Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My new online girlfriend is in a hurry to meet in person and, as she so frankly puts it, “get it on.” I am dragging my feet. (I should tell you I am also a woman.)

I find her very attractive, and part of that attraction is her wild nature. That would have been really great a year ago — and I would have been all over the opportunity to get it on with her right away, but now I’m afraid of getting sick.

Am I being a big baby, as she hinted last night? She said I was “distrusting” her. I guess I am. But what else can you do these days? — Probably Lost My Chance, Fort Garry

Dear Probably: Perhaps this lady was a little miffed at not being trusted, but trusting someone brand new to kiss and touch, and swap bodily fluids with is not a bright move right now. There just isn’t any vaccination to protect either of you against the coronavirus.

For now, just live on phone chats, fantasizing and perhaps phone sex — and stay safe! You may not have lost your opportunity with this wild thing for good, but it may be delayed.

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m a funny guy and my girlfriend is a hoot who can give as good as she gets in the Witty Department. But lately, there’s been a critical edge to her little shots and I’m starting to feel the slings and arrows.

Lately, she’s been making cracks about my bubble butt. It is muscled and very round for a guy. So, what? “Better than having a flabby one!” I said last night, and then she felt hurt.

I don’t want to get all heavy with her and I sure don’t want to put a damper on the kibitzing which she and I have enjoyed until now; it’s been a special part of our relationship.

What do you suggest? — Bubble Butt, St. James

Dear Bubble Butt: As in any competitive sport, you have to create some rules to prevent lows blows and dirty play. That means you two jokers are going to have to sit down and talk about what areas to leave alone.

You’re going to have to talk about what things are sacred or sensitive for each of you. That talk could actually further your intimacy as a couple and end up being a really good thing!

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’ve really gained weight in the last eight months of vegging out at home, and my doctor said my blood-sugar numbers are up. So now, on top of enduring the pandemic, I have to cut out the snacks I love and take more medication.

I am fed up with everything I’m being denied, and by other people who don’t have to watch their diet like do. How much more crap are we going to have to go through before this is over?

I’m sick of not seeing my friends and being able to go to my gym with my friends. I’m tired of working from home. I am just plain depressed by fall and winter coming. Help! — Fed Up To Here! Brandon

Dear Fed Up: I think you should look out the window every day and be glad to see daylight! Maybe it’s time to find ways to help other people instead of feeling sorry for yourself.

A great antidote for self-pity is helping out those less fortunate, and there are all kinds of volunteer organizations that could certainly do with your help.

Premier presses Bell Canada about ‘unacceptable’ 911 outages

Carol Sanders 5 minute read 7:19 PM CDT

Premier Wab Kinew said the province is doing all it can to ensure that Manitobans aren’t hit with another 911 service outage — including asking the head of Bell Canada to help.

“At the end of the day, when you dial 911, we need to get emergency services to you as quickly as possible,” Kinew said.

On July 22, an hours-long outage prevented nearly 90 calls to 911 from being routed to the public safety answering point in Brandon. Backup systems that reroute 911 calls when an outage occurs also experienced “issues” after a third party cut the cable during construction near Winnipeg, Bell Canada said earlier.

At the time, Kinew called the 911 outage “unacceptable,” and told reporters that Prime Minister Mark Carney assured him he would raise the matter with telecom executives.

Rural Manitoba homeowner charged with shooting at accused thieves

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read Yesterday at 5:51 PM CDT

A homeowner in southern Manitoba has been charged after he fired shots at a group of people accused of stealing from his property, police say.

Officers were sent to the Rural Municipality of Dufferin Saturday after a report of a theft in progress. RCMP said four people went to the property, located about 95 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg, and returned later the same day driving two vehicles stolen from Watrous, Sask.

The owner of the property, a 66-year-old man, saw the suspects on a motion-activated camera and saw someone transferring fuel from a portable container into one of the stolen vehicles. The man confronted the group and fired shots towards the vehicles, police said.

Three people stayed at the scene until officers arrived and took them into custody, RCMP said. Various items believed to have been stolen from the property were found in the back of a truck. A fourth suspect fled in the other vehicle.

Carney touts ‘substantial progress’ after Trump delays tariffs for three days

Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: 6:27 AM CDT

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump announced late Tuesday a last-minute deal to delay new tariffs from slamming an array of Canadian products for three days.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said in response there’s still important work to do.

"Over the last number of weeks, Canada has engaged in intensive discussions with the United States to address outstanding trade issues and deliver greater certainty and real benefits for Canadian businesses, workers, farmers and families," Carney said in a statement.

He said "substantial progress" has been made and Canada is focused on "building a stronger, more independent and more competitive economy at home."

Two men in electric ankle bracelets who were being monitored by justice officials have been accused in a two-month spree of commercial break-ins, vehicle thefts and other property crimes.

City police have charged one of the suspects and are searching for the second.

About $140,000 worth of property, including trailers, lawn equipment, motorcycles and bicycles, was reported stolen in 13 incidents in Winnipeg and the Rural Municipality of Headingley between April 20 and June 28, the Winnipeg Police Service said.

Both suspects were wearing electronic monitoring bracelets during that time.

Manitoba’s liquor regulator has accused an Exchange District nightclub of exceeding its occupant capacity limit and hindering the work of inspectors.

Diablo, located at Main Street and Bannatyne Avenue, is scheduled to appeal two compliance orders, issued by the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba, at a Sept. 8 hearing.

An LGCA spokesperson said the compliance orders are part of an ongoing investigation.

The spokesperson said one of the orders was issued after the licensed club was over capacity April 26.
