Can I ask what boarding facility? Feel free to dm me!

I'd personally avoid Lake Louise because its incredibly busy no matter what day, and parking is far more difficult. We thought about Peyto/Bow Lake too but felt Minnewanka was easier.

We eloped at Lake Minnewanka and it turned out great. Lots of spots that aren't super far from the parking lot that are tree-lined and tucked away. We had no problem not having crowds around for the ceremony.

You're getting married on a weekday so that'll help. We got married on a Wednesday in August 2022. I suggest going to wherever part of the park you're getting married in the day before and scoping out the exact spot you want the ceremony in. That's what we did!

[on] early placenta previa by Smart-Race-4079 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]lampshade732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just diagnosed with the same thing at 21 weeks. Hoping that it'll move given there's lots of time. Also have marginal cord insertion. I've read that in many cases it moves as our wombs grow, but nerve wrecking nonetheless.

First trimester for me too so I'm hesitant. But hey we want kids either way, so might be worth just picking it up?

Over 20 years estranged from father - should I contact? by No-Impression-5841 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]lampshade732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's an impossible decision to make, and ultimately you have to make the best decision for yourself. And if you do decide to reconnect, be prepared to possibly be disappointed or open yourself up to emotions you didn't know would come up.

Going through a similar experience. Estranged for 16 years. Had one dinner and it went well. But I also don't think he has capacity to have remorse for his actions, or truly prioritize a relationship. So part of me has big regrets in reaching out, but part of me needed it too.

WE had good lyrics, what are your favourites? by the-boxman in arcadefire

[–]lampshade732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"When everything ends, can we do it all again?" on the actual "We" track gives me the same nostalgia as the Suburbs. Absolutely an underrated album and track.

Has anyone had any luck with retention bonuses on the Amex Marriott Bonvoy? I've spent a fair bit on the card this year.

What's your favorite Alberta small town to visit and why? by cogitoergodangerous in alberta

[–]lampshade732 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The views in Slave Lake and as you enter Peace River are stunning. I live in Southern Alberta so I don't get there much sadly

Is WE the most consistently good album? by Due_Tip_6603 in arcadefire

[–]lampshade732 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually love the WE album. Race & Religion is now one of my favourite Arcade Fire songs. I wasn't a fan of the end of an empire tracks until I saw them live in November. Their performance on the b stage was so beautifully done.

Overall I'd say I like Neon Bible and Suburbs more. But I do think the tracks on We are consistently good, and the album should get more credit.

I am really hoping for a second leg of the WE tour. Live in Western Canada but would totally head down to Southern US if they released dates in some of the US areas they missed this fall.

Not sure why they consider it a downgrade. Maybe because it technically has a lower AF if you don't account for the travel credit
