i heard this from radio in canada : the "big hurricane" at eastern coast of US weakens but may change to be powerful again, forecast to be heading to the direction of southern ontario on friday. if yes, will bring very heavy rainfall
Hello everyone,
I am a new member in this site. I used to working in hk and seldom come back to Toronto. But my husband would like me to have baby born here so I just came back to wait for baby born. (my hubby works in Toronto) My due date is NOV 22.
I have some stupid question wanna ask you guys.
Yesterday I went to the supermarket to check out if they have any "pregnancy napkins". But I just couldn't find one. I know the hospital provided that in the past but do they still provide it now?
If they don't provide it? Where can I find the pregnancy one? Any special thing I need to bring to hospital by myself? I know the hospital provides most of the stuff for new mother in the past but is it the same now?
Thanks!!
i don't think we have those pregnancy napkins here... u basically get the 'biggest/largest' pad... u know those that's for overnite and stuff. that's what i got anyways.
i'm in the west so can't answer u what the hospitals will provide in toronto and i would imagine each city will be different.
well, merry christmas!!
the snow stays longer than i thought and there's still snow on the greens and roofs. temp won't bounce back until this weekend.... :-x :-x
wow, snowing already!! I haven't talked to my mom this week. My parents live in Calgary.
Enjoy the snow.

I rather have snow than hurricane. Torontoian mom/dad, are you ready for the storm? It reminds me of typhoon in HK. Last night, after coming back from Procter and Gamble warehouse sale (Yeah, another one in Victoria Park/Sparks until Oct 5), I cleared up all my backyard. Hosts, BBQ, Propane ...
The hurricane knock out power to more than half a million homes in North Carolina and Virginia.
hihi,
Storm arrived this morning in Toronto.
It's not that bad. Actually it's weakened a lot already. But it keeps raining since this morning...I think the weather should be much better tomorrow.

I am just like you - missing the typhoon back in HK. The weather like this should have to stay home - no work at all.... and here still need to come to work.. how bad...
last night I went to no frill for shopping, so many people lined up for cashier.. so we end up without buying anything....
when the P&G are on sales, are they really cheap? i never went there before....
are they of family size (like cosco) or size that I could find from supermarket/drug stores?
