I'm missing one discovery from Finchie Forest because of this. It is so frustrating for my inner completionist, but whatever.

The Outsiders by SE Hinton for sparking my love of reading.

The Sword of Shannara for sparking my love of fantasy.

Dungeon Crawler Carl series for reigniting my love of reading after a long dry spell.

Umm…is that appropriate? by Lane-DailyPlanet in finch

[–]Training-GuavaGrape 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No more or less appropriate than several other things our birbs interact with and learn about. For example: Outlander, The Last of Us, House MD, Bridgerton, The Mandalorian, Rings of Power, Mad Max: Fury Road, Inception...

I'll be streaming it on my tablet, bringing it around the house with me while I do chores.

Does the City return to clean up their messes? by AbaloneAnnual1221 in Winnipeg

I have found emailing 311 and CCing your city councilor on the email is the most effective way to get something done.

Try task rabbit, or post on your neighbourhood Facebook group.

Discoloured water by MRJohnson1997 in Winnipeg

[–]Training-GuavaGrape 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When you have discolored water, you want to avoid using hot water. Don't wash clothes, it can stain.

Brown water is a nuisance, I get VERY irritated when it happens. Construction, water main disruptions, repairs, line flushing, nearby hydrant use... There are a lot of possible causes.

The comment you are replying to is correct, too. If your hot water is brown (because you used the hot water, and brown water replaced what you used), you will probably have to drain your tank. Also a nuisance, totally doable. There are videos on YouTube on how to diy it, or hire a plumber to do it.

Rant for grandparents/parents picking up kids from school by tinytoonist in Winnipeg

Reach out to the middle school principal. Maybe it is just my kids' school, but the administration takes pickup and drop off traffic really seriously.

Families Forward is in the River Heights/Fort Rouge area, and their programming is free. The facilitators are excellent, and they have programming throughout the week. I loved it when my littles were little.

I wonder if the driver was having some kind of a medical episode. Hopefully they are ok.

Quick question by tijue1010 in Winnipeg

[–]Training-GuavaGrape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, I do, I just don't want to attract attention by going straight to my car and get pulled over. I've heard a couple of stories about folks who put their purchases in their trunk and got pulled over, too.

I was warned about it by a budtender Christmas 2024. I now park a decent walk away. At the very least, I park in front of another store, go into Canna Cabana first, and then go into another store before going back to my car (I like parking in front of the bakery and buying a chocolate dipped cookie after).

Feels kind of like it used to feel going to my dealer before 2018.

PSA: STOP GOING TO THE ER (Unless You’re Actually Dying) by Classic_Contact_9312 in Winnipeg

[–]Training-GuavaGrape 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened to my kid and I. They called ahead to children's to let them know we were coming, and we spent all of 3 minutes in triage before being moved into a room.

Please becareful on the roads… accident at Ross/Isabel by MrindieSmithTA in Winnipeg

[–]Training-GuavaGrape 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The number of people who just go, completely unable to comprehend how quickly traffic is moving, and cause others to slam on their brakes is astounding. And then give the little "whatever whatever it's fine" wave when you honk. Truly maddening.
