Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I had a fight with my potty-mouthed wife when she wouldn't listen to what I wanted from the store — my damn cigarettes. She was in a hurry and cursed me while she when out the door. Then I hear she got mad with someone in front of her holding up the line buying lottery tickets. So she called this woman in front of her a few choice names behind her back. My wife can keep her lips together and mutter swear words like a ventriloquist. You wonder where they are coming from at first, until you get to know her.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I had a fight with my potty-mouthed wife when she wouldn’t listen to what I wanted from the store — my damn cigarettes. She was in a hurry and cursed me while she when out the door. Then I hear she got mad with someone in front of her holding up the line buying lottery tickets. So she called this woman in front of her a few choice names behind her back. My wife can keep her lips together and mutter swear words like a ventriloquist. You wonder where they are coming from at first, until you get to know her.

The woman who got cursed, called for the manager, pointed at my wife and told him what she had said. The person behind my wife couldn’t hear the curse words because my wife had muttered them, so she got away with it. She came home without my cigarettes and bragged about what she did. Then, in one of those flashes you have in a marriage, I thought, “I hate you. You are a pushy manipulative lying witch. You are a piece of stinking garbage. Why did I ever marry you?” What should I do?

— Hate her So Bad Sometimes, St. James

 

Dear Hate Her so Bad Sometimes: Don’t be hasty. Just cool off. You actually sound like a perfect match. You speak the same language: Sailor’s English. You just don’t like it when both of you are in a bad mood. You are actually bragging and complaining about her at the same time. You think her ventriloquism of dirty words is clever and you like her spicy talk when you’re not mad at each other. You married her and loved her above all others. You can’t tell me she just learned to swear like this recently!

Remember how much hate you felt for your brothers or sisters when you were young and really mad at them? And how much disgust you felt looking at their “ugly faces?” It’s the same thing with spouses. Sometimes they totally detest each other for a few hours. It’s OK to hate someone you love for a short amount of time if it doesn’t happen too often — it’s just part of the deal.

9 to 5:

Tory McNally 8 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

I watched the 1980 comedy 9 to 5 for the first time this week.

I know: I’m an HR consultant. I’ve been doing this work for 13 years, I write about workplaces for a living, and somehow I had never actually watched the movie that gave us one of the most recognizable workplace songs of all time.

I knew the premise, of course. I knew American music icon Dolly Parton was in it. I knew there was a terrible boss and three women who eventually decided they had enough.

I expected a funny, somewhat dated movie about three women getting revenge on an awful boss. What I didn’t expect was to spend the next two hours thinking about how much has changed in the workplace since 1980 — and how much really hasn’t.

The port of Churchill — but done right

Editorial 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The seagoing grain carrier wasn’t christened with a champagne bottle. There was no confetti or streamers. Nevertheless, the Aug. 31 event marking the first shipment of grain to be loaded at the Port of Churchill since 2020 was celebrated like the launch of a brand new vessel.

The presence of the federal minister of northern and arctic affairs, provincial cabinet ministers and leaders and elders from several northern First Nations signalled that the fast-tracked process of refurbishing and buffing up Manitoba’s deep-water seaport gem is gaining momentum.

For OneNorth, the partnership of 29 First Nations and 12 northern communities which owns the Port of Churchill and the Hudson Bay Railway (both operated by the Arctic Gateway Group) the event heralded a new beginning. It’s been eight years since OneNorth purchased the port and railroad, and six years since grain was moved by rail through Manitoba and then by ship to European markets. Two more grain shipments, plus shipments of potash and critical minerals, will continue through the fall.

When Prime Minister Mark Carney solicited the premiers to suggest “nation-building” projects following his election in 2025, Premier Wab Kinew pitched a Manitoba trade corridor that would move wheat, critical minerals, potash and energy (oil or liquid natural gas) through the Port of Churchill.

Don’t let bitterness isolate and dispirit you

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I just got out of a relationship a few months ago, and I’m still so hurt that life seems unreal.

The woman I thought I was going to marry cheated on me with an old boyfriend — a real jerk, but very good-looking. I’m still feeling totally crushed.

I worry I won’t be able to trust any woman now. I know that sounds unfair, but I’ve been cheated on twice before, in just five years! I realize it might just be the type of person I’m attracted to — a bit on the wild side — but my most-recent girlfriend wasn’t like that and seemed to have her life together and knew what she wanted. But she was also secretly playing around on me — Mr. Clueless.

I can feel resentment building inside me toward all women. I really don’t want to become one of those bitter guys who ends up single for the rest of his life because they don’t trust anyone. But how do I get over this? Is it even possible or am I going to be a loser who is forever cheated on?

A life's story: ‘Ivor the Driver’ found his calling in the ranching life

Aaron Epp 6 minute read 3:00 AM CDT

Ivor Asham’s family couldn’t have picked a better image to accompany his obituary. There he is, riding Flash, his beloved brown and white quarter horse, a black cowboy hat on his head and a drink in his hand.

Asham owned and operated Birds Hill Park Ranch for nearly 35 years, where he shared his lifelong passion for horses with thousands of visitors. He moved hay, harnessed horses and drove the wagons, introducing himself as “Ivor the Driver.”

Over the years, Asham built a reputation as the quintessential cowboy.

There’s a restaurant at the ranch filled with memorabilia that he collected over the years. Calgary Stampede posters, cowboy boot-shaped shot glasses, a child’s rocking horse, a wagon wheel and numerous photos of legendary actor John Wayne are just some of the items that line the walls.
