Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am deeply in lust with my class instructor. I am almost 20. I am also a doodler, and take care of my lustful thoughts by drawing pictures of him in tiny outfits accenting his wide shoulders and large pecs. I know he's a weightlifter. Last Friday, I accidentally left my sketch pad behind and he found it. I always sit in the third row. He would have known it was mine right away.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am deeply in lust with my class instructor. I am almost 20. I am also a doodler, and take care of my lustful thoughts by drawing pictures of him in tiny outfits accenting his wide shoulders and large pecs. I know he’s a weightlifter. Last Friday, I accidentally left my sketch pad behind and he found it. I always sit in the third row. He would have known it was mine right away.

He returned it to me silently today after having it for the weekend. I didn’t know what to say. I just took it back, put it in my backpack and I’ve been blushing ever since. Why didn’t he just say something and get it over with?

— So Embarrassed, Downtown

 

Dear So Embarrassed: He handed it back in silence because it was more effective that way, and wouldn’t get him into any trouble, either. Some students have been known to twist words around. Since he’s a smart guy, he would have thought it out over the weekend.

Keeping it longer would have looked like he was enjoying it. Saying something would have given you a quote for your friends to hear. He did the intelligent thing.

Now, move further back from the third row so the poor man can feel comfortable teaching, and start taking notes so you pass the class. Leave the incriminating notebook at home from now on.

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m a man who has found a new hairdresser who does head massages. I absolutely love it to the point where I have been back every second week, not really needing a trim, and certainly not a full haircut. Should I admit to her that’s what I really want? I know women who go in for a wash-and-blow, but I don’t think men generally do. I just want a wash-and-head massage because it’s so relaxing. Does that sound creepy?

— Crazy About Head Massages, St. Vital

 

Dear Crazy About Head Massages: Why not ask? Perhaps the hairdresser is asked for this combo by different people and is fine with it. Describe that you find it relaxing, and ask her if it’s OK to come in specifically for that treatment. Always ask about things politely and you’ll be surprised how many yes answers you get in life.

Woman died while getting wisdom teeth out; case raises questions about transparency of dental association

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read Friday, Sep. 4, 2026

The parents of a 23-year-old southwestern Manitoba woman who died after receiving a local anesthetic during a wisdom tooth extraction say they are in the dark about the investigation into their daughter’s death.

Dulaney and Victoria Blatz say the Manitoba Dental Association has been unwilling to give them information about the probe into their daughter’s death, saying the self-governing regulatory body must be more transparent with the public.

“We have pushed through various channels trying to get information, but it’s nothing but stalling and sidelining,” Victoria said Friday. “This has crashed our world to pieces and we just want answers.”

Virginia Blatz went to Boundary Trails Dental Centre in Morden on Nov. 27, 2024, to have her wisdom teeth removed, but never returned home.

US tourism groups want to win Canadian visitors back. A testy trade war isn’t helping

Rio Yamat, The Associated Press 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:03 PM CDT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Appeals from American tourism organizations seemed to be everywhere Josh Loewen looked over the last year. Billboards and banners proclaimed a state or city's love for Canada. Online and social media ads offered special deals for travelers from north of the border.

As a Vancouver resident and marketing executive himself, Loewen said he understands the conciliatory overtures. The number of Canadians traveling to the United States plunged after President Donald Trump returned to office with remarks about making Canada the 51st state. An acrimonious trade war between the two countries now is threatening to reinforce the informal boycott just as it appeared to be easing slightly.

"It’s such a big ask right now,” Loewen, 45, said of the U.S. tourism industry's attempts to woo Canadians like him back before a new president occupies the White House. “It’s just a wasted effort.”

Relations between the U.S. and Canadian governments have deteriorated sharply since their trade negotiations collapsed last month. Trump imposed import taxes of up to 50% on a range of Canadian products. Canada’s government responded in kind. Trump ordered the U.S. government to change the name of border-spanning Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed insults from members of Trump's Cabinet as childish and undignified.

Education student designs lesson plans to take a bite out of food marketing

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read 5:22 PM CDT

Instead of apples, Emma Caronte is handing out lesson plans on local food history to Manitoba teachers this back-to-school season.

The undergraduate researcher spent her summer break creating a social studies unit that investigates food guide evolution, marketing tactics and how honey dill sauce became a pantry staple on the Prairies.

“I want students to develop a greater interest in food and what outside influences affect their choices and what we consider ‘healthy,’” said Caronte, a final-year education student at the University of Manitoba.

She is advertising her 112-page project as a user-friendly resource for classroom teachers and “a fun sub plan” targeted at Grade 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Parts of River Heights hammered by storm

Parts of River Heights hammered by storm

Melissa Martin 4 minute read 5:54 PM CDT

A powerful storm cut a swath of destruction through River Heights on Sunday, leaving much of the area without power.

Nobody was hurt in the storm.

By the time it subsided, parts of the quiet neighbourhood, especially Borebank and Lindsay streets between Grant and Taylor, had been ravaged: power lines downed, Manitoba Hydro poles toppled, trees splintered and crashed down on vehicles and homes.

In one case, a vehicle was flipped into a yard and sat under a partially downed tree. Shingles were stripped from roofs. Some residents described looking out during the storm and seeing power lines ablaze and the blue glow of electricity arcing over their backyards.

Bombers close but not good enough

Bombers close but not good enough

Ken Wiebe 8 minute read 5:15 PM CDT

REGINA — The stage was set for the type of season-altering moment that can lift a franchise in a way that is tough to fully quantify, yet easy to identify.

A six-play, 66-yard drive during the final 39 seconds of regulation time was capped by Zach Collaros finding Dorian Singer in the corner of the end zone for an eight-yard touchdown strike with no time left on the clock, momentarily silencing the largest crowd to witness a football game inside Mosaic Stadium on Sunday night in the 61st edition of the Labour Day Classic.

But the converted major had only helped the Winnipeg Blue Bombers tie the contest to force overtime.

Eight plays and a penalty for a time-clock violation later, the Blue Bombers were left to lament what might have been in what became a 32-26 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
