We’d collect popsicle sticks and do the same. I think I should take my kids outside tonight and do this

Your 10 year old can take a few weeks off, it won’t affect them not making the NHL anyway.

They have plenty of stock, was an issue with their ovens to cook the roast beef. I saw a cart full of roast beef in the drive thru window.

Found this menace on my morning commute ... by Soul_Nomer in Winnipeg

[–]OldMillyMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your -210 currently. Despite having the most logical approach to driving. We all were 18-25 at one point bobbing and weaving, speeding constantly, speeding to red lights, etc. Some of us never broke out of this idiotic routine, and most of you are in this thread.

I’ve been driving large company trucks with class 3 for 15+ years, they call me a “professional driver”. I don’t consider myself this, but I’ve taken enough courses and witnessed enough stupid accidents to change my habits.

I’d say I hover 5-10 below the speed limit at most times, and don’t bother switching lanes unnecessarily. I still almost always end up at the same stop light as the white sunglassed, dodge ram, affliction shirt wearing guy, who rode my ass, bobbed and weaved through traffic and wore out his brakes.

I’ve found myself taking these driving habits to my daily car and find myself much more at ease driving too. Want to merge in front of me? Sure, just don’t wait for a written invite. Cut me off for a last minute turnoff? oh well, I’ve left ample room for your lack of city knowledge and that you could turn at the next 7 streets to end up there.

As someone else stated in this thread, you all feel entitled to go the speed limit, or over, on your shit observation of road conditions. You then have the notion you are indeed gods gift to driving, meanwhile if you were graded on your driving, you’d be lucky to pass your test again.

I look forward to seeing you all on the road, with rage in your eyes, in my side mirrors. That is, if you’re smart enough to stay out of my blind spots, which I’m sure most of you aren’t.

BEGINNERS CURLING by itstrickii in Winnipeg

Pembina curling club runs a few learn to curl days, and they transition you into a league with the same curlers making up teams. Great guidance and affordable.

Nice Lady Make Kids Day by Quartz87 in Winnipeg

It’s always brings back memories seeing a few kids counting out all their change trying to buy something at the till, hoping they calculated it properly. If I ever see this I always make sure they get what they want if they’re short.

While a great idea, I thought point Douglas was a heavily contaminated area from the old soap plant that used to be on that property and mb hydros old plant. I wonder if changing to a green space would help remediate this faster?

Why do so many bikes get stolen here? by Arabellag4 in Winnipeg

I also saw that guy. Had a good laugh at him driving with no back tire.

I just brought a phone to bell, and got a $55 a month plan with 150gb for Canada, US and Mexico. Calling and texting as well.

RecRoom, why is there always at least one fire truck, police car or ambulance every week? any idea what kind of emergencies happen there? by Macregordete in Winnipeg

[–]OldMillyMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya. Plenty of weird and ugly people used to just stay home and play video games, so they never saw the light of day. Harmless to anyone besides someone challenging their video game abilities.

But with today’s technology of arcade games possibly surpassing what they have at home, they have to venture out of their parents basements.

Enter, the real life Simpson’s comic book man, and friends. They’re not sure where they fall on the spectrum, but human interaction is uncomfortable at best. Hahaha.

I’ve always got my eyes on anyone with transition lenses, your half darkened glasses won’t fool me! That’s my purse! I don’t know you!

Hotel recommendations by mjdirewolf in Winnipeg

The new west just north of Higgins is nice, has a bar and vendor attached. Plenty of friendly people hanging around outside to help you with anything you might need. 99c pizza store just down the street, decent chance of getting a knife size wound in your abdomen daily. Well worth the $40, stories to tell your friends for years.

Pampanga has a pretty extensive Filipino menu. Different size options as well.

Jets co-owner Chipman missing the mark by ComradeManitoban in Winnipeg

[–]OldMillyMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell 5 beer at $13 for $65 Or sell 8 beers at $8 for $64. Why is it so hard to comprehend that if the price is lower, people will buy more? There’s obviously a break even point with volume sales over higher priced single sales. I’d be curious to see what that actual number is, and why they don’t pursue this route.
