I hear what you are saying. That being said this winter has been hell on me, I’ve had three bad slip and falls walking the dog. A concussion that slowed me down for months and just this week a wrist injury that I initially thought might be broken but I think just a bad sprain.

At this point we are here because my wife’s parents are elderly and need our help sometimes. Leaving Bomber season tickets behind and some of the concerts and other great thing Winnipeg gets would be a struggle.

It is getting harder for me to want to stay here. I look at the April that Kelowna has had it certainly offsets the August smoke. I could likely give up the yard and space in the house for a condo and the beach and outdoors. Neither the wife or I would even need to change jobs to do it.

Had to run a pump in the side yard yesterday, pool of water about 4” deep against the foundation but no seepage. Sump pump is likely every 10 to 15 today, was every5 or less yesterday. Snowing currently as it was never that warm today, hopefully that allows the drainage system to catch up. Lots of roads under water, Concordia by Kildonan East, Henderson at North Perimeter. Apparently the entire northbound side of route 90 at Dublin has collapsed. Janice Lukes posting that all the retaining ponds in Waverly West have exceeded capacity.

When I could eat fried chicken I see to remember the Clandeboye store having great fried chicken. KFC is the worst.

Best quick serve coffee there is. If my travel mug from home gets empty and I need another I will drive past every other until a McD’s. If you are in the city hit up a Sals. They have some coupons right now that make it cheaper than McD’s and much better food. I do agree that McD’s are the best quick serve fries(when fresh and hot).

I’m going to guess 600 Million for the full project to be completed. The only original part that will remain is the outer wall. Can’t have residential space without windows so that can only be the outer ring, unless the hollow out the middle for a “courtyard” type space. Abandoning 1/3 or more of the square footage.

I’ll back you up. When we first looked it was “under review” or some such status. They were investigating but had no definitive answer yet.

I for one thank you and appreciate your efforts and graciousness to host the lot of us.

Snores was my first look too. Again recipes between Canada and US can vary as well but having fed Mc D”s ice cream to a pup many times I would think it is false as well.

Do you have an actual source or evidence? From what I can find just a bunch of social media posts without source themselves.

I have a friend that lives 30 miles South of Minneapolis, he said they were getting rain tonight like he’s never seen it before. If it was colder he figures a foot of snow per hour wouldn’t have been a stretch. Glad to hear that schools are closed and no one is to report until Monday. Just wish they did it earlier than 9pm but happy it wasn’t 6am.

I booked this week off 2 months ago. Not only does this storm ruin my plans but they are closing the office for 2 days and those F’ers are getting 2 free days off…

“Potentially historic blizzard” is what the weather network is calling it now. This had better be some kind of storm or I will be disappointed.

Is your side yard adjacent to Concordia Ave East? If not you aren’t the only one with this situation. There are many areas in my neighbourhood that the pliéing is what I would call sidewalk adjacent…

Picking up white chocolate pistachio from Dug and Betty’s as I read your reply and type this…

I will have to give Sweet Tops another try. Last Sunday Sub Zero hadn't opened for the season yet so we went to Cool Encounters, 1 of 3 treats made well, one okay and one needed remaking. My wife's chocolate shake with a pistachio flavour burst arrived on the counter white... It's still a chocolate shake, WTF???

All this burger talk, picked up some fresh ground chuck and going throw burgers down over some charcoal tomorrow. Just a little too much snow in the charge to do smash burgers on the wood fired Teppan grill.

I’ve had it in Brandon and from the St James location. Solid products and they have tots…

I am impatiently waiting for Wayback on Regent to open. They put out a pretty solid offering and have a decent gluten free bun.

While talking about restaurants, I need to order lunch for about 25 people, must be locally owned. Thoughts?

I was diagnosed Celiac about 6 weeks after my last visit there so it wouldn’t be the same for me anyway but my wife is crying after seeing those pics. Her heart aches for a “Special”.

Driving by that smashed window every morning just about makes me cry. My wife hasn’t been the same, we reminisce about that that weekly. “What’s the soup?” Don’t worry, you’ll like. Eat soup, no pay. Don’t eat soup, you pay. 5 years and I can’t tell you of a replacement, there just isn’t one.

I suspect it already has both.

Depending on the weather… Cold air will not help might hurt you even, some of the guys I know with the longest lingering symptoms spent too much time in cold air.
