- Since 6:30, there have been 7 outages in the Simpson area. The first was bad - 5 consecutive power cycles. Down for ten minutes. Then brief interruptions for a few minutes every hour or so. I'm also on Bell, and I thought it was slow, but it turned out to be an iPhone issue. I had to go into settings and turn off wifi completely to get it to work. Since I did that, Bell has been fine.

Post summary:As we enter another busy week, take a moment to think of those in our community who may be carrying burdens we don't see. Some are facing health challenges, financial stress, loneliness, grief, uncertainty, or just the weight of trying to keep it all together. Others may be caring for loved ones, looking for work, struggling in relationships, or dealing with situations that feel overwhelming. If you're a praying person, please keep them in your prayers this week. If prayer is not your thing...

We often don't express our worries or struggles, but bottle them up and continue our day, which can be hard, but we do it anyway.

5. Waldhof community seeking support （ 40 ｜ 22 ｜ 9）
Original title:Waldhof Community looking for Support
Post summary:The small community of Waldhof, between TBay and Winnipeg, has been having issues with its community hall. They discovered that the local school board actually owns it, even though it hasn't maintained it (or even knew about it), and now the community is trying to gain ownership of the hall they've maintained and used for decades. They keep getting stonewalled by the board and politicians, so they're trying to raise awareness and get public support.

Original title:Brw wtf ThunderBay Regional
Post summary:I had a terrible experience at the Regional Health Centre. My friend had a panic attack, and we rushed her to the hospital. The front desk staff took all the details and made us wait while she was struggling to breathe. She was almost unconscious and having difficulty breathing. When the front desk approached, they told her to encourage breathing. After 30 minutes, they called her in, and a few minutes later a doctor came in to care for her. The patient asked for water, so I went to find a nurse...

Are you ok? - There are many water bottle refill stations and fountains in the hospital. As you said, the nurses are busy, and you already knew that. There are several fountains, you just need to look. Also, your friend should learn to lie in the recovery position and breathe during a panic attack. That's not a reason to go to the hospital. They can't do anything about it, and it will be considered minimal attention. Because even if they seem to be breathing abnormally, it's not a physical breathing problem but a true psychosomatic issue. They might feel... (6)

- Actual local heat pump experience (not the water heater type, but related). In 5 years, there were 2 times when it got too cold here for the heat pump to keep up, and I had to resort to backup heat. Local HVAC folks also told me they don't work in this climate, but they were clearly completely wrong. I guess the hot water version would work fine 99% of the time, but you're unlikely to find any local supply or installer. Anyway, your safe bet would also be as efficient as possible, which would...
