Question Any raves for a good chiropractor?

• Upvotes

The person I’m looking for can take a good look at you and know right away what needs fixing, and doesn’t f* around and just gets it done. They are exceptional chiropractors and have a good physiotherapy grounding as well to give you the exercises and body movements to work on (and what to avoid).

They’re a no bs, no trying to sell anything else, just what’s necessary to get you fixed.

Opinion How on earth is there no bus route going down island after 9:30 in the morning??

• Upvotes

Island bus requires booking a day in advance, so I guess I'm just stuck up here for another day. If we aren't going to get a train, we at least need to get reliable bus route, this is absurd.

Where to Trick or Treat?

I’m taking my kid into Vic for Halloween because we live in farm lands where trick or treating isn’t really an option! Any tips for some awesome streets that will be bustling with kids and decorated spooky homes?

Question How was Slow Burn Dating?

44 Upvotes

I was interested in attending the Slow Burn Dating event at the Royal BC Museum last week but wasn't able to make it.

For those who went, how was it? Was it well organized? What kinds of activities were there? Was attendance fairly balanced between men and women?

I'm also curious about the age range, whether most people attended solo or with friends, and whether you'd go again in the future.

Question Very loud sound on Quadra and Falmouth

7 Upvotes

Anyone know what the incredibly loud droning sound is off Quadra near the Shell station? Quadra and Falmouth/Palmer? It’s almost midnight and it has been going on for at least half an hour. It sounds like construction noise, like jackhammering or an incredibly loud car staying in the same spot.

Question 19+ Halloween events?

2 Upvotes

I've never really done much for Halloween, so I don't know what goes on. I have a funny costume I wanna wear but it's probably too slutty for me to wear around children. What events are taking place where people dress up and is ideally only adults?

Question Time zone problems upcoming?

12 Upvotes

Hey folks- I just tried to make an appointment for Nov 7th, after we were supposed to move to StandardTime, and the calendar (the one with Rogers/Shw webmail) wouldn't let me!! It wants me to reset my time zone to something it recognizes, as the warning says "we are unable to identify the time zone in your area. Please choose one from the list...."

Anybody else run into this and how did it work for you?

BTW- I wonder what Microsoft has in store for the million or so Windows PCs affected by this decision.

Controversy The burning of Traveller's Inn and some questions...

77 Upvotes

How did it pass fire inspections? Were there working sprinklers? And since it is now demolished so soon after, I'm assuming there will still be an investigation as to cause. Firefighters took a defensive position, understandable, but what about news reports of missing person?

Robin Kimpton is in Van now. Will he be investigated? I hope. I've met him, and he is an ornery man with little care for others. He was renting suites illegally. Was the city aware of this? And no, this was never a supportive housing site. Just a vacant hotel owned and run by a slum lord.

Question Salmon Run? 🐟

7 Upvotes

Howdy folks! Looking to watch some salmon jumping up/on/over things again this Fall, but not sure if the season has started yet or not.

Has anyone gotten any good sightings yet? When's the best time of the season to go? (and time of day, for that matter)

Also looking for new spots to watch from. Any recommendations other than Goldstream Provincial Park?

Prices still high!

0 Upvotes

Looks like lies again from a political party. Cost of living hasnt gone down 1 penny. Look at house prices. Astronomical still! Pretty pissed off. After all the talk and the keys being handed to them all we have gotten so far is par for the course. I had to resort to 2 can dine for $20.99 at Burger King tonight just to feed me and my spouse. Glad I didnt vote. Be even more angry if I voted and nothing changed.

I spent many years participating in the Halifax Sport and Social Club, making many friends along the way. Recently moved to Victoria, and found that there's a chapter here. Signed up for an account and started browsing the calender. There's 1 season of volleyball, and that is it.

What gives?
