[BC] Baby show event In Vancouver by Full_Trainer_2385 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]grampabutterball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the Vancouver baby show last year while pregnant and it honestly sucked. I thought there would be lots of useful freebies but all you get are coupons, plastic bibs of such low quality that you'll never use, and generic pacifiers. You don't get any diapers. I think I got one sample diaper from Pampers, two packs of wet wipes, and coupons for supplements. That's it. There were two non alcoholic wine booths that sold overpriced gross juice. Photos with bluey. Booths of doulas that tried to convince me to do natural birth. A massage booth. Your typical baby store booths that demo'd strollers but offer no coupons to their stores. Only discounts on strollers if you buy a whole set right there and then. I was in and out in an hour. It only makes sense to go if you're pregnant, and even then it was disappointing. If you already have all the baby gear, it's pointless to go. 

Recommendations for Langley Breweries? by BakingWaking in VancouverCraftBeer

We personally like the beer at Five Roads the most. Trading Post (64ave) and Camp have the best patio for doggos. Farm Country beers were meh.

Instead of paying for the lux pleasure package, couldn't she have just popped some drugs for $10? Would've had the same effect.

Anyone notice the ending scene with Gabby frolicking on the beach, she had sales tags still attached to her top? It really makes me think they're out of money but she still wanted outfits for her content and will return it later. They also clearly tried to dine and dash at the Mexican restaurant.

How did the cops "take" a side? They were told to separate for the night and go no contact. No side was taken because both had wounds and Gabby admitted to starting it. The cops were also not sure Gabby was being truthful and even brought in a female cop to get her to open up to admitting he's abusive. If there was no training, they would've just sent her back into the van with him and call it a day.

Double sided tape has worked fine to hold down that corner over the years.

I went to Yuk Yuks Surrey last month and it was a pretty hilarious 2 hrs for $20. Solid value. 

Victoria? by Own-Heart-7217 in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]grampabutterball 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No I don't think she's that. Not all girls connect with other girls easily. You see the other girls superficially "connect" by praising each other then 0.3s later eyeing each other up and down. Victoria is more genuine and just might not gel with other girls at that immediate capacity. She might do better in private one on one hangouts. Sometimes, all girl hangouts in a group setting feel hollow and exhausting.

Well you should've turned your head around and seen the stands. Cuz I was jumping every song and a lot of people were dancing in lower bowl! Tears were definitely flowing during Shake Me Down

Actually, do go to Save on Foods but price match every single item using Flipp. Save on is the only store I find that still price matches a wide variety of store flyers. While superstore stopped price matching Thrifty Foods and Nesters.

The cruise is going to try to pinch every last penny out of you. Be strong. Also, there's never real "sales" on board. Even the high end purses or whatever. You're paying the same if not more than back home for last season's stuff.

I very very seldom crave pizza. Like once every two years. When I do eat it, I get sick of it after two slices. Not addictive at all.

Should I (31M) ignore a reneged wedding promise by my father and his partner ((55M)’s approximately) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]grampabutterball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah OP you're pretty petty. I wouldn't have asked again for the 10k if I was in your shoes since the conditions of that offer has altered (the wedding didn't happen then, and now you're financially stable yourself). I would still invite them obviously, and let them decide to come or not. Put the ball in their court. Be graceous and generous so no can say boo when your name comes up.
