Does one vote, really make a difference?
If you had asked me that yesterday, I would have hesitated, and said probably not. Not sure if it does today either, but at least there is a glimmer of hope. Why? Because I finally met a politician who seems to care, who may one day be a Cabinet …
Yesterday wasn’t what I’d call a great day. It was rather unproductive, and it makes me wonder, if I get this whole new society at all. I mean I was raised a certain way, always told to reach for the stars, to never settle for second best, but to accept that sometimes, my best just …
Read MoreThere are some interesting things about Pharmacare. YES, it does make it easier to manage prescriptions, for the most part, but some of the things it won’t cover, don’t make much sense. Especially when you apply them to older people, like my Mom, who is now 93 years old.
Things like anti fungal medication for yeast …
ODD, when you follow the rules, how difficult it becomes to get anywhere. Still not a word back from the Minister’s scheduler, nor from Rob Fleming MLA either. I mean really, you’d think that by now, someone would reply, but guess they have more important things to do, THAN RESPOND TO A CITIZEN.

What is it with some women, who try to confuse an older person, by insisting they have been here before, that we didn’t have a dog then. Kind …
Is it real? Or is it just window dressing to make companies look good, that they adhere to some standard, that a third party has verified?
Beacon Community Services has their logo on their front page, so I thought I’d give it a click, to see what it is about. Mainly because I find the standard …
Once again Beacon Community Services has thrown a wringer into Sunday.
This time, not only did they change the schedule, and worker, but sent one who’s native language isn’t English. Now, that doesn’t mean its bad, unless the person’s ability to communicate in English is so bad, no one can totally understand every word spoken.
Worker changes, …
I don’t get it. Why do substitute workers seem to think that they have been here before, when the fact is, they haven’t been? I mean is it that all patients they tend to, look alike? Or What?
Today’s substitute worker, Nancy, insists she has been here before, but in the afternoon. Which would mean that …
