Have any of you seen any signs of autumn (or spring) yet?

Honestly, I'm already sick and tired of hearing about Fall and Halloween. September will be here and I'll wanna punch people in the face because they'll try to shove Fall and Halloween down my throat. Summer's not even done so shut up and sit down.

My mother has a birthday on halloween.

Even on the years we don't celebrate halloween we try to make it a special day for her

moon August 29th, 2021 5:41 AM

Haha, Halloween is growing bigger here every year... Except for last year! Since there were no Halloween parties due to the pandemic fear, not many bought Halloween stuff from stores and it was all just not really visible and then came the Christmas season heh.

I prefer to try to think of September as a summer month too for as long as I possibly can. The coming week here will have 21 C for the last days of August and then ca 17 C as September rolls in and while that's certainly not 27 C like some June weather was, it's still possible to walk outside without a real coat, as it will be sunny all week. Summer clings on <3

Sothis August 29th, 2021 4:28 PM

I like the aesthetic of Halloween but as an adult, I obviously can't get much else from it.
Candy though.

And aww I bumped into a few kids from my work in the local supermarket and they asked me if I could be their teacher this year. Awwwww!! <33.

Megan September 7th, 2021 10:27 AM

I'm no good with children or adults. And I'd probably need a lot of practice before being able to do proper teaching, because I have a hard time explaining stuff.

I imagine you turning up in a military outfit and pulling up the blueprints of a super market building for general tactical teachings.

VisionofMilotic September 7th, 2021 10:38 AM

I like kids. Not sure if they like me, I'm kinda corny, but I have a spot for the most vulnerable of our society, children, the elderly, sick, disabled and pets. I also tend to be calm and patient with those who need help or have questions they would like explanations to.

ReKoil September 7th, 2021 11:51 AM

Depends on the type of kid for me. I get headaches easily when there's loud noises. Kids tend to be loud and energetic.
Though I guess that technically means I dislike the headache that comes along with most kids rather than disliking kids themselves 🤔

moon September 7th, 2021 12:16 PM

kids are v scary

Caite-chan September 7th, 2021 12:37 PM

Megan September 8th, 2021 9:15 PM

Seems like the German elections have taken a liking to the US election system. Lots of red scare, lots of empty promises and the likes. I mean empty promises are a given in any election but this time they don't even try telling us how they want to implement things. But hey, at least we know that the party that isn't currently ruling but is probably going to rule the next four years is going to destroy the country with communism!

But I guess you need to go that low when your only asset (Angela Merkel) isn't going to do politics, anymore. Also, that party is very questionable, has been for years and they could really need a break. Preferably in the opposition. Meanwhile someone has to do all the work that has been lying around for many years.

Meanwhile our Nazi party and racism is gaining more and more ground. But let's just ignore them. The left is way worse!!!!!!!

Sothis September 8th, 2021 9:40 PM

Well, to be fair, the AfD is trending down from the last election, polls show it doing a couple of points worse... so it'ds hard to argue that they're gaining ground. Not to mention that if they continue their drift naziwards, the Constitutional Court might very well ban them.

Also I laughed a lot today when the CDU said that Olaf Scholz would destroy the EU if he wins. Like, legit lol.

It is illegal. And "fascism hiding behind right wing rethoric" is probably more fitting than that. That is not to say that we don't actually have parties comprised of neonazis. There is one party who somehow managed to get past all the prerequisites of participating who put up those posters that said "hang all the green party people". And knowing how these people think, you as well replace "green party" with "jews".

It's actually quite sad: the green party had a big chance at getting the office this year. But then all the lobbying groups, right wing advocats and the rainbow press did a bunch of work to frame them as the big oppressors who only want to forbid everything and get rid of freedom and whatnot. <_<

Yeah. Unfortunately, as much as you know they're neo-nazi's, you'd need hard evidence which would be difficult.
I have a suspicion that the conservatives will win here, they've already won in this province. Just what we need, more health and social cuts.

pkmin3033 September 12th, 2021 6:17 AM

Ah yes, the Conservatives. Robbing from the poor to give to the rich.

