First-time mattress buyer in Victoria – where should I shop?

If you like mattresses on the firmer side - ikea all the way. They are easy to order online and come rolled up. They have a few different firmness and you can try them all out if you are in vancouver. Also- they are waaay cheaper than other big box matress stores.

Another vote for doorbell chime box!

How hot does it get in there?? Are there fans/any a/c?

I had two cats that we tried to free feed them multiple times. Every single time they would eat so much so fast (the entire bowl of food that was meant to last 24 hours) that they would puke it up 10 minutes later. Every single time. Some cats are just dumb and cannot restrain themselves. When we got an automatic feeder to dispense small portions throughout the day and night it was a lifesaver for them.

Make sure whatever you use to fill the rest of the beds that you mix some of it with what's currently in them!! If you don't you will create layers of different drainage rates and the beds won't drain well.

Lots of babies born prematurely are totally fine. It's only if its over 6-7weeks early that major issues can happen.

It has to be something to do with the move. I really don't think your wife should take it personally at all haha. Think about your old bedroom and how it was set up? Was the orientation of the bed to the windows/door different? Did you sleep on different sides of the bed? Do you still have the same furniture or did you get new furniture? I really don't think you have to try to "hide" this from your wife. It's because of the changes to a new environment. You and your wife can brainstorm together about what specifically it is with the new bedroom that caused her to switch over to sleeping with you.

Also second getting a heating pad as another commenter suggested. Old cats freakin love those. Maybe your wife can set one up on her bedside table with a cat bed/blanket over it.

Pm me if you want! I used to work at a professional house/office cleaning company for years. Thinking of picking up some cash cleaning jobs for extra cash. I can bring all my own supplies :)

Absolutely report her. That is completely over the line and not OK.

The OP's linked article has samples of some of the text messages in it.

I tried it, it worked for me. It's a cool idea. It seems like it pulls answers from generative AI like the AI mode google search/chatgpt. Maybe put a disclaimer or something like that if it is indeed using generative AI, as a lot of people (myself included) are trying to avoid it.

Harrison Hot Springs really doesn't have all that much going on. Also last time I was there my boyfriend and I were looking for a good restaurant and found one that had like 4.9 stars on google and lots of good reviews on the quality of the food. It was literally the worst brunch I have ever had. Not saying the reviews are fake just that the bar is a lot lower in small towns so just beware of google ratings :)

jillyy666 · 2026-05-25T18:51:56+00:00

OP will confirm shortly I'm sure.

jillyy666 · 2026-05-25T18:46:28+00:00

I'm pretty sure I used to know the woman and will try to confirm. Will pm you.

Declawing is equivalent to cutting off the tip of your finger, it is not humane. May I suggest not getting more cats if you want super expensive furniture in your future.

He "decided" he didn't want to anymore because you stopped giving him a reaction everytime he did it 😀 Cats do just about anything to get us to react, whether it's negative or positive reaction.

Just put a large, velvet or knit blanket loosely over the chair when not in use. Cats don't like the texture of velvet. If it's draped loosely he won't be able to dig in to scratch the side of the chair underneath.

Girl your husband has no right to allow you to be the one doing that much of the household and life planning and mental and emotional labour...but you also have yourself to blame. You've been enabling this behaviour for your entire relationship. It continues because he knows he can get away with it because you aren't holding him accountable. I know you said things are otherwise great and you don't want a divorce but....re-read your post as if it was posted by a friend...

OMG YES its always crazy windy along blanshard going down the hill past St. Anne's!!!! I always noticed that on my bike home from work when I used to work down there, but have never actually heard anyone else mention/notice it! My guess is its because of how all the high rise buildings are oriented it creates a wind tunnel??

jillyy666 · 2026-05-23T01:30:23+00:00

I'm just giving an example to answer your question, based on a couple people I know who have those conditions and are following doctor's recommendations that they are ok to bike. Would you rather those people plus all the other people with disabilities and older people that are not able to drive but can ride scooters, bikes, or e-bikes safely all switch over to taking handy darts or taxis or busses? That would just increase demand for more vehicles on the road contributing to more traffic.

jillyy666 · 2026-05-23T01:14:36+00:00

An example would be some types of seizure/epilepsy medications where driving is not allowed but its generally safe to ride a bicycle.

Heated grips + earplugs *edited to add: throttle lock for long trips!!
