BOUQUET To Aerial Tree Service for cutting down our tree and cleaning up the mess. And when the job took less time than expected, they charged us less than the quote.

BEEF To the person who hit our parked car on Milton Street by Nob Hill Park and drove off without leaving your contact information. Learn how to take responsibility for your actions, or hand in your licence.
BOUQUET To the funky fashions on Commercial Street for the greatest selection of dresses to found anywhere. I looked high and low and finally found what I was looking for here.
BEEF To every medical person I have dealt with over the phone during my medical ordeal. So rude and unhelpful with so much attitude on the phone. When people are going through these hard times in life, please be caring and have some sympathy.
BOUQUET To the lovely young guys who were randomly handing out roses on Commercial Street on Valentine’s Day. You have no idea how much I needed and appreciated this random act of kindness.

BOUQUET to Ed Wickwire. You bring a smile to so many people every single day. May the sun shine on you every day, the way you bring sunshine to so many others. We love you, and your love for Motley Crue.
BEEF To all the residents and businesses that do not shovel their sidewalks. Have some compassion for the elderly people that walk on those walkways, or I will come there and do it myself.
BOUQUET To the gentleman who gave me a break. Thank you. I promise to keep my head on my shoulders.
BEEF To all of you who waste paper. You should follow the example of my unemployed neighbour, who never prints off any resumés or cover letters and saves lots of trees that way.
BOUQUET To the woman with long blonde hair and glasses in the light colored Nissan, who was following behind me on the Island highway and gave me the thumbs up because of my big happy white dog. You sure made my day, because only an hour before that, my car was broken into while my dog was in the car. Lucky for him, my dog doesn’t bite.
BOUQUET to our neighbour Rob Roy for snowblowing our driveway as well as the sidewalks in our neighbourhood

BOUQUET To the palliative care unit for the loving care provided to Duncan Cumming. Also to Hospice caregivers for all their help. You are all angels.

BOUQUET To the success of the Sochi Winter Olympics, and the successes of all the athletes.

BOUQUET To B.C. Hydro for getting the power back on.
