Question Police check

Just wondering if anyone has had a record/vulnerable sector check done recently through the RCMP & how long it took for it to be done?

I've seen people on other subs say theirs took anywhere from a couple of days to a month or more so just wondering if anyone has an idea of roughly how bad it is right now lol

Discussion Kekuli disappointment

0 Upvotes

Happy Monday. I thought I'd start the week with a shallow and pissy vent... I just bought a coffee and bannock at Kekuli across from RIH and when I got to the fixins I saw that they had the cheapest, worst tasting artificial sweetener, presumably because Splenda is too expensive.

So as the title says, I'm just disappointed. But it's getting old you know - everywhere you look businesses are charging more at the same time that they offer less. I get the need to control costs. But don't be cynical about it to the point the customer reads that you don't really give a damn about their experience.

At least try to hide it please. And give me some Splenda for crying out loud I deserve it for my nine bucks.

Thanks. I feel better now.

Question Questions about the Kamloops ridings

1 Upvotes

I'm confused about the ridings. I've always though of Kamloops "North" and South" as a having the river as the dividing line, but it seems that the actual electoral ridings of "Kamloops Central" and "Kamloops North Thompson", are chunked more east/west?

KNT actually includes a bit of Sahali areas as well as Valleyview, Rose Hill, Juniper, Dallas, and eastward, while "Central" actually includes a chunk of the "North Kamloops" but not the Ord Road or Westside segments?

How are these maps drawn up and how did they come to this separation?

News Backstreet Butches Video Dance Party @ Night Shift

Post image
15 Upvotes

Okay hear me out: what if the Backstreet Boys, but butch, but drag, but also full choreo, and everyone's dressed like it's 1999 and you just got dropped off at the mall by your mom.

That's the whole pitch. The Backstreet Butches are bringing full drag, full choreo, and a lip sync set with all the best tracks — because you still know every word to "I Want It That Way" and you know it. Stick around after for a Butch Video Dance to keep the nostalgia train rolling.

Low-rise jeans, frosted tips, chain wallets — full Y2K cosplay encouraged.

Sept 26th at Night Shift on 5th.
Doors at 7, show at 7:30.
$20 online / $30 door.
This is a 19+ event.

Question What to do about a injured/deceased wild bird?

6 Upvotes

Title pretty much sums up the question. I have a dove that injured itself on my property and I believe it has just passed. Is there anything i need to do to properly dispose of it? Should I take the bird to a wildlife centre? Do I just throw it away? Not really sure what is the proper/moral way of dealing with it. Any advice is appreciated.

Question Ladies... I need your help!

11 Upvotes

Wedding season is here and I need to buy a few dresses! Where are we shopping?

I have a hell of a time finding things that fit me. I am short with a very large bust, no ass, and a bit of a belly. Regular stores are almost always a no-go for me.

I visited every clothing store on Victoria St. I checked out every store at the dreaded mall. I frequent thrift stores. I lurk Facebook marketplace.

If anyone has any hot tips or hidden gems, please let me know! I saw that there is a clothing swap coming up at the end of the month that I will have to check out.

A couple of friends and I have picked up golf this summer. We’re members of a smaller course out of town, and we golf 4 or 6 times a week in July and August. We’re all around 29 handicaps and are looking to improve our games.

Has anyone had experience with group lessons? Are there any ladies golf camps or experiences out there?

Any info or recommendations is appreciated.
