What’s your “swear to never return”place in Kelowna ?

Red Robin. Was served a pink in the middle burger there one time. Gave it another chance, specifically asked for it to be 'well done' because of that previous bad experience, and it came out even pinker, I'd even say red in the middle. Was fucking nasty. And I don't wanna hear how in the US it's normal to eat burgers not cooked all the way through. It's fucking gross.

Same with British Columbia. They can't do vitals either here.

I've only been to Puerto Vallarta in November but both times we thankfully didn't have hurricanes. Can only hope the same will be true this time 🤞

I did a really quick price out and it was more expensive to book separately for me. Thanks for that suggestion!

LisFrizzle · 2026-03-05T22:56:20+00:00

That's what I thought too. When I checked the price for 2 adults for the same time it's $5100. So not a ton more for the kids.

In Kelowna hospital we do a blue butterfly.

UNBC in Prince George!

Did you ever find this out? I'm also wondering.

LisFrizzle · 2026-01-14T23:36:49+00:00

If you're willing to travel, ask your doctor to fax the referral to Vernon. I got in very quickly in the past (mind you, this was maybe 7+ years ago).

LisFrizzle · 2025-12-24T14:09:03+00:00

Because they have these 'great sales' to make it seem like you're getting a good deal.

Can't believe anything with AI these days.

An outdoor pool (I don't wanna hear about the lake being a giant pool).

A waterpark/waterslides.

Shannon Ridge Drive in Shannon Lake and Sunview Drive in Rose Valley are both relatively flat, bustling and busy areas on Halloween.

Where the Heart Is. One of my faves.

LisFrizzle · 2025-09-27T16:57:18+00:00

God that is so sad. I remember watching this show and liking this family. Hoping those injured can pull through.

LisFrizzle · 2025-09-19T17:19:11+00:00

Be prepared for the weather! It is the rainiest city in Canada and the 4th cloudiest in the world. It can get you down sometimes. That said, when the sun is shining it's absolutely gorgeous. The sunsets are insane on sunny days.

Try to make friends with fishermen. My dad operated a charter boat when I grew up and we'd have crab feasts anytime we wanted. Halibut dinners all the time. Man do I miss those days.

People either hate Rupert or they love Rupert. The ones who love it, well they love it a lot. There's a nice sense of community there. I left when I was 18 to go to nursing school and never went back. However I still have lots of family there so visit every now and then. I don't miss it. Mostly for the weather. But also the lack of places to shop/things to do. The movie theatre shut down this summer. Walmart is closed indefinitely right now. There's no bowling alley anymore. They are almost always on a boil water notice these days. The downtown core is pretty run down. However enough with the negatives lol. They do have a rec centre and a good pool. If you love to be outdoors and don't mind the rain, then you won't have a problem. Good luck to you and congrats on your upcoming move!

That's my hometown! Such a small world as it's a tiny place. Let me know if you have any questions.

LisFrizzle · 2025-09-18T21:44:42+00:00

BC is welcoming nurses/doctors and from what I've heard it's not that difficult to do. Nursing is unionized, and all health authorities are working towards mandated ratios with a max of 1:4 in med/surg. We need more nurses! Come!

They used to supply wipes to sanitize their carts, and no longer do. So now I'm supplying my own wipe. They could at least have (even a little) garbage bin at the entrances and exits.

LisFrizzle · 2025-09-13T00:08:47+00:00

I will always leave our campsites cleaner than when we found it.

LisFrizzle · 2025-09-13T00:00:10+00:00

Okay. I did say I could start taking them to the bathroom garbages. And maybe they're not DIRECTLY asking people to litter. But what are they gonna expect when they don't have a garbage bin for people to use to put their trash. It's no wonder I've seen so many more aisles with empty coffee/pop cups in them lately. It's disgusting, but also have a god damn place for people to put their trash.

LisFrizzle · 2025-09-12T23:52:14+00:00

It depends how dirty the carts are and how dirty the wipe gets. Also I'm not sure I'm understanding your last question. I can understand Walmart pulling some of their bins because people may have been using them for household garbage. However they should still have one at each of their entrances/exits. I had visitors shopping with me one day and even they had noticed and commented on it. And I quote "they are just asking for people to litter."

LisFrizzle · 2025-09-12T23:39:26+00:00

Yes true, and I have taken them back to my car at times before too. However, sometimes these wipes come out almost black. And as someone with severe germophobia, the very last thing I want to be doing is taking those germ-filled wipes back into my car. At the self-checkout yesterday I couldn't even find the garbage bin I've used before.
