shooting range?

Hey vancouver peeps,

kind of a weird question - while watching an episode of the real housewives of vancouver (yes, i am embarrassed) there is a part where they go and shoot fancy guns in the woods - I am really wondering where this place is in the lower mainland, or if maybe they went somewhere south of the border - according to my boyfriend there is no such place in the area, but I want to know because I would love to take him to it for our anniversary (romantic, right?)

thanks for any info!

Vets

Hi all. I am puppysitting for a dog from Powell River right now. Can anyone recommend any vets who are reasonably priced should there be an emergency? In Vancouver please. Also if you have experience with vets that will take a deposit on payment... His owner left me with $200 for an emergency and that should be enough for most basic things but if he requires an overnight stay or stitches or something I don't think it'll cut it and it may take a couple days to get ahold of the owner and have him send more $. Thank you!
Hi all,

As you know, women are very particular about their hair, and although I'm not overtly girly, I am no exception to this.

I am looking for a good hair salon/stylist preferably in the Burnaby area, but not a total necessity as I can always Skytrain it.

For some perspective- I am Mediterranean, meaning that although my own hair is finer, there is still a lot of it- tons of layers of hair. I like to keep it just touching my shoulders and with layers to thin out all the chunkiness that happens with it grows out. Looking to spend about $40 or so.

Any suggestions?

ISO reasonably priced butcher

I'm looking to make braised short ribs in the nearby future but realized you can't just buy short ribs at the local Save On (not cut at the right size anyway). So I seek of a butcher! I've never been to a butcher and can think of some close by in Kitsilano but I'd like to not pay a premium for the location (eg. Granville Island). So I turn to you Vancouverites - where can a girl pick up some reasonably priced short ribs?

Birthday Venue Ideas

Hey Vancouver!

I'm looking for a place to celebrate my 25th birthday- I'm looking for a certain kind of place and I don't know if it exists! Maybe you can help!

I want a place that is:
-moderately priced, not too expensive (cheap is good)
-not super fancy- can be casual or a dive
-somewhere with a dance floor but not a club. In my mind its somewhere my outgoing friends can dance, and my more chill friends can sit and have a drink in more of a pub/lounge type atmosphere
-located in vancouver/downtown/east van, close to the skytrain is a plus

OR

-barring a dancefloor; somewhere that is just a good fucking time, with good food and good drinks. Somewhere that you've had a really great experience.

Do you know of anywhere that may fit any of these qualifications?

I appreciate any suggestions or ideas!

Tiny Shoes

Hello Vancouver!

I have small feet, size 34 european or 4 US women's. Most of my life, I've either worn youth shoes or women's size 5  shoes that are way too big. I now have a bit more money so I can afford to go someplace other than Payless Shoes.

Where in Vancouver (and area) can I find classy semi-casual and formal shoes for women in size 4? Still needs to be under $150 a pair, however.

Thanks!

We are looking for a fridge.

Yep. Our parts department fridge called it quits a while back and we're sick of having to use the lunchroom fridge which (a) doesn't have a freezer and (b) you can nail down your leftover pizza in there and still, someone will nick it.

Sooooo.... what we're looking for is a cheapo full size fridge with a freezer and our budget is max around a hundred bucks. I tried Craigslist but I either got people emailing me "I have a great fridge, three hundred bucks and it;'s yours!" REading comprehension fail you much, skippy?

It doesn't have to be pretty. It can be one of those 70s avocado green beasties. Just as long as it works.

....anyone?
