Clinic Waiting Room WAIT Went On and On

Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada (INGRID NEWS) – Have you ever had to wait for an unreasonable length of time in a doctor’s office? It is so very annoying! Recently, I went to a clinic in Niagara-on-the-Lake. My family doctor moved away, so things were in the process of being shifted around. After I checked in, I waited for some time and then went back to the reception desk to see how things were progressing…I was then informed that their computer system was down and things were taking more time than normal. I then gave them my name again and the [ ... ]

Handicapped Wheelchairs are Inaccessible in Stores: Problems & Solutions

I am very upset… …at the inaccessibility of handicapped wheelchairs in stores. Problems: 1. You have to make your way over to a service desk to obtain a key to use the chair. 2. When you’re done with the chair, you have to return it back to the place where you got it from and walk to key back to the service desk. 3. Most of the wheelchairs are in atrocious condition. The leather seats are cracked. The armrests catch your clothing. They’re very dirty. Many of them make as much noise as a lawnmower. 4. The aisles [ ... ]

I Like to Change Glasses Frequently

Not only do I like to be stylish and wear different pairs of glasses for that reason… …but also, I get tired of the same ones sometimes. Some of my glasses are heavier than the other glasses frames, or they’re larger or whatever. That’s why places like GlassesShop.com and other online retailers are great because you get really trendy and fashionable glasses at discount prices – if I had to go to my optometrist every time I wanted new glasses, I would be paying at least $300 per pair – usually $400! For different activities, like reading, crocheting or working online, I [ ... ]

My Precious Pincess – The Miniature Schnauzer: Part #3

* This post is continued from My Precious Princess – The Miniature Schnauzer: Part #1 & Part #2. During the balance of my cancer treatments, Precious was constantly in my arms or on my lap… I even took her to my oncology appointments and she would sleep under my sheet with her “bony” during my Herceptin treatments. People didn’t even realize I had a dog with me…She was so good and quiet! As my feet and ankles are arthritic and walking is [ ... ]

Have You Heard of Zenni?

Did you see Zenni Optical in the New York Times?! The Times was speaking about how to save money on prescription eyeglasses and eye care, as we are in a serious economic crisis. Awesome advice there, by the way! I know when I recently purchased 2 pairs of glasses from my eye doctor, they were easily over$300 each for what I needed for my prescription and fashion tastes. NOT COOL! Then, my daughter found the Zenni Optical website, where they feature Prescription eyeglasses for only [ ... ]

My Precious Princess – The Miniature Schnauzer: Part #1

In 2005, I lost my husband to a very rare cancer and during the week of his death, I found that I too, had cancer. After 2 surgeries and during chemotherapy, I was so comforted by the constant presence of my dog Sugar (a poodle-Westie cross), and my daughter’s miniature schnauzer, Kaptain. During the course of my extended treatments, my daughter’s terrier family increased to include 2 miniature schnauzer puppies, Kurious and Knosey. During those endless months of chemotherapy, I was so very comforted by the love and attendance I received from these caring and entertaining dogs. As I [ ... ]

The capabilities of a woman’s body are miraculous. Every month holds a miracle! There [ ... ]
