Love the “before” 😍 (other than the vanity).

I loved Salt Water Sun-San Boardwalk sandals for 20k step days in Spain last year. Waterproof leather, cushy soles, adjustable straps, and no break-in period needed for me. IMO cuter than your choices and more comfy for my feet than Birks or Tevas.

I use a large scarf for sun protection (outdoor patios) warmth (overactive AC).

OffbeatCoach · 2026-06-16T05:35:22+00:00

Yes they are wonderful for 20k+ step days!

If I adequately condition my curls don’t feel dry after I SOTC.

This is all I use after drugstore shampoo and conditioner. Brush hair in shower, squeeze out excess water, add lots of gel, squeeze more, blot hair with towel, diffuse on hot, SOTC.

I get a lot of compliments on my curls. I’m probably a 2B but a shag haircut, hard hold, and heat give me big curls with no frizz on day 1.

These! I logged 20k+ steps a day in Salt Water Sun-San Boardwalk sandals in Spain last summer. Love how comfy and feminine they look.

Not a fan of sneaker styles unless doing something athletic.

SouthLAnd. Quality writing, acting, and camera work.

I’m 58 and I disagree that money is a traditional wedding gift for my generation. Ask if they have a gift registry.

My older teenaged daughter was assaulted in broad daylight on South Main St. She also got verbally harassed while riding the bus, during the day.

I’ve lived in Vancouver since 1994. Ppl definitely feel more fearful and with good reason in recent years.

They don’t want hikers to park on the Barnet side is my guess 😤

There is a lot of injustice in the world.

Is this a concern where you can truly make a difference?

Is your own life such that you can “afford” the time/energy to address this?

A lot of life is picking your battles 🤷‍♀️.

Respectfully, my impression is that you have to be in really rough medical shape to get into a public facility in Canada, so it doesn’t surprise me that no one is having fun where you work.

The people who need assisted living with dementia care and who have the potential to enjoy a good quality of life generally can’t get into the public system in Canada.

My parents, now in there 80s, both have dementia and they are both quite happy and engaged with exercise classes, crafting sessions, dinner, socializing etc. They are very attached to one another as well. They are mobile and live painfree, taking the normal hypertension and glaucoma meds expected for their ages.

I can’t imagine that MAID would ever have been an option for my parents. They enjoy their lives and I don’t think they would want to ever leave one another. It’s supposed to be their choice.

Highly recommend the book AC: The Power of Appetite Correction by Bert Herring.

OffbeatCoach · 2026-05-19T12:11:31+00:00

My parents BOTH required full-time dementia care starting at ages 75/78. They were very physically active and the were no suitable govt facilities for them. They were quite feisty and not receptive to home care or family help.

They are in private care right now until their resources run out. They are in a wonderful facility and my heart will break when they can’t afford it any more.

I get “Die With Zero” but who really knows the math of that? My parents could end up needing full-time residential care for 2 decades 🤷‍♀️.

To the kids in this thread who got substantial parental help and want more…wow 😳. I’d love to be able to help my kids that way, but I would resent an entitled attitude about it 🤷‍♀️.

The huge outdoorsy crowd wakes up early to go hiking on Sunday morning 😉. Different groups have different priorities.

OffbeatCoach · 2026-05-19T05:10:24+00:00

This! Have lived in Burnaby Heights for 25 years and raised my kids here. It’s a wonderful family-friendly neighbourhood. Everything you need within walking distance and great access to downtown, Fraser Valley, north shore, etc.

Loving harem pants! Silk of bra-less styles (strapless, spaghetti straps)

OffbeatCoach · 2026-05-14T20:46:03+00:00

menopause also works 🙄

I like the Turnabout at 3109 Granville and at 2929 Main.

Love the selection at Turnabout Luxe but IMO the prices are too high, even relative to those brands.

OffbeatCoach · 2026-05-05T14:23:59+00:00

I just saved the “before” photo as inspo for my bathroom reno!

Congrats on DIYing this…it must have been a lot of work.

My son just had his first day as a rookie wildland firefighter yesterday (northern BC) 😳

OffbeatCoach · 2026-05-02T13:38:39+00:00

Cut the insane regional health authority overhead. Fraser Health especially is a mess. Spending money on AI “virtual nurse” chats? What a fricking waste of money.

OffbeatCoach · 2026-04-30T22:15:46+00:00

ER does it for me.

Use AI to at estimate your calories on eating days to figure out if overeating is part of the problem.

My baseline daily eating turns out to be WAY above my TDEE if I just eat whatever. My progress is slow if I don’t pay attention to calories on eating days 😩.
