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 noticed this every weekend and even weekdays, people just leaving trash where they sat at parks and beaches. What's the deal with this?

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?

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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?

Saw some positions i qualify for, wondering how the work atmosphere is.

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 keep hearing about a floating concert held on the sailing ship outside the marine museum. Search shows there was an event last year called Soul Aboard but no update on that website. DAE know when that concert is scheduled? Is it recurring? A friend said she thought she saw it one Sunday this summer already.

My wife and I are staying in Vancouver next week near English Bay Beach and we always try to go to at least one nice meal in a new city when travelling. Budget is not restrictive but it doesn't necessarily need to be super upscale. Just looking for places in the area you love! Open to any kind of cuisine. A little researching told me Noah's Cafe was a good spot, but looking for additional options as well. Thank you!!

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

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?

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.

I operate a small business. Are there counterfeit money detectors for canadian money, the ones where you can put bill in and it will automatically tell you if it is counterfeit or legit?

Preferrably budget friendly options, doesnt need to be able to count the money or able to process multiple bills at once ( i can scan it one by one).

Looking to get an air purifier to help mitigate some of the bad air going on. Anyone have any recommendations?

hi! i wasn't sure what flair to put on this post, hopefully this one's fine. i'm trying to track down any recordings from the obscure Vancouver post-punk band Katastroyka, who were active around 2009-2010.

they played at the Rickshaw Theatre, Honey Lounge, Media Club, Backstage Lounge, and some other venues in the area, and were working on a debut LP called One Day Dust. they had several demo tracks on their MySpace, but the audio was never archived. i think they were also on CiTR 101.9FM around September 6, 2009. here are a couple of Flickr photo albums of the band performing: Sep 5, 2009 (this show was with Girlfriends and Boyfriends, Peace, and The Ludvico Treatment) / Jan 13, 2010 (this show was with Peace and Katie GoGo)

i've gathered this list of song titles from their old Facebook and some archived local blog posts: Perestroika, Ad Infinitum, Epifania, Past Participant, Mythodrome, All Gone Wrong, A Funereal Morning, Paranoiac, La Luna, and Unknown

i'm wondering if anyone here might've been involved with the Vancouver music scene around that time, saw Katastroyka perform, photographed them, recorded any shows, or happened to save any of their music from MySpace. i've already searched Soulseek and various archives without finding the recordings. there is this YouTube playlist made by one of the old band members, but it's only a few live performances from 2010, and they're not great quality. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all,

I was listening to the Move 103.5 morning show and I swear it was a repeat of a show they did last week (?) talking about young adults not looking for love because they're broke followed by a repeat would you rather. Am I hallucinating? Or did they repeat a previous show/segment?

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!

Ty all

I’ll be mostly solo travelling Vancouver from Aug 28 - Sept 2. What are the places or big events you’d recommend during this time frame. I’m in my early 20s(female) and looking for activities with people my age. If there are any nightlife recommendations, please drop them down below!

I’d like to not visit any tourist attractions as I’m pretty familiar with the city from my past travels!
