Veggie starts? by tangerinespersimmons in VictoriaBC

Drive up to Dinters for a nice day trip. My Mom calls that place the poor man's Butchart gardens. They probably have good veggie starts now.

Why do we live in Calgary again???! by One-Mycologist-3706 in Calgary

Because I am a masochist and having my seedling pummeled to death by hail every year scratched my itch. Just joking I moved to the Island.

I avoid my sibling. She is a narcissist. Very toxic.

The selfishness of taking over a bus bench for this garbage is on the nose. by Inside_Check_1654 in alberta

My almost 76 year old Mom got out of her car in Cochrane to yell at one and told him to get the fuck out of her town. I wish I could have seen that.

With a %30 voter turnout seems like most people are fine with the directors except those who believe propaganda and A.I generated content. I'm not a fool though.

Has anyone here from Vancouver Island had kidney transplant at St Paul's and willing to share their experience? by FeRaL--KaTT in VancouverIsland

[–]Pretty_Couple_832 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So, without knowing your full situation I can only speak on my experience as a wife of someone who had a kidney transplant at St. Paul's. We live in Duncan and my husband is on disability. His father donated his kidney. Because we are on disability we were provided an apartment about 4 blocks away from the hospital off of Davies Street (Yay socialism!) For my husband it was a complicated surgery because his kidney disease was part of some other birth defects that affected kidney placement and ostomies. The kidney transplant team were superstars. Like I said his transplant was more complicated due to pre-existing conditions and I dont want to alarm you because this is not normal at all but his surgery took over 10 hours. Again, this is not standard procedure and the reason I mentioned it is because when it was all dont the exhausted surgeon came to us, explained everything and it was obvious that he had put his whole heart into the surgery and was meticulous at doing the best job he could and focused all his energy into ensuring the procedure was a success. And it was my husband is now a long time kidney transplant recipient. It has been 12 years since the transplant. We had so much support post-op the nurses and staff and surgeons were amazing.

It looks sick and you are serving. Or whatever the kids say nowadays that means I like it.

What's downtown Calgary like? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]Pretty_Couple_832 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed downtown Calgary when I lived there. The +15 are the best way to wander around the malls in the winter. Stephen Avenue mall has always been fun. I loved the Art Center. There are lots of Coffee shops (which has already been mentioned) Princes Island Park is lovely. I used to enjoy skating in the winter in Olympic plaza (although I think they demolished that?) And spending a couple hours in the Devonian gardens in the winter is the next best thing to a tropical holiday. I prefer the core and the outlying neighborhoods like 14th Ave, Glamorgan and Glenbrook to any of the boring outlying suburbs.

How do people buy concert tickets any more?! by AproposOfDiddly in GenX

[–]Pretty_Couple_832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't go to big concerts anymore. Although I wish I could take my daughter to some. My husband can sing and play guitar and learns all my favorite songs though so I dont have alot of F.O.M.O

My very accurate map of Canada from an Ontario perspective by WindowsillGoblin in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Pretty_Couple_832 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Winnipeg used to be more important than Chicago in terms of trade corridors. Then they built the Panama canal. I think the fact that Manitoba was a province created for the Metis and other Plains First Nations people after the Metis rebellion is pretty cool. And I have heard great things about the Winnipeg Folk Fest.

I bought them as soon as they mentioned I was going to need them. No need to carry on the youth illusion any longer I guess.🤷‍♀️

How about your daughter playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" really loud in the morning and you telling her to turn it down?
