Dieppe Boys and Girls club craft sale

Hi all,

There is a small craft sale going on at the Dieppe Boys and Girls club with some tables profits going right to the club (with others that paid to the club to be there).

Sale is open until 4PM on Sat, Nov 9th. Come out and support the boys and girls club! The better they do, the more likely to have another one next year!

Has anyone had a tubal ligation reversal in n.b? What was the cost? Did you need a doctor referral?

Radon mitigation

Moving into a bungalow soon in Fredericton where the previous owners did long term radon testing about 5 years ago. The radon levels were around ~160, which is below the 200 threshold but not by a lot.

Curious if anyone has had radon mitigation recently and would recommend any company in particular? Ballpark cost would be helpful for anyone willing to share!

Thanks!!

ADHD medication without a doctor?

Just wondering how other people without doctors are getting their medications around the province.

I originally went through beyond ADHD earlier this year and they are great, it seems they are the only existing option if you want to surpass the many years long waitlist for psychiatric evaluation in NB for adults. Very grateful for them. However, I'm struggling to see myself continuing to pay 70$ a month for a follow up in addition to my medication costs. I know it's not much, but I can't help but be frustrated at the fact that there's no where that I can get this renewed that takes my Medicare.

Other than them, I'm not really sure where else one can get their prescription renewed sans doc. There are no walk-in clinics within a 120km radius to me, only my local county hospital, which I already try to use as little as possible granted I need to go in for anything at all that maple can't handle since... No doctor. I understand why the follow up is necessary, but at what point is it ok to just take the prescription and diagnoses letter to someone else that can see me under my Medicare instead?

For the cost in gas it takes for me to get to a walk-in, I might as well just do a beyond ADHD follow up. That's where I'm stumped. Navigating healthcare in a rural community without a doctor isn't something I'm unfamiliar with, but getting this specific prescription is a painful process. There is no local health clinic I can just walk in near me. Only the ER.

Regardless, is there somewhere in either Fredericton or saint john that would take me as a remote location patient or something under medicare? How does it work for walk-ins if you're from a rural community without one? Can you go? I've had no luck with maple and have been told by multiple sources that they can't prescribe controlled substances anyway.

Just seeing if I have any other option than paying monthly for an appointment for at least half a decade. If I have to pay for follow ups I will find a way to make it happen... such is the Maritimer way. Not much of a choice.

TYIA!

Lesbians of NB I summon you

I’ve lived in this province my entire life, but have zero lesbian or bi girlies in my life. The dating apps are super dead and I rarely get matches. Where are y’all meeting each other?? If there’s any meetups, events, and/or groups or communities in person or online, please let me know! I live in Miramichi, but love a good road trip in my free time. I’m dying for some connection whether it be romantic or platonic. Just need someone to talk to about gay shit!!! TIA <3 😚

Hopewell Rocks

Hi everyone,

We're planning a trip this weekend to Hopewell Rocks and noticed that Google Maps says it's closed. Has anyone visited recently or can confirm if this is accurate? We were really looking forward to it, so trying to make alternate plans if necessary.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Anyone know an insurance company willing to just insure small assets?

Renting in SJ and no current insurance, but own a plot where we hope to build out towards Pocologan - it's a pretty safe area and we're not that worried, but because we have to leave an old (not valuable) RV out there, generator, power tools, garden shed, greenhouse, etc...wondered if it was possible to insure it at all?

Looking at like maybe 10k value all-told.

Solar

Has anyone installed solar panels? If so, do you find them worthwhile? Why? What if anything surprised you or that you wish you’d known beforehand?

What kind of maintenance is required and how much does that cost typically?

Also… What company did you use? Would especially value information about Xolar.

We are very seriously considering taking advantage of the govt zero interest loan. We have a metal roof (installed a few years ago).

We average 1700kwh monthly with the biggest month being 2996.

Thanks in advance for your input and feedback.

Smart meters

Would someone explain to me why the tin hat police seem to be up in arms about NB Power and smart meters? I really don’t understand what has gotten people so worked up and I feel like there is a lot of false information out there.

How much does student housing cost

Planning for when my daughter potentially lives in Saint John, NB for uni. How much do you pay for off-campus housing and how many people do you live with? How hard was it to find accommodations?
