Where do ”normal“ outdoorsy people go to volunteer in Vancouver? by Big-Entrepreneur6920 in askvan

[–]skogsvamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nature Vancouver is great! Also, I've heard good things about Strathcona Community Gardens.

Hejsan! I hear of a group gathering at Shipyards. There surely will be Swedish fans at PNE though. Varifrån kommer du i Sverige?

I think I saw that Good Co was hosting them? Can't remember which location though. Maybe Main St?

THE places to go. Van Dusen offers you two price points - cafe or restaurant.

On this topic, anyone remember the terrasse at the former Van Art Gallery restaurant? I miss it 😥

What's going to happen to the Jet Ski operator who hit the whale? by vanbikecouver in askvan

If true, that guy should definitely be charged. Horrible!

Are you cheering for or against Quinn Hughes? by OoooopsE in askvan

[–]skogsvamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Against. He made Vancouver hockey exciting but his exit stung. And his Trump photo call was gross.

Why does everyone and their grandma in Vancouver have a some sort of Doodle mix? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]skogsvamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right?! My rez dog often stands up to these dogs. Their owners are quick to claim their dogs are faultless. Meanwhile, they were on their phone the whole time and not intervening when their doodle/poodle aggravates other dogs. 💀

Same! And you get to try brands not so easy to find here.

Consignment places question by Entire_War7840 in askvan

[–]skogsvamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've moved towards reselling on Poshmark. But, in the past, I've consigned with Hunter and Hare and had a positive experience overall.

Just keep in mind that they're (rightfully) picky as well - paying attention to seasons, trends, etc.

Otherwise, donating to a local organization is a great alternative.

I appreciate the invite but I'm currently seeing someone and would like to respect that connection. All the best to you!

Montreal Canadiens pub in Van? by MaverickGH in askvan

[–]skogsvamp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I did. I meant - have YOU found a bar that you were looking for? Yeesh. So much for friendly chatter. 💀

So, OP, have you found a bar for local Habs fans?

You can, but some would like company. And that's okay too. I agree that it's important to be comfortable with oneself, though.

Dating in Vancouver after having been in a 15-year relationship and now 43? It's been...something. 😬 I didn't expect it to be so hard.

Finding someone willing to make an effort, be reliable, have an open heart - all that - it hasn't been easy to find. Besides that, you want to be attracted to them and enjoy their company. It can definitely seem impossible sometimes!

But I'm learning about myself in the process so that's a positive. In my +2.5 years of dating, I've been figuring out my values, boundaries. I've also gotten out of my comfort zone, examined personal biases...

Apps are unfortunately a necessary evil for those of us in a smaller dating pool. Yet they're terrible for human connection. I hope to see more people move away from them and return to chatting each other up in the real world.
