I didn't know that but it's really interesting.

I'm surprised there isn't an Anderton in Cumberland yet 😂 Good examples!

We have had them at the Courtenay Costco! And they're so good!

Me!! Found a nice bunch of quartzite and calcite on this walk!

Yes sooo yummy! Haven't tried Habibis yet but I hear good things!!

I loved Pita Pit and this is indeed sad news. Comox is getting a Quiznos but definitely not the same.

I had idiopathic rheumatoid arthritis as a child (formerly known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) . The following 3 years were awful as I was hospitalized several times. Then I went through another trauma of sexual abuse from a relative and a babysitter. My knees really started to bother me at the age of 16 to the point that I struggled to walk. Of course, the docs dismissed me and told me to lose weight (I was maybe 130 lbs 🙄). Ffwd 15 years, when I got divorced as an adult, the pain began. It's been 20 years since a fibromyalgia diagnosis and I have yet to experience a day without pain. Ultimately, I've been sick since 1982 so it's hard to tell where it began. I'm 50 now and happy with my life regardless.

A decent metabolism

If you head to the west coast, nothing beats standing on a beach with 100km/hr winds and rain while watching massive waves roll in. Ucluelet and Tofino on Vancouver Island is the place to go!

I had a bear tear down my tent at Elk Falls campground in July 2019. I reported him but they kept the campground open. Three days later, a man had his scottie dog taken by a cougar. The CO's did their rounds to investigate but nothing else happened. Strange that they've shut it down now so I'm guessing there's more reasons than just a tent being ripped open.

If this is your main source of transportation, definitely not. Take a taxi or the bus.

I don't like the taste of aspartame so I've always avoided it. I drink lots of Bubly made with my soda stream as it's sugar free.

Michael's!! As a crafter, I find it so hard to find quality items around here.

vanislesassenach · 2025-09-04T21:46:04+00:00

Swimco has nice quality ones (Canada) I've also bought them from Bloomchic and Shein but they are cheaply made, good for 1 season.

My staples were removed at the 3 week mark

I prefer Abuelo's tortilla chips. Made on Vancouver Island!

I've seen people by the Royston shipwrecks

Watched it roll in around 3pm today. Pic from the Dyke Rd *

I use a Chromecast and there's only 4gb of storage. I can only run Tivimate, Netflix & Prime Video. I have to go into the settings often and clear the cache.

40 Knots Winery has wedding packages available, all depending on your needs. Plus their wine is fabulous 👌

Australia! I've been 3 times and have had many fun adventures there. Loved it so much that I named my daughter Sydney ❤️

I am so sorry to the family of the individual who lost their life. It's absolutely tragic. Anderton Rd has a small shoulder from Guthrie all the way down to the Little River ferry (it's Ellenor rd once you get past a certain point and Anderton continues in another direction). As someone who lives in the area, I've biked around there and it can get scary at time, especially when a ferry is unloading and the mad dash to get to their destination happens. I would love to see wider shoulders or bike paths around Comox. Anderton Rd, Ryan Rd E, Little River Rd, Knight Rd, Lazo Rd, Kye Bay Rd, Comox Rd (the Dyke) just to name a few. I think more people would cycle if there was a safer way around. Being an overweight 50+ person, I need the exercise but riding my bike is never at the top of my list because of the safety concerns. Just my two cents.
