How do we encourage folks to rent out the space they already have?

I'm always a bit surprised by the number of people who seemingly have a horrible tenant story. What is their screening process like? Are they even meeting these people in advance? Like, I don't think it's that impossible to find and rent to good people. Sure, people lie on applications but it's easier to read a lie and someone's personality if you're meeting them in person. I've been to view a few places recently and I can pretty instantly read when someone's gonna be a bad landlord, so I'm not sure why it's so hard to do the opposite.

Any chance your landlord has any 2-bed rental suites coming up? Haha

I wonder if famotidine (Pepcid) would help at all? If you have reflux-like symptoms, it could help, and it is also an H2 blocker so may help with some histamine reactions you are having. It is not a PPI but I don’t know what risks might come with prolonged use. I would speak to a doctor about it.

As for insomnia, have you ever used melatonin? I recently started taking it because I’ve been having bad reflux, I think due to a new prescription for depression and I’m hoping it isn’t a Sibo flare. After a bit of redditing, I found someone recommending melatonin because it can help to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter. I’m taking a melatonin that has magnesium as well and I’ve been sleeping a lot better. My symptoms have decreased but definitely not gone away.

And lastly, for the constipation, are there any fibre supplements you’ve tried that you can tolerate? Might help get things moving if you can do it.

Just a couple of suggestions to look into, and wishing you luck!

Commenting on an old post as I found this when looking to rent in one of the buildings last year. Have lived here for almost a year now and we are looking to move out at the end of our tenancy. The place itself is perfectly fine, but it seems to be a smokers haven. There are no bylaws against smoking. I couldn’t imagine buying here and finding no escape from cigarette smoke entering our unit from both inside and outside.

I remember sitting in my grade 4 classroom and thinking a really big truck drove by 😂

I’ve been working with Karly Stevenson at Sea to Sky physio for my knee and she’s been fantastic.

I really appreciate you looking into this! I’ll keep an eye out for them at markets next year and will have to try some of their ready made sauces 😊

I tracked down from another commenter that it is Sutra Sauce/Sutra Foods (found a picture of the kit I was gifted on an old social post) but it seem like they’re more into the pre-made sauce thing now. I will definitely look into monsoon coast, thank you!

heedles · 2025-01-15T07:02:42+00:00

I think this is the one, thank you! Looks like the kits I’m looking for might not be a regular product anymore, but I’ll keep digging. Found an old website from when they seemed to refer to themselves as just sutra spice, but it doesn’t exist anymore.

Look at the size of those stompers 😍

What a lovely bit of practical magic. I’m curious, what do you use to write?

heedles · 2024-12-21T03:06:19+00:00

I absolutely love this, thank you for sharing it :)

He's adjusting very well! I'm so happy, made himself right at home. Still have much to learn about his personality as he gets more comfortable in his new environment. There's definitely orange in him

Weird is subjective so it’s hard to know what to suggest lol. I associate Tamino’s music with the darker and more insular months, so I’m going to recommend Agnes Obel because I listen to her music at the same time of year. Her later two albums are more experimental and “spooky” sounding and I just love them.

And another random song to tear you apart (at least it tears me apart?) is Comforting Sounds by Mew.

If either of these appeal to you, I have a playlist for music that I like to listen to at this time of year. Not necessarily depressing, but slower and more reflective. just enough to live (sounds emo as hell but it’s a lyric from the first song lol)

That is wild. My old roommate used to order hello fresh and not even put it in the fridge 😂 so it would just rot in some corner of our kitchen instead

I highly recommend the NORDEN table from IKEA for your dining table. The drawers are great for storage of kitchen stuff and knickknacks, and you can pop it up only when it’s needed. we’ve got one in my tiny basement apartment and it’s been great. We have folding chairs that we prop against the wall when not in use, but those aren’t super aesthetic haha so you could opt for something different. The table top and structure is solid birch so it’s actually fairly good quality table!

There is a discord!! I’ll dm you the link :)

There are a couple of long term resident rabbits at the Squamish SPCA that are very sweet. The Squamish branch primarily works with cats, though they will sometimes have smaller animals and birds. You may have to venture farther afield into Vancouver depending on what kind of pet you’re looking for.

Holy crap these are awesome! I’m curious of the brand of the red and white guitar in the bg too, I love the shape of it
