And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
As promised.. pictures of the Shark Scramble, courtesy of our customer – Terry Bullerwell. Yes.. I believed he was on the boat .. as a participant too. And yes.. that’s him standing with the shark. If you ain’t the crew.. i doubt you can be on the boat… and being so close to the shark.
You sometimes gotta wonder ..what ppl are thinking about..?? The NSLC (Nova Scotia Liquor Corp) marketing department just announced today that they will be using Coconut Scent in selected stores across Nova Scotia.
“When we talk about liquors, mixed drinks, that kind of thing, you think of pina coladas, margaritas, so that’s why the smell of coconut.”
So here I walk into a liquor store.. and wanna go get a case of beer.. and then .. i am supposed to smell this coconut smell..and think of pina coladas..?? And then turn around .. and buy some..??
“it just helps support that whole ambience of the store”
Ok.. now i’m really confused..! ambience..?? coconut scent.. and ambience..?? ok.. now .. that’s some weird and odd thinking .. donch you think..?? “Subliminal” was the response that they have already gotten from some customers. What do you think..?? would you want to smell the scent of coconut in a liquor store..?? Personally, I wouldn’t mind.. but it does nothing for me.. if i was in a liquor store to buy a bottle of wine.. or a case of beer for my brother-in-law or father-in-law. So why waste money.. eh..??
We were preparing to leave for Grammie’s place yesterday.. and Chloe was shouting. “CANDY RAINBOW…!! CANDY RAINBOW..!!”
I tell yer.. my brat never fails to amaze me.. !! i donch know where she gets that smart mouth from… 🙂 And i’m pretty sure.. i wasn’t able to say something like that.. when i was 3.5yrs old.. hahhaha!!
Nothing unusual if it was a your everyday dude/dudette wedding… but under same sex marriage.. very near home in Annapolis Valley.. now that’s different. How do the ppl looked upon it..?? Well.. looks like residents of Cheverie, are playing it down.
But being the first federal politician to exchange vows in a same-sex ceremony, now that definitely should create some kinda boo-ha. A year ago.. when 2 RCMP officers got married in Nova Scotia.. there wasn’t an uproar or anything. . but it sure was one of the first and an eye-opener for me here. If you donch know.. gay marriages were legalized 2 years ago.. in Canada.
The Canadians are very liberal.. and they are mostly non-fussy ppl. As long as they are not hurting us.. that’s what they all said. I hear that some ppl from the States comes to Canada to legalize their marriage. Is it true..??
It is funny .. when you own your own business… and you chat with other business owners.. when there is news about how the town is being run. Obviously, not many business owners are happy with the things are. Just the other day.. the local papers were running the same news about tourism being beyond worst and as usual.. with us.. when another owner comes by our store.. we yak.
And we discussed.. and we cursed. .and we laughed. .and we make fun of stuff.. that are quite obvious. .. but no one wants to do anything about. And me being me.. of course.. had my say.. and guess what these owners who were at my store said..??
If you run for council.. i’m gonna vote for you .. muahhahahaha!! this is too funny..!! Why would they think that i can run for council ..?? maybe i talk too much eh..?? or the loudest in the crowd..??? Well.. whatever it is.. we sure need either some new blood in the council.. or some “rotan” .. !!
It’s pouring outside.. !! luckily .. we got into the store.. before it started to pour again..!! And as you all know.. sucky weather.. brings in more customers for us.. !! And true enough..! customers are coming in left, right and center.. to get movies.. and games.. 🙂 One customer just rented like 6 movies.
I just hope it stops.. when it is time for us to go home. And i donch know if they went ahead of the shark scramble today.. no news even on local news today..!!
Nah..i’m not crazy..! With the thunder storm last nite.. we had ppl coming into our store.. to look into because their computer got fried..! And they are ever grateful.. when PB tells them.. that it is just the power supply..because it’s the cheapest.. thing to replace. And one would thank God for their good fortune.. if that’s the only thing to get the computer up and running again.
Also with last nite’s thunderstorm.. we saw a surge of ppl coming in to rent movies. So movie and game rentals were up today too. We also sold quite a few used games today.. and some movies as well.
Some long time customers dropped in.. just to say hello.. and spend some money.. and out of towner .. also bought a few games.. and other stuff.. like glow sticks.. and fireworks. We had quite a busy day today.. and luckily .. Keegan came to babysit.
This week at the store.. as usual.. we see alot of ppl coming into the store.. to sell you just about everything.. and even the KIDS..!! yup.. i’m talking about 12 – 14 yrs old kids..!!
Yesterday .. two teenage kids came in to sell some very old children VHS ..! hear me right ok.. VHS..! just so they can get a few bucks..! I donch understand it at all..! why do they need to do that..?? when i was a kid.. we didn’t have very much money..! but we never go sell anything.. that we owned.. or given to us as gift. Donch their parents know what they are doing..??
It irks me to no end.. when i see kids starting this young.. doing stuff like that.. because i know for sure.. when they get older.. you know what they are gonna do.. right..?? try to steal from their family first.. and sell their stuff.. and then steal from their friends.. and sell their stuff.. and then steal from whoever they can ripped off.
Parents of these kids.. donch understand that it starts young.. and if you donch curb the situation .. immediately .. your kids are just going to go down the ditch. Now i am not talking about those.. who sells to upgrade or to buy something newer.. when the parents are with them. Now those kids are smart.. and taught well to bargain.. and barter and trade .. there is a lot of difference with those kids.. and those that comes in alone… or with their equally young b/f to do stuff secretly.
Is this the society’s wrong..?? or just a different culture.. from what I am used to..??
Yup.. ! the annual shark scramble is this weekend..! I’ve always enjoyed the shark scramble.. seeing the boats come in.. and the sharks getting weigh in.. it’s a magnificent sight i tell ya.
This year.. i heard that they are only allowed to bring in one shark per boat. The prize is $3000 in cash.. if i am not wrong.. but take a look at the shark that was caught in 2004.. magnificent right..??
One of my favorite perfume had been on sale.. for a few weeks.. now. .and i’ve already bought a bottle of it. Today.. PB was at Pharmasave.. and saw the same perfume Eternity by Calvin Klein on sale still. 50ml for 23 bucks.. + tax… very cheap hor..??
Very .. cheap.. but i already 2 bottles of the same kind.. so should i buy another or not..?? If it was many moons ago.. so no problem one.. !! buy and keep.. and donch really care what the price is lah.. but now got kid already.. so gotta think of her first lor.. ! and also here in Canada hor..everyone talk about fragrance free environment and all.. so one cannot really wear anything. But i donch care lah.. i still wear my perfume everyday.. but i do not refresh myself every few hours.. like i do .. when i was back home.
So buy or no buy leh..??
