New opinions courtesty of Kijiji!

I've received a few more responses from my posting on Kijiji....they are as follows:

"This is the coldest city in Canada! The most unfriendly place on the planet! The people are afraid to say hello to their own shadow! I have never felt so unwelcome anywhere on earth! People would sooner cut off their hand than extend it in friendship, assistance or compassion! The women are ugly, wear no make-up, never wear high heels or dresses, and are damn nasty to boot! The drivers are the worst in North America, and the women give the Finger more than anywhere on the Continent! The guys are nice looking, much friendlier than the women, but that doesn't say much because everyone here is cold! I wish I had never come and cannot wait to leave! Don't know how people live here! "

Wowzers! This gyt doesn't seem to have a high impression of our beautiful city! But I have to disagree about the women being ugly...maybe they just don't have to wear makeup because they are naturally oretty--and don't have to hide their ugly. Whatta dink.

On to the next one, and a nicer one too :)

"the traffic in the city is ridiculous, mels cafe on 11th has some of the best homemade food for cheap prices and the servings are huge! and i love allykatz bar and grill the food is amazing and the staff in phenomenal!"

I always love a restaurant suggestion! Especially since I loathe to even look at the kitchen let alone cook in it!

Thanks for the e-mails, and keep 'em coming!

Manic Monday

Good morning! Happy fall! The colors are so goreous in this city, its fantastic! I was gunna take my dog for a walk by the river, but thanks to the City of Saskatoon banning animals in certain areas, I have no idea where I am allowed to walk him. Guess I'll stick to the dog parks! Too bad too-I think he would appreciate River Landing!

Fall is a good thing, it means sweaters, and construction wrapping up, and no more SPIDERS! It has been so wet this year, i have a 3 foot by 4 foot patio and there are 3 dofferent species of spiders. Spiders make me gag a little bit. Nasty, disgusting little creatures. Anyways, fall is fast becoming my favorite season.

I received another reply to my Kijiji ad, it's a little bit of a rant, and I will post it later this week. And as always, if you wqnt to leave a comment feel free to do so, or send me an e-mail saskatoonconfidential@gmail.com!

An opinion I actually agree with!

Sometimes the edditorial board of the Star Phoenix gets it wrong. I mean, really really wrong. But today's editorial is something I totally agree with! I am sure by now you have heard that Mr. 24 (Keifer Sutherland)was in the province for the unveiling of his grandpa's (Tommy Douglas) statue. Well the scultpor, while not wanting to make it about her (but making it about her) was apparently a little miffed Sutherland received so much attention. So, he shouldn't be allowed to celebrate his Grandfather's legacy because...it might diminish the attention given to you?? Ugh, I refuse to even name her.

On to better things, a reply to my Kijiji ad!

" A week ago, I could have ranted and ranted and ranted about this damn city, their construction, the snobbiness of the general populations, and so on and so forth. However, I just came back from Ottawa, and let me tell you, Saskatoon is definitely an amazing city in comparison!
Maybe once I get the Ottawa junk out of my head, I could tell you what I hate. Haha. "

Now I will say Ottawa is a beautiful city, its warmer there (likely from all the hot air coming from the House of Commons), and I am not one to slag other cities (with the exception of Regina of course), but I gotta agree with the author that Saskatoon is far superior.

Gag...I agreed with 2 people today!

This Girl Needs a BLOG

Certain things happen to me. People must sense that I am a listener or something. I happened to 'like' a certain post on someone's Facebook status....I log in a few hours later and THIS is waiting for me!!!

Hi XXXXXX

I don't know you and you don't know me, however, you "liked" my comment on JXXXXXX IXXXXX's status, and I just wanted to THANK YOU for that !

Not trying to commit a crime, but needed to point out the truth. Some parents these days are CRAZED FREAKS, that make me crazy ! LOL.

I have three children under aged 6, and have had little sickness, or illness in the last few years...however when my son started ECS last year, that all changed. NO PEANUT BUTTER, please INCLUDE HAND SANITIZER IN THE BACK PACK, NO Birthday Cupcakes, or Cakes...Etc....what the heck has happened to our society??

When I was a kid, Mom kicked us outta the house at 7 am Saturday morning, and didn't expect us home til 2 in the afternoon, when we GULPED down our lunch, and couldn't wait until we could get back to our friends. Nowadays we have to escort our kids to the toilet, just 2 feet away from us, IN OUR OWN HOMES, for fear of someone calling Social Services, that we are "BAD PARENTS"...no wonder so many kids have autism, ADHD, and other issues.....

AGAIN, Just my two cents. I am a stay at home mom, whom loves my kids more than life itself, but am not going to keep them in little bubbles, away from life, sickness, experience, hurt, happiness, or love !

Look forward to your reply ! MXXX KXXXX"

WHAT the HELL! I didn't reply, what am I supposed to say to that! "Hey, you must have missed that day in class teaching about stranger danger"

I think she needs a blog.

Your replies!

I have been getting some steady replies for my Kijiji ad, much thanks to everyone!!

In the interest of anonymity I am going to leave out the e-mail addresses of any responses I get!


"From: *****@hotmail.com
what bugs me the most in this city?...The drama people have to bring upon others and act like children lol...What i love about this city??...Id have to say the river maybe?...I guess for hot spots you could say that new bar tequila!..."

Now, we'll call this person "Skinny Lover". I'm not too sure what SL means by people bringing drama to other people, okay yes I do. But I don't think that is geographically unique, but I also hate that! I'm lying, I love other people's drama. Hence this blog. This is also why I like ALL of the Real Housewives series, even those nasty women from New Jersey. But I digress...

As for loving the River, yes! Gorgeous! And Tequila? Haven't been....any thoughts? Is that the old Rileys? Rileys smelled like dirty feet, I sure hope Tequila's took care of that!

Thanks for your response Skinny Lover! And I'll keep posting some responses as they come in!

RAIN!

Ugh, anyone else tired of this rain??? Been MIA lately, RL and all.

My inbox has been very quiet lately, no one wants to share their dirt with me I guess. So until the reviews and rants and raves roll in, you're stuck with my opinions!

I heardthat the riverboat tours can't even go under certain parts of the Traffic Bridge due to worry over parts falling! Holy moly, thank God nothing happened to the people who were driving over it while it should have been condemned.

Also, gotta say: Cosmo Industries needs to stop belly aching about this proposed curbside recycling plan. For Christ's sakes there is enough recycling to go around!!! Saskatoon is ridiculously behind the times...stone aged, when it comes to recycling. -40 and those stupid bins (WHICH by the way don't even facilitate all aspects of recycling) do not mix. More people would recycle if it was as easy as putting it on the curb. I know, I know, there are curbside programs. BUT they are costly, and who really thinks to call a recycling depot, other than those of us who recycle anyways. Sheesh. AND YES YES YES there should be bins in apartment buildings!

Thats my rant for today.

Try an keep dry :)