Sothis September 12th, 2021 3:04 PM

Healthcare here is already a joke! Especially mental health, they don't even treat you, they just refer you to outside lessons. Children's care is way better, which I don't mind, children need it, but when they become adults they will no longer have the care they need.

My step father was in hospital for a month and was never bathed. Homecare had to bathe him when he got home & I cut his nails. It's not the hospital's fault, I know, it's the government thinking adults don't need adequate care.

pkmin3033 September 13th, 2021 7:33 AM

Healthcare in this country is a mixed bag. Without the NHS I wouldn't be able to afford the prescription I need to live because the cost of my medication is terrifyingly astronomical from private suppliers (it'd cost me about £300 a month, whilst on the NHS I pay £10.59 per month) but I wouldn't even consider seeing an NHS dentist or mental health services again. The NHS dentist wanted to send me to hospital for a tooth extraction, and I suffered for 4 years with a misdiagnosis when I was seeing mental health services...something that still affects me now, honestly. To the point that I can't even talk to my GP about my mental health for fear he'll want to send me back there and I won't be able to do anything to prevent it. I find it amusing that despite the general pride in the NHS a lot of people here still use private healthcare.

This country's idea for social care now is to excessively tax the people who can least afford to pay. Which is super.

Caite-chan September 13th, 2021 1:14 PM

America's health care is a joke and I don't see us fixing it any time soon. Pay out the ass just to get the simplest things done.

Sothis September 15th, 2021 3:02 PM

Here, healthcare is administered by the provinces, as is education. As such, the care and education you receive in one province will differ from others.
I got this first hand when I moved to Ontario. Being a maritimer, they all thought I was less intelligent and treated me like I didn't understand anything. I was constantly signaled out and it was frustrating. That changed in college though, as I'd been a citizen from the start.

Moving back to NS, I'm actually wondering if my Ontario college degrees will translate.

moon September 16th, 2021 8:06 PM

i just had to pay veterinary bills for rather simple investigations, and the steep sum of it made me really appreciate basically having to pay nothing for human health care

Sothis September 16th, 2021 8:40 PM

I think the government should cover dental too.
The teeth are important, and overly infected teeth can lead to blood poisoning. Happened to a friend of mine 10ish years back.

moon September 17th, 2021 9:55 AM

yea i don't think taxes cover dental here once you've turned 18. but before that, iirc it's actually 100% free? something near-free at least.

Sothis September 17th, 2021 10:17 AM

Yeah, it's free for kids here, which is good! But adults still have teeth :c

~Dill~ September 17th, 2021 10:44 AM

I'm so so grateful for the NHS. And my dentist is lovely but sadly expensive :(.

Sothis September 17th, 2021 12:43 PM

UK healthcare sounds better than ours at any rate.
Hospitals stopped giving life saving treatments/surgeries, so the death toll is going to be huge.

Starlight September 19th, 2021 9:22 AM

UK healthcare is wonderful, until it isn't. They are very stretched with the resources the government give them, but even then, the NHS can be extremely discriminatory to certain people.


Anyway... how are you lovely forum peeps? I hope life is treating you all well 😊

If I could set fire to the Wal Mart by me I would. I hate it with a passion. I was looking for Thorne 2 a day and I had to buy it off of Amazon.

Sothis September 21st, 2021 12:28 PM

We can't order off amazon, the delivery workers don't have access to our mail boxes so packages get stolen regularly. Can't wait till we move.

It's just ridiculous if you ask me. We're going to keep making the same simple mistakes over and over again because we are to stubborn to make simple changes for the good.

Sothis September 22nd, 2021 12:01 PM

The people who say "this generation takes offense to everything" are the same ones who take offense to the smallest things like being asked to wear a mask or seeing a gay couple on TV.

ZeoStar September 22nd, 2021 12:48 PM

I hate the term 'snowflake'. It's obnoxiously used in political disagreements and has little to do with anybody actually being offended.

Sothis September 24th, 2021 3:02 PM

I find snowflake isn't used much any more. Instead they're saying it's just younger people in general but I know a good amount of people here, some in their 30's, would disagree with such a mindset.
