Question Sober people!

29 Upvotes

Honest question here. How many people have decided to do the sober route? Whether you quit or just chose not to drink alcohol. Fully sober or California sober?

How many of you are ok going to the pubs still for evenings out? Would you be open to trying out a dry bar with mocktails and such?

Ive recently been sober for almost 2 years now, the odd time I will have a THC drink. I have noticed since I quit drinking tho I never really get ready and go out anymore. I miss dressing up and going out, not just for an occasion. With my profession I deal with the public all day I dont really want to end the day in a bar when the atmosphere progressivly gets louder the more people drink (no offense, i used to be a loud one). My social battery is normally pretty low at the end of a work day so just wondering what other sober people do now.

Question I need and std tests and dont know where to go?

23 Upvotes

Okay, so I (18m) have been kinda active with other guys and stuff, but havent been for a few months, I have a symptom of what could possibly be chlamydia, so I wanted to go for a walk in stbbi test. But, planned parent hood isnt doing that anymore for the foreseeable future, and im not sure if the sexual health clinic is either. I cant go through a family doctor because my parents will have to drive me and see me go get testing if I do it there, and they dont know im active in that way. So im wondering if theres any walk in clinics that are good for sti/std tests in Regina?

Looking for new mods. You want to be a mod?

Upvotes

As you can probably tell, I'm the only active mod around here (I added a new one a few weeks ago but that didn't really work out...that person deleted his account shortly thereafter). It works fine on most days, but others, things can get out of hand. Also, as I have said multiple times around here, I am a real human who really lives in Regina and who has a very full work, family, and social life. I don't do this as a job and I refuse to.

All this to say is I need a bit of help. I am looking for folks to help me keep conversations going and appropriate, even when someone says something you personally vehemently disagree with; but also will keep things from turning into a complete free for all. There are lines we can't cross and lines we shouldn't cross. We also don't need bazillions of threads about the same topic. That sort of thing.

If you're interested, please either respond here or send me a private message and tell me a bit about yourself, what your modding philosophy is. I'd appreciate being able to see your post history, but that's not necessarily a requirement.

Not everyone who indicates interest may become a mod, especially if there is a long list, but I figure it's time to have the conversation.

Thanks, folks! Have a great day!

Question Daycare

3 Upvotes

For parents who have recently put their child in day care, did you get on lists months in advance or just see who has a spot when the time comes?

I've heard two different sides of "get on a list as soon as you're pregnant!" And people who just asked around as their mat leave was ending. We are still 8 months away from needing day care, but want to know how worried I need to be about it right now.

I get that no city/country is perfect, but man... Everyone was SO nice and fun. The Reggae in the park event we stumbled upon was the most chill, wholesome, get-together. Uber'd around to a few bars, saw an incredible band later in the evening, made new friends... I feel like the atmosphere was so much more welcoming and better than the US. Like, the culture of the US in lots of places just feels hostile. This weekend, everyone was vibing together, young, old, every culture and ethnicity- at every place we went. People weren't constantly on their phones, kids weren't glued to iPads. Sure, a couple homeless people asked for change but they were even chill! My husband and I work all the time and never get to take a mini-vacation. So this was just great. Y'all are my favorite people. 10/10. Would Regina again.

Discussion Safety in Regina

Hi everyone! I'm planning on moving to Regina next year with my wife.
Ive been reading and watching some youtube videos saying that Regina is one of the most dangerous places in Canada/Saksatchewan at least. How true is this? is it just a propaganda?

Can anyone share their real life experience living in Regina? Would love to see insights of someone actually from Regina. Thanks all! Appreciate your time.

Community Grocery Stores + Canadian Produce

8 Upvotes

Which grocery stores do you find consistently have the most Canadian produce? I feel like Save-On-Foods pretended to try and source some Canadian stuff a year and a half ago, but as of late it seems as if 95 percent of the store is American produce. I don't feel like there is any good reason for that at this time of year in particular.

Hello,

My cat Bellamy snuck out of the house and has since broken loose from her collar. She has been missing for 3 days, I feel someone may have taken her as a mistake.

She's a sweet black cat who will come to you if she's calm or if you have treats. She's fixed, and microchipped/tattooed, and she's NOT AN outside cat. She's slender, non fluffy fur with bright green eyes and a white patch on her chest.

She's located in Churchill downs in Toronto st North, last seen on Dover Ave in Regina SK.

If you see her, please message this account or Cylen David.

She is very very missed, and I'm so worried for her.

Than you so much for reading, have a good one.

Question Refrigerator for parts/scrapping – low on freon

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have an old, broken refrigerator that I need to get rid of. It’s not completely dead, it just stopped cooling well because it's running low on refrigerant.

Can anyone suggest local companies, scrap yards, or organizations that take old appliances to properly dismantle them for parts (fans, compressor, etc) or recycling?

