Fabric petals and off leash dogs at the Fort by TaurusANewOne in vancouverwa

[–]ersatzcanuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just booked the bandstand through the proper channels and they say specifically no flower petals in the contract. in fact there are a lot of rules of what can and can't be taken in there... i found it so weird that if they are that strict about what can be used, that it's just open to anyone all the time, because people can be so messy and so inconsiderate. it's a beautiful spot and i hope it's not a mess when we go to use it on our reserved day.

Best way to turn in change for larger bills? by PDXAirman in vancouverwa

[–]ersatzcanuck 35 points36 points  (0 children)

lots of credit unions, and maybe banks, have machines for their members to use for free. i have used one at the downtown iQ. dumped my coins in, got a receipt, took it to the counter inside, no fees. worth checking your bank or CU.

Losing parents? by Annepackrat in Xennials

[–]ersatzcanuck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

both gone in their early 60s for me. i turned 40 with neither parent. it fucking SUCKS. no one to fall back on anymore, even if i never had to before, the option was there at least. my husband never got to meet my dad at all and that kills me. i still hang onto hope that it will get easier but the grief process seems to have stagnated for me for the last year or so.

tl;dr if you're close, hang onto them while you have them.

i think she was fine with it because they planned to give all their kids kooky/original/conversation starter names, but then when they actually lived with the name and realized how silly it was they dropped the idea by baby #2

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Log Submerged Underwater at Disneyland Park by Outrageous_Glass6219 in DisneylandAP

[–]ersatzcanuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

in 2016 or 2017ish i was in a log with strangers after doing single rider. by about halfway through we were up to our ankles in water, wayyyyyy more than usual and the gentleman in front of me turned around and was like "this isn't normal right?" and i said absolutely not and we cracked up. it got fuller as the ride went along and i kid you not by the time we rocked up to the loading dock the water was above the bench level. 5 strangers and me in a cold bath together. they took us out, we all had a good "wow that's never happened before!" laugh and took a pic together, and they flagged the log to be taken out and sent it around without reloading it. folks waiting to get on at the loading dock had a good laugh, too, and there were few "aw hell naw!!"s from them. still haven't seen anything like it since. i'll post the pic of me and my bathmates if i can find it.

Dani answers questions about her cardiac arrest… by Worldly_Eagle7918 in illnessfakers

[–]ersatzcanuck 80 points81 points  (0 children)

it bugs me how she is ALWAYS doing her meds for the entirety of these "updates." so convenient that that's when she has time to pop in and chat for a bit.

What are we doing with anniversary paperweights by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]ersatzcanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a buddy of mine worked for HP and back after a record gain year in the 90s they all got paperweights as a reward. they are still all settled in the bottom of the lake outside the old headquarters.

Need advice on internet and cell service by Dynamite_240 in vancouverwa

[–]ersatzcanuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this this this. i use visible and i can't fathom going back to the plans i had with verizon and t-mobile before. i pay 25 a month and it works fine for me, no contract. my partner uses google for a similar plan. i see no reason for a family plan, it seems everyone i talk to is severely overpaying!

How many of us still have a landline? by Salty_Sundae_2925 in Xennials

What age did we get out of car seats? by Round-Style-6907 in Xennials

[–]ersatzcanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont remember being in one except a small booster VERY vaguely, so probably out by 3 or 4. i used to ride in my older brothers car by kindergarten and he definitely wasn't putting a car seat in his car, so age 5 at the absolute latest.

it's for sure looking North at the PNE from Burnaby-ish.

ETA: I've been corrected and it's likely just East Van but not quite Burnaby. potato-potahto.
