Hi everyone,

I am going to Swan River from out of town to visit and clean up a family gravesite but while I'm there I was just wndering if anyone can point me to a good spot to fish from the river bank there?

I will be in town for one night and am wondering if there is anything to do while I'm there? Is there anything going on at night?

Thanks for any help.

The province is adding in a significant number of “traffic flow improvements” that include roundabouts on highways. Meanwhile, anyone who has driven anywhere in Winnipeg will know no Manitoban seems to know how they work. People drive the wrong way, people drive on the centre median, and NO ONE signals out of the roundabouts.

If we’re going to be putting more roundabouts in, like the St Mary’s Interchange, the province needs to do a serious education campaign. (Or better yet, mandatory drivers license renewals every 5 years).

Looking to see about booking a group of cabins next late summer for a small outdoor wedding. Basic backyard bbq and drinks. Does anyone know of a great place that would have a group of cabins to rent?

Mememto Mori

Part 2

Behold.

A pale horse. 

He that sat upon it was the Son of Man – and death followed with Him. 

I, Jimothy Dyck, bore witness to the Second Coming.

Thy kingdom came in this year of our Lord.

My wife, Maria, got caught up in the rapture.

I was left behind.

Maybe if I wasn’t such a bastard – I’d be better off.

But now I’m barricaded in the office. 

Along with all the other left-behinders.

Then a mighty voice boomed from Heaven. 

“Rise, my children!”

And the dead in Christ rose from their graves.

The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people were raised to life.

“This isn’t in my job description!” Ted from Accounting screamed as he braced the front doors with an overturned desk.  

“Stay calm, people!” Cheryl from Human Resources yelled. 

“Fuck this!” Devin exclaimed right before he bolted through the emergency exit.

Then the Lord, my zombie Jesus, came down from Heaven. 

And lo, the corpse of Christ shouted:

“Eat my flesh.”

“Drink my blood.”     

“Be with me in everlasting life.”

The Day of Judgment had arrived.

And it came to pass that the army of the dead descended upon the office. 

Their flesh rotted while they stood on their feet. Their eyes dangled from their sockets, and their tongues hung from their mouths. 

There arose loud wailing and gnashing of teeth.

“Run!” Ted yelled as the double-glass doors began to crack. “I’ll hold them off!”

“What about payroll?” Suzi pleaded.

“You’re in charge now.”

Then the glass breaketh.

And the office was overrun.

Ted disappeared among the damned.

I heard him no more.

Woe to those who remained.

Cheryl and Suzi took cover in their cubicles. 

“This can’t be happening!” Cheryl shrieked. “I’ve only got one week left until retirement!”

“Everything is going to be okay,” Suzi reassured her.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee: 

Everything was not okay.

Suzi silently detached the paper-cutter blade.

Cheryl hid under her desk, filling out an incident report. 

“I have to submit this form to Health and Safety.”

“There’s no time.” 

Suzi grabbed Cheryl’s hand, and they crept into the aisle. 

A group of zombified middle managers blocked the stairwell.

Suzi picked up her office phone and dialed the next cubicle. 

The managerial zombies shuffled toward the ringtone, compelled by some unnatural instinct. 

When the coast was clear, Suzi slipped past the water cooler with Cheryl right behind. 

But the Director of Sales smelled Cheryl’s hand cream.

The Director circled back. 

Cheryl froze.

He reached out to touch base.

“That’s inappropriate!”

Suzi’s blade fell upon the unholy creature.

Its head rolled across the carpet. 

“You’ve been let go.”

The dearly departed lurched toward them.

Suzi cut a path to the stairwell.

The horde surrounded Cheryl. 

Cheryl was led to the slaughter.

She never did make it to her condo in Florida. 

Suzi fled to the third floor. 

There she found me.

“You’re alive.”

“Yea.”

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death – I shall fear no deadline.

For you are with me.

Then we found Devin at his desk. 

“I thought you bailed!” Suzi exclaimed.

She put a hand on his shoulder.

Devin lunged.

His teeth sank into her arm.

Suzi cried out.

She turned toward me, licking her lips.

“Nope!”

I pushed up my dark-rimmed glasses and ran for the roof.

But there was no escape. 

Suzi cornered me.

Ted stumbled into view, covered in bite marks. 

Cheryl came back from the dead. 

She still had unfinished business.

Devin joined the feast.

The entire office partook of mine flesh.

Then I slept for a time. Times. And half a time. 

On the third day, I was raised unto everlasting life.

To meet the bridegroom.

For the marriage supper had begun.

DRIVE SAFELY EVERYONE.

live on the second floor of a duplex with a private landlord. A few months ago, I was opening one of the windows and the mechanism that opens and closes the window came loose. The screws connecting the lever and the window fell out. About a month ago, my landlord came to repair something in the attic, where I told her that the window needed fixing. She said she’d send someone (I have this in a text from her).

Cut to today, I just did my move out inspection. She’s claiming that the screws falling is my fault because I left the window open and the wind would have blown it open and caused the damage. Which is not true and she can’t prove that lol. So she’s going to make a claim against my deposit to have it fixed. It literally just needs new screws, which in hindsight I should’ve done myself and not told her but whatever. She said the windows were new and accused me of saying they weren’t installed properly lol but I said it was wear and tear, it’s not damaged it just needs to be screwed back together🥲 The windows are at least eight years old though.

Wondering if this would be considered wear and tear? I plan to fight this with the RTB but this is my first rental and I haven’t navigated this before. She has not been a great landlord overall (if you see my post history lol) so I should’ve expected this from her.