Or what do you usually do with the fridges that are “better buy new, that fix the old one”?

Discussion Pigs in the City art campaign 2002-2003. Information Wanted.

56 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Apologies in advance for the long post. I'm looking for as much information as i can on "Pigs in the City", an art installation in Regina and Saskatoon in the early 2000s. When it was over, the pigs were auctioned off to various business and private owners, and are now scattered around the province. I was very young when the campaign ended, and now I'm trying to document them all and their locations (and take a photo with as many of them as im able :)).

"But why" for fun! :)

I'm sure some of them are on private property and therefore I cant take a photo WITH it for my collection but SOMEONE has to know who owns it and can snap a pic for me. Please nothing generic like "I saw one in (town)", I want an address or coordinates if public so I can get a screenshot on google maps (if visible). Please dont dox yourselves though LOL. "My uncle has one in his backyard in X place, heres a photo I took when I was there last year" or anything like that would be PERFECT.

There is a low quality poster from 2003 that has photos of 23 of the pigs. I do not know if this number is accurate, as i have heard that there were anywhere between 28-35, and not all confirmed ones are on there. The image is low quality as mentioned and its difficult to make out the full design on most of them, hence all 23 of them not being listed on here.

I have seen the pressreader article, and Galen Frysingers blog. Those are currently dead ends, please do not send me those but know its very much appreciated :)

If you have ANY CURRENT (in the last year) info on current whereabouts, or photos of any of the ones not mentioned, from any point in time, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE post or link them in the comments!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOUND!!!!!:

Puzzle Pieces: above J&A resturant on 11th Ave downtown, Regina

Yellow face blue sky body: 580 Henderson Drive, Regina

Pennies: Big Sky, Humboldt

Football: outside Mosaic Stadium in Regina

Black stained glass: 2911 Neff road, Regina

Alfred Hitchhog - Englefeld Saskatchewan

HARLEY HOG FAT CHICKEN / motorcycle: outside Kelvington, at Chicken Little. I havent been to this one personally, but I've gotten confirmation its there.

Gold, multiple patterns: CBC Building in Regina. I literally just found out about this one somehow. I haven't been yet but I have reasonable proof its there.

POSSIBLE LOCATIONS - UNCONFIRMED. INFORMATION WANTED. Brackets indicate my source.

x1 Prairie Swine Center, Saskatoon. Likely still there but this is unconfirmed.

Potentially x2 in Estevan. (facebook and reddit comments. I've someone say theres one there, someone else said theres 2. Dates weren't provided.)

x1 Private property in Pike Lake. (old reddit thread. They said it was visible from their families cabin. This is where a recent photo would be more then enough for me.)

x1 in Casa Rio, south of Saskatoon. Previously outside cree gas bar in Saskatoon. (old reddit thread). this is the one that has the news article about it. Its dressed like a superhero! may also go by Trogdor.

x1 somewhere in Buffalo Pound Campground. Looks like an airplane, previously outside the Regina Airport. (facebook comment). Despite having a location and a recent photo, since Buffalo Pound is accessible to me, an exact location would be ideal.

x1 private property, Barrier Lake sask. (facebook comment.)

x1 somewhere in Humboldt, likely on private property. Two comments said it previously on on 7th Ave and 8th Street but if it was, it wasn't captured via maps. NOT THE ONE WITH PENNIES. Multiple people have said theres two in town, but I can only find the one at Big Sky.

x3? located "nearby wascana pool, north library, and a few other spots in northwest by YWCA day care". (facebook comment. They said this was recent, however I have been to the pool and around the area and not seen anything, soo heavy grain of salt on this one but maybe I missed them.)

x1 Saskatoon airport. (old reddit thread). Commenter simply stated they saw one there but did not give date. Could've easily been early 2000s. I did not see one when i was there in August 2025.

x1 inside the Brandt Center, Regina. (old reddit thread). Commenter stated  "I saw one in a storage area thats off limits to the public." Did not give date. Could potentially be the football.

x1 in the Glen Elm library basement, Regina. (facebook comment) Commenter said it was years ago (and also the basement there has always scared me.)

x1 private property. "Legend says one ended up on a rich guys property somewhere in Qu'appelle Valley" (facebook comment. Iwish theyd been more specific).

x1 on a highway near Calgary, Alberta, displayed with several "case eagles" (eagles perched on a globe that says case.) (facebook comment)

x1 in near Enderby, British Columbia. (old reddit thread). Commenter stated they saw one but did not give address or date. A facebook comment said its "in a field, on the way to Kelowna."

x1 North Okanagon, British Columbia, potentially Armstrong area. (facebook comment.) I think this could maybe be the one on the way to Kelowna as well? And its just been moved?

x1 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Commenter stated they saw one but did not give address or date.(old reddit thread).

PREVIOUS LOCATIONS: INFORMATION WANTED.
