Remember how like 2 months ago we were arguing over whether Taylor Swift was hot and now we're down to discussing if Chicken Lady cleans up ok in between posts about sitting to pee? I'll trade this topic for a discussion of Sydney Sweeney's boobs and whether she is a butterface.

Real estate needs 4-7% net of costs, unlevered, to achieve 1.5-2.0x in 10 years. Also pretty realistic I believe.

I’ve been going to Shawn’s since they opened. I would say it’s the best chicken in Richmond right now IF you like spicy chicken. This spice taste a bit like the ma-la spicy from Chinese hotpot or those skewers.
Try it !

Income disparity has never went in the way of my friends
Income disparity will always exist between any two people, and furthermore spending disparity even more so
Sure it may set some friends back on not coming out to events / 4 day getaways, 100$ lunches, but that has nothing to do with making an effort to hang out at Uncle Fatties pizza for 11$ and then going for a drive with the roof down to talk shit
Whoever mentioned you have a friend that owes everyone money, thats not a friend, thats a freeloader that is making 0 effort to pay people back.
On side topic of shit friends, unfortunately ive had two buddies that i useto be super close with. Go to tim hortons twice a week for donuts, do stupid car shit, install exhausts, sit at the pool hot tubs, etc.
But when they got pussy, they would disappear and give bullshit excuses. Both of them, the last time, i did not see for an entire year, and i would always initiate a "yo lets go for a drive, etc" and get the same "i gotta cook my baby dinner" excuse.
Fuck those guys, cut them out of my life. Those arent friends, those are people who use you when they are lonely, and disappear when they get a girlfriend.
Its sad, but my own mental health is better off without them.
Point being, if these money moochers seem like shit friends, let them go, if you think their are being genuine, then pay for their meals for being a great friend regardless of their income/spending/saving situation.
/Rant?

/Rant? | I have a female friend like that. Every time she gets a new bf, she disappears and doesn't reply. We've been friends every since we were kids, but this is one of the people I was talking about when I said: Quote:

Try it ! | Fuuuu, between you and BIC_BAWS, my stomach is growling.
Emailed myself the link to this post just now: going straight here next time I'm in Vancouver.
Does it taste anything like Chef James' night market lamb skewers? I miss the shit out of that.

Yes. Yes it does.
Same spices as those skewers but on a crispy piece of fried goodness.

And even when I go, I don't ever attempt to park in the parking lot because I know it is just gonna be a shxt show like you described.
I would even go as far as to say that Still Creek is frequently reaching capacity in terms of the number of customers it can serve. The parking lot is almost always full, but at least the manager there is sending staff out to direct some traffic., and most drivers there aren't dicks.

I went around the long way and was able to park in the fire lane in the back instead but it was definitely a zoo in there.
Agree with you that Still Creek is reaching capacity though - even mornings or dinner time are getting pretty packed nowadays.

Call me a peasant but I enjoy home parties more than going out. It's not even about cost either, you can have actual conversations with your group of friends vs yelling at each other in a restaurant/bar. I find it more meaningful and we connect better when we're at someone's home. Plus, with me being single/no kids my place is always available so I am happy to host.

They'd bring a bottle, beer, and just blab away for hours, often solving the world's problems. If that family had kids, they'd drag us along so we could play too.
It was extremely rare that they'd ever make some sort of external activity with other people. | I prefer doing this vs going out any day. Have people over, eat, drink and chill in a comfy environment. No pressure to spend a ton of money.

If everyone in the world was perfect at recycling, they'd make like a 1% difference compared to industrial pollution.
I think Japan does a decent job with separating combustible garbage though
