  • Isn’t there also a “buy Canadian” movement in Canada?

    I can be worried about more than one thing.

    …it’s a much easier message for politicians to rationalize.

    I get what you said in the unquoted part, but maybe it’s just me. Buy Canadian is less rational than pointing out from whom not to buy, on account of how nationalistic it sounds. At the risk of sounding all slippery-slope about it, I don’t want to go down the road of nationalism.







  • No way.

    I received opiates after abdominal surgery only after I explained why my pain level was only stated as a 3 or 4 out of 10, if 10 was “The worse pain [I] could possibly imagine.”

    2/10 is manageable temporarily but not chronically.

    3/10 was the limit where I could hide it. It requires a lot of energy to maintain composure.

    4/10 was where movement was restricted.

    I can’t quite remember what five and six were.

    7/10 means I can’t form complete sentences uninterrupted.

    8/10 means I have mostly lost the ability to communicate and I begin to hallucinate.

    9/10 means I am unable to understand where I am or what’s happening to me. It’s around this point where I have blacked out.

    Never ask someone with a healthy imagination to work on a scale where the limit is the worst they can imagine. Besides, is the scale linear or logarithmic?
