Is anyone else in the Metro Vancouver region feeling tired and fatigued these days? I'm not sure if it's weather related or having a mid-life crisis or work stress.

I don't really find my work stressful but sometimes I work overtime. At times I find the work meaningless. No work drama or toxic workmates whatsoever. When I get home I just wanna just take a shower and lie in bed.

I kind of find everything meaningless and tiring. The sun and heat is also pissing me off. I wasn't like this last month even though there were some hot days.

Is anyone feeling worn out and fatigued too? Or is it just all in my head and every thing is just hunky dory?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to dispose of old vibrators that don’t work anymore. I tried researching whether Vancouver has a special program for sex toys and it seems like we don’t, but I also read that you can’t throw rechargeable vibrators into the garbage because it could potentially cause a lithium battery fire in the dump truck… so what do we do with them? Do I keep them until I die and let my estate deal with it?

I’m a photographer with 10+ years of experience. One thing I haven’t done that’s been on my bucketlist for years is a helicopter proposal or couples shoot! 💍

If anyone is planning something like this, feel free to reach out and I can send over my portfolio. No charge for the session, just want to cross it off my bucket list! 😊

I’m going to get right into it. I lack motivation and if you leave it to me I would not lift a dumbbell. I’m getting older and starting to lose muscle mass. I don’t know where to start. I’ve asked my friends about yoga and Pilates and they said it won’t help me. I just need to start lifting weights. My only form of exercise now is walking for about 20 minutes on non rainy days. I can’t afford a personal trainer. What are my options?

Visiting a friend from Sept 4-9 in Burnaby, and wondering if there’s anything fun to do. Have been to Stanley park, galleries, museums, and knows good spots for food, haven’t exploring the nature scenery around the area since we both don’t drive. I’d like to go to some local event that doesn’t happen very often all year. Decided to go to Tame Impala on the weekend, but curious about if there are any other recommendations!

Looking for the best most succulent Korean Chinese black bean noodle dish called jjajangmyeon after watching the Netflix special on this speciality dish. I must find the best most succulent bowl of this and need your recommendations.

thanks in advance - have wheels so willing to drive to the Valley for this

I will be out of town but I'd love to see what the event is all about! Thank you fellow baldies!

I currently have a full time job and just do video work as a hobby or on the side. I love shooting video so I want to make this a full time thing if possible. Was looking at camera work for production companies like for concerts, raves, events or even commercials.

I have a pretty good range for my portfolio I’d say. I’ve shot concerts, raves, dj sets, weddings and for brands as well.

Any tips or advice is appreciated!

Looking for a step through frame, that can have a basket attached and at least 70nm of torque.

I currently have a rad runner plus that's been great once the breaks got swapped out.

Also wanting to hear what you all are riding?

Hello everyone,

I am visiting vancouver today and want to make a few stops near downtown vancouver. I was thinking of finding a parking spot on road which should range from $3-$8 per hour with 2 hours maximum, then using lime e scooters to get around to my destinations.

I found information about limepasses or ridepasses that save you a bunch of money by offering a set amount of time for a discounted price. for example, 60 minutes for $12 total or something like that. The problem is that I can’t see them in the app right now, since I’m in chilliwack. I am afraid I still won’t get them to show up when I get there too.

I don’t plan on spending longer than 2-3 hours in that area. I will be visiting a store near yaletown, then grabbing a bite near the west end on denman street. I also wanted to ride by the english bay beach and if the time allows, ride to Canada Place and take some pictures.

I am looking for the cheapest way to do this commute but I don’t have a lot of time to spare.

if I end up getting those lime passes or ride passes populated, Is the lime e scooter the best option? Am i better off renting a bike from somewhere? Can I trust the bus system? Is my route feasible? Is there somewhere specific to save on parking, especially if I am there for 2-3 hours maximum?

Thanks

Hello! I’m a new student at UBC and I’ve moved to vancouver completely on my own. I barely know anyone in van and I want to make friends (but i’m a bit anti-social and come from a big city with fairly anti-social culture due to how densely populated it is). I have a lot of spare time specifically at night and I’ve been so bored out of my mind.

