ugh. I just wanna drive from point A to point B, you know? Happy to keep my car for 10+ yrs, but don't want it to break down on the highway or wait months for an elusive part.

Not a Trump supporter, and I do not approve of this move, but the argument they're giving is that those resources dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth will be used for everyone and anyone in a mental health crisis, rather than targeting a specific high risk population

wanted to get a Toyota Camry next but no one has them in stock, so sticking with Hyundai for now. I know Hyundai has had issues recently. time will tell.

I wish they would learn from the dumpster fire that is Quebec healthcare. Way more expensive to rebuild than to fix it now. Many Quebec hospitals, you can't even enter by the front door because they're all construction sites & have been for years. Traffic to ER is absurd (20 min to go last 3 blocks)

I did. It was a 1999 Honda CRV. Buttons fell off, door handles stopped working. I had it for, I think, 6 years. I was quite surprised and disappointed. I moved to Hyundai and never looked back. Hyundai required ridiculously frequent brake/break pad replacements but otherwise way more durable overall

This was not my experience with Honda

I once tried to argue this point with some people on Twitter-- that mask use pre-covid was common, even in children, in some oncology settings. They told me I was crazy. One was a nurse. It's like bizzaro world.

Government controls it. I don't meet the criteria. Anyway, it's too late for me.

My daughter is 21 and in a similar boat. Symptoms aren't as bad as yours but bad enough. I tell her to get her request for hysterectomy on her medical record, so we can build up to an eventual ok for surgery.

Can't access that where I live unless you're severely ill. The only person I know who got access was my 90 yr old dad with severe heart disease

I've had them for 40 years and sometimes they are incredibly intense. Two things that can help:
1. Distract myself with a high cognitive load task. I play timed solitaire
2. Do intense exercise so my body stops equating high heart rate with imminent death

Thanks! When my kiddo had it 2 yrs ago, they tested positive for 23 days! I think people don't realize how long you can be positive because most people just don't bother to test. Staying home is no problem, but isolating from the family this long is a drag. Better than us all getting sick, tho
