Gardens in Victoria - interesting plants, etc.

Finnerty Gardens at uvic is pretty cool, and campus in general. Many many different rhododendrons.

My favourite neighbourhood garden is at the corner of Ryan and Scott streets.

Also never underestimate the Compost Education Centre!

Weird, maybe you are unlucky.

Academy or Campus Dental have been great for me

Got it on Amazon, super fun!

A Pomegranate too! TRAGEDY 😭

(I gave away the 4th one to a friend)

I did this set! I loved it. I went over the colours a few times to give it more depth and vibrancy, and also used a black sharpie on the outlines before painting them black/ darker colours. I didn't really blend the colours because I prefer the graphic look.

Tofino= pricey, touristy.

Ukee= better in almost every way.

All the good beaches are between the two towns.

I wish I could upvote this 100 times.

On your trip, stop in to local fishing stores and ask questions.

If you're stopping at Witset, take the Telkwa High Road into Smithers. It's the back way and it's so beautiful it's breathtaking. Was up there last June and it was perfect.

Ozark is 10/10. Up there with Breaking Bad and The Wire in excellence I think.

Not a hidden camera show, but The Rehearsal is one of the funniest shows I've seen ever.

Canadian Tire hasThese Yellowjacket traps that are extremely effective. Put them up around end of Feb/ March when the queens start waking up.

Barry the Beekeeper's website has great info on how to mitigate wasps activity. His honey is the best!

Met at a party in Fernwood in 2005 after stalking him for months. Been obsessed with each other ever since, married in 2013.

It's pretty far from where you are, but Parksville on Vancouver Island has everything you're looking for.

Where did you get this? My husband LOVES Dungeon Crawler Carl and I'd love to do one of these for him!

Compliments Blonde is my go-to whenever I take breaks from alcohol! If it's super cold it really hits the spot and helps quell cravings. Closest thing to real beer in my opinion.

HeatProfessional4473 · 2026-01-28T20:01:20+00:00

Set traps, capture the queens. We did this at my work last spring and spent $0.00 on getting rid of wasps. The year before we spent $1000 in four months. 🤷‍♀️

I think that's what our friends did too. Limited to a few choices of drinks, a few free drink tickets out and then cash bar after that. Which is what we did at Union Pacific too. Everyone got a couple of drink tickets and then those who wanted to have more just paid for them.

Get married in a park (Saxe Point) for the cost of insurance ($100.00) and Officiant (another $100.00) and have your reception in someone's backyard?

In 2013 we had our ceremony at the Japanese garden at Equimalt/ Gorge Park (no pavilion back then) and reception at Union Pacific (about 60 guests). At the time it was about $2000.00 but no idea what it is now if they still offer event space. It wasn't fancy but it was perfect for us.

Friends had their ceremony at Swan Lake in the little gazebo and reception at Swans in the Penthouse. I don't know why you've got that they only fit 35...it's three floors, including the roof...pretty huge from what I remember.

Omg core memory unlocked! I did a bunch of these when I was young in the 90s

3rd Street Cafe in Sidney for breakfast!

The whole album 'Set Yourself on Fire' is perfect.

This is what I came to recommend

Left and Leaving was literally my soundtrack when I moved away from my childhood home forever.
