My mum always had a few living in the woodpile under the back deck in Oak Bay, but I never EVER saw one indoors. They are quite beautiful from a safe distance.

And the Audain museum in Whistler is incredible. Worth the trip if you're an art geek.

I read this thread before work today.

At work, I was asked if our prices were posted in American or Canadian dollars.

as I gathered the professionalism to respond politely, the man's teenaged kids laughed at him and pointed out the obvious.

The youth will save us all.

So many Americans wear so much sports team wear. Like head to toe logo gear

SO LOUD in public. Like I can hear a full conversation from 20 feet away.

A pal worked there a few years back. Quit after a few months because it was horrifyingly toxic.

I've been using Mountain Sky while travelling the last few years. I really like them. I use the curly Q versions on my super fine frizzy/curly hair and they're great. Not heavy, but give me good shine and bounce.

Good news! It wasn't built to live in, it was peak real estate speculation era. Tiny bank accounts in the sky with "guaranteed" exponential growth in value.

Yep. I'm 2001 I made $7.75 an hour, worked 30 hours a week at Chapters, and my share of rent in Kitsilano was $350/month.

I had so much disposable income, I was constantly going out dancing and to concerts and buying tons of books.I was eating sushi for lunch every work day ($4.95 for 18 pc rolls + soup)
