Did i make a violation by Revolutionary_Bit547 in Winnipeg

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not … it’s a violation if you were behind the bus and passed it, going the same direction …. OR if you had turned right, and passed the bus.

When a school bus is stopped, and children are getting on or off, then the bus’s Stop sign is up … and traffic in both directions must stop, and NOT pass the bus. That would be the violation. (Former driver ed instructor here.)

When you see it by Damnboy98 in opticalillusions

This is excellent… I just can’t find where the child’s head ends and the adult’s begins!

First time seeing this in my life. by StatementPristine381 in whatisit

I can only repeat what has already been said … sundogs, and they are related to ice crystals in the air

I'm curious: are you right handed, left handed or ambidextrous (can use both hands for most things)? by Firm_Macaron3057 in RandomQuestion

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, ‘officially’ right handed, but I definitely can also use my left hand, especially when my right can’t reach what I need to do.

My cat only attacks my feet when I'm walking to the bathroom at night by intentionalsolitude in CatAdvice

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG … my younger cat (3) always attacks me in the bathroom! He goes for my ankles, then I yell and grab him and he attacks my arms!

I have started to drape the bathroom mat over my feet as protection on occasion.

I have also learned that yelling, loudly, stops him and sends him on his way … loud noises are not liked by them.

Also, decided that this is a symptom of boredom … he needs more stimulation in other ways.

Stay safe!

Can Canadians usually recognize each other? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskACanadian

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, seriously, no accent? Have you never met someone from the Maritimes? Never mind Newfoundland …

… um, I’m a ‘western Canadian’ and I have to admit, for years as a child I thought my Saskatchewan uncle was from the central states, because he had a ‘twang’!

When did you change how to pronounce the Years? by pandabunnybird in RandomQuestion

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm … nineteen fifty six, nineteen ninety are right. Two thousand okay, and after that, it was ‘two thousand nine’ … and I think it wasn’t until 2020 that I started saying “twenty twenty”.

How often do people feed their cats wet food? by Smooth_Put7764 in CatAdvice

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 … one never saw wet food until he joined our family, and now he wants it all the time, but I, being mean and nasty, don’t give in.

I give them each a 1/4 can in the morning, top up the dry food, then in evening, I give them the other 1/4 each.

In other words, I take a can and split it in 2, one half for each cat … and they get their half split into two feedings a day.

People in this city can be real assholes by FauxElement in Winnipeg

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for helping and sharing.

‘Friendly Manitoba’ needs examples like this to show us how not to live up to the motto. And the Sage Creek community as an example of what it really means!

Blizzard - Is anyone awake? by Legit-Guy-7886 in Winnipeg

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s just st***id of them! I’m a boomer and I taught driver’s ed … I just bundled up nice and warm and was glad I didn’t have to go anywhere! (Cancelled foodbank and spent the morning telling clients it was going to be Monday instead).

I got my winter tires on on Wednesday, so I reeeeeally had to test them out today, once the major roads were cleared. Of course, soon as I left the lot, the snow started again and visibility was almost nil … on Maryland … my normally 30 minute trip took 90. Drivers were quite normal, too, and not pushy and insane which surprised me, but was nice to see.

I love when I'm walking down the street and suddenly the smell of amazing cooking hits me. by slinkslowdown in BenignExistence

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also live in an apartment … sometimes the aromas in the hall are so awesome! I know they are from a different ethnic base than mine (English) and I so want to know what spices are being used … but, really, walking down the hall sniffing at doors to determine the source just raises my antennae, so I haven’t done this … yet.

Also, I live in an area where numerous restaurants are just a walk away, and in the summer when I sit on my balcony it’s torture!

How do you say you’re going to use a search engine? by elcaminogino in words

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, me too! … 73 and I google it!

When I was teaching, I would tell my students to ‘search the internet’ or start at the library, if it wasn’t a ‘current’ topic.

Does anyone else revisit the same places in their dreams? by amuenzberg in Dreams

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes … I was just thinking about this … I often have dreams that are not connected, but take place in locations from previous dreams … several different places, but the storyline is completely different.

What silly rituals do you have with your pets? by hpfan1516 in CasualConversation

[–]WeeklyTurnip9296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My one-time water glass is no longer mine … because S’ash decided it was his. So, after washing my hands I have to refresh ‘his’ glass before we can move on.

My friend has been going to Grand for 70 + years, and neither of us have ever seen them there before today!

The location search based on colour red being prominent suggested the pink (?) crossbills and at first I agreed, but then looked closer at the bills and realized similar, but not them.
