Tiny Shoes

  • May. 16th, 2012 at 6:58 AM
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.

  • May. 15th, 2012 at 8:22 PM
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?

Looking for a doctor?

  • May. 15th, 2012 at 11:03 AM
I know that there are always folks on the lookout for family doctors accepting new patients. I just got a notice that the place where I go for physio is going to have doctors, starting tomorrow, so I thought I'd pass this along in case it's useful to anyone.

"As a past patient of pt Health Medical & Wellness clinic, we wanted you to know about our new family & walk-in medical clinic opening on May 16, 2012. Located just steps from the Commercial-Broadway SkyTrain Station, the Medical Clinic will be accepting both walk-in and family practice patients.

Staffed by Dr. Farhad Rahiminejad and his knowledgeable team, we encourage you to call 604-876-5515 or walk-in between 9am-5pm to learn more about becoming a patient of Dr. Rahiminejad."

Dining Chair Repair?

  • May. 14th, 2012 at 1:38 PM
I have some semi-vintage dining room chairs that have a metal frame, and one of my guests recently 'broke' one of chairs! Basically there are two metal bars that were welded together side by side and it's come apart at the welding and I was advised by said guest that he thinks it just needs to be re-welded or get it sautered or something like that? The picture is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1916093/IMG_20120514_132854.jpg and it's basically that little brown weldy spot in the middle...

Anyways. This is all way way beyond me, but does anyone know where I can get this done? Do furniture shops do this or should I be looking for a metal shop? I live in Mount Pleasant so anywhere in the area would be great, but I can travel if need be. 

*I have no idea if 'welding' is the right term for it. 

Thanks so much!

I got a job, starts next month. Thanks to those who helped.

If anyone knows anyone with borderline personality disorder or if anyone here has knowledge of it and would like to share some insight with me on it, really anything it would be much appreciated. Feel free to pm or email me if you would like.

I am sorry for posting here, I have no real life well really no support network in place at all.

I have called several of the low cost places in the area that I can get to and they all refer me to mental health office who largely ignores me despite my calls and drip in to tue office to inquire.

I did comtact my local MLA whos office did contact me hack which surprised me.Anyhow his office said they will contact the health minister and see if they are able to get info for me on why mental office is basically ignoring me.

I saw a psychiatrist finally. First time since February.

camping at Harrison hot springs question!

  • May. 10th, 2012 at 5:46 PM
I am planning a surprise bday camping trip and due to it really being the only place far enough so we dont annoy people with noise and it being fairly easy to get to in any car (east side) Harrison is the location.
Problem is ive only been camping up there once so i dont know which mile marker to tell people to go to! It is NOT on May-long weekend so finding space shouldnt be too much of an issue, I just dont know a good spot. I'll still make signs if it changes after we arrive but does anyone have any suggested mile markers that are easy to drive to without a truck?

Hey Vancouver!
As some of you already know, I'm a hairstylist at Rain Hair Salon near Granville Island. I am looking for a long-haired lady to be a model for myself to demo a haircut on for a class I'm teaching on Monday, May 14th at 10am. The haircut is long layers done with a razor, so most hair types are suitable! And it will be FREE! If you already have layers in your hair that's okay, as long as they're not too short and you're willing to go a bit shorter with them. If you're interested please send me an email at jamiee.fox @ gmail. com with a recent photo and description of your hair!
Thanks!
