Don't get me wrong. Dogs are intelligent as well, but their intelligence is greater for things like group communication; they hunt together in a very streamlined and efficient manner. Cats have simply eliminated ( for the most part), the need for living in groups. This is why dogs respond better with humans; we too are pack-social. We automatically associate dogs as more familiar and friendlier than cats, because cats are more strictly social in familiarity whereas humans and dogs are more inter-social regardless of familiarity.
And yes, Hedo is right. All animals, like all humans, are unique; and no, not all energies align. Very well put indeed!
Anything to do with any type of weather less than 75 degrees and sunny. Fuck snow, fuck rain, fuck ice, fuck layers of clothing, fuck wind, fuck boots, fuck gloves & dexterity loss, fuck wearing jackets while driving, fuck windshield wiper fluid, fuck gas bills, fuck blankets. I hate it all!!
And I'll go opposite. I would love to live without weather that is above maybe 13C (55F). I HATE HATE HATE warm/hot weather.
you live in the perfect place in the world then!
No way, summers are still a living hell for me. It's usually 22 - 30C in the summer, even hotter in a real heat wave. It makes me want to die, lol.
ok, I guess I was comparing it to anywhere else in canada. you don't have to fuck around with winter, and it's relatively cool in the summer, AND YOU HAVE NO MOSQUITOES.
The moistness of the air in winnipeg in mid summer is disgusting. everything and everyone is wet as fuck.
"what, only 22 today?" "look at the humidex" "35??? WTF????"
We have plenty of mosquitoes actually. The Okanagan doesn't have them because it's a desert-like region, but most of the rest of BC gets loads of them - more and more the farther north you go (yes, reaching Winnipeg levels, and worse), but the Vancouver area has plenty too, although some years are way better than others. We've got all those forests and woods and lakes and ponds - prime breeding conditions. Not to say that Winnipeg isn't awful in the summers - from those who have told me and from the news, I know that area is like hell on Earth in the summer, lol, and that the mosquitoes are fucking crazy. Definitely way, way worse than Vancouver from what I'm told. Still, mosquitoes are the bane of my existence in the summer. I hate them.

weird, everyone I know from vancouver comes to visit Winnipeg and they turn into one giant mosquito bite because they don't experience it in van. and no one there uses screens on their windows because it's not a problem. I've been there in the summer a number of times and don't recall getting bitten once.

Today was a first cold day for me anyway and I was about to step into the car w/ my big puffy jacket on and in the back of my head I said "fuck wearing jackets while driving", and thought again (where did I hear that) No more! I will wait for the heat to warm me and not have the seatbelt threaten my jugular.

maybe you live near a bog? LOL
No, lol. The mosquitoes are real here. They just aren't comparable to Winnipeg until you get farther north. But yes, you will find way more in damper places, but the difference isn't a matter of this city vs another. The difference is one block vs another. And i guess there are very few in downtown Vancouver outside of Stanley Park, since there are no other breeding grounds downtown. So yeah, you could get lucky and not get bitten, but you could just as likely have 10 bites at the same time, depending on where you happened to go and when. Luck of the draw.
Your friends are a bit full of it, haha. Tons of people in Metro Vancouver have window screens to keep mosquitoes out. But many also don't. It more seems like an older person thing now that I think about it. I don't... and I get mosquitoes in my apartment - it really just depends on the weather that week. I have never gone a summer without at least a few bites, and in other summers I've had 20 bites at one time. Just depends on where you happen to go and when. Anyway, all of our stores are well-stocked with Off! mosquito repellent, so that pretty much tells the story I guess, lol. But again, yeah, it's nothing like Winnipeg. Compared to there I'm sure it does kind of feel like there aren't any here (and ours are usually tiny too), but that's just relative perception speaking I think. However, people have been commenting for the last few years about the surprisingly low number of mosquitoes compared to years past. Climate change, most think.

All the stupid fucking commercials saying if you love her buy her jewelry. How about if you love each other you don't need fucking jewelry to "prove it".
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
All the stupid fucking commercials saying if you love her buy her jewelry. How about if you love each other you don't need fucking jewelry to "prove it".
Damn straight! Don't get me wrong, I love jewelry but who needs another diamond when you already have something priceless.

well I wasn't just going by what friends say, as I often think vancouver people tend to exaggerate the awesomeness of van vs peg (one peg expat friend of mine insisted he wore shorts to school on valentine's day, and that this was a regular ocurrence), it's by what I've seen/experienced. I stayed for a week in mid-summer in kits and nary a mosquito to be found. walked around stanley park for hours and nothing. outdoor patios outside of downtown, right near the ocean and forest, etc. I've been there several times in downtown and in suburbs in summer and never got a bite. But I haven't been anywhere outside of Vancouver in BC in 30 years.
maybe I just didn't notice them as in winnipeg they seem to be the size and viciousness of hawks. LOL.
montreal was the same for us. no screens anywhere, all restaurants everywhere had windows open, etc. it was paradise to a prairie dweller.

Maybe you have bitter blood? I dunno man! I don't recall being bothered at any beaches either (the sand fleas are sometimes a nuisance at those though), but I know I've been eaten alive in Stanley Park and most other forested places unless it's been unusually dry. But yeah, my version of a lot of mozzies and yours are probably different, lol. Although I did paddle the Bowron Lakes before, just south of Prince George, and that is where I learned what a LOT of mosquitoes really means. We had to wear netting..

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
those stupid VIPoo commercials comparing poops to 'devil's donuts'...I will never look at chocolate donuts the same ever again.
Speaking of ads about poo, I could do without those Charmin ads where the bears are now actually threatening to not change their underpants because Charmin will stop the skid marks, which are apparently the only reason they change their underpants at all.
