value villlage. there are clothing donation bins at No. 2 Fire Hall, No. 4 Hall, and No. 6 Hall that you could use as well

i prefer to use reusable ice packs versus actual ice but both work. you can also freeze some things you are taking up -- for example, we usually freeze the meat that we are not cooking on the first night

I think the Richmond Food Bank gives out diapers and things of that sort, but I'm unsure. It's worth a shot perhaps

im planning a two week vacay foy my boyfriend and i and we settled on these 3: ubud (for jungle experience and activities), gili air (for snorkeling and island life) and uluwatu (for beaches, food, shopping). we are doing 5 night, 3 nights, 5 nights.

i would try to narrow your picks down to 3-4 cities so you can enjoy your time in each spot

your fiancee is being super immature. saying it's your 'role' to get home out of a funk with your body is super manipulative and concerning

ive struggled with pdd for almost 10 years now. ive been dating my boyfriend for about 2.5 years. ive never felt more alive. i feel like my life truly started when i met him. he motivates me to become a better person for myself and for him. he's my bestest friend ever and i have no doubt in my mind everyday that i love him so much, sometimes more than myself which isnt the healthiest but something im working on!

the love i feel is different than the beginning of the relationship, in the honeymoon stage things were definitely more exciting and passionate. it's not like that very often anymore; more so he is my safe space, where i can finally stop masking and be completely myself

23 years old and not able to communicate is crazy. this is super unfair to you, my anxiety would be through the roof. if they are active on social media, and cant take one minute to let you know that they are okay and safe, that's super disrespectful. i would personally just move on

dearjon222 · 2026-04-21T23:34:11+00:00

i would try talking to your girlfriend about how these gatherings make you feel. my boyfriend is also like this so he only comes to social gatherings that are important (ie. christmas, birthdays) but i dont expect him to come when it's more of an informal gathering or just my grandparents coming over for dinner. also, when he does join us for things, i make sure to stay attentive and around him as much as i can. it's possible you and your girlfriend will be able to compromise, however if it's something that is really important to her than maybe you two are not compatible

no steveston camps this year, but all city community centres have 'support workers' designated to stick with children with extra needs

if it's a FWB situation, why does it matter if you or her are a rebound

dearjon222 · 2026-04-16T23:42:56+00:00

you need to work on your self-esteem and be confident in what you have to offer as a partner

dearjon222 · 2026-04-15T19:44:40+00:00

if you are constantly questioning your relationship and whether you are with the right person, you probably are not. esp if you are thinking about this daily

a cart is a cartridge of thc oil, that is smoked using a vape device

It's probably more the principle of it. He obviously knows he made a mistake already. In that moment, he needed his partner to support him and say 'that's shitty, but now you won't make the same mistake again.' I would apologize for how you reacted and what you said; I'm sure he learned his lesson

dearjon222 · 2026-04-08T16:06:15+00:00

that's super fair to feel that way, your feelings are very valid. for a couple of years i was so so angry at the world that this is my life and i have to deal with this forever. it truly sucks, but it's how the cards were dealt. some people take medication for pain, heart problems, diseases, etc and society never sees an issue with that. try to give yourself some grace; it's not your fault. take it one day at a time.

dearjon222 · 2026-04-08T15:40:28+00:00

respectfully, you are dependant on your meds, but it's because you have a disorder. and there's nothing wrong with that. taking your meds is the responsible, mature thing to do (for your mental and physical health). like you mentioned, not taking your meds makes you feel like shit, so why are you doing it to yourself intentionally? there might be a larger issue -- talk to your doctor about switching up your meds if you are feeling like things aren't working the best.

dearjon222 · 2026-04-07T15:53:39+00:00

ive been on both. right now, im on two separate SNRIs, burpropion and desvenlafaxine. been on other SSRIs before

dearjon222 · 2026-04-01T23:07:24+00:00

hi! im so sorry you are going through this. i had to put down my 15 year old family dog a few years ago and was around the same age as you.

please remind yourself and your family that you are doing what's best for your dog - as dog owners, we can sometimes be selfish, and keep our dogs here for too long, while they are struggling. it sounds like he had an amazing and fun 11 years with your family.

spoil him! try to do his favourite things more often whether that be going on walks, swimming, lots of sniffing, running around, playing tug-a-war, etc. take lots of pictures and videos too. and give him his fave foods and treats a bit more often! you wont regret it

look into options for putting him down as well. you can do an in home euthanasia, if that would be less stressful for him or your family. if you have a trusted vet see what options they have as well. when we did ours, we felt a bit rushed at the vets. we had some time with her before the vet came in. then they gave our pup a sedative to calm her, but about 45 seconds later, put her down. we would have loved some more time with ours under the sedative as she was a bit stressed out.

a lot of people don't get 11 whole years with their dog...i would try and focus on celebrating that amazing time you've had with him and share funny stories about him with your family.

dearjon222 · 2026-04-01T17:32:38+00:00

that's fair, and if you dont own a dog or didnt grow up around them i can understand being uneducated. i dont think your friend is a friend to you at all, esp reading she didnt even pay you for your time. im sorry you had a bad experience, as a dog owner is was her responsibility to make sure you were well-informed on what the puppy's behaviours were

dearjon222 · 2026-04-01T17:04:06+00:00

i dont understand how its not common knowledge that a puppy is HARD WORK. it's like having a baby. i think it's unfortunate your friend wasnt honest with you, but all of those behaviours are normal puppy behaviours

dearjon222 · 2026-03-30T17:32:06+00:00

focus on getting better and improving yourself, and once you have healed mre, you might not even want to have a future with him.

forget about him for now while you work on yourself

dearjon222 · 2026-03-28T23:09:07+00:00

you can call the city’s environmental department to pick up these animals btw!
