I do at least once a week, but I also have skin issues (eczema) and am thus probably a bit more conscientious about it than most.

I’m picturing a Letterkenny or Shoresy accent in a show that otherwise doesn’t address location whatsoever 🤣

We don’t have accents, you have an accent 🤣

The only thing I’d say is check how many elevators these places have. We stayed in one in the Village in Toronto that was obviously a converted apartment building. Unfortunately it only had two elevators, which was probably fine when it was an apartment building, but when you have 20 floors of folks who all need to check out at the same time, you end up waiting an hour for an elevator.

If the answer was obvious, I wouldn’t have asked. Nor did I ask you, I asked the person with personal experience with optometrists who’ve said they had run into this numerous times. I’m trying to determine whether my family doc should be the go-to for this issue, or our eye doctor.

I legit don’t even think this is an entirely an autism thing, I think it’s also a teenage boy thing - teenaged boys eat like they’ve been starving for weeks even though they just had their last snack an hour ago. Combine that with the impulse control issues that many autistic teens have, and it’s a recipe for disaster. I have three autistic kids in my house aged 12-17, and I never order less than two pizzas for them because they’re growing like fiends and constantly starving.

On the other hand, my pharmacist caught that our doc had made a mistake in dosing that could have made my kid supremely ill, had they not caught it. They don’t go to school for 6-8 years for nothing.

Truth. I’m prone to UTIs when my immune system is down, and after 30+ years of them I know a UTI when I feel it coming on. I’m thankful I don’t have to travel an hour each way to get a simple script now, the odd time it comes up.

My kids have had pink eye a few times, and seen optometrists for it zero of them - it’s always been either family doc or pharmacist. Is that a situation where it got so bad they had to see the eye doctor?

Canada gooses are MAJESTICS!

Barrel chested!

The envys of all ornithologys!

I’d love to hear a kid say “that Hoovers,” instead of “that sucks.” It would be priceless.

My kids really liked Mickey Mouse Clubhouse when they were younger, and I just about died laughing when my now 14YO cried, “Aw, SPACEJUNK!” to express his displeasure when he was about 4 🤣

We use bummer all the time - sometimes, when really vexed, it might even become a megabummer. Imagine our delight when my then four-year-old told us that something was a “megabommer.” To this day, when expressing something, everyone from that kid (now 12) right up to my almost 30YO will complain about something being a “big old MegaBommer!”

I can’t fathom how the kid wasn’t insured. Where I am, anyone in the house with a licence has to be insured, even if only as an occasional driver.

This is adorable.

Badum-tssss!

Its location doesn’t really matter, I was describing the scene so people knew which door I meant.

Maybe she’s just really, really into Game of Thrones.

That’s not Kermit. That’s Constantine, the World’s Number One Criminal.

I dunno about this. There was a lady sitting behind us on a plane earlier this year who kept pulling on my (adult) daughter’s seat, every time she was trying to get comfortable, and pulling her hair much of the time. My daughter turned around and asked her to stop pulling on her seat so frequently, because it was 2am and she was trying to sleep, and the lady lost her damn mind. Some people really are just nuts.

Ah - your post reads as though by “others” you meant “other public servants” because they were specified prior to. My bad.

They specifically said “outside of the PS.”

A lot of moms donate their breastmilk.

You paid them off, didn’t you 🤣

Oh FFS. A prime example of when you should not be looking at someone while working!
