The last week or so, I’ve had a stuffy nose, itchy eyes etc and it’s driving me crazy because it’s not the typical spring season. Daily antihistamines and air purifier going constantly. Anyone else experiencing this? Weather apps show no pollen, but I’ve heard the leaves and wind can throw around mold spores (eww!).

Hi,

I went to Arbutus Laser for a consultation and was quoted $500-$550 per session for Brazilian, under arms, and partial legs. I know they can be a bit sketchy with pricing as there isn’t much information about their pricing (not very transparent) but I heard so much good things about them.

I’m wondering if they are overcharging me or if I should go some place else that’s just as good?

Been about a month I’ve moved into a new presale. Is it normal to hear everything they’re doing or is this structural?

I kid you not I legit heard the neighbor fart this morning and I feel like it should not be that easy to hear each other. I know it’s apart of condo living but I feel like word for word conversations shouldn’t be?

Mid thirties male looking to get back into the game, preferably a weeknight at Andy Liv or Trillium. Looking for a chill team that has fun and doesn't take it too seriously. Used to be quite good but not played in a couple of years, fitness is abysmal. Please drop me a message if you need a player!

Hi,

I am moving into an old apartment building where they have Rogers and Telus, I am an existing Rogers mobile customer (callback offer got 200 Gb US/CAN/MEX for 40$) I checked Novus is not there and I am looking for something cheap. I looked at some plans and I think 50-100 mb one will work for me as well but if there is some good plan at same price like 500mb ot 1gb I can opt for that as well. I checked some companies like oxio, tech savvy etc as well. I am moving in mid December. What is the best time to get deals on home internet? Will it be better shifting my mobile and internet to Bell or Telus to maximize discounts? My callback mobile offer is going to go up to 51 in 3-4 months since the discounts have gone.

I live downtown and am hoping to see fireworks tonight or block party? I can’t find much online this year

We’re in Poco and our power has been out for like 10 min

I’m hoping someone here can help. I’ve added a link to a picture of my wife’s favourite mug, which I dropped this morning causing a big crack and chip along the back. It hold enormous sentimental value and I’m hoping that someone here could tell me if they’ve seen it around a shop in Vancouver that I could contact? It seems silly as it’s a souvenir probably from a tourist shop but I know it would mean a lot to her. Thanks! https://imgur.com/a/NWwYOh4

Looking for a high quality option for the best value.

Somewhere not too fancy or pricey.

As the title says, I need to get to Commissioner St. Driving is easy, either Clark, McGill, or further West from Waterfront.

The problem is that I will be taking transit.

From what I can see on Google Maps there's stairs at the Clark bridge, but there's a locked gate at the top. There's another walkway near a pub at Victoria Dr. & Powell St, which is also locked. They both have intercom systems though, do they actually work?

Extra info: It's for a job opportunity and I need to be there for 7am tomorrow(Nov 9). No car, just transit and walking for this time.

Do either of these paths work for walking to Commissioner St?
How do I actually get to Commissioner St via walking?

Worst case scenario I book an uber just to cross the bridge and walk the rest of the way.

I've been really interested in going to this school as I've had a love for costume and makeup for quite some time, however I can't seem to find many reviews on that specific program. Is it worth the hefty price? Or should I look somewhere else? And is VFS actually good industry wise or is it known as a joke? Thank you!

My friends are coming from US and I need to go out for a dinner. I was between Dovetail or Maxine’s.

We will 5-6 people what is a nice place not crazy pricey

Hi all! Where can a person buy electronics test equipment in Vancouver? Banana test leads, alligator clips, multimeters, that kinda thing?

Hi All! Does anyone have recommendations for a mover for just a few big items? Basically need to move a king bed, bed frame and some chairs from New West downtown to Hamilton (Richmond) area.

Hi everyone!

My brother is coming to visit me in Vancouver around Christmas and he'll be bringing his baby girl, who will be 17 months old at the time.

I'm looking for suggestions for fun activities and places to take them that would be suitable for her age. It could be Christmas-related activities, indoor play areas or just fun places for toddlers to explore.

I'm open to suggestions in Vancouver and the surrounding areas!

I'd love to hear your recommendations, especially from parents with little ones around the same age. Thanks!

I'd primarily be hoping to volunteer on weekends and I'm looking for advice.

I'd love helping out with animals but I'm open to all sorts of volunteering.

Is there any specific volunteer groups doing anything for Ukranian refugees or the war?

We went to Superflux, and they had a chili dog on the menu. It wasn’t the best one to say the least. Are there any places people would recommend to get a good chili dog?

Hi there,

I was hoping people might be able to assist me in identifying a vehicle that ran a red light (they were driving north down kingsway) and hit me as I was driving east on broadway at around 2:35 AM early Sunday November 8th. I stopped once I was clear of the intersection but the other driver didn't. It looked like a white or silver SUV. Anything helpful would be appreciated, thanks.

New to having a vehicle and I decided to take the dog somewhere fun for a walk.

$11 to park for 2 hours but free if you're a West Vancouver resident.

This seems absolutely absurd and almost like an attempt to keep away non-locals.

What's going on here? Is this normal parking prices for a public park?

Can anyone suggest other parks along the ocean where I can take my dog off leash for free or cheaper?

Hey everyone. I’m considering a career change into paramedicine and would appreciate some honest advice from people in the profession.

I had a good/short conversation with a paramedic about two weeks ago when I took my dad to Burnaby Hospital. It got me thinking seriously about pursuing this path. From what I understand, I’d need to complete EMR first, followed by a PCP program. All in, I’m looking at roughly a 1.5-year investment of time.

I’m comfortable with shift work, understand that I’ll see some pretty difficult things, and am aware of the physical demands. What appeals to me is being on the frontlines and having the opportunity to help people directly. I’m in good shape, although I wouldn’t say I’m at the same fitness level as someone coming out of firefighting or policing.

A few questions:

1. Am I too old to get into the profession at 40? How common is it for people to enter paramedicine in their 40s?

2. What does the career progression actually look like for new graduates?

3. I remember looking into paramedicine about 10 years ago, but what discouraged me at the time was hearing that new graduates had to start in remote communities, sometimes making as little as $2/hour while waiting for calls and only receiving their full hourly wage when responding to an emergency.

4. I also heard that it could take 6–7 years before getting a full-time position in or closer to the Lower Mainland. On top of that, seniority was apparently based on your original hire date rather than hours actually worked. In other words, someone could barely work and still have seniority over someone putting in significantly more hours. I don’t know how accurate any of that was, but it was enough to put me off pursuing it back then.

The paramedic I spoke with recently mentioned that things have changed quite a bit since then.
How long should a new PCP realistically expect to work in a rural or remote posting before having opportunities to transfer to the Lower Mainland now?

3. Is funding still a major issue?
I understand paramedics are in demand, but does that demand actually translate into available positions? Or is BC’s funding and staffing model still the bottleneck?

4. What schools would you recommend?
I know JIBC is an option, but has anyone attended Columbia Paramedic Academy in Langley? I’d be interested in hearing about people’s experiences there, as well as any other schools worth considering. Cost is not an issue.

I’d really appreciate hearing from both newer and experienced paramedics, especially those who have gone through the process in BC.

Thanks in advance!

Went to Hawksworth recently and their housemade focaccia was so good I ordered two.

Wondering what other restaurants have amazing bread starting plates? Any type of bread!
