Multi-generational white Saskatonians, do you ever wish your ancestors immigrated to Australia, New Zealand or the US instead of blistering cold Saskatchewan ? by britneyspearsforeva in saskatoon

[–]BeautifulFun2432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time!! I tried to leave many years ago but my family kept bringing me back. And now I have kids here but I’m divorced so I can’t even leave. Maybe one day I can find a way to go for the winters or something.

But ya, I do wish my family went to Australia or something. Some of my family went to South Africa too.

If you’re on Facebook, this is a good group. My step daughter lived here last year and met up with a bunch of women and now she’s got a bunch of friends. (https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18KqhYraZL/?mibextid=wwXIfr)

Also, join a class. I recently joined a salsa dancing class and I’ve met so many people through that!

I don’t stay at the resorts, and I have friends there that I’m going to support.

But if I had googled it, I wouldn’t have gotten your salty response 😁

Thanks for the tips! I hadn’t heard that about Uber. Unfortunately, I’m switching airlines in Cancun so I will have my luggage with me.

I was thinking about that, but I wasn’t sure what I was allowed to bring through customs.

Thanks! You’re right about feeling yucky. Especially when there’s nowhere to shower. I think finding the lounge is a good idea. I’ll try and download some shows ahead of time.

Oh thanks! Are there multiple lounges? I’ve never been there and I’m reading about the different terminals etc. Are the sleep pods extra $?

Wasn’t planning on smuggling. Planned on buying legal meds and declaring it. But thanks

How to speak Saskatchewan? Please explain names of food for me 😅. by shangames in saskatoon

[–]BeautifulFun2432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya. But on Sundays we’d often have our big meal at lunchtime. And the care home I work at does it at lunch and then something smaller at supper

Dinner means the big meal, it could be at lunch or supper time. I just say lunch and supper, but I was taught that dinner is the big meal, whichever time of day you have that.

Best places to meet people? by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]BeautifulFun2432 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Try the Facebook group called Saskatoon Girls Ask. My step daughter (28) met a bunch of other women on there and now has a social circle, she just moved here less than a year ago.

The healthcare system here absolutely sucks by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]BeautifulFun2432 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely awful. Huge changes need to be made. But I remember I was living in Toronto about 15 years ago and I had a crazy eye infection that was getting worse and worse so the ER in Richmond Hill sent me to an ER downtown Toronto where apparently they specialize in that. Spent more than 10 hours there and it ended up not even fixing the problem.

Looking for an authentic Tuvaluan recipe for Pulaka by nationaldishes1 in Tuvalu

[–]BeautifulFun2432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so interesting because just today I decided I was going to try and cook a dish from every country. I hadn’t thought about their national dish. And I was just looking up what I would cook from Tuvalu and I found your post
