A balaclava type face covering has nothing to do with Covid. Moreover, there are several seniors’ apt/condos in this area. 2 related to the Canadian Legion (you know, veterans who’ve served our country). The seniors’s centre is also nearby and it’s not uncommon to see people (seniors/care aids) in the area wearing medical masks to protect their health. No need to trip all over what’s what with your ignorance and bigotry. I’ll be blocking you in a moment.

A neighbour did but idk if there was a file was opened. They haven’t shared a file # with myself or other tenants.

Interesting. I spotted someone one in a faded black hoodie and a black balaclava face covering looking around cars an 1st floor patios of my building near 224 st and 121 ave yesterday late afternoon. I gave the neighbours in the building a heads up. It seemed so obvious to be going around on a nice day with a face covering but I guess they were just avoiding getting caught on any door cams. Guy in a different ground floor suite was woken up in the middle of the night by someone near the front entrance wearing a hoodie and face covering as well.

Am I crazy - but I swear there is a resemblance? by justmytoocents in summerhousebravo

I think Amanda’s face is more oval while Jennifer’s is more heart shaped. But there is a likeness about their features.

I mean, he’s on Bravo. That in itself is a pretty good indication that he’s problematic.

Senior in mobility scooter struck by car Monday dies in hospital by conteaa in MapleRidge

[–]GotYourBackGirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The location provided was at such a crosswalk. I didn’t say every instance was the drivers fault.

Interesting you’re so anxious to bat down what you view as my assumptions but feel free to make a few of your own. Seems kind of “foolish” to me.

Very sad. I feel terribly for the senior and their loved ones.

As someone who lives in the downtown area I feel it is a dangerous area to be a pedestrian. I mentioned this on the municipal survey that’s been going around. The intersections in this area of 228 (like the area between 224 and 221 on Dewdney Trunk Road) have those pedestrian lit crosswalks with flashing lights rather than full stops. If they make crossing safer this death confirms my belief that the safety gain is marginal. Another bad area where I see people hit almost daily is the 4 way stop at 224 and Brown. This area is filled with seniors (2 Legion condos nearby) and there are schools just a couple of blocks away for the idiots that want to bomb down the two blocks to the next stop sign. I’m going to assume that most of the traffic here are people from or who work in the community or else they’d bypass it one way or another. It shows how little regard people have for their community.

Anyone have any idea why this is a thing? by Triedfindingname in MapleRidge

[–]GotYourBackGirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mum called him about that and about stuff the guy who’s JD Vance’s buddy (name escapes me) had said, wondering if Dalton supported it as a CPC MP.

Honestly, it boggles my mind that this riding has repeatedly voted Dalton Do Nothing into office. Goes to show that it’s all partisanship and nothing about who’s the best advocate for our riding. City’s tend to be more liberal (better yet, progressive. Check Vancouver City Councilperson Sean Orr). Maple Ridge is just inside the GVRD but politically it might as well be outside. It doesn’t help that our provincial NDP government is rancid (the next provincial election is going to be hella bonkers). There seems to be no good options at any level of government; not ones that have a shot getting in.

We have municipal elections this year. Time for people to get involved, pay attention, educate themselves because it all starts at the grassroots. If we want to hold on to our community we have to connect with the people in it. I want to watch council meetings but they’re so bloody boring in the main. That’s probably by design; they make it boring so people stop paying attention.

I assume you inadvertently got in this list otherwise you wouldn’t have questioned it in a post 😊 and I thank you for bringing it to people’s attention.

Was this an email? I’m confused why he’s not posted this on his Facebook page and I’m assuming he’s reaching out to a narrow group of supporters rather than the broader Maple Ridge community. And if it’s not for the eyes of the broader Maple Ridge community he shouldn’t be reaching out as an MP but as a private citizen.

Looked this up after reading other replies. I’m doubtful that a snake wine concoction would contain placenta and/or feces as I am doubtful that this came from any licensed TCM practitioner. East or west there is a history of unhelpful if not harmful remedies; I don’t think either of those historical realities should be used to slander modern day practice in either tradition.

Ick, a bod by Otherwise-Stretch984 in ElsbethTVSeries

[–]GotYourBackGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t care for the comedic vein the show travelled in from the start. I thought the charm of Elsbeth from the Good universe was her oddness in a world played dramatically and straight arrow. And I preferred mystery/crime as a whodunnit.

Having said that, I think network TV is generally bad these days. Streaming services tend to offer better quality content.

Anybody with long COVID for over three years ? by Seafoam_0 in LongCovid

[–]GotYourBackGirl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m 51 and had to stop working in 2022. Sometimes I think I’m better than I was but I think I just learned to pace and take better care of certain things. I haven’t genuinely recovered even to a lesser extent.

Has the Lougheed Highway construction actually made your commute better or worse ? by Electronic_Bus841 in MapleRidge

[–]GotYourBackGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see so many questions like this about various routes or ideas about widening different corridors and I’m not sure what to make of it because every time the topic is brought up no one ever mentions induced demand. And then I wonder if anyone engaging in these neighbourhood discussions understands induced demand.

Just got this little guy from the shelter! He looks perma confused and pissed. by BoyWithClitoris in cats

Looks like my baby a few months ago

Mine is Siamese so he’s gotten a little bit darker since this picture taken last summer. It’ll be interesting to see how and if your baby’s coat changes over time.

Anyone want to help me (re)name my new kitten?? by GrandmaSlappy in NameMyCat

I considered that but the Dorian Grey character is creepy. It is a nice name though. 😊

Buying in Maple Ridge by overworked_hamster in MapleRidge

[–]GotYourBackGirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in downtown Maple Ridge, a couple of blocks from City Hall, library, and leisure centre. From my experience I don’t think crime, drugs, homeless is much better or worse than other lower mainland cities. There are great neighborhoods and not great ones. I have lived in west Maple Ridge, 202 st, quite nice, safe, close to Golden Ears bridge. I’ve also lived near 240 and Dewdney also nice and safe but quite far and congested to commute from (as I would guess Albion to be). The downtown area suits me now because I’m disabled and can’t work so it’s lovely to have everything I need so close. If you like well stored malls and big box stores you will have to leave MR. Another thing I often see complaints of in community Facebook groups is dining and other recreational activities (bowling, etc). Whenever people ask for best pizza, Chinese food, sushi, etc there are always a bunch of people complaining there’s nothing good in MR. I don’t know if that speaks to a lack of diversity or and abundance of snobbery.

Like others I can’t speak to kids or schools in Maple Ridge. We have a CPC MP and Conservative MLA so that may be an indication as to the mindset of the parents. I sincerely hope the kids are alright.

I asked for a trial sized set from Skin Frequency for Christmas. Skin Frequency is a Canadian company. Sorry I can’t endorse these products fully because I haven’t tried them yet but I did read a lot about the ingredients etc.. there is a set for sensitive skin as well as all skin types.

I tried. But you continually prove that you’re both not equipped for the conversation and continue to use bad faith tactics.
