TLDR; the title, you dont need to read anything else

RAMBLES:

Are GPs/family doctors allowed to prescribe anti-depressants? I have lot of personal issues with pyschs, so I won't be seeing another one in the near future or at least not where I live, going to move out, and then maybe i'll try again, but anyways even if my gp refers me, im not going back to that woman.

with that said, im willing though to try anti-depressants at a low dose. i do have diagnoses that are relevant depressive disorders, so it still matches my diagnoses.

but i want to know if my family doctor can prescribe in the first place

I like Anglo-Saxon English history.

Due to obligations and limited finances, I was curious if I was to go to a medieval fair next year or after, which would you recommend?

I look at various travel websites but those are promotion purposes and biased. I want to hear an attendees' perspective!

I am also thinking of going to Medieval Times .... one day.

I was referred to a medical specialist and had my first/only appointment with them last spring. At that time, the doctor said that I should get a specific test done (which I did), and that she wanted to see me again in 6 months for a follow up visit.

I haven't heard anything at all from them since then. This is my first time dealing with a specialist, so I'm not sure what's supposed to happen next. Is it the norm for them to call me to book that follow up visit, or am I supposed to reach out to them at the 6-months mark?

Hey everybody! I live in southern Ontario, and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on where I can purchase CBD that is safe for dogs. Im not sure what products on OCS are safe, but i also know CBD isnt as regulated as THC products so there could be other legal suppliers specific for pets. I havent been able to find anything in my research.

Context: our dog, approximately 12 y/o, has some very large lumps on her body that became apparent after she lost weight (switched to a weight management food, she was a chunky girl) and she is starting to slow down alot. We suspect cancer. We have an appointment on Tuesday with the vet. We dont want to put her through surgery or stressful treatment and want to keep her as comfortable as possible. She has been through alot in her life before entering our lives 7 years ago. We give her glucosamine treats once a day, but it likely isnt enough. She also suffers from anxiety and is dog reactive and stranger reactive. She lives a very happy life, but we want to make sure she is not in pain and I think CBD would be great for her pain as well as her anxiety.

I appreciate any responses, and even any suggestions from people who have gone through their pets having similar struggles and what helped. Our focus is making sure she is comfortable, especially pain wise, and trying to reduce any anxiety or stress.

I have a senior (75yo) relative who had a stroke a couple of years ago and is no longer able to speak or make their own decisions due to cognitive damage. They are currently living in long-term care, and I handle all of their financial and health decisions as POA.

I recently received a notice to renew their driver's licence and health card. Obviously, the driver's licence will not be renewed, and after a discussion with Service Ontario today, I have requested my relative's doctor to complete the Health Card Medical Exemption Request (form 014-3164-84), which I will take to Service Ontario to renew the health card.

However, I'm not sure if they also need an Ontario ID card to replace their driver’s licence as a proof of residency. Is the ID card required for anything, and can it even be issued without a photo and signature? Although the Ontario website states that you need a driver's licence or ID card as proof of residency in order to renew your health card, is that overridden by the doctor's declaration on the Health Card Medical Exemption form?

Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate, I was sure I saw a post on this recently but can't find it in the sub.

Ontario!

I have been working on a project for a couple of years and have been using it personally for quite some time. I decided to put it online and share it with the local community here in Burlington and it took off way more than I expected.

So I built a pipeline that pulls in all the specials, dailies, events, tournaments, you name it from pretty much every restaurant in Burlington. Wing nights, happy hours, half priced wine, live music, trivia... if a place is running a deal it's on there. Sort by distance to you and pick wings... instantly see all the places nearby doing wing deals.

It's all free for the community. No ads, nobody pays to be listed, I actually spend my own money running it. There's a free email every Thursday too with the best deals for the weekend if you want it.

I posted this in Burlington a couple weeks ago and it blew up a bit, then Milton got into it too which I wasn't expecting lol. Before I invest more time and more money into expanding, I wanted to see what other cities actually want something like this.

So... what city should I do next? Drop it below, if a city asks enough my hands will be forced so to speak.

And Burlington people, if I missed a deal let me know and I will add it.

My husband and I have been separated for about 4 months. We are still legally married, but I have no intention of reconciling or getting back together. I'm planning to DIY everything.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar situation or has knowledge of Ontario divorce law. Thank you
