Feb.02/12 when I went to Tim Horton corner @ Abbott N West Pender one of the cashier there needs more TRAING and she shouldn’t over charge the costumer sorry I am not a races person she is an east indian lady.

Yes. I spent the worst night of my life last night writhing in pain for 7 hours after taco night. I told my husband that for those 7 hrs. i felt like an alien was trying to escape from my rib cage. I have 2 kids and labor at least gave me a couple minutes of releif between contractions. I thought i was having a heart attack, vomiting, the const/diar/gas, and CHILLS. Like the cramps would hit and when they subsided i had cold chills everywhere. This was my first attack.I was so scared. I would dose off and 30 min later i was jolted awake by pain.My daughter was sleeping in the floor at the end of me and my husbands bed because she was scared and when she seen me rolling in the bed and whimpering she got up and went back in her room because i was scaring her.It was miserable. I had to call in to work. My stomach is so sore. To the touch. Is this gonna keep getting worse? All the women in my family have had their gallbladder removed. Any advice?

My ultrasound report says that I have “sludge and small stones” in my gallbladder. I guess I had gallstones for the last 5 years or more but I never knew. Two years ago I went to ER because I had a small kidney tone in my right kidney that was stabbing my right kidney. They did CT SCAN and told me that I will pass that small stone that same day, that I did. I passed a small stone (size of a grain) in the urine. I urinated on the stainer and the stone was there. My CT SCAN said that I had stone in my gallbladder too that I was unaware off. I never had any symptoms. Now after two years, I feel mild poking in my gallbladder due to that small stones. I DO NOT WANT MY GALLBLADDER TO BE REMOVED. I want to treat this with herbal supplements. DO YOU KNOW ANY HERBAL SUPPLEMENT TO DISSOLVE AND FLUSH OUT THESE SMALL STONES? I am asymptomatic: NO VOMITING, NO NAUSEA, NO SEVERE PAIN, ONLY ONE 15 MINUTES ATTACK WITHOUT VOMITING IN JANUARY,2012.

I beg to differ, the Dominion Building is an “ugly colossus”; in fact it may even be qualified as an ugly, stalinist colossus. On the other hand the Holman Grand is vast improvement over what was there before. Life is incremental.

New cup sizes too confusing. You order a medium but get a coffee with a lid that says large. It use to be so easy. Large double double and that is what you got. You should have called the new size (jumbo, grand or giant) and left everything as it was before.

Hi. I take the bus to QEH very often to work. I found it was inconvient to call the office for the schedule every time that I need to be there. Is it possible to post the schedule on the website? Is there a bus on Saturday to QEH? Can you let me know the schedule, please? Aother thing is that I live close to superstore and the first bus starts in the confed center at 0645. I have to walk to the confed first to cath the bus. Is it possible to have a bus from superstore at that time? Thanks. Alice

How’s your funding? Are you ready for new donations toward materials and postage–and is your PayPal account still up and running?

…love the soundtrack, Peter!

I find it curious that this isn’t posted on the website! It exists as an internal document. I guess it stems from old-school corporate culture.

I’d love to have one sent to me. Is it possible to get on the mailing list for these/are you sending them out?

Oh good. I hope I will qualify for one that says “part time Islander.”
