BEEF TO PEOPLE tossing their cigarette butts on ground, especially during fire season.
BOUQUET TO MYSELF for finally being able to evict the world’s worst tenants after six years of hell. Life is now good.
BEEF TO THE HOUSE that has the big anti-Trudeau flag in their window. It is rude, crude and disheartening for people to see, especially children and youth.
BOUQUET TO ALL the people that respond to a simple greeting while walking the streets of our friendly community every day.
BEEF TO ANYONE using Roundup or Killex. These two products contain chemicals which can be extremely harmful to both you and your neighbours. A little consideration, please.
BOUQUET TO DRIVERS who wait patiently behind buses as they load and unload. You just saved the life of the person who leapt out the front door of the bus and then dashed right in front of it across the oncoming/passing lane without looking.
BEEF TO WHOEVER wrote a beef about pets and pet ownership devastating the environment, comparing a loving, intelligent creature to an SUV. Nothing is more devastating to this planet than human beings.
THANKS TO THE KIND and generous man who surprised me by pre-paying for my haircut. I had heard some health news just before my appointment so this made me smile.
BEEF TO THE LADY in our neighbourhood who has two big dogs. Your dogs bark early in the morning and sometimes all day. You have been spoken to and still nothing is done. I don’t want to report you but if this keeps up I will have no choice.
BOUQUET TO ALL THOSE IN TOWN with lifted 4x4s. It’s always better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
BEEF TO THE RCMP officer who witnessed a car blowing through a red light at over 90 km/h. When the light changed the officer drove away, choosing to do nothing. This forum will be just as effective as trying to register a complaint.
AFTER SHOPPING at Home Depot I accidentally left my wallet in the shopping cart and drove off. A very kind and honest person handed it into the customer service desk where I located it. Very many thanks.
BEEF TO THE PROVINCE for not providing reasonable care to the citizens of B.C. I reported my stomach problem April 1. After visiting a number of doctors, blood tests, CTs, etc., I’m now told they may have an idea what the problem is in early August, in the meantime, carry on without medication or guidance.
A HUGE BOUQUET to the staff at Forbes Pharmacy. Everyone there has been so helpful and pleasant. They are very accommodating and efficient and deal with prescriptions in a very timely manner.
BEEF TO THE BEEFER complaining about how we drive here. Move over and let people pass. You could cause an accident.
BOUQUET TO THE STAFF AT SUBWAY for keeping my bank card safe until I remembered where I left it and went to pick it up.
BEEF TO THE IRRESPONSIBLE dog owner who left a dog full of poo tied up on the utility box on the sidewalk along Briarwood Place. That is so disgusting, and it takes a special character for someone to do something like that. Where’s your decency?
