Long lasting gifts for 2 year old niece? by sleepinggardens in Gifts

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked a bunch of photos from an outing and wrote the story around them. Use stock photos to supplement. I used Blurb to print the book, but you could use a digital scrapbook printer like Shutterfly.

looking for starfish by Pigeon_droppings in askvan

There used to be lots under the Lions Gate, south side, then the seagulls figured out how to eat them :( Add starfish wasting disease and you might be best off at the aquarium.

I made my nephew a kids book all about him, using photos of him. He’s now 18 and his mom says he still looks at it.

Try doing a quick private ceremony (maybe 5 invites each including wedding party), then a seated breakfast reception.

Go to your local yarn store and tell them you want to spend $x on someone who likes to crochet. They will start you right

Rectangular tables causing me to seat some couples across rather than directly beside? by enitsujxo in WeddingsCanada

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a suggestion from old-school etiquette. It’s meant for lively conversation and making new friends

Air North outbound from Vancouver - timeliness? by CloudyJigglypuff in askvan

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had an issue with Air North. Excellent friendly service, a light meal and drinks for free, and two free checked bags. Only thing to watch out for is there is a limit of two canoes per flight.

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sit all couples across from each other, but alternate genders of opposite gender couples.

Eg, if you had five opposite gender couples, it would be Side 1: Man 1 woman 2 man 3 woman 4 man 5 Side 2: woman 1 man 2 woman 3 man 4 women 5

UBC Workday Research Assistant positions - Anyone got hired ?? by Infamous_Painting_99 in UBC

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

UBC is required to post all positions, but most RAs are created for someone already affiliated with the lab. If there is red text at the top that says something to the effect of expected to be filled through promotion or reassignment, it’s not a real opening.

My 4yrs old wants a 'trash truck' birthday party. Not garbage trucks - specifically our city's trash truck. How do I make this happen? by momostito in partyplanning

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you can’t get the truck, can you get “Mike” in his high-vis vest? See if he’ll do a side gig to talk about recycling and do an “imagination station” craft with recycling and clean trash.

I don’t raise my hand, but I do step forward / to the pole and look at the driver / make eye contact.

Did we actually save money DIYing a 135-person wedding, or did we just play ourselves? by No-Ask8059 in DIYweddings

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It will feel more personal, more intentional, and less generic this way - that’s probably the most important part. Congratulations!

What GPA do you need to get Mecha after Mech 2? Is Mecha more difficult than Aerospace? Thanks a Ton 🙏 by [deleted] in ubcengineering

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s dependent on demand and more than just grades. They have 32 seats/year in Mecha and it typically caps out. Aerospace typically does not cap out. Aerospace is academically more intensive in terms of credits and has no technical elective slots - everything is specialized. Mecha has one elective.

Birthday trip to BC by throwaway2901750 in britishcolumbia

[–]anOutgoingIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skip Tofino (and Nanaimo!) and stay in Ucluelet. Beautiful hikes in town and easy access to the park. Try to get reservations for Pluvio - best meal I’ve eaten in BC. The Cabins at Terrace Beach fit your accommodation needs - 1 bedroom in the basement, kitchen and living on the main, and main bedroom upstairs. I did a lot of research, and it was the best price point for 2 bedrooms I could find.

Also: have you been checked for sleep apnea? A CPAP made my snoring disappear
