Roses

  • Roses galore to all who came to our yard sale in Newton Sept. 12 and 13 weekend – over $1,400 was raised for The Ride to Conquer Cancer!
  • Roses to the parks and recreation staff working the Fleetwood Festival. They were so helpful to bring us an assembled tent when others had so much trouble assembling their own. Their display of kindness was a most welcome solution to our problem and we are forever grateful. Thank you!
  • A nice big rose for the person who put my baby’s dropped “Sophie the Giraffe” on the windshield of our car.  We didn’t even realize we had lost her.  Thank you!
  • A grocery cart full of roses for the gentleman who paid for my groceries at Superstore in Guildford on Sept. 18.
  • A rose to Jim at Country Tire in Surrey and one deep pink rose of gratitude and appreciation. He didn’t know it but I was a bit cash strapped at the time and thought I needed to replace a tire. After examining the flat, he offered to change the valve and properly patch the tire (the previous fix had been a plug) instead. You now have a new customer. Thank you for your thoughtfulness!

Rotten Tomatoes

  • Rotten tomatoes to all the dog owners using Freedom Dog Park in Surrey who don’t pick up after their pets. The place is disgusting. The city provides a nice place for you and your pets and you don’t have the decency to keep it clean. My first visit was the one and only time I will ever take a visitor with a pet there.
  • Rotten tomatoes to the grumpy women who told me to sit down while I was standing up trying to watch Irish dancers dance at Fleetwood Festival. You can’t tell a person to sit down if they don’t feel like it! It’s a free country! Shut up and stop ruining this event for others!
  • Rotten tomatoes go out to the person who stuck gum on the cement at Kwantlen. Thanks a lot! Now my track suit is full of gum thanks to your stupidity! Karma will get you in the end, just you wait.
  • Rotten tomatoes to the badminton coach who rejected me from the team saying I am not going enough! You can say whatever you want I don’t care what you think of me!
  • Rotten tomatoes to the jerk who caused a ruckus at the bar for no reason. Karma caught up to you when you were later arrested outside.
