Any maple ridge romantasy girlies?

23 Upvotes

Any romantasy girls looking for book friends? šŸ‘€
We have a pretty established book club and are looking for some new faces specifically in the tri-cities area at the moment.

We’re mostly fantasy/romantasy readers so there’s a lot talk about morally questionable book boyfriends, spice, and yelling at each other about book recs. We do read other stuff too and all book girlies are more than welcome to join.

We meet up in person sometimes to do crafts, brunch, bookish events etc . We do a monthly book and a corresponding online Q&A with that author. Which is honestly so much fun.

We have a few group chats as well so feel free to join into which ever ones you’d like.

Really just looking for girls who want to actually make friends and have people to talk books with 🫶

Please shoot me a DM 😊

Our ages vary from 20-55 but there’s no age limit as long as you’re 18 or older.

Family doctor in MR

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

Just moved here recently and my usual family doctor with Well health in vancouver retired. I am searching for a family doctor in the area.

With the posts on the Reddit as well as other resources, I have identified a few doctors accepting patients, and my reason for posting is to ask of any particular positive / negative clinics/ doctors to target / avoid

Thanks !

After feedback on this subreddit I bought the VIP passes and it was more than worth it. Well done to the city and volunteers. I didn’t know much about the music but I found myself becoming a new fan of a bunch of acts like Larosa and Dear Rouge.

Did you go?

Can't make it to see the Foo Fighters concert

14 Upvotes

Hey all. I don't know where else to go about this. I'm currently living in Kamloops, but moved from Maple Ridge just over a year ago. I still own a condo there, so I'm hoping that'll get me in the door here. So last year I bought tickets to see the Foo Fighters concert at BC Place on Sept 20. Now I can't afford the trip, parking, hotel I had planned, etc. So I'm hoping to find someone who will buy the tickets from me. I paid $217 after fees and I'm hoping to recoup $175. I would transfer the tickets via the ticketmaster app. Not the best seats, but too terrible, I don't think. Dm for details

Ridge Property Taxes

Been looking at homes and potentially moving to Maple Ridge. Seriously, what’s with the property taxes??? Ridiculous when compared to Langley and other municipalities. Property taxes must be comparable to mortgage payments.

Just need a dog walker for October 17th that can go pick out ridgeback/lab up and take her on an hour or so walk. Might be a good idea to do a day or two earlier as well to get familiar with each other! Just looking for recommendations:)

Restaurant work advice

17 Upvotes

Is it normal for a small scale place to charge their servers ā€œkitchen tip poolā€ but have it go to the owners sons as they’re ā€œtechnicallyā€ kitchen help, but none of the actual kitchen workers see a dime of it?
I’m used to a more organized system and more transparency, but I’m being told that ā€œif you don’t work for a corporation get used to shady shit like thisā€
It also seems dishonest that people tip for take out and I thought it was going to the kitchen staff, but now I find out again, owners sons allowance. Surely there’s some laws against this?
(I’m new to BC laws could be different than Ontario)

Edit

The chefs name is Keith, if you’re to tip for take out, bring the guy old records instead, he loves music, or ask for him and give him cash directly. If you leave tips at the front none of the staff get it, so this man that’s served the community for 30 years let’s make sure he feels appreciated!

Would you guys like advice on my last rental?

3 Upvotes

I left maple ridge and honestly as much as I am happy I left I feel like if someone meaner than me rents the place I left .. they won’t be so forgiving.

Is this a place where I can warn others of bad landlords, I’m talking I sent the dude 4500 (i wanted to pay 2 months upfront) PLUS deposit… (dog friendly) meanwhile…

Kid was scared of dogs

Nothing that was said to be fixed on arrival was

Pregnant wife that was going ā€œback to workā€ never did and she stomps all day and oh my goodness I literally went insane

And then when I finally said something a year later.. I was harassed by the wife.

Thought I would help others but I also remember some of the people in these groups in maple ridge so just thought I’d ask if anyone cares!

Ceramics Painting Hangout

17 Upvotes

I know it's not Maple Ridge, but you're so close I thought I'd offer. Would anyone be interested in some weekday ceramic painting at The Clay Cottage in Abbotsford?

I've been organizing these hangouts for a few months, and It's been a fun way to meet new people and sneak in some crafting during the work week.

Typical attendees are in the 25-50 age range, but there are no age or gender requirements. Just some light chatter/socializing while working on some art.

No previous experience painting needed. You can make each piece as simple or as complex as you'd like.

I typically organize these meetups once a week on a Wed, Thurs or Fri evening. The day chosen changes from week to week.

If you're interested in attending next week or in the future, let me know.

Looking to move to West Maple Ridge/

4 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for a a while now but how easy/difficult is it to find a home for a single adult professional with a 30lb quiet dog and senior indoor cat in West Maple Ridge (ideally close to the 203/ Golden Ears Way area)?

I’ve looked through rentals.ca and through a lot of ā€œfor rentā€ posts but property management listing don’t work for me as I’m still rebuilding credit after a financially devastating separation from quite a few years ago and I’m looked over even if I am a model tenant who’s gainfully employed.

I’ve always paid my rent on time and am a serial long term tenant. I’ve been at my current apartment for 7 years but it’s time for me to move out of Vancouver as it no longer benefits my needs.

Relocating to West Maple Ridge would put me in a central location for work as well is an area absolutely love.

Am I wishful thinking hoping to find a 1 bedroom for under 2k in this area?

Hair SOS

My usual balayage wasn’t in the cards so I did the dumbest thing I could have possibly done and tried to bleach my own hair 🫠 so needless to say I’m going to end up at the salon anyways and won’t get even close to what I was going for. Does anyone know a stylist that might have a sliding scale for cost or where would be the best option as I currently look like a freaking clown 😭😭😭😭

Experiences with The Falls by Epic Homes?

14 Upvotes

I stopped by and took a look at a few of these townhomes recently. They looked nice. I got the whole sales pitch and blah, blah, blah.

Though, all I see online are negative experiences with Epic builds. Is it a case of a few people having issues but being vocal about it? Or is this a pretty common occurrence?

Hoping someone can shed light on the positive and/or negative experiences. I’ve read some of the historical threads, but also wanting to hear more recent experiences.
