When you hear something like that it puts everything in perspective doesn’t it?

Best wishes over the internet to you all.

Thank you everyone. The biopsy has been performed and the results will be here next week. They removed all the fluid from her lungs and she is on oxygen but still her lungs will not inflate fully. Will let you know when I do.

For her Rete.

I wish I could say something to ease your worry Rete, but there's nothing that will do that. I'm thinking of you my friend

I'd be more interested if it was the bridal path.

Also it doesn't specify if the Pot shop is a legal one. It seems in Toronto that drug dealing is an unpunishable norm and lots of people have made a killing with unlicensed stores.

That's why I like living in a condo with security. No unsolicited knocks although back in 2014 a girl I met in Hooters stalked me for a few weeks- that was scary.

Yes, hence why I mentioned that "what do you do for a living" is trending on TikTok -- so there are lots jumping on the bandwagon.. TikTok attracts the millenial generation

Keeping everything crossed for a good result Rete... hope she recovers well and quickly.

According to my Son, Millennials are too old for TikTok, that's for the Gen Z crowd

Gen x folk like me are still using internet forums where we have to type....Boomers are embarrassing their grand children on Facebook.

Our building in Vancouver had a locked front door, and cameras, that was the extent of the security, but the neighborhood troublemakers (mostly drug addicts) had no problem breaking in, hammer to glass was used a few times, crowbars to the front door too, really no way to stop someone determined to break in, without real life security guards around the place to stop it, but a 150 unit low rise can't afford 24/7 security.

Current building anyone and their mother can get in, front doors are unlocked but the geniuses that designed the place did so in a way where locking the stairwell doors would be a violation of fire rules so those doors are unlocked, so at this point I don't know why they even lock the front door....

Fingers crossed for you and your daughter, Rete. xxx

Security doesn't work in an apartment block even if there is a locked front door, and an intercom.

Someone wanting in just needs to hit a few numbers and they'll find a person who will be daft enough to open the door for them. Then they can get anywhere in the building.

Been there, lived in a block like that.


Plus ................ if your apartment door has an eye level peep-hole so you can see who is knocking on the door ............... that person outside can often see through into the apartment.

We once lived in an apartment that had a peep-hole like that, the bedroom door was right opposite the front door at the end of a short corridor. Another tenant told me about the problem, and added that the manager's husband sometimes looked through to see what was happening.

I didn't believe her, but did look through the peep hole myself, and yes it would be possible to see into the bedroom, just about, but not clearly .............. but you would certainly be able to see people moving from the bedroom into the bathroom or living area.
