Seeing a doctor for a sick note for a cold or flu is definitively not a great use of patient care. However if a patient has a medical appointment, why is it so hard to get a note on any scrap paper for an employer that says "patient should rest for x days then will be reassessed" due to surgery or "patient has x or y limitations / restrictions". No confidential information on it.

Feels like getting notes to support substantiated accommodations is difficult and a long process. Most doctors don't just write a simple note on a paper like a prescription for employers. That would be useful.

If anyone has any suggestions for apps for reading for little kids (kindergarten age) please let me know.

So far all the apps I downloaded aren't free.

So taxpayers paid over $103M on over 24 partisan advertisements.

That's a lot of money spent on ads that could have gone to services and improved Ontario.

Dow Jones is still up 6.21% over past 6 months, or 2.44% year to date, however you want to look at it.

You can see my deleted comment? Interesting!

Was that change for gerrymandering to get the NDP out?

I had no idea South Africa was like that. So none of this would be a problem if the economy was doing better.

That's a very hard situation.

On the plus side, I heard weed is easy to grow.

Out of curiosity, if you're comfortable sharing, why did you try to cut weed off? Are there negative side effects you're noticing?

Getting diagnosed is definitely useful. I'm assuming you don't have a workplace that has an EAP that provides counseling and such.

I love this app. So many activities to keep them occupied and quiet. Got my child playing the card match game this morning.

Free apps for kids (self.parenting)
 

Can we please recommend apps your kids enjoy? This could be games, painting or educational.

I prefer free apps which, preferably, are ok for privacy too.

Thank you for sharing!

 

I need to get this off my chest. School bus came early, and I was not there to get my child as the bus is usually late. There were vehicles which stopped for the bus, which waited for under 1 minute, then just passed the school bus all one after the other while bus was flashing and stop sign was out.

When I got my child, the bus driver was smiling and didn't say a thing about vehicles passing it. I'm sure they are used to it.

Nothing can be done. I'm just venting. I found out because a witness told me, so I checked the camera to see what happened.

So annoyed people are so impatient that they can't stop for a school bus beyond 10 seconds.

I often hear of people in work from home opportunities but I find them so rare to come across. What sites / resources do you use to find remote work opportunities? Which companies still do work from home?

Also please list the country the jobs are out of if you can.
