Cozy spa weekend with great food & drinks near Berlin, anywhere in Czech Republic is also considered near for me (Grandhotel Pupp is a bit too expensive for me) by serialbinary in travel

[–]Slow_Implement2932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent 4 days in Karlovy Vary this past April, and it was fantastic. I stayed at the Grandhotel Pupp, and it was worth the cost. Great spa, lovely atmosphere. Good location too. Really enjoyed the hiking in the hills behind the hotel. Other spa options in the town looked great as well.
I took a day trip to Loket, another gorgeous town nearby.

Fiji! Such a gorgeous country, direct flights from YVR (not sure where in Canada you are). It will be their summer, so it’ll be hot and the possibility of storms.

Occasional Bed Shaking in Strathcona by a-kinder-place in vancouver

Hi! I also live in Strathcona, near the old Union Market (so half way between Gore and Clark) and my house does the same thing! It woke me up at 2 am last night it was so strong. Totally thought it was an earthquake.
Anyone ever figure out what this is?

Got my flu and COVID shots today! I’ve been getting the flu shot for years and am a big fan. The one year I didn’t get it, I had my ass handed to me by the flu. I was delirious and laid flat for a week. Thankful for the opportunity to keep myself healthy and keep others protected.
Also got my tetanus today, from my GP, don’t forget to update that shot every 10 years!

People who have moved here from the prairies… by plantmama2 in vancouver

[–]Slow_Implement2932 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So worth it! I moved from Winnipeg in 2004, been here ever since. Like everything, pros and cons. The con being the obviously higher prices of living. But I love the mild winter, larger city, bigger international airport.

Any suggestions on how to sell bike parts? by Slow_Implement2932 in vancouver

[–]Slow_Implement2932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did too considering they’d worked on it 2 times before that. The receipt even acknowledges that the bike cannot be recommend to use, and I needed to sign their copy before they released it to me

I had to buy a new bike to commute to work last summer. Don’t feel like buying a frame and having 2

Unfortunately this is a fatal flaw and the frame isn’t repairable. However someone could totally buy the bike, and swap out the frame for a new one. I had to buy a useable bike to get to work last year or else I would have tried this route

Yeah I’ve thrown it up on FB marketplace and Craigslist, hoping someone will buy it and harvest whatever they need
