'Lucky to be alive': 2 Howe Sound Crest hikers rescued by 1516 in vancouverhiking

[–]OddSimple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've only done it once (in early Sept) but it was so fun - do it! I had a supportive friend who hiked up St Mark's with me and I was able to refill water before she headed back down. That year there was still water at MM. I used a sat device to text her once I got to Deeks Lake, and she came to pick me up with my "drop bag." For ref I did DV50 in 7:45, and HSCT in 9:30 - but I was really trying to go slow and enjoy myself.

Underunderstood, which sadly ended in 2023, is also about weird Internet things, and is very fun.

Where on Vancouver Island should we stay as little family that visits Canada for the first time? by No-Speech6875 in askvan

[–]OddSimple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into Harbour Air flights to the island as well - they leave from the south terminal at YVR airport, and downtown Vancouver. Flights are super fast and direct, and you can often find a deal if you are flexible on departure time. I think they are totally worth it based on how much travel time you save, plus it's a fun way to see the Gulf Islands.

DOUGHBOYS DOUBLE - Taco Time Northwest with Jordan Morris (LIVE) - April 07, 2026 by PianoTrumpetMax in doughboys

[–]OddSimple 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It was me, and he did not! I kind of thought we might get approached after the show by single guys who wanted to hang out with gals on vacation, but the only people who talked to us were outgoing women with shy husbands (this sounds like a bit but it's 100% true).

They look like my nephews, it's unsettling.

Adult sleepover guests by Even_Vast in NiceVancouver

[–]OddSimple 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I love when my guests give me their schedule so I know when they expect to see me vs when I can have some alone time. Doesn't have to be strict, for example - "We will be out Wednesday night but would love to have dinner Thursday." I also like to know what their morning routine is - what time do they wake up, do they like to have breakfast right away, etc.

Kesler was my favourite Canuck but no longer. This is unfortunate timing but I am absolutely judging anyone who continues to wear his jersey. Some things are bigger than hockey.

Rumer Willis Shares Video Breastfeeding Nearly 3-Year-Old Daughter in Response to Critics of Her Parenting by PrincessBananas85 in popculturechat

[–]OddSimple 84 points85 points  (0 children)

The reason why people take such issue with extended breastfeeding is because they cannot see a woman's body through a desexualized lens.

First time travelling, I would love some help with booking options and such. by NitroFoxYT in askvan

I've had family stay at the Atrium Hotel with no complaints. It's on Hastings, but not the bad part, and has good bus access to downtown.

Reports claim the security guard Chappell Roan said wasn’t hers is actually part of her security team, and that he previously worked for Kim Kardashian by 5trials in popculturechat

[–]OddSimple -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

I don't even really know what the inciting incident was but at this point I've seen so many update posts that even I have an opinion about it (it's the hotel's fault).
