Dec. 25th, 2009 @ 11:43 pm Winnipeg Hotels
Hello Winnipeg,


I'm looking for a one night stay in a Winnipeg hotel. Any suggestions? Something maybe with a restaurant attached or something no more than 200 for the night. Experiences, prices, good service whatever...

Let me know what you know. Thanks!

Dec. 24th, 2009 @ 08:29 pm adult onesies?
Hi there! On a search for a gift for my boyfriend. We've had a running joke about adult onesie pyjamas. I wanted to get him some for Christmas, but have had no luck. I realize you can get them online, but I'd rather be able to try them on, etc. Does anyone know a place in Winnipeg that sells these? I've tried Zellers, Wal Mart, the Bay, etc.

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Dec. 24th, 2009 @ 12:54 pm Grocery Stores Open for Christmas?
Hello Winnipeg,

Can anyone suggest grocery stores to me, specific locations or in general, that will either definitely be closed, or definitely stay open this evening (and until what time, if you know!) and/or anytime Christmas Day? Hours for Christmas would be super appreciated too, if you know them.
I'm thinking stores like Safeway, Extra Foods, etc.

I'm asking because I need to do grocery shopping for the entirety of January (long story), and tonight, tomorrow, and boxing day morning are the only times I have access to a car. I'd feel better doing this tonight or tomorrow for obvious reasons like crazy bargain hunters and traffic on Boxing Day.

Thanks for your help!

Dec. 23rd, 2009 @ 06:15 pm doing a test project
I'm looking for people that aren't good with their money...
people that are having money troubles....
people that are thinking about declaring bankruptcy or consumer proposal....
people that use to have money troubles .....
people who did declare bankruptcy or consumer proposal....

I'm a financial planner (use to be social service worker... read social worker in non-profit community agencies) and I'm looking to find people that I can help (for free) so that I can gather statistics.  I'm not keeping any names attached to the data and won't even care about male or females.  I'm looking more to prove or disprove the varying socio-theories regarding mistakes/problems that people have regarding finances.  I'm a geek... (and yes I like to stir the pot in this community when I get board) .... this is a project I'm running to propose change.  Your help, or the help of help who need help ... would be appreciated.

Serious and not so serious replies only...

Hey, what the fuck is up with that location? Are the counter girls trained to be supreme nasty bitches, or something? Or did I miss a memo saying that it's okay to be totally silent to customers at all times?

Just had a pretty crappy experience there. The only saving grace was one of the women working there, who was super awesome with my kid. But yeah, not really digging the treatment there. I thought my first bad experience was a fluke [I got a gift certificate, and again, counter clerks were just total hosebeasts], but apparently that location just thrives on nastiness.

See if I go back there, you overpriced jerks!

*cue angry fist shaking*

Dec. 22nd, 2009 @ 04:19 pm Wedding/Engagement Rings
I've found several "ethical" rings online, but I'm hoping to buy locally.
Can anybody tell me where I could find wedding/engagement rings in Winnipeg that use recycled gold, fair trade, conflict-free diamonds, etc.
Thanks!

Dec. 22nd, 2009 @ 02:50 pm Midwives
Has anyone else had trouble obtaining the services of a midwife in Winnipeg? There are four places to put your name on for one, and all four of them have told me that there simply aren't enough midwives to have one assigned to me for the month around my due date.

Of course we could hire a doula, but that simply isn't the same. I was told to write to my MLA and to the WRHA because apparently up to 80% of women who want a midwife aren't able to be cared for by a midwife in the city due to the shortage of positions available. It's so sad that women don't really have much of an option regarding this in Winnipeg.

Where can I find...

Some sort of very low carb cookies or other treats? Christmas-y, preferably. A friend of mine does that nonsense, and I thought I'd get her something to make up for always harrassing her about it. I looked at some recipes but they all sound complicated and have crazy ingredients and also I can't bake.

Funny t-shirts? Crude, crass, dumb, I don't care. For men who enjoy fishing and drinking beer and wearing such shirts.

Why, thank you.

Dec. 18th, 2009 @ 02:58 pm US Flight Connections Question
I know that there's some savvy travellers out there who can help me out. I'm going to Las Vegas at the end of January and at the moment the cheapest option for a return flight has two connections, one in Houston and the other in Chicago with only 50 minutes between each flight. Is this enough time? I don't have any experience with connecting flights in the US so I'm pretty clueless...The flight is overnight so I would think that airport traffic would be pretty slow, if that makes a difference?
Thank-you!

I live out of town and need to come into the city to finish my xmas shopping this weekend. I know where to find everything but I need help finding a Rescue Pets 'Swim to Me Puppy' Dalmation.

Do the stores even have this available still...? If so as anyone seen one recently?





Thanks!

Dec. 17th, 2009 @ 09:01 pm getting your eyes checked..
I've been getting my eyes checked at Lakewood medical ever since I can remember.. I'm overdue for a update on my prescription but am no longer covered by my parents benefits. They want to charge me $70! Is that about the regular price? Is there anywhere that will do them cheaper?
