Sales have softened, and I am sure prices will follow. I am seeing more price reduced signs being added to the realtor signs in front of houses.

Well, you'll be in Trumpland in the future anyway, so less to worry about.

I wouldn't put it past him to wangle the necessary change. He's already 'hinted' at it and would likely consider it in America's interests.

Don't give them ideas.

I seem to remember a farter on OTT (TISWAS for adults)....although thinking about it more, maybe it was on the James Whale Show?

Have you seen your doctor yet rather than sefl diagnosing? B12 would cover some of these things but blood tests would reveal your levels, plus you need to find out why it's low.

I had something similar last week, got dizzy, fell over, had to attend a series of meetings with people from out of town with a fat lip and carpet burns all up my face. A number of ribald remarks about rug burns ensued. Went to the doctor on the weekend and had an EKG, a cat scan, blood work, a heart monitoring session the whole business. Best to get it all done before Doug Ford abolishes hospitals.
Oh he wont abolish them just the clinical staff and patients. Hope your feeling better soon

I find I get more bacterial lung infections in Canada vs when I lived in the US, but could be the fact I am older here vs there so not as young and healthy...

I find I get dizzy often when standing up, vision goes for a second or 2 and I have to hold a wall or something to balance. Doctors can't find no medical problem and doing a search seems somewhat common, but apparently those who experience such symptoms when standing are higher risk of heart failure later in life, but I figure my heart is going to kill me, killed just about every male in the family thus far.
MS stats are high for the UK too
"Prevalence rates vary around the UK. Based on the figure of 107,000 people with MS, it is estimated that the number of people with MS in England is around 164 per 100,000; in Wales about 138; about 175 in Northern Ireland and as high as 209 in Scotland. Prevalence in the north of Scotland is particularly high."
Isn't the dizzy when standing up am tall eorsom thing? A head rush? My husband often gets that and it's worse if he holds his breath when standing up.
The heart.kills all of us eventually

Yesterday we received our 2 x $25 Loblaws cards issued as supposed compensation for buying overpriced bread in the past. Normally I wouldn’t waste my time and energy even applying, but the fact that I can turn them over to the local Food Bank or buy food for the Food Bank and help someone out, made applying worthwhile.
