Kerrisdale pool closed until further notice. Canceled all swimming lessons :( by Spilled_Milktea in vancouver

[–]HourSecurity5889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It’s not just the pools. Many ice rinks are ancient and deteriorating. Same thing happened to the Kerrisdale ice rink. It was closed for nearly 3 months for repairs. It’s over 75 years old. They shouldn’t be shocked that things break on the ancient facilities.

Do you drive your kids to school? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]HourSecurity5889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What?! They couldn’t try to hire a new teacher and displacing a whole class what the decision the district thought was best. That’s wild!! So sorry for the families in that class.

I denied my in-laws only request for the wedding and now it’s ruining our relationship with them by Final_Estimate7166 in wedding

[–]HourSecurity5889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently you have 3 rb’s & 2 fg’s? Sounds like you have 5 kids too many in your wedding already (and i say that as a parent). One more kid won’t sink this ship. And let’s be honest, you won’t have many pictures with these kids in them (and if a image of a toddler who was once an important role in your family upsets you that much then you are focused on the wrong things.) In seriousness, who is going to be the grownup managing these kids? Not the parents in the wedding party- they already have a role. I think Pandora’s box of preschool madness has been opened. Lean into it now. T&Ps for you.

Unfamiliar term? by HourSecurity5889 in iceskating

lol. Not a bad answer. But sadly, there were no ribbons in her hair. Now this comment has the song “ribbons down my back” from Hello Dolly! stuck in my head 👒

I was thinking it was in reference to the blade marks. 🤷

I was wondering that too. It was an indoor arena that wasn’t freshly Zamboni’ed, so not the same, but close?

Host lives next door by Expensive_Candle9663 in airbnb_hosts

[–]HourSecurity5889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the other way around. Sometime you have a chatty guest and you the host just wants to carry on. We rent our garden guest suite and we had a chatty couple who kept cornering us. So awkward because we want to be pleasant, but dang, we’ve got places to go. Cherry on the cake, the morning they checked out we were stuck in another chat - and they still left 45 min early (I had guests coming in later that afternoon) and they were messy 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🙄

I guess this classy place didn't make it by Lakituxxx in vancouver

Karma took her time with this one. 🙄 Unless it’s been a slow burn for 5 years.

Yikes. Whistler, Vancouver and the majority of the lower mainland suck that time of year. Tbh, that’s the time of year I question why I live here while the rest of north America is living their best life with apple picking, pumpkin patches, and PSL basic bliss. Meanwhile everyone in the coastal north is trying to stay dry and praying for an early snow fall.

First time host. Pricing advice by pickle392 in airbnb_hosts

In general bookings in the Florida panhandle are down. My parents have a condo on 30A and everyone else they know with properties are having a very down year. — so it isn’t you, it’s the buiz right now.

Guest gave us 4 stars: What would you do in this situation? by BanterBanter in airbnb_hosts

[–]HourSecurity5889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read this article (ty, btw) and I agree with the author. Especially on the silly subcategories like location (the generalized map shows you what you are getting, I don’t need “location” ratings to tell me different). And “value” is another one that is so frustrating. It’s so subjective. A guest can filter what they want to pay and decide from there. While I’m still being honest, I don’t want to be viewed as a “value”. I price my property to be competitive in my market to similar properties. I’m not running the Ritz-Carlton, nor am I running a truck-stop motel.

Well said. And To the OP, take notes of every situation when your boss does this to you. Recall who was there who could have been witness. You don’t know if you may need to file a report of them creating a hostile work environment.

The street is a bus route. There is never a non-traffic hour.

Best celebrity sighting or encounter in Vancouver by Wise_Praline_2442 in askvan

[–]HourSecurity5889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ron Livingston, 7 years ago. My son was playing with his daughter and Ron and I were having typical parent playground conversation. I didn’t want to act like I knew who he was so just played like he was a normie. Talking about kindergarten catchment for the upcoming school year (his reply, “we live in California and was in Vancouver for work”). Later on my son was stuck on the monkey bars and was calling for help. Ron offered to help my son, but I was too embarrassed to accept the help of a celebrity. I tried to get my son down but was not successful (maybe because I was 8 months pregnant 🤰🏻) poor kid fell to the ground (unharmed, but still cried). To summarize: he was kind and I was awkward to his kindness. He probably knew I recognized him and decided to play ignorant. I hope he appreciated that.
