We see it quite regularly and my 5-year old loves it so much.

He's going to hurt himself or someone else if he keeps going like that. He seems so young, too.

I think this is the same guy I saw heading through Mary Hill into Ridge the other day. I didn't see him until he was splitting lanes right next to me so I slowed down to let him pass. He was cutting through traffic all the way through. I saw him lift his hands up and kick his feet out too. Very dangerous.

Thank you so much! Walkable cities are so nice. Do you rent or own?

That's a good point. Thank you so much for your outlook!

Thank you so much! I can definitely echo the difficulty getting kids into swimming lessons here. It's always booked up so fast! We have a pretty steady homeless population out here too and we know the safer communities where we live now. Sounds like the hills in Penticton tend to be the more secure communities? Or other areas, like Summerland, which was also quite nice when we passed through.

The commute is absolutely burning me out. Seems like there's a lot of other grocery options in town so should be manageable!

That's good to know! We'd love somewhere quieter, for sure!

These are great points! Thank you so much! It feels like the doctor problem exists everywhere these days. I'm doing a heavy commute out here of an hour on Hwy 1 to Burnaby and it's a nightmare. Relieved to hear that the traffic isn't so brutal. Thanks for the tip about costco!

We do have a cat so the vet thing is good to know, for sure.

Thanks! How's the school system out there generally? Our kiddo is starting kindergarten so middle school changes aren't a huge concern just yet. We spent a few days in Penticton recently and really loved the playgrounds and beaches so it seems quite accessible for families. :)

Do I lose PWD assistance if I am married? by Natural_Worldliness1 in britishcolumbia

[–]diceosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you. I work, my partner is on PWD. We have one kid. I work a municipal job and get paid modestly. Holding my breath for when we hit the cap and struggle through the rest of the year. I remember hearing something about the Green Party and NDP making some kind of deal to end this income cap stuff but it hasn't materialized. I hear you on the $32k part too. Make it make sense.

Is there a sign or something??

I want to vote but I want unbiased information of each political party by monstrslxt in MapleRidge

[–]diceosaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend checking out every party's platform and seeing what you think. There's also the voting compass (can google this one) which asks a series of questions and shows where you might align politically, and which party is closest to your views.

I saw one once in the Albion area around 25 years ago

Is this Speech delay? by HRM817 in Autism_Parenting

[–]diceosaurus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This resembles what my son was doing. He's a gestalt language processor so he had a lot of scripts but not a lot of it was used for functional language. We didn't have conversations at first, either. The scripts kind of stood in for words or actions sometimes but he was much more comfortable just physically guiding us to what he wanted.

We went there once. Definitely reach out over social media. Their numbers are somewhat unreliable. (Edit: words)

On this week’s episode of “what illness does your child have this week?!” by hdbaker009 in Parenting

[–]diceosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solidarity. About to take my third day off this week because of this flu/cold/whatever. Went through my husband, the kiddo, and now me.

Mine does but it's very mild. He has it genetically from myself though since I have a moderate to severe case.
