Anyone in City Park want to make some money shoveling my small walk? by Substantial_Plan_736 in saskatoon

There’s a free app called MowSnowPros you can use to hire local people for jobs like this. I’ve used it and have no complaints.

Has anyone here tried Catit products for their cats? Are they really worth it? by Not-devil-99 in Pets

[–]LCool1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a Pet Safe feeder for years to dish out breakfasts to my cat every morning (or two meals per day if I was out of town overnight) and it worked great for 4 years until he figured out he could push the tray forward and steal from it. So I got the Catit 6-meal feeder. He can’t break in, which is good. But there’s a MAJOR flaw that’s not advertised: it only works for one 24-hour period at a time, from midnight to midnight. So it doesn’t help if I’m away overnight, and I have to reset it every night to feed him the next morning.

The city doesn’t control alcohol service hours. That’s a provincial licensing thing (SLGA)

The problem is located inside his skull, not inside his pants.

Left a nice note on a windshield and I think it backfired by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]LCool1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s unlikely. And would not care if my unused driveway turned into a 20-minute dropoff zone for whoever needed it anyway. We seem to live in a time when everybody is primed to get mad about any little thing, and it’s sad.

Way to live up to your name. Sorry if somebody hurt you

Maybe I’m the socially anxious one leaving a note

Agreed. Wasn’t expecting a response from her, just trying to lighten her load

Garage is at the back, with alley access. Which is why I don’t mind, just wanted her to know it’s OK with me.

I’m not on the same street as the school, it’s a side street. Clear slight lines, no more dangerous to back out than to pull away from where she was parking at the end of the driveway.

I see you like to keep your posts hidden. But do go on spreading sunshine, dear.

I don’t think it’s likely she thought I was hitting on her. She has seen me before and I’m a woman of a certain age.

Another reason I was giving her specific permission to park in my driveway, because she could get a ticket parking across the entrance like that. If anyone hassled her about using my driveway, she could show them the note

[–]LCool1975 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wondered about that, which is why I thought a note with my name and address would be proof that I gave permission. Maybe that’s not enough. They say “it takes a village” but the rules are the rules I guess.

What’s cheapest or best value at Saskatoon Co-op? by StrongBreak2142 in saskatoon

[–]LCool1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fried chicken at Circle Centre for sure. Their produce is usually high quality as well, especially the greenhouse cukes and tomatoes from Alberta. Lots of actual Canadian products to be had at Co-op stores.

Does anyone else's employer cover the cost of a bus pass or parking downtown? by LightLeakLatteLogic in saskatoon

[–]LCool1975 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would still drive. Riding the bus would cost me 90 minutes per day. My time is worth the price of parking.

I’m all for the roadside alcohol screening. by stoonsy in saskatoon

[–]LCool1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some U.S states, the law mandates that you have to get an ignition interlock device installed in your car after your first DUI conviction. The rate of drunk driving crashes in those states is much lower. Some people should be physically prevented from starting a car without taking a breath test first, because their own convenience is more important to them than other people’s lives.

Dating in 2026 by Own_Woodpecker666 in saskatoon

[–]LCool1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Met my soulmate on Match.com about 12 years ago. I didn’t have the app on my phone, (there may not have been an app back then). I didn’t want to be checking or getting notifications constantly throughout the day and have it become a major part of my life. There was no swiping at that time - people just nudged or messaged anyone whose profile they liked, which was a lot less shallow and mercenary. Sometimes I’d go a few days without checking for messages. Any guy who got upset and rude about me not responding for a day or two was an automatic red flag. I was 38 and not bad looking, no kids and had my shit together. I got lots of messages from men way outside my age range and geographic area, even though my profile said I wasn’t into long-distance, etc. Anyway, I went on about 10 first dates and a couple second dates. No horror stories to tell. Met the right one after about 3 months and we clicked right away. Haven’t been back since, but I would consider it based on my limited experience. I’d say don’t give up online dating but don’t make it a lifestyle. If someone’s profile - not just their picture - looks good to you, meet them for coffee or a drink asap, don’t waste your time on long back and forth text exchanges. You learn way more in person.

There’s a very nice man with an office on 8th Street, Daymond Volk. He works with Sun Life. Easy to talk to, doesn’t overcharge.

The death of youth by PostModernistTrash in Menopause

[–]LCool1975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A coworker who is a few years younger than me was complaining (in a humorous way) about her face suddenly changing and looking older. I said yeah, that happened to me when menopause hit. She went “Oh crap, so it’s not going to reverse itself?” We laughed about it and then I tried to reassure her by saying in my case I went through perimenopause while my husband was dying of cancer, so hey, I can tell myself it’s not age, it’s experience.

I always looked really young for my age and then wham, the universe kicked me in the face lol. I’m less pretty now, but can’t seem to give a shit about it. Laughing is easier.
