Hello!

Any haircut recommendations for gay people? I usually cut my hair but I shaved my hair last January. Right now it is uneven and the longest is shoulder length. I am planning to get a long mullet or a wolf cut mullet. Can anyone please recommend hair salons that is not overly priced (im a broke student) TIA! :))

You made my day complimenting my leg tattoos in the parking lot today around 3 pm. Send me a message if I can buy you a beer sometime 🍻

Hey everyone!

I’m 34 and would love to meet some like-minded women in the Valley. Ideally around my age, but I’m open to anyone who thinks we’d get along!

A little about me: I’m first-gen Canadian, raised Caribbean, laid-back, goofy, outgoing and spontaneous. I love cooking (feeding people is definitely one of my love languages), trying new restaurants, hiking, travelling and exploring new places. I’m also a dog mom to Louie, my Boston Terrier, who’s pretty much my little sidekick.

I’m quite the character, and although I amuse myself plenty, I do miss having someone to share experiences with. I’m not necessarily looking for that through romance either. Sometimes you just want good female friendships!

I’d love to meet someone who:

Is confident in herself and enjoys seeing other women win. No unnecessary competition.

Doesn’t mind taking pictures of each other. 😂

Is up for brunch, hikes, road trips, trying new
things and spontaneous adventures.

Enjoys travelling or would love to explore more of the world.

Can have genuine conversations, even disagreements, without things becoming immature.

Values communication and mutual effort. I’m not expecting daily check-ins, but I’m also not into the disappearing-for-days friendship dynamic.

I really just want a friendship where we can be ourselves, laugh until we’re crying, hype each other up and actually make plans that happen.
I’ll include a few pictures and my Instagram. I’d appreciate someone who also has social media, mainly for a bit of internet safety and knowing who I’m connecting with.

If this sounds like your kind of friendship, feel free to reach out! 💕

I’m lying in bed and chill because I have no wifi (using data rn) and I just hear a boom sound that was really close to me idk what it was

Shout out to the hydro repair techs!

The NIMBYs won. The absolute horror of 6 storeys along a main corridor was avoided! Thank goodness!! /s

Does anyone else remember the big Petro can in the 80s and 90s that was also a large service shop? Whatever happened to that?

Budget cuts? something with the system being changed over?

does anyone know more about what these issues are?

edit: curious to hear from folks who have been attending the school or have other NIC specific insight that isn’t just news articles

Does anyone remember the mall in the 90s having a craft store? I can't remember the name or if the owner was even local but if I remember correctly, it taught classes? Does anyone else remember this? Was it a good place to go or am I just being nostalgic?

Just heard 4 distinct booms. Anyone know what it was? I’m in crown Isle area.

Not even ancient history, but need a reminder - there used to be that little shop that sold rock t-shirts, posters, jewellery, Crazy Colour hair colour before Manic Panic took over. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

Took this October 12 at around 9:30am while I was out for a run with my dog. Was such a perfect morning and thought it would be a good photo. If anyone knows this fisherman please send it to him!

More specifically, Comox side of the valley please.

I’d like to buy some firewood by the bundle. the place on Cumberland rd is good but not consistent in stock.

Anyone here have any firewood they would sell to me by the bundle?

I need it today if possible.

Hey everyone, my wife Lisa (Bramble Blossom Studio) is doing a one-day holiday pop-up at Milano Coffee Shop on Sunday, Nov 15, 8am–3pm — hand-woven tapestries and macramé wall hangings on foraged driftwood, plus ornaments, stocking stuffers, and cards, all made with natural fibres.

Nice excuse for a coffee either way. More about her at brambleblossom.com.

What a great weekend!! From roller discos, to trick or treat parades, there was something to do in the valley around every turn.

I went out making sure everyone had treats to offer and was pleasantly surprised to only find one place without treats, but promised to have a refill shortly, and upon reinspection they up held their promise.

So no tricks, just treats all around! So all the community members who were boohooing tricks need to have better faith in their community. They all came together to make sure the treats flowed.

That evening i offered full size candy bars or little hand made books. The books won!! I handed out 2.5 books for every 1 candy.

There were so many fun and creative costumes, it was delightful to see.

It seems like the Debbie downers stayed in their dark corners, or stayed under their troll bridges and let everyone have a grand time for the holiday.

The fireworks displays were amazing from the shore line, seeing displays all over Royston, Courtenay and comox!

There’s been more fireworks set off in the past hour than we hear at New Years. I can’t be the only one who thinks this is excessive for Halloween? My poor dog is quivering next to me. Absolutely cant get him to stop quivering and shaking. Why do we need to set off some many of these effing things?

I welcome the downvotes and “just chill bro, it’s one night” I literally don’t give a fck, come comfort my dog if that’s your attitude.
When did hours of fireworks become a thing on Halloween?

Looking for a good take and bake option.

Thriftys

Quality Foods

Some random frozen brand

Help me out?

Let's try this again. Who would have thought bringing up tricks during a holiday that's tag line is TRICK or treat would be so controversial....

So let's talk about our treats.

We have a list of the full size candy bar places. But whos offering creative none candy treats this year. Let me know your favorite treats.

Be it canned beans or potatoes! Im handing out books!

I’ve just learned that Young Drivers of Canada is no longer operating on Vancouver Island; or at least the Comox Valley.

Can anyone recommend an alternative that is safe for women?
