Peter,

In the Promos section, the new savings promo listing for Scotiabank should be amended to show the rate of 3.55% to 5% (or up to 5%) for first HISA (not necessarily new Bank customer).

Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated it to say "up to 5%" and also that it's on your first savings account.

Thanks, Stephen.
I know tools exist but, right now, it just seems like something else for my to-do list. Old dog, new tricks . . .

I would like to participate more but I just can't keep up. Vision remains a big issue....

Good to hear from you, Loonie and to know you are well. Have you tried any of the computer tools that can help impaired vision?

Warm regards,

Stephen

Great to hear from you, Loonie. You helped me a lot after I joined this forum ... was going to say "a few" years ago, but I checked an it was over 8 yrs ago. Unbelievable how time is speeding by.

my wife and I are dealing with an aging parent as well, she's 99. It is not an easy mission for sure.

All the best to you and your Mum ...

Thanks, guys. I think I'm blushing.

I'm still kicking and so is my very, very elderly mum (at least this week)!

I would like to participate more but I just can't keep up. Vision remains a big issue.

It's very nice to know that people benefited from some of my posts.

Thanks @gicjunkie, this was on my mind. I'll add my gratitude to Loonie for so much beneficial information, clearly and cogently expressed.

I messaged Loonie and got a reply. He is okay. He still has vision issues, but is very busy with other things now. He very much appreciates everyone's concerns, but just has different priorities now. Again, thanks for asking.

I remember clearly, maybe a year ago, Loonie did return to the forum. He said something like he was having difficulty getting a new computer that would address some of the communication problems he had. I think perhaps one he/she needed one that she could talk into. If you recall, he/she was having great difficulty with their sight. Never heard after that. Sure do miss his posts.

You mean they may have passed away / died ?

Or in a nursing home or suffering from dementia or blindness, etc.
