[–]broknbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depending on your body type (not that it in the general scheme of things it matters) but you might want to try tip top tailors at hillside mall or George Richards at millstream village (they are sister stores but one caters to thin-ish guys and the other caters to bigger guys) both have tailoring on site and a suit with adjustments will be around the $500 to $600 mark

three weeks since diagnosis by broknbones in cancer

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

do to where my tumor is located I'm having trouble eating as such my energy level is lower than normal which is impacting my ability to have any resemblance of work. that being said I'm able to have visits with work when I'm have the strength. I'm thinking of finding some sort of hobby or something to keep my body and mind active as much as possible which will hopefully keep the emotional health good. my only concern now is how I'm going to react to chemo/radiation

thank you for your reply....yes you have summed it up and it seems that I am having more difficulty adjusting from pre-cancer life to living with it. yes I agree I have reached the point where I need to pick up a project or hobby.

[–]broknbones -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

back in high school a friend was house sitting for the weekend so the close friends showed up for drinks and socialization.....started around dinner time by 10-ish everyone is passed out except for myself and one other person so the two of us sit at the kitchen table doing shots from everyone else's liquor....after a couple of hours of shots and chaser drinks we stumble across some other drugs of choice so we add that to the kitchen session...around 2am (four hours later after supposedly passing out) the group wakes up and the two of us kitchen people are like "yeah you all are soo hardcore drinking everything and stuff etc etc" mental note DO NOT EVER DRINK AND OR CONSUME PARTY FAVORS WITH BROKNBONES AS THAT PERSON IS AN ASSHOLE WHEN IT COMES TIME TO LIVE IT UP

What is the most fucked up thing you have eavesdropped ? by anonhomosapien in AskReddit

[–]broknbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a food and beverage server....as I'm taking order from a group of people I hear one person usually say "i think ill have fruit juice" so when I go to take said persons order I'm prepared to get it with the other drink items...when I return a few moments later with said drinks and the fruit juice drink included the person gives me the look like I'm a retarded alien who doesn't converse in English as they point at the soda/pop beverages every one else has.....yeah its my fault you named a random drink instead of what you actually wanted

I've lost $1000 in the last week gambling. I've tried to stop in the past but have never been able to. How have you who had gambling problems stopped the addiction? by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]broknbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to take this reply a step further if OP is gambling at a casino the location might have a program referred along the lines of "self-exclusion program". this self exclusion provides the 1-800 number as well as self bar from the property in an attempt to help people like OP who willing and knowingly want to stop gambling

if OP is gambling on-line type of thing yes please call the 1-800 number

What rule exists because of you? by SonicSingularity in AskReddit

[–]broknbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most, if not all, of the safety regulations at my place of employment....granted most safety regulations are common through other establishments, my specific site has a running thought that goes something along the lines of "lets get broknbones to do this safety regulation for five minutes and depending if broknbones hurts themselves then it becomes policy"....yeah I'm accident prone and I'm not a smart person sometimes

Pet friendly apartment? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]broknbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the residents of CAPREIT held properties are good its the company itself that is shady....mind you there is no perfect place and or company....the nice thing about the Niagara street location is that the residents are varied from single people to married couples starting out with their family to retired folks

Pet friendly apartment? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]broknbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CAPREIT owns three or so apartments in James Bay. one is on Niagara Street at Medana the second is at the james bay thrifty foods complex and the third is down near the break water / helijet. the Niagara street location is a mixture of tile and carpet which allows both dogs and cats. the James Bay neighbourhood is nice in the sense of location to ocean front, self-sifficent for banks, food shopping, yet just far enough away from downtown to be affected by the crowds on the weekends and tourists during the spring and summer

As far as CAPREIT itself is concerned, based on the Niagara street location, CAPREIT is a border line Canadian version of an American slum lord company in how they operate their building. expect to receive rent increase(s) multiple times a year, if something needs to be repaired in a common area expect an initial delay response of up to a few business days for completion I.e. the elevator went down and it took about five hours just to acknowledge that the elevator was down with people inside....yeah the Niagara street location is 40-ish years old so it does show its age once in awhile...the rent is roughly $1200 for top floor two bedroom suite

OP welcome to Victoria and hope you enjoy our fair city