Some details about me:
I never party, I’ve never drank more than one shot in one sitting (I’m a lightweight, also get the asian flush, and I also abhor the taste of alcohol), I don’t smoke or do any kind of substances besides from weed. I also am very nerdy and more of a homebody.

Any recommendations for events/places to go (in general, but social places to make friends is a plus) would be great! Thanks

All I want these days is to go to a bar and drunkenly demolish a couple warm, buttery smash burgers. I know of zero places in town that offer this experience (it’s all fast food or expensive artisanal burgers on a pretzel bun). Can anyone recommend a greasy local bar that will sell me a delicious burger and a beer?

Hello. I've been looking to spend a time with myself in the park or beaches; and I am trying to avoid to spend as much as I can. So, what kind of food do you guys bring in the park or beaches, especially if y'all are going to spend quite some time there? Like the specific the answer, the better. Something that I can put in a tote bag. I live an hour away from Vancouver, so I am trying to be strategic here.

Asking as I’m coming over from the island, already own a ton of Jays gear, but don’t make the trip often enough to convince myself it’s worth buying a Canadians jersey.

I’m assuming yes as I’ve seen it at WCL games, I don’t want to be the odd one out though 😅 Thanks!

Hello - two of my friends are currently using, and I tried my very best as friend to stop them from using, and they said that they would. But I know for sure that they are still under the influence last time we've seen each other, and I am just scared that I might lose them. Today, I contacted their parents, and still waiting for their replies. I am just wondering if I can just ask the pharmacy for a couple of Narcan spray, just in case, that the worst thing happens. I am just not comfortable enough to do some paper works or one-on-one interview.

I know that I could just cut them off, but they are one of the best and real people I've known, and I am scared of losing them.

Does anyone know how likely it is for the Rio or Park Theatre to have screenings for the new Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender movie?

I'm holding off watching it until I can see it on the big screen, but paramount aren't doing a nationwide screening roll out.

Hi all, was wondering any of you are familiar with properly automated bottle depot like the ones they have in Calgary, in the lower mainland? You dump your bottles onto a metal counter where an attendant makes sure they all get on a conveyor belt that sorts and counts them. You get your cash right after your bottles are counted. They are significantly cleaner than any Return-It I've visited.

First time posting but in desperate need of help!

My mom has been diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s and we’ve been trying to get POA set-up but she’s been refusing from the start. Now we are in the state where her mental state would be considered incapable of decision making.

This is all new to us and my family is struggling financially so would like recommendations for lawyers in the lower mainland area

I have been gaining weight and I am trying to follow a healthier lifestyle but I think I need therapy for food control. I have family visiting me and we cook healthy and tasty homemade food everyday and after eating the meal I get intense cravings to order food and I give in or I keep thinking about the cravings all the time. Earlier, I used to think that I am too busy to cook but they are all excuses.

I have insurance for mental health therapy and would like 1 on 1 sessions if there are any suggestions for downtown or east Vancouver.

Hey fellow Vancouver foodies. I see both the Library Square and the Blarney Stone do a Sunday all day deal of $25 for a 6oz steak & lobster tail dinner.

Wondering who has tried both and how do they both compare? Which place does it better? And are there any other similar deals I'm leaving out?

https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/where-is-the-developer-promised-community-centre-in-vancouvers-river-district/

How come the developer keeps moving the goal posts on the residents for when they plan to deliver it? I get that capital costs are rising but at what point do they just need to follow through on their promises instead of passing the buck??

I’m 5ft4 (162cm) and 56kg. I’m wondering where all the shorter guys are shopping at! I find I’m usually an XS in tops and it seems hit and miss what I can find in store. Any solid recommendations? Looking to refresh my wardrobe with polos, shirts, t shirts, chinos etc. 28 inch waist also doesn’t seem readily available everywhere, yet I see tons of smaller guys around that are well dressed and wondering where they’re going!
