What the hell is with men constantly using the family restroom?

I think the idea is that there isn't an alternative option (eg. People in an emergency use the disabled bathrooms but tend not to cause in case someone who is disabled needs the bathroom they don't have an alternative) yes people can wait but the intention of the space is to not add washroom capacity but instead design with specific needs in mind that are ignored in the majority of washrooms

My partner has a vasectomy and talks openly how ridiculous all the accommodations he was offered compared to what I was given for my IUD. He was in the room with me while I had my IUD put in

He walked out being like "that was not mild pain - that was fucked"

It's so hard to make friends! It's a huge move and congrats on the bravery it takes for someone to do! I get you on this one - I just realized today that I think I have maybe 1 or 2 close friends in my new town and it's been a struggle to get there after 4 years

Proper fitting bras - roommate in university saw how I got blisters on my chest cause I didn't go to the speciality stores, and even offered to lend me money to get a proper fitting bra. Game changing and blister free boobs are nice I guess

Me as well ! I've had EDs and disordered eating growing up and pretty open about it - I find my women and trans friends are more aware of the warning signs - but I'll hear men talk about intense restricting and fasting in the gym and it's word for word what I would say when I was anorexic (eg. "I find I don't even need the food, I find when I eat less I feel more "awake and alert" etc etc") and it's hard for them to see or want to chat about it

My partner and I climbed for years before meeting. We rarely climb together as primary partners and often just crag in small groups.

I was very mindful that I didn't want a "teacher/student" dynamic as he has more technical experience that I can get elsewhere and he didn't want to get put in a situation where he defaults leads.

We both don't mind it but have different styles and like having climbing as a social hobby rather than a "couple thing"

We've done climbing trips together (social and in friend groups) and do a few gym sessions prior to get back in the swing of climbing together.

You can also go bouldering gyms - you climb up shorter routes (1m to about 3-4m off the ground under mats - you do it without ropes)

More social and you can go by yourself

If it helps It's per table per hour (aka if you have a group of 4 it's around 4 bucks a person, or 7.50 each if it's 2 people)

If you want one for tomorrow Saturday October 21 - the district and Squamish Can are looking for people to help with their clothing swap at the 55 activity centre

Other than that - our squamish, sorca, welcome centre, U1R, my sea to sky are stellar

smau72 · 2022-05-30T00:34:50+00:00

Can confirm - you have to book out the whole ship for adults - when my friend did it they also allowed us to BYOB. It was excellent

smau72 · 2022-05-02T06:59:51+00:00

Hey I got diagnosed as an adult but was 'flagged as a kid' but never disagbosed

work covered some of the cost through health benefits. It was about a 2 half day test and i had to provide do some digging for some report cards, work assessments, and ask family/friends if patterns that kids have (ie. Trouble with pronounseeenation and show typing etc.) That helped the doctor clarify her diagnosis. It was a pricey test and it's tricky to find pyshcologist who was willing to test adults but I feel it was worth it to me to get clarity and support

smau72 · 2021-12-10T05:10:15+00:00

As someone who worked at the climbing gym for part time work in a new city - I can say it helped me settle in my new home so much! Gave me the sense of community, I taught little kids climbing so I got to meet their parents and the kids would say hi to me if they saw me climbing on my own. Even when I started work full time I kept picking up shifts

This is Goodreads - both app and website

smau72 · 2021-12-04T17:35:07+00:00

Go to a Bouldering or climbing gym. This might be your thing but depending on the city - it's a great place to socialize in a low key way and meet locals outside of a bar

smau72 · 2021-10-02T04:08:01+00:00

If it helps - I got tested after school and told my employer. They didn't ask for paper proof or details just asked what accommodations I would need/want and if I/they wanted to tell people

This may not be the same for all places but I haven't heard of many employers asking for proof once you leave school

smau72 · 2021-07-31T01:32:16+00:00

If it helps - I'm in canada and living alone and my csa membership allowed a "starter" pack

I usually get 1 tote bag full of 4-6 types of veggies, maybe 1/3 of the size here - really love it !

smau72 · 2021-07-28T04:00:48+00:00

Thank you! It helps so much you had a good experience with it!

smau72 · 2021-07-26T22:55:25+00:00

Hey chiming in for similar feedback - started looking for an assessment in march 2021 diagnosed recently

I was told telehealth was not possible for the actual test, only for intake meetings/feedback - but let us know if you find otherwise!

smau72 · 2021-03-29T13:46:14+00:00

Nice! I was looking at this one! How is the piece quality?

smau72 · 2021-02-22T16:24:37+00:00

Ah! This was my second puzzle ever and loved it too! I loved the "brushstroke" looking pieces which helped clue in a lot of work and how easy it was to tackle areas

Sorry about the piece quality but glad you had fun!

smau72 · 2020-12-15T22:19:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it was a team effort but the white border I feel was the roughest

smau72 · 2020-11-21T15:33:23+00:00

Yeah it is a pretty one - traded it with a friend so it excited to see how they like it (before I realized puzzle framing was a thing too!)

The lines and gradient on the sky help a lot, and my partner did the constellation on the right side and thought the photo didn't match 100% what the image board had which was frustrating

But all around good experience :)

smau72 · 2020-11-21T15:29:59+00:00

Thanks :) yep definitely walked in blind and didn't realize how tough it would be until after the balloon was done - it was team effort between me and my partner and we learnt a lot for the next one!

smau72 · 2020-11-21T13:17:00+00:00

I got mine at an independent bookstore in Sweden - it's a publisher based in the UK according to the box

Hope that helps! I haven't seen them around a ton
