Gotta love a 12 hour marathon of shitty EDM - ended sometime around 3:30am maybe?

If this was you, your parents have failed you in the school of manners.

What is this? Has anyone ever ordered from it? I always see it on DD but have never ordered. The cover image looks… interesting? What it is and where it is?? And if it’s any good? Is it just a cover up?

Covered wood fire bowls for backyard - legal?

4 Upvotes

I was just at Cdn Tire and saw a bunch of cast iron fire bowls (basically a mobile fire pit that’s entirely enclosed with tight mesh, etc

I understand that conventional fire pits (wood fuel) in Kelowna are not legal at any time of year on a non-acreage

But what about these enclosed ones? They’re basically spark guards. Anyone have one or know more details?

The bylaws only seem to mention open pits.

And yes I know that propane stuff is legal but let’s face it, wood fires are so much better.

Dirty Soda Shops

27 Upvotes

Am I mistaken or did not one, but two, “dirty soda” shops open in Kelowna over the past few weeks? First “Sweet Streams” and now “Bless’d Sips”. Seems random as hell that two would open within such a short period of time. Thoughts, feelings, comments?

I’m from South Korea.

I am a firefighter living in Korea. I'm going to Kelowna for about two years of language study in October of this year. What kind of city is Kelowna? And is it easy to make friends there? I like exercise. I enjoy running, CrossFit, and golf. Will my English improve significantly if I live in Kelowna for two years? My biggest goal is to improve my English skills. I would like to seek your advice. 😄

What's the fastest way to get through Kelowna from the bridge to the north end?

12 Upvotes

As the question asks, what's the fastest route to take for a driver to get through the city on the 97C? I drove through this city last weekend at 2:30pm on a Thursday afternoon and that was a long god awful stop and go traffic the entire way from Lake Country to Peachland. I didn't think it was any of special day, but it was a lot of waiting at every intersection, sometimes two cycles to get through. It was like that the entire way. Is that normal now? I've grown up visiting family in Okanagan for decades and I know that route has always been a little sluggish getting through to West Bank--most people just kind of deal with it. It's been a while since I visited but it can't really be like that all the time now, can it?

Local Resources When did "taking care of one's body" get so expensive:/

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a person who has never been a gym buff. Never hikes or does sports, just a regular (not a couch potato) person with 9-5 job, weekend meet ups with friends at house or restaurants, once in a while dancing kinda person. Now hitting late 30s and constant rant from family and friends to join a gym ( plus I started noticing the not so pleasant creaking sounds when I bend or stand up after squatting:/) made me start looking for gym.. I joined couple of places but since I don't know what to do and where to begin, I always end up getting overwhelmed and stop going. So I realized I need a personal trainer and my oh my, the cost was almost similar to getting a minor medical procedure done...... All you healthy angels, kindly guide me to a gym with personal trainers that don't burn a hole in my pocket.

Also, please do not tell me to watch YouTube videos and go do it. I don't think I'll ever voluntarily pick up a 50 kg barbell unnecessarily unless someone screams Go Go Go! ( as my resume states I work great under pressure).
