ve decided to set my nephew up with an RESP for his 1st birthday.

Birthdays, holidays, milestones & so on, I will be depositing money into this RESP & providing the parents with annual updates on how it’s doing.

Is there anything I need to know when I am setting one up for a child that isn’t mine?

I already have an established RESP for my child with Wealthsimple (self-directed) and plan to open this one up along side it for convenience.

Thanks!

Edit to add: this has already been discussed with the parents & they are on board. My sibling isn’t great with money.

Hello all,

I started at 0.25mg last Friday. The first dose was okay. I had some mild stomach discomfort but it passed relatively quickly. No other issues all week. I took it at bedtime.

Last night, I took my 2nd 0.25mg dose & was up vomiting by 7am. Thankfully, the vomitting subsided by 9am, but I’ve had loose BMs since. I’ve been stuck in bed all day with intense nausea, extremely lethargic & unable to do much. I’ve been taking small sips of water.

I’ve taken a Gravol.

I feel so defeated that I can’t even tolerate a starting dose. I missed an important event for my son today because of this, and for the first time all day, I’ve felt enough energy come over me to even post this.

Am I just not a good fit for the med?

Hello!

My spouse & I just started a Rover profile as we have been sitting/walking a handful of family/friends dogs & decided to explore Rover to earn more.

It’s gone well so far, however we received a strange request recently.

Maybe it isn’t strange at all, and I’m being paranoid?

The pet owner is asking to drop their dog off at 11:00pm at night, with a pick-up of 5pm the next day. The 11pm drop off is a bit unsettling to me and I don’t feel comfortable with it.

They also don’t have any previous reviews, the city is the same as ours, however they’ve misspelled the name & the profile photo looks AI generated.

If I archive this chat and decline the booking, will it negatively affect my status on Rover?

Is there a way to specify no late night drop offs?

Anything else I should know/avoid?

Thank you!

Where can I go to get rid of my expired propane tank & get a new one?

My parents are in their 80s & live at the condo at 81 Scott Street. They’ve been there for just under a year.

Over the past few days a letter was posted in the elevator stating 2 break ins occurred over the weekend. 2 units, 2 separate floors.

I’ve received numerous stories. Some say this is the first time this has ever happened here. Others say they’ve had numerous issues with break ins at this building over the years.

Any insight into this?

The building appeared safe & clean when we bought, and now I’m worried for their safety here.

Any insight would be appreciated.

EDIT TO ADD: So it’s actually 3 units now.

All 3 units were on vacation.

The same 2 people came in the building at 6pm Saturday night by following someone in & placed a device of some sort at the door. They returned at midnight & looked to place something up to the door and it opened.

Then they proceeded to 3 units (could be more as anyone who’s been away comes home)

We have a fairly large tree that we need removed from our property. The roots are almost at our homes foundation so we want to make sure we hire someone who knows what they’re doing.

Any recommendations?

My car is RAUNCHY.

Between kids, sports & so on it needs a serious interior detail. I’d imagine it would take an entire day to be honest. These kids are gross.

Who does a great detail?

I LOL every time someone uses the “you can’t just have one, they’ll have to manage everything alone” excuse to have a 2nd.

My spouse and I both have siblings & are in our late 30s with an only who is 6.

Over the past year, both of our fathers have had near-death health experiences involving hospital stays & home support. In both situations, we were the only ones “taking care” of everyone.

Since then, we’ve both accompanied our fathers to dozens of appointments, have been managing medications, treatments etc. No support from our siblings.

Both sets of parents also recently decided to sell their 2-storey homes & move into condominiums for accessibility & again, siblings MIA. Helping pack, unpack, assemble furniture, set things up & so on.

All while raising a 6 year old and managing two full-time careers.

So I promise you. That’s never a good enough reason to have a 2nd child. We have siblings & are still carrying the ENTIRE LOAD.

💪

How often is your 6-year old being invited to play dates?

My son was pretty consistently being invited to play dates weekly, but they seem to have dropped off & I’m in my head about it a bit since he’s also going through some challenges with impulse control and boundary testing.

Just curious.
