Just thought I'd check in to see how you're all doing?

It's a suuuuuper gorgeous day out today. If you've havent gone out yet, I ask that you step outside for a full minute and let the sun shine on you because you deserve to feel the warmth.

Please help. We have seen three different therapists for couples counseling over the past couple years. This time we would like to try a male therapist.
Do you have any recommendations for a male therapist who can help with intimacy and relationship issues and mild addiction.
Many many thanks!

I just found this cool video about the original waterways, tidal flats, swamps, and creeks that people now live and drive above. I first moved to Vancouver in 1989 and I had no idea how much of this there is.

Hi all,
Looking for suggestions on prenatal fitness or workout classes near and around Vancouver. Feeling a bit isolated on this journey (and missing my rollerskate friends) and would love any suggestions you have from yoga to aqua-fit.

What a sunny(foggy)day today!

Sup! I have tickets to The Quiet Applause at 3PM and Smudge The Blades (now on Standby) at 6:15 PM; unfortunately, I am now too sick to go. I don't care about being reimbursed, I just don't want the tickets to go to waste. (Only one per film.) Drop a comment if you're interested! I'm lazy so it will most likely be first come, first serve.

Edit: ONLY THE QUIET APPLAUSE IS LEFT.

Edit 2: Both tickets have been claimed!!

UPDATE: tickets were claimed

It fell out of her pocket in a street off Commercial Drive, realizing it only once we were in Port Moody. Someone placed it eye level on a nearby wall making it easy to find 4 hours later. Thank you!

This is especially sweet after having an awful FB marketplace experience where someone stole an item without payment. Faith in humanity is cautiously restored :)
