Some slightly dated references, but all in all a must read and very relevant. Also free online for downloads, even audio versions. Your library likely has a copy too.

Not just cancer, but any serious medical condition. You can become bankrupt in Canada from medical bills.

Cancer comes with unexpected bills: time off work, travel to appointments, meds and more. Help lower the cost of cancer.

Thank you. I've had this on my downstairs bookshelf to read, for decades, now I won't have to.

Doesn't seem to listen very well, does she?

And they may in fact be bad for you, if you've already got other medical issues. Gastroissues the last 2-3 day, not sure what's causing it, but I'm not going to be eating them uncooked anymore. Have them in my protein balls. Maybe just too much fibre?

Sounds like the dietary people at RGH.

They get it right for one meal, then the other two are like pure carnivore diet practically.

They don't seem to understand the concept that bland means no salt or sugars or pepper. I get it, they make like 400 meals, but it's a hospital,people are sick

Really not interested in anything "social" after the year 2000, with a few exceptions.

Ageism doesn't help any either, no. Them talking down to you like you're a moron instead of just sick, or in pain.
Phone-calls are often worse.

Cool, new flavour.

Boo, hoo, hoo. Got to Mexico instead next time, or Cuba where their laws are easier to take.

Everything is broken down by this government. You should see the sad state of repair at RGH. Great people, doing miracles with broken equipment and often duct tape, literally.

When Rock FM radio came to Ottawa, CHEZ-106

Same deal. 1977. Groups I'd never heard of before and likely wouldn't on the mainstream AM music stations.

They still won't let them wear N95s. Which is why a lot, if not most nurses in SK don't bother, they know they don't work well.

Twenty bucks, and a bit, is what I pay for mine. Wranglers.

There is some self management required for the former yes, but it's a less expensive solution. I just take out the one day box at a time so can't grab one from another day. And it comes in snap tight case, much better than the old style .

Or use this for vitamins etc. Lock for the important ones

Just reminded me of this painting, not a lioness though, no.

he Sleeping Gypsy (French: La Bohémienne endormie) is an 1897 oil on canvas painting by the French Naïve artist Henri Rousseau (1844–1910). It is a fantastical depiction of a lion musing over a sleeping woman on a moonlit night. It is held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, to which it was donated by Mrs. Simon Guggenheim in 1939. In the museum, the painting is housed next to Vincent van Gogh's famous 1889 painting The Starry Night.

A.I. in action maybe. I seem to be missing words when I type, and so I'm either going senile or the WP is deleting them?
Or my brain runs faster than the keyboard and thought process thinks a word is in there, but I didn't in fact type it.

Those indelible toffees in the orange Halloween motif wrappers.

My faves were the Neilson Dairy milk minis...but they stopped making them, damned owners that bought out the company want you to eat their garbage instead.

Pill box sorters. It's almost impossible to mess up after you fill them once a week. They're like $12, I just got a new one with a nicer case.
Alternately there are pill cap timers that only allow you to open them at set intervals, once ever 6 hours for instance, or once a day, etc.
