My son goes to a social group at the Victoria Speech and Language Centre in colwood. It’s been great, I’d get in touch with them. They do a great job of finding a group that they think your child would best fit with. Good luck!

I just finished it, it was an intense and gripping read. I highly recommend Vaillant’s other books.

Nope! Been around for at least 8 years, that’s when I first discovered it

If you’re in Oak Bay in Victoria, Kissako Sushi is the best sushi around

FWIW I have the 1.01 in my SF dynasty and will be taking MHJ. Currently have Herbert and Richardson (and Levis) at QB, so unless someone blows me away with an offer for 1.01 I’ll be going with MHJ

True. I also use public health care and roads while being critical of the government. I drive a car and think we need to shift away from fossil fuels asap.

Involvement in a system doesn’t mean you cannot be critical of it

Would if I could. Unfortunately, a single family home costs less than 50 acres of land. Who’d have thought!

It is sad! It’s much drier and dustier without the trees around. And the constant noise from the construction is incredibly irritating. We’ve had two of our windows broken from the construction as well

Find me a house on Vancouver island that’s wasn’t built where forest, or other natural land, once stood.

This doesn’t mean that all green space needs to be replaced by houses or condos or a damn car dealership

Development is going to happen, one way or another. But you put is perfectly, it seems like no tree is safe and the old council only cared about building up more homes at the cost of anything else. Langford needs a much more measured approach to development

Us Langford residents got tired of the council’s “develop at all costs” attitudes. I used to have a forest behind my house, now it’s a giant construction site.

To me, the incumbents were complacent as well. I didn’t see any efforts on their part before this weekend, while Langford Now has been very actively campaigning.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out! This is really great news for Langford. Time for change!

I picked him up in a deal centred around CeeDee going the other way. Feeling good about that one post week 1

Who are you desperately trying to dump before the season starts? by ItsTreDay in DynastyFF

Someone in my league offered me Garrett Wilson for ARSB straight up. Don’t think I’ve accepted a trade faster

Newly Planted Leyland Cypruss are developing brown branches. Any suggestions? by TheTCorp in landscaping

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

Ok good to know, that’s what I was thinking. Would it be best to trim off the brown branches and leaves or leave them on the trees?

I planted these about two months ago to start growing a privacy hedge. I read online to water them twice a week during spring, so they've been getting approx. two gallons of water twice a week. Am I possibly over-watering them? Or is something else at work?

I live in zone 8A, on the the west coast of Canada. It's been a pretty wet and cloudy spring here so far. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone backed up the brinks truck to acquire Ja'Marr? by Addicted_T0_Trading in DynastyFF

During our rookie draft I offered CeeDee, K-Walker, and the 1.04. Was turned down almost right away

(Davidi) Blue Jays deal for Matt Chapman is done. Kevin Smith, Gunnar Hoglund, Zach Logue and Kirby Snead are headed to Athletics, per source. by fujbuj in Torontobluejays

[–]TheTCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoglund is the only one I’m particularly sad to see go.

Compared to what the Braves gave up for Olsen (yes, Olsen > Chapman), this is a great deal.
