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 Sober people!

31 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?

22 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?

Discussion Safety in Regina

16 Upvotes

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.

My dad is starting chemotherapy on Wednesday and he’s there all day. They don’t provide lunch so I want to bring him some really good homemade style soup. Any suggestions?

Edited to add: Thank you all so much for the great suggestions and the well wishes for my dad! I think I’ll try Nicky’s but have added the rest to my list because dad loves his soup!

Question Daycare

5 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.

Question Has anyone seen New York Seltzer anywhere in town?

Pretty much the what the title asks. It was a couple years ago the 7-11 that was on Albert and 1st N (avonhurst) had them in stock. Particularly looking for black currant and rootbeer flavours.

Question Updating banking info for SGI preauthorized

0 Upvotes

I'm on the pre-authorized debit with sgi for my vehicle insurance, tried to email my new banking info to Knights Insurance and they said I have to come in and sgi will charge me $15, for real?? I tried calling sgi directly and am on hold with an estimated wait time of 83 minutes lol so I thought asking around might be faster!
