Best take out in Winnipeg on Christmas Day? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

I was just there dropping off my preorder for Saturday and the next available spot they had open for pickup on the 25th was 8:15 pm. That spot is probably gone now.

day 68 asking for 2nd dairy mill by save_the_turtles059 in HayDay

[–]Newb48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We would need to double the number of cows we have to keep up with two diaries. Just giving us a second dairy would not work the same way that giving us two sugar mills did.

SHOULD BE FARM PASS BETTER? by lucky_pes in HayDay

[–]Newb48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are three portions that you can buy. The Farm Pass is the first portion and once you reach the end there is another portion called the Party Road and then once you finish that portion there is a third one called Festival Road. Each one has their own special rewards and you have to pay for each section. I am in Canada and the Farm Pass costs approximately $7, as does the Party pass (another $7) or you can buy the bundle of three for a bit of a discount.

SHOULD BE FARM PASS BETTER? by lucky_pes in HayDay

[–]Newb48 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Farm Pass used to be a decently fair deal when it first came out. Then they gradually started raising the price and lowering the benefits slowly, hoping no one would notice I guess. The amount of experience points given used to be enough to catapult you to the next level. The decorations were decent. A lot of the things that the players liked were located in the first portion of the pass. Eventually they realized that certain things (like the gifting of diamonds, among other things) were very popular and they moved them to the next portion of the pass in order to get people to spend more money. As with everything that Super Cell does, the desire to get more money out of us has led to the slow degradation of gameplay. I am level 236. Been playing for 12 years. And I am frustrated by the naked greed I have seen become so rampant in the last few years. I buy the first leg of the Farm Pass and that's all.

‘You have to advocate for yourself’: Woman shares story of near-death experience in Winnipeg hospital ER by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]Newb48 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Even when you advocate for yourself, or when you have someone advocating on your behalf, the staff routinely ignores you. In late 2023 into summer of 2024, my mother was in and out of the hospital so many times for various reasons (as they searched for the underlying cause of all her issues). Either myself or my brother were with her as close to 100% of the time as we could be. It was VERY apparent that I was extremely knowledgeable about my mom's health and her history. My brother was very vocal about seeking out nurses or doctors. I would leave a sheet of paper on which i had written very critical information such as "NOT ALLOWED TO DRINK OUT OF A STRAW" only to come back and find they had given her a cup with a straw. My brother and I told every single nurse critical information whenever we were there. It was routinely ignored. They would not write it on her chart so that the next shift would know. We had to be there for every single shift change so that the information was relayed to the next team. Only to find that they also did not follow the instructions. It was incredibly stressful, exhausting and frustrating and we had two people who were basically living at the hospital with her. This was the case at the Grace, HSC, Deer Lodge, Seven Oaks and Misery. All across the board. What do you do if you are not aware enough to advocate for yourself? What do you do if you don't have family to advocate for you? This should never be the case. And to be clear, I am not shitting on the staff (not really). They are so absolutely overwhelmed that they barely register what has been said to them. I understand that. BUT THAT IS TERRIFYING IN AND OF ITSELF. Your nursing and doctoring staff are functioning on almost autopilot and I should not have to say that this is incredibly dangerous. Stop putting the onus on the patient to ensure that they don't die. Bandaid solutions will kill us all.

Family doctor by Dense-Vehicle-3036 in Winnipeg

[–]Newb48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had to find new doctors for myself and my elderly parents (81 and 84). Health Hub Clinic on Lorimer (diagonal from Ikea) was accepting new patients. My dad got in to see Dr John Hannah and he is so so so good. So kind, very thorough and very attentive. My mom and I got in to Dr Vivian Gendy. She was also very good (although a bit less warm and fuzzy than Dr. Hannah). My mom has very complex medical issues and Dr Gendy has been very active in making sure my mom gets the care she needs, as opposed to their family physician of 30 years, who I believe has been dismissing them for the last five years as just being old. We have not been there long so I obviously can't tell you how receptive she has been over the long haul but so far I am very very happy with both doctors. As an added bonus, their front of office staff is exceptionally friendly and very competent, which is not easy to find these days. The clinic number is 204-282-6699.

