How will he help the concerns of his community? Can he administer injections - is he a trained needle jabber? Can he oversee vaccination efforts if hes blotto?

Its not a connection thats there, I think you are projecting onto it. Not saying he's a victim or anything like that, I just don't buy the idea that he and other movie people are automatically deviants because of their making non cutsey-poo movies. The Director of Angel Heart - a very dark and disturbing movie - also directed Bugsy Malone, a juvenile musical.

Rosemary's Baby was written by Ira Levin (and a rollicking good read, too!) before the movie was made, so I don't think Polanski was enacting out anything as he followed the book pretty closely thats all. In China town, he slits Jack Nicholson's nose, which is in the script and not something Polanski was hot and bothered to do in real life. Or is that something else about him that hasn't gone reported? Just because Anthony Hopkins played a cannibal doesn't mean he goes around eating peoples livers. I think he should be a man about it and eat the two years jail time he'd get then its over.

I'm thinking that smoke detectors wont clear the owner of responsibility if the renovations were not done to code.

In todays news comes the information that the property may have had unapproved renovations since its last check. If so, does this factor into the fire? Does the owner/operator than run the risk of criminal charges? Just askin.....

Is Winnipeg, Manitoba really that friendly? Posted: 9/27/2009 5:48:19 PM
Its easy for the media to focus on bad news as people respond to it. What bothers me is the criminal support mentality I see on display now - people wearing shirts saying 'Proud to be a known associate', or 'Stop snitching'. Like keeping quiet about criminal acts is somehow a good thing.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet Posted: 9/15/2009 6:31:55 PM
Most guys would have to google to find out what meanings single or multiple roses mean. Every year for her birthday I sent her orange roses....because they are her favorite. I don't care what the guide book says they mean. A single rose wouldn't freak me out - unless it came in a moving van with all her stuff.

Do older men fear dating a woman with chilren? Posted: 9/9/2009 5:59:17 PM
When you fall in love all bets are off. I would like to think I could deal with it. But each situation is different enough that what was manageable in one relationship wont fly in another. That being said, I would resent constantly being put aside for the kids ALL the time - if you aren't ready to have a partner why are you dating?

"one of the great joys in life is saying no." Tom Lehrer Try zipping your wallet shut and stick to it - no matter what she (or you!) perceives as a need. What happens when she is fully in to school and (as every student I ever met can attest to) she runs out of money on a regular basis?

when is it racism ? Posted: 9/4/2009 9:46:46 PM
In the mid 70's, when I was in the Camerons, we wore a traditional highland regimental uniform. We sweated to death in the summer and froze to death in winter. Itched like hell and reeked of perspiration. Was grateful to join the pipe band to get in to the snazzy pipers full dress uniform. Which itched like hell, we sweated in summer, froze in winter. Today, the uniform is substantially different in material and appearance. No one seems to mind. And the Mountie uniform has also changed and moved with the times for both design, material and image. I see nothing wrong with a turbaned Mountie. Back in the 80s, there was a kerfluffle over Sikhs wearing their kirpans into courtrooms. The belief being that the thing was a knife and therefor a weapon. They got to wear them. I, as a Scot, wearing a kilt and full highland regalia, could not enjoy the same right in regards to my Skien Dubh, as it is a knife tucked in to the top of a sock. Even though it is every Scot's god given right to wear it. Discrimination? You bet!

Greyhound cancelling service Posted: 9/4/2009 9:29:01 PM
Actually, the airport spent the 7 million to build the bus depot and are leasing it to the hound. Didn't cost them a penny. The facility is shared by U.S. based carrier Jefferson Bus lines, who operate from Winnipeg south to Kansas and other points. My quoted cost for air fair to Minneapolis was $800.00. Went by Jefferson bus for $127,89. One possible reason for the hound to relocate to the airport is the air shipped packages that they can pick up and then ship to smaller towns on the routes and create income. Be interesting to see how much of the colourful locals of downtown that used to hang out at the bus depot make the effort to relocate to the airport.

Do people do wings anymore?? Posted: 8/20/2009 4:55:25 PM
We regularly went to Silverados for wings on Friday nights, but the lure of the 'wood proved too popular. If you want why not start a party thread to renew the wing nights?

Folkorama 2009 Posted: 8/11/2009 9:20:37 PM
Just finished a volunteer shift at the El Salvador pavilion. The show costumes are a riot of colours and the dancing was pretty cool. The Glenwood (on Overton) is a new location for them, it is bigger than they have had before so there is plenty of room. There is a single food line which moves pretty quickly, and the bar is split to provide soft drink service separately which helps move things along. The cultural display is in a separate room. I really wanted buy one of those cool El Salvador hats, but they are out of them already.

Lancaster Airplane Landing In Winnipeg Posted: 8/4/2009 7:04:59 PM
This wonderful airplane leaves Wednesday around noon after a record breaking attendance for the museum. If you are interested in watching the take off, I would recommend using the viewing deck at the actual airport and not the one at the museum as it isn't up to the job. Hopefully, the museum will bring back the flying fortress 'Sentimental Journey' for the next big event.

Why do people( I know your out there) go out with someone your NOT remotely attracted to?? Posted: 7/26/2009 1:50:04 PM
A lot of why not try this one out and see 'experiments'? Some people have the love at first sight thing fail on them, too. So maybe scaling back might help some, or being more selective could help others. Sort of like being a bead on an abacus, zipping back and forth, changing due to outside factors.

Very few women have managed that short hair look for my taste ( and its a subjective thing, so the next guy might just howl at the moon over a close cropped woman), I like it getting at least to the neck line if not farther.

Didn't Slim Whitman sell more than that? And you are right, allegations are not proof. The Scottish verdict of Not Proven boils down to "we know you did it, we damn well know you did it. But the legal evidence isn't enough to actually convict you, so this is as far as we can go you lucky so and so." You walk out of court Scot free, then the town shuns you....

I like some of his songs, and Farrah was good to watch in Logan's Run (a movie that hasn't aged well). As for the allegations, the Scottish verdict of Not Proven seems apt. Be interesting to see if they make the memorial segment of the next academy awards show.

Lancaster Airplane Landing In Winnipeg Posted: 6/26/2009 7:40:33 PM
There is a third Lancaster that is in taxiing status and might possibly make the upgrade to full flight status soon. A fourth is being re-skinned and awaiting test engine results for taxiing status. Last summer I was able to enjoy a flight in a restored B-17 (of which Canada had four), and can attest to the exhillerating sound of the four engine bomber when taking off. Does anyone know if there is a static display Lancaster in Manitoba? We should have at least that for honoring our own Andrew Mynarski. Will make sure I can be there for this impressive bomber that was manned by so many Prairie men. Now I'm going to have to watch my dvd of the Dam Busters again!

Initially the thumbnail photo catches my attention, and if I call up the profile I read the whole thing....just to make sure. I have been tempted a couple of times to gloss over some of the deal breakers the profiles can list, but mostly I just sort of sigh to myself and keep looking if I am not what is preferred. Sigh.

manitoba nurses named if found abusing drugs and alcohol on duty Posted: 5/10/2009 10:58:57 AM
No point n naming them, they won't have access anymore so they can't supply you with anything. Seriously, I have had several co-workers let go for drinking, I agree its rough, but safety and responsibility go hand in hand. It should be across all work levels, if the clerk selling me a pair of socks is full as a boot then out the door he goes. The surgeon who is about to remove my appendix damn well better be sober.
