My husband's bank just made him do a cognitive test when he went to take out HIS MONEY because they were worried he was being scammed. My husband is 57 years old.

The first 10 seasons of ER have dropped on Crave. The show premiered in 1994 when I was in nursing school. We would all watch it and discuss over lunch inbetween classes. Still resonates.

Waiting almost 4 weeks for feedback on a health authority operational approval request for research in British Columbia is a huge road block to actually doing research in British Columbia. Sitting here with ethics approval and nowhere to be because of institutional gatekeepers.

I started watching Chad Powers and thought it was dumb and then got completely sucked in because it is diabolical and I really hope there is a Season 2 but even if there isn't it is totally worth watching.

Doesn't get more miserly than the BCNDP government cancelling overtime fund for long-term care homes.
Would they do this to Emergency Depts? No! But that's where all our frail, complex older adults will end up because there aren't sufficient staff in their LTC home.

They’ve been raising the alarm for months and now it’s here:
Not-for-profit care home operators in BC are having to make tough choices about core services after a provincial funding program ended
It hasn’t even been a week and seniors are bearing the brunt

Missed baths, lonely meals: Care home funding cuts impacting B.C. seniors
In the five days since they lost a provincial funding initiative, B.C. care home operators are already having to make tough decisions about core services with the staff available.

As we get heavier rains, municipalities should be adding "people who use leaf blowers to blow all their leaves into the street thereby causing street flooding" alongside ticketing people who don't shovel their sidewalks (and yes help out your neighbours who are unable to do this d/t disabilities).

What is it with people who are "just waiting" in a handicap parking spot who then double down when you tell them to move it? I was road raged on with honking by an a-hole who was "just waiting" by squeezing himself in between two parked cars, one of which was in the extra wide handicap spot.

Task is all done now. Excellent show. I hope eventually there is another season. But like Mare of Eastown it might be one and done. Still, I prefer this over 1000 seasons of Grey's Anatomy.

Annual flu and COVID vaccines on-board! Plus I pushed my daughter up and down 2 stories of a parkade because the building's elevator was out of order! This is what memories are made of /s

Finished The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman. The Thursday Murder club series continues with a solid 5/5 stars.
I told my husband, you cackle and laugh until the last 20 pages and then you just sob. Completely cathartic.

Took my dtr to get new foot orthotics started today. $6000. You must be joking. The prices disabled people are forced to pay for equipment are ridiculous.
Also, because gov't workers are on strike the request for co-pay won't be assessed for a long, long time (usually min of 45 business days).

If I didn't already have two shows tied for #1 this year (Andor, The Pitt), Task would be right there in #1. It took a couple of episodes to be completely sucked in but I am right there now to find out how this ride ends.

Make it make sense. I have lumps in my breast. I go for a screening mammogram, then get sent to diagnostic + ultrasound. Those tests come back 'presumed benign.' I get kicked back to screening and start the merry-go-round all over again. Why get kicked back to screening each year?

I was asked to be on a panel at a conference. I said I would be happy to but would need to join remotely. The lead panelist checked with the conference organizers and they said they cannot accommodate remote presenters.

Thursday Murder Club movie proves once again that the book(s) are always better than the movie/TV show. Some poor casting choices and whoever styled the Joyce character clearly hadn't read/listened to the audiobook. And Ibrahim is demoted to a caricature not a character. Screenplay writing abysmal.
