Pushy foot games could be fun

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I woke up sideways at the bottom of the bed again! My athletic young wife pushes with her strong legs and feet in such a way that, little by little, I get turned around and shoved down to the bottom of the bed. She used to do this with her huge dog, and now she’s transferred her talent into shoving me.

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I woke up sideways at the bottom of the bed again! My athletic young wife pushes with her strong legs and feet in such a way that, little by little, I get turned around and shoved down to the bottom of the bed. She used to do this with her huge dog, and now she’s transferred her talent into shoving me.

She has made some kind of crazy transition from boyfriend/girlfriend romance to husband/wife and now thinks she is the queen in our family bed.

But she didn’t marry me because I’m weak, like the wuss she left. I don’t carry the chamber pot for my queen, and I’m not the dog at her feet.

Last night, I used my feet to push her to the end of the bed and then invited the dog to get up in her place, with his head on her pillow. The queen was not amused.

Now where do we go from here?— New Marriage Games, Fort Garry

Dear Games: She may have gotten the point. If not, get right into it and start lightening up these pranks so it really does become a joke. Turn the bed upside down so the pillows are all at the bottom with the lamps and side tables, and see if she thinks that’s funny.

You could also buy a few large stuffed animals to stick in the bed. It might be a hoot for her to wake up looking into the eyes of a big tiger, a black bear or even the Frog Prince.

This needs to become silly enough that you laugh about the fun times in your marriage.

Later, you can give the stuffed toy companions to your kids and grandkids to play with, continuing the family joke.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I met a cute 30ish-year-old man at the jazz festival and we kept running into each other because we like the same music. I was really getting turned on to him, and we started sitting together and surreptitiously holding hands and touching faces. One lingering kiss happened in an alley that night.

Then he suddenly disappeared — and reappeared two days later with a woman and two kids, wearing a wedding ring. He never mentioned he had a wife and family.

That night, I walked up close to him, tears in my eyes, and he mouthed “sorry.” I just walked away, but I really wanted to slap his face. What should I have done?— Married Guy Hurt Me, Downtown

Dear Hurt: You did the right thing. It was not your fault, but it was certainly not the fault of his wife and kids, and they didn’t need to bear that pain.

Good on you for preventing that by walking away.

Next time, ask the uncomfortable questions before seriously flirting, like “Are you married or seeing somebody exclusively?” Most guys who cheat rely on the woman not to ask anything.

Bombers play most complete game of season to dump powerhouse Alouettes

Taylor Allen 5 minute read Friday, Aug. 28, 2026

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers had to play four of their best quarters of football to even stand a chance.

There was no denying it, because with the powerhouse Montreal Alouettes in town, everyone knew it was going to take that — and then some — to slay the CFL’s top team.

Recent weeks suggested the Bombers weren’t capable of such a performance, but they dug deep at the perfect time and silenced a never-ending list of doubters to prevail 44-28 on Friday night at Princess Auto Stadium.

Where the heck have these Bombers been all year?

Winnipeg man among those missing in Nepal flash flood

Free Press staff 2 minute read Yesterday at 10:06 AM CDT

A Winnipeg man on a pilgrimage in Nepal is among nearly 2,000 people missing after a deadly flash flood devastated a popular tourist region along the Himalayan border earlier this week.

Mohit Kaushik, 49, was travelling with a tour group taking part in the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, a sacred, days-long pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in neighbouring Tibet, according to social media posts.

“Our friend and neighbour, Mohit Kaushik, a resident of Winnipeg, Canada, has been out of contact since yesterday while travelling from Timure during his pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar,” Swikriti Pokhrel wrote in a social media post. “If you have seen him or find his name on any hospital list, please let us know. Thank you.”

Kaushik has not been heard from since Wednesday, when a glacier collapse in the nearby Himalayas triggered catastrophic flooding and landslides, sending a torrent of ice, rock and debris roughly 100 kilometres downstream.

Council candidates call out vandalism after campaign signs defaced in Waverley West

Scott Billeck 4 minute read Updated: 11:34 AM CDT

A council candidate in Waverley West said she will not be intimidated after 16 of her campaign signs were vandalized this week — some with apparent gang symbols.

Nafiya Naso is the second candidate in the ward whose signs were defaced this month. Jasmine Brar, who is also running for the council seat, had some of her signs broken on Friday along Kenaston Boulevard and signs near Naso’s that were also defaced on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Eaglewood Park in the nearby Prairie Pointe neighbourhood was also vandalized with graffiti that included homophobic slurs, anti-India messages and repeated references to “3LK” — a symbol Naso believes is associated with a gang.

Naso’s signs, located along Waverley Street near Tim Sale Drive and across from École South Pointe School in southwest Winnipeg, were spray-painted with apparent gang signs, crude drawings and other messages, including “loser” and “Ur not winning” written across her name and photograph.

Winnipeg police ID deceased man, notify family

Free Press staff 2 minute read 11:26 AM CDT

Winnipeg police have been able to notify next-of-kin about the death of a man found unresponsive on a city street in July.

The man was identified after police asked for the public’s help and issued a composite sketch and description of the unknown man on Friday.

On Sunday, police said his family has been notified and thanked the public. Additional details about the man were not released in order to respect the family’s privacy, police said.

The man died in hospital after being found unresponsive July 28 at the corner of Main Street and James Avenue in Winnipeg, and investigators’ previous efforts to identify him were unsuccessful.

Manitoba Hydro’s strategy: Deny, deny, deny

Tim Sale 4 minute read Friday, Aug. 28, 2026

Here’s a good story…

A man walks into your office and says, “Have I got a deal for you! I want $3 billion (plus perhaps a bit more) to build you something that you might use three or even four times a year, for maybe 30-60 hours each time. Sign here.”

You might respond… “and I’ve got a lovely bridge for sale…”

That is exactly what Manitoba Hydro wants — $3 billion or more, plus the fossil fuel bonus for peak load events that happen a few times each year. They assure us that the gas turbines will only be used very occasionally. At the same time, they tell us that we are headed for a crisis of energy supply by 2030.
