  #Edmonton #Alberta is having an especially horrific year for #mosquitoes, which I suppose is one ofthe disadvantages of finally getting more than enough rain to be out of #drought at the moment. But back to the mosoquitoes -- we're in BIG trouble hereabouts, folks! They're expanding their strategies for blood sucking. I discovered one yesterday holed up IN MY FRIDGE to #ambush me! 😳 Thankfully, thermodynamics put a stop to that before she could use me as a snack, but still!!!!1! 😱...

  Welp, I've given it over 24 hrs. ALL of my disabilities and chronic conditions that are easily observable without additional sciencey stuff like #bloodwork or #CT or #MRI or #XRay are still OBVIOUSLY active. I am STILL disabled. I am extremely disappointed that the #UCP's decision to put me on #ADAP as of yesterday (July 1, 2026) instead of remaining on #AISH is clearly so arbitrary. They're supposed to be the #MostGenerous* of all the provinces!!!1! (*Their phrasing, not mine....

  Just a quick check-in to let friends here know I'm okay. … lots to deal with lately and insufficient energy to attend to all in a sufficiently-timely manner. 😐 Doubtless more chaos to come with whatever the heck is *actually* about to happen with #AISH so may be intermittent as to when I can participate much here. 😬🤔 Appreciate our discussions and community happenings etc as always. ❤️ #yeg

  Last night I figured it is high time to learn more depth about #diabetes, as I've been having a lot of trouble with high numbers lately no matter what I do. I go to a #Canadian #website figuring that will have the most-relevant forms of information for my needs/circumstances. The site is a lot less in-depth than what I expected, and every topic requires further #clicks to dig any deeper. I steel myself to learn more about #WorstCase issues and click on the link about #amputations. The...

  Hello, #Fedi! I posted earlier about not finding very good/detailed info re #diabetes earlier … completely failing to remember that there are likely lots of folks here who could point me to good resources. (Thank you @canadianglen for the suggestion!) I was #dx'd maybe 4 yrs ago but have had problems since I was first put on #corticosteroids as a kid for #Lupus. The most recent time I had to use those I now also had a #CGM and insulin, so when those very old yet familiar sensations of e...

  A story, my friends. More particularly, an #ObjectLesson. I'm old enough to have absolutely NO idea what this hand tool is intended to be. 1/x #tools #mystery #object #use

  One natural #skill I appear to have is getting papercuts, even if something is simply made from paper, such as a cardboard box. I will know I have reached extremely rarefied levels of #PaperCut skills when I start having them from touching #MDF furniture. 😳🙄😂

  Wow. Just completed a post-service survey that included the ability to update contact information. Multiple 'send' clicks were responded with an intercept demanding all fields be completed first. Finally figured out what was missing: a landline number. You know, that thing many of us no longer bother paying premium fees for on the off-chance we're home when someone tries to call. 😳🙄😂 #UX #UIX #data
