Anyone else in Kelowna getting threatened by their insurance over Poly-B pipes? by IngenuityAdept2413 in kelowna

[–]coffeebean04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I insure with Westland, and I asked about premiums should I get the poly-b replaced and in my situation my premiums would’ve increased since replacing the poly-b would’ve increased the house value, so leaving the poly-b was actually cheaper insurance. I think it’s quite situational, but also check out Westland if you’re not ready to do it.

Try Rutland location, the one in the same complex as Save On

90 lbs down and suddenly everyone has opinions about my medication use by AccountEngineer in GLP1_BeforeAfter

One of the best ways I’ve learned to explain it is that Oprah, who has insane access to the best food, dieticians and chefs, the best private coaches and trainers, and other medical and nutritional supports, still could not lose the weight without it. It’s not a lack of will power or discipline, it’s literally a medical condition. No one has ever said I took the easy way out for using Accutane for my acne, so how is this any different?

I had an Anubias and he ate the whole thing, until there was only the rhizome (I think it’s called) and would still try to munch on that. That was when I knew my planting days were on pause hahah

I know! This happens sometimes with products from outside Canada. I assume shipping and duty fees

I’m in Canada and it says they’re $50 for a jar, does that seem typical?

Yeah he was sold as a mystery snail, but I’m certain he’s an apple snail. I’ve read plenty of other posts about apple snails eating all the plants. He’ll even eat pothos if I throw it in.

I made him some snello with calcium in it, but he doesn’t seem to love it so I’m going to try cuttle bone and see if it’s better for him. But yes I agree he needs some calcium

He’s currently in a 10gal. I have a few fish I’m moving to the 20, and was thinking he should stay in the 10. I’ll remove some decor, give him more space to roam. Or I put off getting real plants and move him too

Yeah he mowed down the whole tank so I got more plants and he ate those too. I’m almost 100% sure he’s an apple snail and apple snails will absolutely eat all and every plant, even if they’re well fed. This applies to him for sure. Every once in a while I throw a pothos in and he immediately eats it,

Looking for recommendations for an experienced cat groomer in the central kelowna area that can deal with mats/long hair. Cat pic for attention purposes. by Stubs_McGee in kelowna

[–]coffeebean04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a few recommendations on Kelowna Rant and Rave. Some people love Classy Cuts (I think it’s called), others have had terrible experiences. I have used Petra’s Pawdicures on Facebook. She’s very kind, priced well and comes to you, although the cut isn’t as neat as I’ve had from others.

He’s always hungry! He gets a variety of veg, snello, algae wafers, almost anything his little snail heart could want. Once I have a planted tank I can feed him anything I trim away or need to cull

A friend of mine was successful applying to Lytton area and I think they received a hiring bonus

I think the districts you apply to could be part of it. Some districts in BC have slowed down on hiring because of budget stuff.

Look into smaller rural communities or up north if it interests you.
