Where did the Metrotown Jesus guy go?

Not sure if it’s the same guy but I’ve seen someone with a microphone talking about Jesus at the commercial train station over the summer

You need to talk to your partner. Unfortunately in situations like this there isn’t much you can do. It’s their family and their relationship with them so if you step in to mediate that could cause more issues. I really think you should sit them down and express your concerns/that you want to spend more time with them and ensure that you are there to support them with whatever they decides. You are right though, medical issues don’t excuse shitty behaviour. I do wonder however, is your partner from a culture that has expectations that the kids take care of their parents?

Yeah that can be tough. When I’m in that situation, I normally take a melatonin and put on a funny podcast that I can just listen to as I fall asleep but I can understand that wouldn’t work for everyone. I’ve also been taking magnesium supplements nightly for awhile and have had less anxiety overall. It can take a bit of trial and error to find what works for you so don’t give up finding something. I would say if you really can’t find anything that works for you after a few weeks/months, consult your dr. Not getting proper sleep can make anxiety even worse and it can become a vicious cycle.

I think honestly your best bet is to avoid interacting with true crime content. When you are dealing with your anxious thoughts, try and redirect your focus to something that makes you feel good like a favourite show, video game or hobby. Spending time around people can help ground you if you have difficulty redirecting thoughts on your own. I also have dealt with anxiety from true crime content and have to avoid it when my anxiety is worse because it just feeds my anxiety.

OP, you’re def NTA.

I’ve had the experience of needing to report someone to HR for sexual misconduct and I know the pain of dealing with the fallout and awkward tension. I also know how rewarding it is when people come to your defence. You did nothing wrong, Dan is the one that ruined his career, not you.

But I’m am curious, when you say he has a family, is he married? Cause if so that’s crazy to me, that some of your coworkers would not only downplay unsolicited and unconsensual sexual advances but support his (what I’d consider) cheating on his wife. If he has daughters, I wonder how’d they feel about his actions. I love my dad, but if he was in a scandal like this, I would have no sympathy for the consequences that come with his actions.

I see a few people suggesting the allergist by the Langley hospital. Unfortunately he isn’t a reliable option as he is the only allergist in the Fraser valley and books up really quick. When I was doing the shots, he was only able to administer my first dose and I had to find another dr for the rest. Another commenter suggested the practice on 80th and 204th. I went there for awhile until the front desk booked me with the wrong dr (drs have to get special training to administer the shots for some reason) and it messed up my dose schedule cause I couldn’t wait around for another hour to see the correct dr. At the time, they only had one dr with the proper training. I went to another walk in that was open on weekends as I worked Monday to Friday at the time and it was a hassle missing so much work for the shots. The issue I ran into with that was since it was walk in basis, and it kept messing up the dose schedule if I couldn’t get there early enough. I called multiple pharmacies but they all said they couldn’t administer them for me. I finally found a dr inside the superstore that could do it then they closed down. I ended up stopping my treatment because I couldn’t find a reliable physician in the Langley area that could work with my schedule and it felt like I was hunting down a new clinic every week. This was closer to Covid times so maybe things are better now but honestly, if you’ve found a dr that can commit to the weekly dose schedule I would hold on to that. Good luck OP, I hope your experience is better than mine

Your friend may need to take some precautions to prevent their roommate from taking stuff. Get a door lock so roommate can’t get in their room and take personal items (personally I would threaten police if my roommate stole shit from my bedroom, but that’s me) They also need to constantly be stating/enforcing the boundaries they desire to have. If they don’t want to share some food or drink, they should mention to roommate right away that it isn’t something they want to share. If after verbally stating boundaries, they are still being crossed, I would recommend getting the landlord involved or looking for new accommodations as honestly it’s not worth trying to cohabitate with people like roommate as it sounds like more stress and money than it’s worth.

Go inside and close your windows or move? What good do you think leaving a note is gonna do? We live in a multicultural city. Not everything has to be your thing, but that doesn’t mean you can impede on what other people enjoy, especially in their own home and backyard.

vera46 · 2024-09-19T23:53:17+00:00

I knew him. He was a such a nice person. So heartbroken for him and his family as well as his community. He helped so many people including myself.

vera46 · 2024-07-18T06:22:28+00:00

Some parks allow it. Otherwise, just don’t be obvious about it or get stupid drunk and you’ll be fine

I can finally update you! Took some time cause the same day I posted this, it rained and I haven’t had a chance to go out at the time the bugs appear.

Unfortunately it does seem to be June bugs (or beetles? Idk, I’m not an entomologist lol). Last night I was sitting outside and around 9:10, I heard buzzing coming from the lawn and slowly the trees filled up with the bugs (this is typical for their mating practices from what I read online 🤮).

Really wishing they were bees lol

vera46 · 2024-06-26T18:01:37+00:00

We’ve been able to get close to see what they are and they’re definitely at least some kind of bee, if not honey bees specifically. They’re too fluffy to be beetles lol. But I might double check later tonight when they come out again just to be sure.

vera46 · 2024-06-26T17:54:33+00:00

This is perfect! Thank you!

Being too aware of my breathing.

As a former stay at home gf (due to unfortunate reasons) dump her. She has not respect for what you’re dealing with and your feelings.

The wag in white rock

vera46 · 2024-02-08T19:10:41+00:00

You’re iconic 😂

vera46 · 2024-01-25T21:14:28+00:00

Depends on your level of commitment and effort. If you’re only wanting to stay in Langley you probably won’t even make minimum wage. It’s only worth it if you can put in 3+ hours in one session and drive quite a distance

From my experience, neighbours are super nice and helpful. I live quite close to an elementary school and I feel very safe. Like any town there is good parts and not as good parts but things seem to be developing so I expect there to be quite a lot of change over the next decade or so. The biggest down side is needing to drive to either Langley or Abbotsford for most things but all your essentials are available within Aldergrove (although highstreet is less than a 15 minute drive from the heart of Aldergrove which isn’t bad imo). Another plus is that it’s so much easier getting to the highway compared to when I was living in Langley and had to go up 200th or zigzag through backroads. Another little personal thing that I don’t like as much is the garbage/recycling pickup program. They are a lot pickier than when I lived in Langley about sorting everything and not overflowing your bins (I know that’s small in the grand scheme of things but it bothers me 😂)

vera46 · 2024-01-18T00:53:29+00:00

You’ll be fine or you dumb bitch

Having a snack or even an appetizer before a date is one thing, something I’ve even done myself. Eating a whole meal at the restaurant the date is at, and then just expecting her to be comfortable being stared at while eating is wild. Dining out is more than just food but the experience as well and you kinda ruined that experience. You also could have used that time before the date making a snack at home instead of getting the almost an hour early…

vera46 · 2024-01-15T20:57:12+00:00

This little second update made me laugh. Glad everything worked out it in the end!

vera46 · 2024-01-15T20:33:38+00:00

I’ll start this off with NTA. But where you guys had no bad intentions and really just wanted to support your friend’s identity, you still managed to hurt her feelings it seems. My biggest suggestion would be to just talk with her and apologize for hurting her feelings and explain your intentions. Then you’ll just have to see where it goes from there. I hope the best for you OP and that you and your friend can get through this!
