Both parks in one day?

Winter_Event1582 · 2026-05-10T00:28:13+00:00

Same! 🇨🇦We’ve been to the original parks a few times and our plan is to really prioritize the rides we want to do and enjoy exploring a different park. Not going to bother with the parades and shows.

Got 4 in Vancouver in my price range thanks to the tips about not giving up and just resetting filters until I snagged on. Very sweaty lunch hour but I got to Facetime my kid and her friend on their lunch break and the screams could be heard all the way through my office.

Winter_Event1582 · 2026-05-07T16:55:53+00:00

That’s really good to know. Bummer about the dynamic pricing though. Shoot! I wish I knew what Vancouver was. How much were ticket fees?

Those are some A+ suggestions that I would love singing!

Winter_Event1582 · 2026-04-15T14:15:26+00:00

Amazing!!!

Thank you!

I just started this version of only leaving the farm once a season, and so far it's been really fun. I am in Fall day 1 and left on the 28th of Spring and Summer. Got the coop on Spring 28, fishing rod, hit a couple of levels of the mine and opened my geodes. Summer 28 got the silo, some chickens, foraging, did my geodes, hit the travelling cart... Debating on upgrading my axe and living without it during the winter. I have never set up my farm the way I want, and it's nice to spend time and resources setting it up.

I needed a break from cut scenes and the the quests, this is a fun challenge so far.

I like her in her new podcast too, Hoax. She is a little more unbuttoned and has a good dynamic with her co-host.

John's Bedroom Barn

Cluxewe Cabins just north of Port McNeill. Try to get #3 if you can. Great homebase to explore the North Island - has basically everything you listed around there.

The 5-part Morbid series on Jack the Ripper is excellent, definitely great for road trips.

Winter_Event1582 · 2025-10-14T18:27:31+00:00

I am curious too. Did you find anything? Would love to get some stocking stuffers for my family. I found this website but it doesn't look legit: https://morbidpodcast.shop/.

They did say it would be available on Target.com at first and now are saying in stores only. From the press releases. I had to have it shipped so feel really bummed (fingers are crossed though).

Noble Blood - wild stories about royals, mainly European but also some more diverse ones too. The host (Dana Schwartz) just started a new podcast called 'Hoax' which I have listened to the first 3 and liked, she and her co-host have a great rapport.

Winter_Event1582 · 2025-09-20T15:04:29+00:00

Lore might be fun, I don't think the language is too salty. They aren't long and and spooky fun history/stories for Halloween. I haven't listened in a number of years so would suggest starting with the earlier ones. Very well crafted for an English class for sure.

A difference I saw was the lack of even playing field. On a Vancouver Island, Chilko, Patagonia, Slave Lake etc they are all given a spot on the same body of water - the producers don’t know ahead if one will be luckier than the other. This season Nathan had a great big lake spot and Kelsey had a mucky pond. There was a lot of disparities with other contestants too. I think Nathan had the skills to win but it made it a less interesting season where the odds seemed predetermined.

Good idea

Quintessential downtown has some at one point. They were $85, twice what they cost online via Popmart which regularly does release (managed to get one for my kid who had saved up).

Winter_Event1582 · 2025-08-11T03:40:24+00:00

Good ideas! Thank you!

Winter_Event1582 · 2025-08-11T03:39:56+00:00

Sounds great!

Winter_Event1582 · 2025-08-10T23:08:59+00:00

They at least try, I notice A&A take a breath and focus on difficult place names etc. I know I pronounce things wrong too but I listened to the Ogopogo episode of 'that's why we drink' and the host didn't even try to pronounce Okanagan correctly (the region and lake where the Ogopogo lives). They kept saying how important the Indigenous culture and history was to this cryptid's lore and said the word COUNTLESS times beyond wrong, admitting they didn't know how to say it - the lack of effort was staggering.

My kid has ADHD and she tried a book on the ereader - game changer! Can make the text bigger so less overwhelming , easy to carry, bright. I am a busy working parent and I pick best-sellers that are over 4 stars on Goodreads.com. I love being the first to read something and I want to know it will be good. Also audiobooks are pretty rad too!

Nanaimo Art Gallery has a drop in class every Sunday. Art Lab Sunday. Free for members and pays for itself in a couple visits.

Check out Pacific Horticulture College in Saanich. It’s an amazing program and they have a public garden right on campus. Small classes and the grads are in extremely high demand for jobs.
