I have a couple of favorites that are a real treat when visiting Winnipeg: Niko's on Corydon has the most amazing lemon roasted potatoes, and Earl's Prawn Dynamite Roll is scrumptious.

Welcome! :)

Welcome!! :)

I have a 20" Aragorn epic action figure in my closet, still in its original box. I have a few other LoTR action figures as well. :glasses:

1. Purple "Janis Joplin" glasses for a costume party - eBay 2. Silicone skin for my iPod Nano - eBay 3. Screen protector for said Nano - eBay 4. Concert tickets - Roxette in September, woohoo!!

<-- am short & round, just like a hobbit! :)

I'm a couple of weeks away from 39. :drinker:

What it boils down to for me: I hate counting calories and I hate exercise, but I hate being fat more. :grumble:

Peas & brussel sprouts. Peas taste like dirt and brussel sprouts smell like fart. Gross! >.<

In no particular order... The Princess Bride The Breakfast Club Labyrinth The Dark Crystal Legend Never tire of these movies. Oh, and the holiday staple in my home...A Christmas Story (you'll shoot your eye out!)

Hoping I will be at goal next year...when celebrating my 40th birthday...in VEGAS!!!

Not a fan of zombies either. Not sure exactly what it is about them that freaks me out, but they give me the creeps bigtime!

I'm from Manitoba. :)

1. Lord of the Rings trilogy 2. Harry Potter series 3. Pirates of the Caribbean series

Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. ~ Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

At the theatre: "The Vow". On DVD: "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides". Both were very good -"Pirates" was more to my taste tho. :)

Nope, no crushes on MFP. Seems to be a lot of super-nice people on this site, so I can see why it happens. :)

Feel free to add me also. :) I want to lose a total of 95 lbs, so I'm definitely going to be here for awhile.

^^ This pretty much sums up how I feel on this topic. :)

I love my FitBit as a motivator to get off my butt & move, plus I really like the sleep tracking feature. I've been using it for a week and am very pleased with it. :)

Great topic! Thanks for the link! :) I'm most definitely a Hobbit, and reading through the comments on the noted article, would have to go with Bard class because my current fitness craze is all about Zumba. Dancing is my favorite form of exercise, and I hope to become confident enough with my Zumba moves to join a fitness…

^ This is so true! I've been single for 11 years and for the most part, I really enjoy it. It's different for everyone...I have friends who waited between six months to a year before dating again and it worked very well for them.

I have a 12-year-old Siamese cat named Neelix.

Smoking is the #1 deal-breaker for me.

^ this! :glasses:

Greetings all...my name is Gayle and my superpower is the ability to retain useless trivia, i.e. remembering the names for all the Sweat Hogs from the "Welcome Back Kotter" TV show (oy, I'm dating myself here) or my second-grade best friend's telephone number. Essentially any morsels of odd information that take up brain…

My faves are Grimm, Fringe, Criminal Minds, Bones, Haven, Person of Interest, 48 Hours Mystery, and Dateline NBC.

Count my vote for "Yay". I go twice a week for 5 minutes/session in a stand-up booth (too claustrophobic for the beds). I find it has really helped with the "winter blahs", acne flare-ups, and my overall sense of well-being. During the summer months, I get my vitamin D from the Great Outdoors, but come November, I'm…

I live in the RM of Stanley, just outside of Winkler. Nice to see a Manitoba group on MFP! :)

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I will be treating myself to two slices of pizza for my Valentine's supper, then heading out for a walk, after which I will watch a little TV and enjoy a cup of Folger's Vanilla Biscotti flavored coffee. I hope everyone has a wonderful evening! :)
