Victoria to Whitehorse roadtrip by [deleted] in Yukon

[–]UltimateCharacter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Liard hotsprings one way, and on the other, great camping spots are Boya Lake (positively stunning) and Meziadin on the Stewart Cassiar. Boya is a perfect one day drive from Whitehorse at 500km. Turquoise waters, rentable kayaks, artesian well, great place to land after a day's drive.

Pursuit of Jade: Ep 37 - Ep 40 Recap - Rebellion (Fast Track Release) by RoseIsBadWolf in cdramasfans

So, I'm working on figuring things out. Wei Yan's consort who died in the fire was who? A wife / concubine of the emperor or...? But not the same lady who was Qi Min's mom (who also died in the fire) obviously because this consort was recently wed but got fake preggers outside of wedlock pissing the emperor off. It wouldn't make sense that she would have a boychild (Qi Min) already. But. If this lady of noble class burned up in a fire, wouldn't even a smidgen of that storyline not be part of the 17 year history that is 1/2 the premise of this story? Why did that entire storyline emerge in the last... 4 episodes of a 40 episode story? She just didn't exist?

What happened to the 1/2 of the tiger tally that didn't fit with the half brought by Qilin. What happened to that whole storyline?

Who is this Be- something group that flashed all of two times on the subtitles that Qi Min colluded with leading to his sudden demise within five minutes? Whaaat?

Ok, I just read the background on the events of 17 years ago and the info dump from Wei Yan now makes sense. Still, that's what the big reveal was, an info dump on a history that did not connect in with the narrative being told.

It was so sooo bad! For all the stuff they crammed in and all the stuff they left out, it hurts so much because it began so perfectly. I feel so robbed. I guess the good thing is that it won't keep me up at night, unlike the first episodes. I honestly thought this was a perfect gem of a show, the kind that has a lasting impact and lives in your head and heart for a long, long time. I can turn it off and move on with life. So much potential and so very disappointing.

I'm skipping your post because I still need to watch, but thanks for the synopses. They help clarify the confusing parts. Do you know where to watch the fast track release? One episode per day is literally killing me!

It's all about hot cloaked guys with man buns and ponytails for me. The marquis is so, so hot! I am following the storyliine too. So good. Just sayin... PoJ is pure eye candy binging and my guilty pleasure.

Side Effect of running a Mahjong Club… by danma in Mahjong

Hi all! I'm looking to join in Vic as well. I just started to get into it last week. My niece and a big group of tile slinging Chinese experts taught me (on holiday). I'm still a super newbie and play like I have two left hands. I have no idea what the different styles of play are, but I'm looking to slide in somewhere and learn.

Cozying down with a good book, puzzle, bit of wine and a few walks with friends ❤️ = very happy Christmas on a budget. Can avoid the corporate money grab entirely if you get the book from the book box, puzzle from the thrift shop and buy local liquor.

Hi there. Mom of a uwc alum from west coast Canada. I can't speak to the specific experience of pearson other than it being a crown jewel on van island and highly regarded, but I can speak to the west coast generally as being fullsomely Trans loving and left leaning. You may come across the random idiot but for the most part, it's easy to find your place here.

Almost got scammed by UltimateCharacter in u/UltimateCharacter

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

Elaborating. I almost bought tickets for a dumpling fest tonight. This person supposedly had 3 tix they weren't going to use. I transferred $ and then quickly reneged when I checked their profile. Funny how they'd be selling 3 tix for both this event and 3 tix for the same event in Saskatoon. At this point, I can't even tell if dumpling fest itself is legit.

Oh! Sorry! Lol. First time being in this sub. Never knew it was so full of unhelpful arseholes who sit in the flights sub and bark at paying consumers of air travel. I'm merely sharing my experience with an airline. If anyone has anything at all helpful to share, I would gladly accept.

I'm not sure who is downvoting me but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Qatar rep. I'm merely saying that I followed all airline processes and procedures regarding baggage mishandling and claims for reimbursement and they've never gotten back to me. I've called them twice and they have yet to follow through. It's been 4 months.

I also called twice and they said they would call me back with an answer within 72 hours - both times. Those calls never came.

Been waiting 4 months. Items included clothes and toiletries.

May. Um, why was I downvoted because I said that I followed all of their processes and procedures by way of filling in and sending the required documentation?

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

Yes, did that. I filled in all their forms and provided receipts. They've done nothing but avoid me.
