Alberta is trying to get rid of public health care, Ontario isn't far behind.

Her mother found her? That's ...a big detail to leave out when commenting on how distraught she is in the other articles.

Apothecary Diaries

I cannot stress this enough. Apothecary Diaries


Light hearted and fun (low stress):

  • Kuma Kuma Kuma bear

  • Mashle

  • Raising kids while adventuring

  • I parry everything

  • Killing slimes for 300 years

  • By the grace of the gods

  • Fluffy paradise

Used to also recommend Bofuri but the last episode of season 2 implies heavily that season 3 is going to head way off in a completely different feel from 1+2


Lighter and did not end on a hard cliffhanger

  • Aristocrat's otherworldly adventures

  • Banished former hero lives as he pleases

  • Campfire cooking in another world

  • Level 2 super cheat powers

  • Reincarnated as the 7th prince

  • Parallel world pharmacy

  • Sleepy princess in the demon castle

  • Villainess level 99

  • The wrong way to use healing magic


Other suggestions offered based on the person's preferences:

  • Dungeon Meshi

  • Goblin Slayer

  • So I'm a spider, so what?

  • Solo leveling

  • That time I got reincarnated as a slime

  • Dan da Dan

  • The vexations of a shut-in vampire princess

  • Ya boy Kongming

  • Standalone complex

  • One punch man

  • Kill la kill

Dan da Dan is just coming out now. First episode animation looked really good and it is off the walls insane.

😂 thanks for clarifying. I was staring at it and all I could think of was the South Park Comcast episode.

If you can, send a reply saying thanks or something. It helps get more added at other locations.

If I had the money I'd want to try staffing it with cult deprogramming specialists. It would be an interesting experiment to track.

That's awesome! I'm jealous. Congrats! :D

Sadly 7x9 is a legal bedroom size here, so long as it has a window. There's also no requirement for any of the walls to be straight, so I've seen some really unlivable room shapes

We've been dead set on getting something fully detached since living in an apartment style condo. There's 0 enforcement of the little bit of laws we have as soon as it's an apartment building. The city is 100% hands off for anything not detached. None of the laws on the books are focused on or designed with any kind of density in mind.

The condo boards are HOA's on steroids. The rulers of these little fiefdoms don't just fuss at your lawn and paint. They decide if/when the roof will be looked at, if they should bother to top up the emergency fund as much as suggested, etc. It's insane. As much as we prefer the low impact of high density, it's just not livable.

Family have tried finding apartment buildings (condo or rent) but have given up. All of them are studio, 1, or 2 bedrooms. Max seems to be ~900 sqft, which would be fine if they were square. Unfortunately they all seem to be very long and narrow. The 900sqft also includes balconies, storage spaces, and parking spots here. It's not great.

Every apartment style condo in this city also has serious building issues. The city just signs and doesn't inspect. The builders (major builder #451) just disappear after each build as they "go under" and the major builder they were "part of " are not considered liable since it was a subsidiary. Regulations were put in place to prevent this with detached builds but they don't cover condos.

Until regulations make them livable I doubt we'll see a serious adoption of them for a while here.

As someone that's had to do a liquid diet before, check the seniors food delivery for options. They're savory, nutritionally balanced (for seniors), and come in a variety of thicknesses. Apparently it's common for some seniors to have swallowing difficulty.

Your mileage may vary based on your local options but it was a butt saver at the time.

Also blending some of my favourite meals with a broth (technically you could use ensure) was a more palatable way of working back up to solids.

Honestly I assumed they were pushing this simply to drag out the proceedings. That would force the widower into a position where they couldn't afford to continue, ensuring they would take whatever NDA Disney offered for whatever amount.

Also some parts of historical sites. Some of the local ones have hallways that are only 5'6" max and maybe 1'6" wide if you're very lucky.
