Here are a few other tips from a long time user:

This came at a great time! I was a happy keeper user for 13 years, and then I went on and procreated. With the keeper, I never thought about it, no leaks, no bs. Put it in, take it out, done.

Seriously, 13 years with a keeper. No pads, no leaking. Ever. I mean, I wore white shorts and didn’t even notice.

Why haven’t we cloned this guy yet? I can think of ten or twenty other cities that could use a mayor like him.

Few clinics, remote access, and not every government will pay. Prince Edward Island (the smallest province in size and population by a wide margin) doesn’t have a clinic, so you have to get off the island, and often pay. Vice covers it pretty well: http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/why…

Aside from time off for the appointment, no to everything else. Mind you, it’s pretty tough to get an abortion in the maritimes right now, so the fight still goes on...

I’m starting to wonder how much abortion tourism Canada will pick up from the USA. I’m sure some rich folks are already doing it - go to see aunt Gladys in Montreal for the weekend, get that pesky bun taken out of the oven - but with the Canadian dollar tanking, it’s potentially cheaper, plus no waiting period or…

$500 is also more than double the $200 bargin price I found (I know, I know, easy math...), but it’s actually worse than that because minimum wage here I think is significantly higher - well over $10 an hour. So as a percentage of income, it could be much worse. If I needed to raise $200 - $300 dollars for an…

Out of curiosity, can you tell me what expensive is in this context? I looked in my own ( Canadian) city about a year ago, and it was $200-300 without insurance. I get the $300 is a lot if you’re on welfare or living pay checque to pay checque, but it at least seems obtainable. Even from a predatory loan place. For…

I’ll just leave this actually good environmental hymn here:

Even newass houses can’t handle it. Still, I’m glad to hear you’re a responsible wipe user. Are you a unicorn?

You mean those not actually flushable wipes?

Easy to assemble indeed! I put it together myself while 8.5 months pregnant, even though there were two androgynous cartoon characters on the instructions!

Eggbeater kick is your friend. This is a descent tutorial. I always taught it by having a swimmer sit on the edge of the pool so they can feel the water with their feet. Then it’s just about getting used to the wax on, wax movement.

Bummer there isn’t an android one. I’m sure there’s something similar.

Yay creepy fitness sales people! Sadly, there’s no LA Fitness in my (CDN) city. Even the local YWCA doesn’t seem to have child care.

Thanks, I’ll give them a shot. Gaiam also has an subscription service I might try,

Any advice for those of us unable to attend a studio due to other obligations (ie childcare)?

We discovered ‘rain on a car’ from a white noise app. It’s a gift. Knocks my kid out cold.

Not work related, but in the midst of giving a family member a lecture about his shitty behaviour (sexist, racist, homophobic, generally disrespectful), he was sexist. As in:
