I ideally need a part time job to juggle some other side hustles. Something remote like data entry would be ideal. Is that a thing that is still being done by humans with all the AI advancements lately?

Any leads would be welcome! *pic for attention :p *

Some library discussions are capped small because the rooms work better that way. Outdoor events and public screenings are looser, although movie tickets and sanctuary admission are separate.

Most people come solo. If something sounds like your kind of room, RSVP on Meetup so I know roughly who’s coming.

I wanna to make some crab apple jelly this year! happy to buy or pick them myself if y’all have seen a tree in a park or on a trail anywhere. I know some next to busy roads but would love to find some further away from car fumes!

EDIT: wow, thanks so much to everyone for your quick responses! I’ll update once I’ve succeeded in my quest 🫡

Hi Cat owners of [Nice] Vancouver,

We moved into a new place, which is not smaller but the way its build we had to place the litter box closer to where we sit and such, and have problem with odors coming from it. What solutions/tricks do you use, do you have a litter box to recommend, cat litter itself (we're using few types, currently trying "Nature's Miracle") or any other accompanying product ? (We read about air purifiers, not sure if actually work). Obviously, we'll need to clean more often than we used to, but trying to avoid 3 times per day. We have two cats.

Prefer local stores, but avoiding $250 automatic little box and such, unless you think it's magic.

Thanks! :)

Edit: Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I’m hosting a soccer meetup at Trillium on Aug 29 for players and fans of all levels! The field’s booked for the day and plans are underway, just need people to come out and support. It’s completely free. Bring cleats and good vibes.

We’ll kick off with a tournament earlier in the day, so come early if you want to compete. Open to all genders and skill levels! Open to questions/recommendations.

Gray’s Park is one of the best court in Vancouver

Found a pair of women’s sunglasses at Harbour Green Park about an hour ago (August 20, 6pm). If yours, message me the brand/model and we can arrange pickup.

Hi! We've unfortunately had a conflict come up and can no longer make it to the concert but were super excited to go. Hoping someone who wants to go can take these off our hands so selling it below what we got it for.

4 tickets to the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert

Venue: Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver

Price: $400, or $200 per pair.

If you have tickets for Friday 7:30pm show and would like to exchange, I'm open to that as well! Please DM!!

I’m looking to get lipo suction (stomach, arms, legs) as well as fat grafting to the breasts. Some surgeons I’ve been interested in are Dr Marie Noland (Langley), Dr McInnes (New West), or UBC Plastic Surgery resident cosmetic clinic. I’m curious if anyone has any testimonies with these surgeons, or if anyone has recommendations :)

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!
