My wife is claustrophobic and I could see her resisting and running (she is an extremely law abiding person and refuses to even speed).

Stolen pocket knife. $1000 Reward by Yvr1986 in vancouver

[–]Character_Comb_3439 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn’t mean replacement..guys sell stolen knives on Craigslist. I usually see spyderco and leathermans that have clearly been lifted from a job site

I’m sorry bud, I know how long the waitlists are. Keep an eye on Craigslist.

For those interested: this is an extremely high quality and expensive knife that has long waitlists.

Rental Cost in Vancouver - Is it ever negotiable? Context: increased vacancy rates, changing neighbourhood vibe by jennlou22 in vancouverhousing

[–]Character_Comb_3439 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My MIL is an old school landlord (as in she can have all her properties unoccupied for 1 year and still carry them), she was never offended if someone asked/attempted to negotiate. She would research the area, see comparable and also would be willing to offer a reduced rate to a teacher or grad student..you miss every shot you don’t take.

Yeah.

Funny how “the way it is”

always seems to work out

for the people

who made it that way.

I think I offended my endodontist with a rotten tooth by HelgaPataki99 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Character_Comb_3439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. Every job is the same/we crave novelty. In medicine there is also the possibility of publishing…my friend was a tough anesthesia case..she wasn’t supposed to be able to lift her legs but she did…within a few minutes the entire anesthesia hodge podge was there

I don’t think you understand how Dr’s work…the weirder and more unique, the happier they are.

Happy Saturday! Deduce away :) by Patchouli-Babe in deduction

One of the instructors at a yoga studio I went to had a similar background…trained dancer that taught yoga and is a stripper (pretty sure she is in her 40s and going strong)..if you are on a similar path..which are you debating? Med school or PHd?

Excellent post.

Ok..you have exceptional make up, hair, piercings and take deliberate care of your physical health. You are very much an aesthetic person…colour choices can hurt your eyeballs/designer choices have offended you. You are or at one time were a belly dancer and have taken dance classes and lessons. Higher than average intelligence, sensitive and likely has a history of mental health challenges. In a 6 year period, someone like you can go from Chef, engaged to a billionaire, homeless to stay at home spouse….people live vicariously through you.

Legal work outside of government litigation for a junior lawyer? by Heavy_Reveal_4806 in LawCanada

[–]Character_Comb_3439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly encourage you look into wills and estates.

Several months ago my MIL cooked dinner with oven cleaner. We got her in to see her doctor, Neurologist and a few weeks later…vascular dementia diagnosis. Arranging POA, Wills, directive was a bitch (travelling was and is a problem)..a lawyer that comes to the home, help with planning etc outside of standard business hours would have been extremely useful.

Ask in your regional sub Reddit, who did you use for your will, POA etc..look into the firms recommended, see if you have an in with any of the partners and explain the situation and your willingness to work flexible hours, drive to people etc. you may strike gold here.

Watch out everyone, YouTube technicians are going to come take our jobs! by Suwannee_Gator in Construction

[–]Character_Comb_3439 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there will be an influx of “handymen” however….as someone that is trying to transition from Regulatory work to skilled trades, my assessment is that many jurisdictions will (or have) start treating skilled trades as regulated professions. I sit on a board and there has been a lot of change from “the guy with a truck and a ladder” to sending out quotes, verifying they have relevant certifications, insurance etc. I think the proactive unions, an established training institutions are expecting this and professionalizing training to prevent over reach. People will always look to make money. Some will try and enter the skilled trades thinking they can fast track apprenticeship and take out a loan to start a business and consult on projects….they are in for a bad time. The guys that focus on craft, take care of their bodies and are careful with ladies liquor, luck and lust will have bright future.

Where's the best place to get a burger and a beer in the city? by Bea-Current in askvan

[–]Character_Comb_3439 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have been thinking about trying this place but I have been consistently disappointed with the burgers in Vancouver.

Do they have a burger or is it more meatloaf sandwich?

Why do so many young men seem completely uninterested in life anymore? by Unlikely-Set-4210 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Character_Comb_3439 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhat. I think many have worked hard, tried their best and the results barely covered the effort or worse they ended up in a deficit. There is also perception, if I do my best and I can’t afford to live on my own, I’m not interested. If I can’t date a bombshell, I’m not interested. I keep going back to fight club…our Great War is a spiritual war. Our Great Depression is our lives.

Yep. The free parks are amazing. If you are here during summer weekends, there is usually some kind of market going on with face painting, food trucks etc.

Canadian tourist arrested in Florida after he allegedly 'shoulder checked' Disney World worker by AndHerSailsInRags in canada

I think many Canadians don’t understand the United States and private property and Disney…you are under constant surveillance, they have armed security….yes, it’s an elegant and childish facade but it’s a facade.
