HUGS. A huge hug to the local organic growers who sell at our farmers’ markets. Thank you for feeding my 100 mile organic diet!
Slugs. To the vendors that burn incense, sage and other, or smoke at their booths! The market reputation really suffers, and there is no winner!
SLUGS. Two handfuls of slugs for the smug hugs. This is a response to whomever wrote about “light trespassing.” I am utterly confounded by your ignorance, in disbelief you would consider that any sort of intimidation. It’s a tad amusing. Let’s put things into perspective for you, you need to consider everyone’s schedule is entirely different. I am a young female who lives alone, works full-time, who also works night shift every now and then, living in an area with a horde of raccoons at my doorstep regularly. I’m so sorry I disrupt your sleep, I really am, but I have a right to have my light on for my own benefit, considering my above points. I can’t believe you could be so rude as to be so selfish, like I live the sad life? Hope you learn how to gain some perspective, open up to awareness and try to understand not everyone’s position is exactly the same in life.
SLUGS. I just noticed again today that a Nelson city police officer while driving his police truck was talking on his cell phone while driving. I would think that a police vehicle would be equipped with a hands free device so the officers could talk and drive in a safe and lawful manner while going about their duties. I would like to give a slug to those individuals who enforce the no-talking on cell phones while driving laws, but fail to abide by the same law.
Slugs. To the insurance company that renews your policy without your permission and then charges you for it! Not the way to drum up business!
HUGS. To Sveta who works tirelessly for soccer in this community and always has a big smile doing it. Kids of all ages (that includes the big ones who play in the City Soccer League) are so lucky to have you in this community.
HUGS. Oodles of hugs to the person who returned my completely full wallet, completely full, to Hoover Street. Your generous act of kindness meant more to me than you will ever know. Once again you have proved how caring our community is. You make me so proud to be a Nelsonite. Thanks again.
SLUGS. To those people who are too cheap to spend the $4 per day to park in the city parkade although you all seem to drive pretty expensive vehicles. Instead you choose to park in our very limited residential parking for the entire day and we all have to park blocks away from our homes. Not so much fun when you have armloads of groceries and small children to deal with. Have a little consideration.
HUGS. To Nelson Minor Hockey’s new boss. Thanks for stepping up during such a critical time of the season. Your awesome abilities and kind nature will be a huge asset to all the young hockey players in this community.
Hugs. To the city, its staff and the many business owners and private individuals who have given us such spectacular hanging baskets throughout the city. They are so beautifully shaped and coloured they almost look artificial. They’ve been a source of delight all summer long, and now into fall.
HUGS. What a loving and joyful 50th anniversary message to Sheila Joan! A blessing, indeed. Thank you for sharing it.
Slugs. To the fat orange cat that sheds all of its hair, turning my clothes into fur balls.
Hugs. To the sun for sticking around.
HUGS. To all the Nelson Youth Soccer house league coaches who work hard to ensure that the kids who love to kick the ball around are developing their skills and having a blast doing it. If it wasn’t for men and women like you, our community would not be the special place it is. Enjoy the winter and I’m already looking forward to next spring!
Hugs. To the community for supporting local business that make our city unique.
