As a migrant from another country, one cannot help but feel fortunate that the immigration of Canada is and had always been good to me. They have always been polite.. and given me much to praise about .. for their patience. Such is also the case for pair of Iranian refugee.
Unauthorized arthritis & joint treatments
The federal agency has issued alerts for Asam Urat Flu Tulang, PJ Dewandaru and Khun-Phra.
So if you know of anyone taking the above .. please warn them that this products are found to contain undeclared drugs that could cause serious side effects including irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure and blood disorder, plus seizures and hallucination. But seriously, I wonder how these drugs got into Canada’s market in the first place, maybe by travelers.. who have gone home for a holiday or something to that effect. These products are not authorized for sale but just beware in case a well meaning friend or relative recommends to you.
Simple Woman Love Simple Things
I’m a very simple person.. and simple stuff makes me smile. My FIL sent this over by email. And i’m sure.. it’s because it amuses him.. that a few japanese men can play so well.. with their banjos and violin and guitar.. and singing a country song. I really donch ask for much and i’m easily pleased.
Cough & Cold Medication not for young children
Ok.. mummies and daddies, grammies and grampies out there.. listen up..!
DO NOT..! give your young children cough and cold medication as the products pose serious health risks.. US Health Officials said.
“children under the age of two should not use decongestants and those under age six should not be given antihistamine medicines.”
The FDA wants warning labels to be added to prescription and over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, cautioning parents about potential overdose risks for toddlers. So why is cough and cold medication relentlessly marketed when it’s not safe or effective? So what do one use.. if cough and cold medication is not safe..?? Doctors advised parents to give their children lots of fluids and wait out the course of the cold in place of giving children cold medicines. Children under two might suffer serious adverse side-effects if given cough and cold medicine.
Ok.. no more cough and cold medication for our Chloe..!
Loonie closes above parity
The US dollar continues to fall against the major world currencies.. and the Canadian dollar continued to raise above parity. Event the tourist we had today at our store .. was asking for our quarter to exchange to bring home. This is really strange.. because when I first came to Canada.. i remember the Americans being very indignant.. about getting their American dollars for change .. for anything they bought.
Strange as it is.. but i get a feeling that the Americans coming across this is year are way better than we’ve come across .. the last few years. I wonder if it has anything to do with the greenbacks..??
Halo Hype
So what’s all the hype.. you ask me..?? being a store that sells Halo 3 or any new games that the market has to offer…. i really can’t tell. But Halo 3 is the all time money making champion in entertainment history. Up to $170 million.. in entertainment budget in the first 24hrs after release. Fan frenzy was cited but not much about the game itself..?? Hype is another part of it and it really didn’t suck big time.
Nursing Is The Way To Go
If i weren’t afraid of dead ppl and mortuary, I would have become a nurse or even a doctor. But i’m handicapped because i’m a wimp… muahahha!! For years and years.. i’ve known all along. .that nursing pays not only well.. it is one profession.. that will never be too much ..! For generations.. during my grandfather’s time, he had wanted my aunt to go into nursing.. and to please him.. she did. One of my uncle was the head of the nursing school back home. And one of our favourite customer’s wife is also heading the nursing dept here.
With the loonie so strong here in Canada.. it’s enough to lure some nurses back from the States. I know alot have gone to the States to work. Maybe the strong loonie will work for us this time.. instead of against us. Nurses and doctors are a great shortage here in Nova Scotia and with more and more nurses retiring.. we’ll need to do more than just giving them more pay. I hope the government will act on it and take advantage of the currency situation.
Never Thought This Day Would Come
Never crossed my mind that i would see the Canadian Dollars or any other currencies on par with American Dollars. You know when I was a young kid, you hear your aunts, your neighbours and your grandmother talk about those who’ve gone to “kum san” (USA) to earn “bee kim” (US Dollars) and how proud they were of their sons or grandsons .. who had gone to the states and wash plates behind a chinese restaurant and earning US Dollars.
Well.. Grandma.. there’s no difference now.. i guess eh..?? My Grandma would be upset if she was still alive. And my mother who have had been saving US Dollars for the last 20 yrs would prolly be upset.. so i’m not calling home for now… muahahahha!!
Mattel Apologizes To China
Well.. looks like I’m also at fault for blaming China’s manufacturer for those defective toys. “Mattel apologizes to China over recalls of toys”! Mattel is taking the blame for the flaws in the design and had recalled more toys than justified.
The Barbie Doll accessories and toy cars with lead paint and tiny magnets were the main reason for the recall. Mattel caused quite a big stir .. when they called for those recall. Did you all know that China is the center for the world’s toymaking industry..? exporting more than 7.5 US billion worth of toys.
OJ Should Stay Put In Jail
I donch know about you .. but I sure hate OJ Simpsons with a passion. In the first place, I donch know how he got acquitted from the murder of his former spouse and her friend. His ex-wife and her friend Goldman was found stabbed and slashed to death in 1994. After even a live broadcast chasing in his car, and the trial so widely televised on international tvs. He was acquitted in 1995. He even has custody of his 2 children.
And guess who is in trouble again with the law. Yup..!! the brilliant man..! With a history of so much violence.. i cannot understand how he managed to get his kids in his custody…?? Ppl like OJ Simpsons makes me sick..!! he thinks he is GOD.. and he can do anything..! i hope he stays permanently behind bars.
