@1MikeMorris They also make Frozen Yogurt in different flavours. Would you believe this: I'm caffeine sensitive++, aware of this from high heart rate reaction happening after drinking a lot coffee one day decades ago. They have a Chocolate Espresso Frozen Yogurt. Love it but usually only 1/2
@1MikeMorris have a few tablespoons each time as mix with Vanilla yogurt. One night over a month ago had a big bowl of it. Within 5 minutes my normal heart rate of about 68/min. jumped up to 120 beats per minute. As an RN (now retired) who worked in Critical Care, I know a lot about 2/3

Novavax update: Today I received a specific email from Sanofi about the Novavax vaccine for 2025 fall: named Nuvaxovid which targets a JN.1 strain. Quote: "Please note that we do not plan to bring Nuvaxovid® to the Canadian market for the upcoming 2025 fall season at this time."
The email stated the transition of the Novavax to Sanofi company in Canada is still ongoing. Perhaps once the transition is complete in the next weeks this June/July, there will be reconsidering of providing Nuvaxovid to Canadians. I have once again called the company to inquire

My update on Novavax inquiry with the Sanofi Pharmaceutical company contact # in Canada. This afternoon I made 3 1-800 calls. With the first at a general customer service #, she was not able to answer my questions; was transferred to a second person at a medical professional
inquiry # but after about 10 minutes, the call got disconnected. It happens sometimes. I then called back at the same # for the medical menu choice and had a good conversation with a male representative. He typed my four questions to be forwarded to the correct individual to

Novavax update of information: I just called long distance to the Novavax customer service (no 1-800 #) for information about supply possibly to Canadian and specificially B.C. Found out a few facts: The current Novavax vaccine is although not outdated is not the newer one
currently being developed for the fall of 2025. Whatever supply is 'out there' is the formula which was used previously. We have a new variant and I assume the new formula will be adjusted for protection from it. Also, the Novavax company & vaccine now has been absorbed by a new

@ItsColbyTime @ClayTravis As a Critical Care RN in both Paediatrics and Adult care over 34 years, I can say you are uneducated about aggressive cancers. Your assumption that annual checks will be sufficient for cancer diagnosis are unfounded. IF after testing, a mainly asymptomatic cancer begins, it 1/2
@ItsColbyTime @ClayTravis can then be undetected for those 12 months passing by. There are various types of cancers which are more aggessive than others of the same location. Some brain tumours with few symptoms can be lethal very quickly and others have dramatic symptoms like a seizure with detection 2/3

@SenAdamSchiff Senator Schiff, I am in Vancouver, Canada and am so glad I saw this video. However, it filled me with sorrow this conversation even has to be happening with your comments which I know are heartfelt. Over my lifetime so far, I've had many trips to the US States and made many 1/2
@SenAdamSchiff friends who I still am in contact with today. As now am a retired former Registered Nurse who worked in Critical Care Units, for nearly a year I worked in La Jolla as an RN. Your video reminded me of the morning of the unforgettable 9/11. I had that day begun a two week 2/3

@Dave_Eby @lisabeare Is there a law in BC protecting school students from teachers who in a deviant manner groom younger students? Read this and ask if police shouldn't have been called: nsnews.com/highlights/bc-…
In this article, this male teacher quit after NOT stopping his obsessive, deviant grooming behaviour after the school found out in 2021 BUT it was FOUR years later finally a decision is made to ban him from teaching for 5 years. Is that retroactively? So he can teach again next

@MarkJCarney I've raised a question with Elections Canada by phone and also at my Liberal MP's office today about why those voting for this upcoming election do not (and never have done) provide proof of Canadian citizenship. After all, if this is so, it is no problem proving it.
It has to be provided for any international travel and other important verification a citizen in our country. A driver's licence does not to this even though for most that is what is provided as ID. I'm certain there are many in multi-generational homes of immigrants some who may

