I'll add my greetings - Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas, and best wishes for a safe New Year - :cdn: Hawk

Don't blame you  ::) What can I say? I'm old, and tired, and I have a cold. Couldn't think if I tried today, and I'm just too tired out to try. Lime green CROCS look wierd with any Clan's kilt! :cdn: Hawk

Well - ok (socks and sandals with a Kilt). Last summer at the Highland Gathering in Selkirk I saw dancers with oversized crocks over their dance slippers - looked wierd, especially the lime green ones, but it did protect their leather slippers. Long as it doesn't disgrace the Kilt, I guess its...

Socks and sandals :cdn: Hawk

Visible underwear on anyone! Being T-barred when a woman bends over, dirty bra straps - hell any bra straps, pants with the crotch hanging at knee level, and like someone said here, boxers pulled up to the neck. Don't want to know what underwear you have on! With visible bra straps my mom's...

On the other side: I used to work in a donut shop in a small city, where most of the customers were regulars, who came in at the exact same time every day and had the exact same order every day. I'd turned over the till and left one night at 10:00pm to the night guy, and these 2 women had just...

Interesting experience last year. I didn't have a poppy, and a friend and I had to run into Safeway for something. Inside the door in a huge, motorized wheelchair sat a Vet in uniform with his poppy box on his knee. "You're just the guy I'm looking for" says mouthy me. He chuckled, made some...

I've worked in customer service, and its not easy! I simply refuse to accept bad customer service - and can be the customer from hell. Speak up - ask to speak to the manager, shout for service, do whatever it takes. I've e-mailed Winnipeg Transit about bad bus drivers, and e-mailed Subway's...

I've seen lots of people here in Winnipeg wearing them. In fact, a woman I passed in a store yesterday without one looked odd. I expect my son has a handful of them and has been getting after any of his friends and co-workers who weren't wearing one and has handed them a poppy. He does that...

When I worked for a polling firm some time ago, we did a lot of US political polling - some featuring Obama. He was popular then, long before the presidential race, so I'm not overly surprised. We did, however hear lots of nasty and  prejudicial comments. I hope he can live through his term in...

Granted - but the nut behind the trigger still  has to do his part - in patterning as well as learning to use it! Still a dumb question I couldn't answer without sounding rude to a customer. My own shotgun didn't shoot worth a d@mn till it was properly patterned - but that wasn't an inherent...

Heard this the other day: "How accurate is the .410 you guys sell?" I work at a place that sells guns. The answer I WANTED to give him, but couldn't was "Depends on what kind of nut's behind the trigger."

Dave - Sent you an e-mail :cdn: Hawk

Hello retiredsoldier! Wasn't it a great time. We well could have met at Rockcliff. I was one of the 13 Wrens - Trollip 4, WW scene and on the stage in my Highland Scene costume for Finale. Also the one in pink who "annoyed" one of the Old Guard. Great to meet you - :cdn: Hawk

When I was packing my bags to go to Basic, my cat was in-and-out of it several times. Believe me, once the suitcase was closed, I did a thorough search of the house till I found my cat curled up in a ball in one of her favourite hiding places! :cdn: Hawk

Good for him! I hope he recovers well. He should have realized its the bear's yard, and humans and dogs are the invading their territory. Precautions can be taken, besides staying out of the woods. When I lived in the mountains, we always made sure we made lots of noise, so the animals knew we...

Registered - I got right in, and it only took a few seconds. We aren't much bothered. I've been requesting to be put on DNC lists every time I got a call for a long time. It eventually gets rid of most of them. Problem is, more and more keep popping up. The new registry should stop that. Has...

Good! Its been a long time coming. Sometimes when you ask to be put on the DNC list with a company calling you (surveys etc) your number only gets put on the list for the current survey. Make sure you stipulate that you want to go on the poling firm's DNC list, so that you don't just get put...

I was talking to a clerk at the grocery store yesterday. The cost of my shopping for a week went up by 50% - food prices are going through the roof in Winnipeg already without the Green Shaft Shift. My comments were that I wondered if Dion was going to provide us with extra grocery money every...

Best wishes in your chosen path! When I joined - in the deep dark past ('60's), my parents were sort-of ok with it. Dad had served in WWII, and Mom was a bit nervous of the whole thing, but knew if my mind was made up, there was no sense arguing with me. Funny thing is, Dad caught proper sh**...
