Anyone here have schizoaffective, schizophrenia or bipolar?

Very specific question and probably won't get much traction but thought to try.

I have schizoaffective bipolar type (so schizophrenic with a mood disorder for those not familiar with it). While I'm extremely fortunate to have a good support system and they help me so much, I've always wanted to meet people like me because being like this is very lonely sometimes.

They do have support groups here in Abby but I'm at work when they happen so I can't attend.

So if anyone wants a fellow mentally ill friend, hit me up, my DMs don't work but the chat option does. Hope everyone has a great day :)

Question about showering during the ecoli water thing

Hi. I'm in the affected area of the ecoli water. I just wanted to know if it's safe to shower? Not an excessively long one, but long enough to wash my hair and feel clean? I know we can't drink it, and I don't usually make a point of trying to drink my showers, so would I be 'safe' to do this? I am unfortunately a person with a comprised/lowered immune system thanks to medication I take for an actice autoimmune disorder.

Thanks for any feedback!

Anyone else in Clearbrook feeling some symptoms?

I drank water and brushed my teeth yesterday before seeing the notice, definitely not feeling so great between the cramps and washroom visits. Anyone else in the same boat?

Pretty frusterating situation. I really want to see the investigation into this.

Abbotsford BC smoking friends

Hey, just putting the idea out there and seeing what kind of response I get. As it gets colder I thought people might want a place to smoke up. Especially those that live in condos or places where they can’t smoke up inside. I have a covered and somewhat enclosed and heated back porch where we smoke up . And thought perhaps people would want to come over and smoke up with us. I’m a 47 M and my wife is 38 if that makes any difference. People around that age may be a better “fit” . Myself I only smoke up on Friday and Saturday nights for the most part, however my wife smokes up more frequently during the week. Let me know, thanks

Highstreet Poke?

Hey Guys,

I own a couple of poke shops in the lower mainland and am looking at opening one in HighStreet.

Just looking for some feedback from you guys on if you think that would be a good idea based on your experience at the mall.

I heard a lot of the residents are mainly east Indian in that area and they don't typically eat raw fish.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

I need recommendations for personal trainers that work with seniors

Absolute bonus points if the trainers are also older and not in their 20/30s.

Old pictures

Just wondering if anybody has pictures of Abbotsford pre 2009 and even farther back. Possibly of properties that once were either farms or fields and now have been developed. I have been through just about every picture on the reach archive,and just wondering if anybody has some from their personal collection. Especially of downtown Abbotsford in the early 2000’s before the hallmark facelift of many store fronts.

Animal fosters desperately needed!

hello everyone,

I have posted here before about a local rescue and I have another request I wanted to share so hopefully that's ok.

Heart and Soul Dog and Cat Rescue urgently needs more foster homes as temperatures drop and more animals require care and warmth this winter. With many furry friends in need of a safe, loving environment, your help could make all the difference. If you're looking to share the festive season with a little cutie who needs support, please consider fostering today!

Questions: anita.catfe@gmail.com

Info on cuties hoping to come in their care is attached.