@KirkpatrickWVC The apathy of the public is appalling. This an example. In about 2014, on a busy Sunday in Stanley Park, I was riding my bike near the Aquatic Centre and fell off the bike path (my own fault due to a muscle cramp in my upper back and it made me lose control of my bike) and 1/2
@KirkpatrickWVC airborne went off the bike path (I was peddling previously so going at a speed) and landed on the pedestrian path half under my bike on my side lying on the path. Thankfully I didn't hit anyone but it was a busy path that summer day. I was dizzy and so just lay still with my 2/3

@pv1004 @natalieben As a former Pediatric RN, now retired, I just read this article and am absolutely convinced this teacher and I suspect many others working at this group of schools are all sadists - the kinds who've abused children over decades. Interestingly, I was born in Hackney. 1/2

@KNugent4118 It is indeed but the reason for this happening is this: It is to ensure the security of this voting for the Liberal Leader is being done by those within Canada. It is indeed crazy. You also have to have the Canada Post #, which is a convoluted process. At the end of being 1/2
@KNugent4118 verified, we all thought that's it, done but on the bottom of that last page, there is a link to hit for a Canada Post connect. Then you have to folllow the directions there to get an email. In the email (a paper clip symbol by the addresses, not in the main email) is a PDF 2/3

@kathy_7 @EdKrassen Precisely. I don't know how much of the pre-WW II in Germany you know but Hitler was put in prison for his anti-democratic actions/speeches when Germany was democratic. When he was released he shifted his rhetoric and gathered up like-minded Nazi's to slowly take over the 1/2

@DENISE_RICHARDS I've been meaning to send a few comments about your appearance on the new show, Special Forces. Good for you signing up for this challenge but I watched a few of the episodes including the one where you were not able to continue. As a former RN, I had a few
thoughts with hearing of your abuse situation(s) in your past. You were in another situation of being powerless in a situation created by men. I kept thinking also how the other team members in the majority were men who you didn't know at all and had to live with closely.

@SharonBurnabyBC @ElaineCarol3 @TheTrueJasonM So tonight, chatting with a store manager of a Safeway, I talked to him about Covid. *He & all staff are not masked. Gave him some facts he didn't know about chance of Long Covid increasing with more infections. Also had no
understanding of aerosols difference to droplets and flu. Gave him one of my printed images about Covid & how to protect including wastewater analysis for BC Sept. as severe for Covid. I reminded him when he said he'd just had a booster how it isn't 100% protection. Then he tells

@astralopithekos @K3LLYB33N Yes, it astonished me when I found the statistic. Doubt they can do this now though as it's not as it was for the first immunization.

@weare_spartan @GeoffyPJohnston Your point being? What you fail to accept is a pandemic means the existence of what proved to be a deadly SARS virus killed over 28 million world-wide which spreads by invisible aerosols began in 2024 and continues.

This week on Wednesday, it will be another anniversary of the terrorist attack on the NYC Twin Towers which occurred on Sept. 11, 2001. For those younger adults who were born after 1990, the day is not etched in memory as it is for most of older adults no matter what country we
lived in. I had just that day begun a vacation from being an RN in a Recovery Room and was planning to stay near home for the one week off work. At just after 8 am I turned on Good Morning America and thought they were introducing a new action movie until I realized it was a live

@WaltLindsay1 @ireneteacher8 I disagree. Maybe for some but not all children. I was born in London, England and from age 4 - 6 attended school. At age 4, I was able to read story books for children. To be clear, they were not baby type books with one or two words. I'd been read to from them at an early 1/2

@ChiefPalmer I just wanted to comment after reading of the man who in downtown Vancouver in two different places stabbed strangers, injuring one and sadly killing the other. It's shocking and horrid for those family members to have to be notified of this happening to loved ones.
What also is horrifying to know the perpetrator had 60 engagements with VP previously. Obviously if any involved court appearances, this man was not incarcerated or committed to being in a psychiatric facility for a set length of time. Both were possible but I fear often it is
