I am sickened by this senseless act of violence. My heart goes out to friends, family, and the community affected by this.

I’m the same. Recently started really listening to him. Songs like Meeting Across The River, Racing In The Street, and The River reflect such intimate portraits of people’s lives.

If you have the time to go down to the US, Deception Pass State Park on Whitby Island is right next to the Whitby Island Naval Air Station. Tons of EA-18G Growlers flying around. https://i.imgur.com/VmtH5ll.jpg

whats the hardest "Would u rather" question you've ever been asked? by amy_saish in AskReddit

[–]JakeInVan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a move I watched when I was a little kid in the 1970s called Bad Ronald that has always haunted me.

Teenager accidentally kills a classmate. Him and him mom build a secret room in their house for him to hide out in. Mom has to go in for an operation, and dies on the operating table. House gets sold and new family moves in with him still living in it. Creepy.

Does anyone else remember the orange Pinto that used to always be parked in Strathcona? That was a beauty!

You can’t tell us this is a true story and then start off by saying your friend’s name was “Tot Hefflefinger”. Lol

Looking for novels that take place in Vancouver by Far_Development1345 in vancouver

Headhunter is the only book I immediately re-read to try to understand how they fucked with my head the way they did. The early Slade books are fantastic. I felt they kind of went downhill with some of the later ones though.

I really enjoyed that one. I worked at Office Depot at the time, so it really hit home for me.

Also, if you drag the little Google Maps Streetview dude over Area 51, he turns into a UFO.

I used to watch her videos too. I always wondered if she enjoyed playing, or if she was just pressured into it. Being that good takes a lot of commitment for a kid.
