Now that you mention it, these are two different agencies and I only recall needing to do this for the ADP. My DTC form from the CRA only says to le...

This would be my guess, too. I've had the same happen to me. An allergic reaction would cause your skin, all of it under the wafer, to become very r...

Thank you for sharing. It looks like Marlen really expanded on their product offering, even including barriers that look like they can replace Cymed b...

Which reminds me... I need to come up with a plan/device/setup for emptying my bag discreetly while out on really long (often remote) bike rides. I'm ...

I'm so sorry that you're struggling @squeakyandliza. Are you able to keep your appliance off for a few hours during your next appliance change? I've...

@granddayout You did it! And thank you for sharing in such an entertaining way 😆 I agree with @john68 that you are being too hard on yourself. Trus...

😆 Speaking of birds (real or otherwise), we set up a new feeder that has a built-in camera! Now, well get notified whenever our local red-brested nuth...

This is so important, and I appreciate you saying that. @llholiday I can understand how that would be a stressful experience, but keeping those two ...

@tigerlily Hit the nail on the head. Make sure you get the ADP grant and don't forget to apply for the disability tax credit if you have a permanent o...

@john68 Yes, and so many services are "hidden", so you wouldn't know about them unless you asked. Our grants went up several years ago to reflect h...
