Parking lot session causes tingling sensation

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I was Christmas shopping and ran into an old boyfriend at a bookstore in St. Vital. He asked if I wanted to go for coffee nearby, so I said “Why not?” I couldn’t think of one thing except how gorgeous he looked. Coffee stretched into a bite to eat in the food court and ended up in the dark parking lot in his car necking like teenagers. We’re both married to other people and have children. Shame on us both!

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I was Christmas shopping and ran into an old boyfriend at a bookstore in St. Vital. He asked if I wanted to go for coffee nearby, so I said “Why not?” I couldn’t think of one thing except how gorgeous he looked. Coffee stretched into a bite to eat in the food court and ended up in the dark parking lot in his car necking like teenagers. We’re both married to other people and have children. Shame on us both!

As I carry on putting Christmas together, I feel guiltier and guiltier. What kind of family-oriented woman is daydreaming about necking in the car when she’s baking for the family Christmas?

My husband would be hurt and horrified if he found out, yet I’m not wishing that it hadn’t happened. I feel like a new woman in some ways. My whole body tingles at the memory. In fact, it is all I can do not to call this handsome man and initiate another “coffee.”

Although I will never do it again, I can still taste his kiss on my lips, and the last few nights I drove by his house. I stopped once and saw a couple in the living room. My stomach felt sick.

Dear Rotten Wife: I presume he hasn’t called you since. If he were really into cheating with you or anybody, and was practised at it, there would have been some contact very soon after.

What should you do? Here’s some options: 1. You can confess all to your husband, ruin Christmas and perhaps the whole marriage and family. 2. You can write this off as a moment, carry the guilt with you and hope it fades, but you must keep your nose clean from now on for the guilt to abate and you must stop the drive-bys. That’s creepy behaviour. Haul yourself up by the snowy bootstraps, girlfriend! Surely, you can rise above stalking a man.

Now, here’s a constructive idea: pour some of that regenerated sexual excitement you feel in your body back into your sexual relationship with your husband. It’s takes two to tingle, and now your body is sparkling again, make use of that energy.

Mayoral hopefuls trade accusations

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Yesterday at 7:51 PM CDT

Two mayoral hopefuls traded accusations about meddling in each other’s campaigns as the incumbent rallied supporters for his re-election bid on the eve of advanced polls opening across Winnipeg.

A social media post made by Mike Vogiatzakis, one of 12 nominees in the Oct. 28 race for the top job at city hall, caught the attention of rivals Sunday.

The funeral director took to Facebook midday to criticize Kevin Klein — a competitor he said he thought of “as a friend” until the former Tory cabinet minister made a U-turn after pledging to back the Vogiatzakis campaign.

“Good speaker? Yes. Good looking guy? Sure. Someone I trust now? Absolutely not,” he wrote in a lengthy post.

Morning-show veteran swaps microphone for macchiatos at new Corydon café

Good news if you were used to having your morning coffee with Terri Gale, who earlier this summer signed off from CTV Your Morning, after 15 years on the job.

Gale, the three-hour program’s longtime weather expert, and her husband Rob Gale, the ex-head soccer coach of Valour FC and co-founder of the Northern Super League’s new Winnipeg franchise, are the owners of Golden Hour Café and Bar at 775 Corydon Ave.

Gale (formerly Apostle) nods when she is asked who would know more about caffeinated beverages than a person who, for the last decade and a half, set her alarm to go off in the wee small hours.

“I do love coffee and take mine black. Except because I hate burning my tongue — not a good thing when you speak for a living — I got into the habit of throwing a couple of ice cubes in my cup, to be on the safe side,” Gale says, seated on the second level of their attractive, 2,100-square-foot premises, which officially opened in mid-September.

Winnipeggers see dysfunction on city streets and assume it is a failure by the city; in fact, this failure is more fairly assigned to the senior levels of government.

Record participation, funds raised in 2026 breast cancer awareness race

It’s become a tradition for the West End Legends to gather, get dressed up in hot pink and gab about their late girlfriend on the first Sunday of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“Mary was a beauty, a brain, an athlete and a friend,” said Linda Opalko, a 67-year-old member of the fundraising team founded in honour of Mary Stawychny.

Stawychny’s last breath was taken the same day the group — made up of friends the career teacher maintained since she grew up on Ingersoll Street more than 50 years ago — got together for the 2022 CIBC Run for the Cure.

“We were walking as she was leaving us four years ago,” Opalko said as she and fellow fundraisers strolled down Wellington Crescent on Sunday morning.
