@polarisera @rees @Sherri_Ingrey @Piss_Ant Things were still pretty good here then. Could ride the ferries for half price. But I rarely did it because the accom and food is so pricey.
WAH. I still want to travel more and I can't. Some days I cry about this a lot. What an egotistical baby!
I'd like to see my bff and my son's fam...

@polarisera @rees @Sherri_Ingrey When was this!?!? You could have said you were visiting!
I'm too old and weak for the ferries currently, much less poutine. The ferry food is also even more bizarrely overpriced now that it's all a corporation owning the ferries who have contracted every ferry service out to a separate contractor. Outsourcing they call it! LMAO
It's so far away from the original source that ordinary pricing simply can't apply!
Canuck seniors I believe can still ride the ferries for 1/2 price, whereas it used to be free.
All these things I looked forward to doing in my old age I'm now too tired, too weak and too broke to do anymore! 😱

@LaylaAlexandrovna @rees @Sherri_Ingrey It was when @Piss_Ant tried to get me to join her polycule. She told me I was too thin for the group, to spend some time fattening up on poutine. Then the polycule voted me out.

@LaylaAlexandrovna @rees @Sherri_Ingrey @Piss_Ant Also that is all a joke. It was before I was on spinster, probably 7 years ago.

@rees @Sherri_Ingrey EW. Poutine. It's an eastern thing though yes you can easily get it in Vancouver. Totally not worth it, lol. Essentially Canadian food is similar to the US but there are very few chains here.
Make sure you bring plenty of cash or high value credit cards. It's fracking insanely expensive here, especially compared to the US if that's where you are.
But with the Canuck buck so low against the USD, you MIGHT find a deal or two, just don't count on it. Also hotels and airbnb are ridic. And flying or busing around the country is prohibitive.
Don't come in summer due to the forest fires and the winters are massively fracked too. I don't recommend travelling here anymore.

@LaylaAlexandrovna @rees @Sherri_Ingrey I love poutine, riding the hour-long ferries across BC and eating their poutine was a minor highlight of my trip. Someday, I'm going to get a senior pass, retire and live on the ferries, eating only poutine, riding back and forth, back and forth.

@rees @Sherri_Ingrey These are ACTUALLY common Canuck cat names! LMAO
(No I'm kidding, most people still call their cats some variation of kitty when there's no one else around.)

@rees Seems like a big waste, especially for someone like my cat who is almost completely unmotivated by food. She certainly wouldn't care to be in the table while I'm eating... but wait, she does periodically come to SEE (carefully walk on to the desk) what I'm eating and reconfirm that it's not raw meat so not worth bothering about.
And it's true, she does occasionally sleep in a basket on my desk where I eat but it's purely to be closer to me, not to try and grab food which she has never done. But then, I don't eat raw meat.

@LaylaAlexandrovna @rees Bean must have been raised by some doting person, she comes right up to my plate and will steal from it. Our Amber did that because we always let her eat at the table. Stardust could care less, unless there happens to be ham or Canadian bacon about
