The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care offers a free service that gives you access to a registered nurse to answer your questions and to give you advice. My dad and I called this service on a Sunday night at 11pm over the long weekend. A nurse answered the call within half a minute. We had questions regarding Tylenol, amoxicillin, and some symptoms. During the confidential call, the nurse was clear, understandable, and very polite. She offered us two options: (1) answer our questions about medication or (2) proceed with an over-the-phone assessment of the symptoms. We opted for the assessment and asked questions about the medication afterwards. She was knowledgeable and knew about all the drugs that we talked about. She went through the assessment and provided some sound advice. All our questions were answered and I hung up the phone as a satisfied caller. For those who are seeking medical advice, this service is available 24/7. If it isn’t a medical emergency and you have a question, I highly recommend calling Telehealth Ontario to take advantage of this wonderful service.Link for more information: Telehealth Ontario

I purchased a new pair of shoes. No, it’s not a cross-trainer. I have successfully sacrificed practicality for style. I will be wearing these with a pair of stonewashed, relax fit Levi’s and a polo top. In honour of this purchase, I spent 20 minutes and made this video:
- Video Friday: Most Realistic Robot EverMay 16
-
This week on Video Friday, this is the most realistic robot that I have ever seen. It even has speech functionality, which is showcased at the end of the second video. The robot, named Magibon can perform complex human-like movements. Watch and see for yourself!
Magibon
Okay, so she isn’t a robot, but she still receives millions of views with those thumbnail previews of her videos on YouTube. This confirms the idea that looks matter. It must be the potent halo effect!
- Petro-Canada Mobility Nokia 1208 ReviewMay 15
-
Recently, my brother bought me the Nokia 1208 from Petro-Canada. I figured that I don’t need a monthly plan because I don’t like monthly fees, which cost at least $25 from most providers. I went with prepaid because I don’t use the phone often. I compared many prepaid services and I figured that Petro-Canada Mobility was best. Why?
Service Review
- they have many locations for purchasing additional prepaid minutes
- phones are practical and inexpensive; nothing fancy
- $20 and $50 prepaid minutes expire in 180 days (~6 months) [Most service providers require frequent top ups]
- $100 prepaid minutes expire in 365 days (1 year)
- minutes carry over
- good rates at $0.20/min for local calls and $0.30/min for long distance (I move to Waterloo every four months for school and will use the phone)
- rates are cheaper than pay phones on the street, which cost $0.50 per call
- includes call waiting, caller ID, voice mail, three-way calling, and text messaging ($0.05/message incoming and outgoing)
- Rogers GSM network
- Very easy to activate and use
There are some disadvantages when using Petro-Canada Mobility:
- per minute charges (not per second), it gets rounded up
- can’t choose a number
- you get charged for incoming text messages (it’s horrible)
- you get charged ($0.20/min) when checking voicemail because you have to dial out, but you can also