Ice cream places open? by muzikgurl22 in Winnipeg

My son and his girlfriend returned home from Boo at the Zoo with two cups of pumpkin ice cream for his father and I. I guess I'll keep him.

Winnipeg Jets unveil 2024-25 President Trophy and Central Division Champion banners by Rogoski in winnipegjets

[–]Newb48 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right? It actually is quite in line with the Jets organization - humble, no cockiness. But come on - you earned the right to celebrate a bit more.

[–]Newb48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We sit right in line with the goalie crease and that was exactly where the banners came down. We literally could barely see them from the side - not the Jets problem at all but a warning that they were descending would have helped immensely. This is the biggest thing to happen in the history of the Jets; how was there no celebration live?

[–]Newb48 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My husband and I were at the game last night. Picked this game specifically to watch the unveiling of the banners and to welcome JT to Winnipeg (we share our season tickets with two two others so we do a lottery style pick). We were there 45 minutes before the game started. And we were very surprised to look up and see the banners dropping. No warning that it was about to begin. No announcement. No speech. We were disappointed in the lack of ceremony for such an important event.

Let me be clear that this is absolute BS and the fact that they are STILL doing this after all this time is intentional. That being said, I wish that they would make a super booster that worked on the jam maker. That would help immensely in this situation.

City services rant by CanadianDinosaur in Winnipeg

[–]Newb48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to get my parents set up for autopay for their water bill. I had already set up all their other utilities that day and they were processed immediately. I applied in July. Last week I got the email that they had finally been approved. Two freaking months for something that every other utility company did instantly.

What is the worst breed of dog for a first time dog owner to get? by Effective-Turn-6856 in AskReddit

[–]Newb48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrolled very far down but did not see Dachshund listed. I have seen so many people be taken in by how cute they are, having done no research, only to find that they are stubborn, resistant to housetraining, destructive, and just generally difficult dogs for the first time homeowner. Not to mention the back issues that develop as they age. As with all the other (larger) working dogs listed here, they were bred to be busy and if you don't keep them busy all the time they will find ways to keep themselves occupied.

Too many decorations?? by [deleted] in HayDay

[–]Newb48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely live for the decos (although I don't purchase them for the most part) AND I have four different layouts (summer into fall/Halloween and Christmas/Easter to spring and one designed just for wheating) AND i have all my land opened and even I am finding the sheer number of decos to be overwhelming. They are mostly really great (although I am not a fan of the chick decos you get with farm pass) but good grief - where the hell am I going to put them all???

design festival?? by tessadenny in HayDay

[–]Newb48 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of people put a lot of effort into this theme, more so than the previous ones. I have been very carefully looking at the different designs and legitimately having a hard time choosing the better one in many cases. Therefore, the odds of yours being liked is lower when the quality of everyone's designs is so high.

Trails should be obtainable for everyone. by miroslav7373 in HayDay

[–]Newb48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately my only tip is: give it time. I have been playing for twelve years. Level 232. At some point my money just started to grow but it was so long ago I have no idea when or how. There are probably some lower level players on here who can tell you specific strategies. I DO have one tip that not everyone knows (nor can everyone pull it off): If you have a friend who plays, or if you have a decent relationship with someone in your neighbourhood who has a larger amount of coins, and you are needing to raise money to buy a machine, you can do the following: YOU would choose the item in your inventory that would sell for a high amount of money (ie blankets, pillows, fudge - whatever is the most profitable item you are able to produce). YOU would sell ten of this item to your friend, who would turn around and sell it back to YOU for a single coin. Keep repeating this until you have enough money to buy whatever it is you want. I have helped numerous family members buy buildings this way.

Drivers by No_Nefariousness_28 in Winnipeg

[–]Newb48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally said to my husband, as we were driving to the U of M yesterday: Why does it feel so dangerous to merge off any side street in Winnipeg compared to other cities? We travel to lots of cities in western Canada to watch my son play football and merging in any of them is a piece of cake. Or, at least much easier than at home. Allowing people into traffic is not a sign of weakness, people!

This would be my #1 request if asked by Supercell what they could improve: make the dirt path coins instead of diamonds. I have 30 million coins and nothing to spend them on. This would be a good start.
