Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
It's pretty lax now. During the summer, I walked into one, presented my ID and received their member card. I paid for my purchase with a credit card, and was out the door in less than 10 min.
Just installed a 250gb Samsung ssd in my one year old el-cheapo laptop and now feel like I'm piloting a rocketship. Start time under 5 sec, most Office programs in about 2-3 sec. One of the best $100 investments without a doubt!
To me the biggest change with an SSD is how quickly the computer is usable after login. As soon as I see the desktop, I can start opening things without having to wait for all the background stuff to load up.

There is some weird shit going down where groups of women are pushing the word of god lately in really bizarre spots, they have like a little kiosk they lug around and it’s alwyas 2-3 of them together. Sometimes it’s at bus stops etc but sometimes it’s nust like in the middle of a sidewalk where there is almost no foot traffic
Can only imagine what compells them to spend their time there :/
My girlfriend struck up a conversation with one of them at the Sky Train station a few months back. Turns out many of them are sent up here from Salt Lake City, Utah. They work for a few months, and head home, and a new group comes up. Very strange that Mormons have the capital to conduct such a campaign in various cities.
^Heh, The Church of Latter Day Saints is fucking loaded man. All Mormons are required to pay a % of their income to the church.
I just went to Salt Lake City last month and their organization is run like a corporation. They've got a huge shiny office building in the middle of SLC, not to mention they own blocks of the downtown core. Their Temple Square is like a Mormon theme park where girls (yes all teenage - 20ish girls) stand around and strike up conversations with anyone that walks by.
We took a 1/2 hour tour of Brigham Young's house with a two of these guides - one was from Korea and the other from Virginia. At the end of the tour they did the hard sell with Mormonism and offered us a free Book of Mormon. We just said...err no thanks we don't believe in God and headed out on our way.
A bit scary but mostly harmless as far as I can tell. Most of them are just young and impressionable I suppose.
Many of the ones in Vancouver I think are Jehovah's Witnesses...not the same as Mormons
I can see what you're looking to find
in the smile on my face
in my peace of mind
in my state of grace
I send what I can
to the man from the ministry
he's a part of heaven's plan
and he talks to me
now I send what I can to the man
with the diamond ring
he's a part of heaven's plan
and he sure can sing
now it's all I can afford
but the lord has sent me eternity
it's to save the little children
in a poor country
I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
I got a ride all the way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
all the way to paradise
now there's nothing left for luxuries
nothing left to pay my heating bill
but the good lord will provide
I know he will
so send what you can
to the man with the diamond ring
they're tuning in across the land
to hear him sing
I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
I got a ride all the way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
all the way to paradise
god bless............

I ordered something from HK and it was shipped using DHL. I was expecting a customs fee with my package but didn't receive one when I opened the package. A month or two after the delivery I received a invoice for Duty & Brokerage not from DHL but from a 3rd party, Livingston International. Anyone seen this before and can confirm it's legit.
Has anyone applied for a replacement citizenship certificate?
Trying to help my dad apply for one since he misplaced the old one. It's such a pain in the ass since it asks for extremely specific information.
The application asks for information related to my dad's parents such as their citizenship number, date of marriage, etc, which my dad doesn't have or know. Doesn't help that they passed away like two decades ago.
Man, the application even starts off asking "Have you ever had a certificate of Canadian citizenship or naturalization? If yes, give information on the certificate." Fuck, I'm applying for a replacement because I've fucking lost the old one, why would I have it?!

Give CIC a call, they are quite helpful although getting to an actual person is a pain.
And for the future, keep a copy of it somewhere. I keep scans of all important docs on dropbox and also certified true copies of things that I use often (my son's birth certificate for example) but I don't want to lose them.
Bought my son a Tonka Bulldozer similar to an old D9 Cat as I have operated and worked on them and are my favourite, and started showing him vids of D9's in action. Found this old promotional video from the 50's:

RIP, Johnny Bower. Great goalie. Used to play for Vancouver back before most of you were born. Won four Stanley Cups. One of the reasons I cheered on the Leafs. Hall of famer. Fought for our country. A true hero.

Sorry, got the story wrong. A case of a caught fish story getting bigger each time it is told. Plus, beating a dead horse................. carry on carrying on.
