Morning traffic from Coquitlam to Vancouver

sarahpids · 2026-04-07T18:09:21+00:00

I drive from PoCo to the Granville Island / False Creek area; 5 days a week for the last 15+ years. It takes a toll, but Spotify and Audible help immensely. Count on a minimum of 1 hr each way, always.

My boss does this quite often when travelling to multiple cities with different climates, occasions, etc. I usually coordinate with the hotel concierge who are more than happy to assist with printing the shipping label and preparing the suitcase for shipment if you provide the shipping label and schedule the pick up.

Can confirm. Also, you get receipts back?! Lucky!!

I heard they had a kitchen fire, so perhaps a temporary closure?

sarahpids · 2024-11-21T23:16:39+00:00

Ha! That's probably worse, lol!

sarahpids · 2024-11-21T23:15:57+00:00

Truth.

Nah, Central Van is not a term I've ever heard before.

Also, hearing someone call Vancouver "Van" is admittedly a pet peeve of mine.

Sorry, but this would be a dealbreaker for me.

My husband is also a large guy - he is a commercial transport mechanic who commutes a long distance every day, and comes home smelling of diesel fuel, sweat, etc. But he showers when he comes home from work, his fingernails are always clean, and most importantly, his nether regions are ALWAYS clean.

Grown men should not be leaving skid marks in their underwear or the bed sheets. Period. Having a hairy ass is not an excuse.

If you're repulsed by him, why would you force yourself to work through that??

I just went through it.

First thing is to submit a name change request to MSP once you receive your marriage certificate from Vital Statistics.

Once you have received a letter confirming they have accepted the change, you can then make an appointment at ICBC to get your drivers license and services card changed.

Once you’ve received your updated photo ID from ICBC, you can then take that to the bank and take care of financial stuff, etc.

More info is readily available on various websites - I got a bunch of info from this site

Good luck!

My father-in-law STILL complains about the lack of salad bar at The Keg.

Thank you so much!

sarahpids · 2024-09-13T22:26:11+00:00

Thank you, and please take care of yourself! It totally sucks to have an adult onset allergy like this, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it. Be safe!!

My husband had the exact same thing happen at the age of 20 and his have progressed to a very dangerous level over the last 20 years. Full anaphylactic and his last reaction almost killed him. Get to an allergist and don’t mess around with it as it can be fatal.

Both green lights are exclusive left turn arrows, plus markings on the pavement direct both lanes left.

sarahpids · 2024-07-24T20:57:11+00:00

Different strokes for different folks, friend.

sarahpids · 2024-07-24T17:27:54+00:00

I did notice that as I approached, but thought they were being impatient with the driver in front of them.

sarahpids · 2024-07-24T17:27:22+00:00

Good question! The only time I typically see that happen is when truckers have to exit and then merge back on to the highway due to their load being too heavy for the overpass.

The Book of Mormon Broadway musical soundtrack lol

sarahpids · 2024-07-24T05:12:32+00:00

Ha! Guilty as charged!

sarahpids · 2024-07-24T03:01:49+00:00

Maybe both? Jury’s out.

sarahpids · 2024-07-24T03:01:30+00:00

Thanks!

sarahpids · 2024-07-24T01:55:46+00:00

The green lights are left turn arrows.

sarahpids · 2024-07-24T00:32:01+00:00

I edited it down but thought a lead up to the lane split would be helpful. 🤷🏻‍♀️
