I just saw this article in the Winnipeg Free Press:

Breast cancer drug linked to heart failure: Herceptin commonly used alongside chemotherapy.

Is that one of the drugs you're currently using? If so, I thought the article might interest you.

Most ill-advised car dealership ad EVER

Or if not, at least it has to be in the top three.

( Text of an article from the Winnipeg Free Press that you should read first )

And now, the ad itself:

Can you believe that given recent events in Winnipeg, someone actually thought that this style of ad was a good idea?

Lunch, groceries, and the Quest for Red Bull

After I was finished exercising, at about 1:50, George coaxed me into going to Bread & Circuses, a local bakery and cafe, for lunch. It cost us $36 for the two of us, including a loaf of Balkan rye bread to take home, but it was worth every penny. I had a turkey sandwich and turkey curry soup with a side salad, and George had a ham and swiss with Brazilian bean soup. It's a well-lit friendly place with excellent food.

After lunch we stopped at the Food Fare and picked up several things, including a pork loin roast for tomorrow's dinner -- but not the one item I really wanted, which was a sugar free Red Bull. I've been feeling so exhausted and punky these last couple of days and wanted something to give me a bit of a lift. We also tried at Sugar Mountain -- still no soap. Finally we stopped at 7-Eleven, which had it. The irony of the situation is that after all that effort, I'm actually feeling not too bad. Oh well. I intend to work late tonight, so perhaps it will come in handy then.
