My dad tells a story of a man who was casting and got a fishhook stuck in his back. Being all alone, he attempted to pull it out by reaching over his shoulder and ended up getting his hand stuck in the fish hook. To add insult to injury, he was a good hour away from the hospital and had to drive himself into town one handed.
My dad heard the story from the doctor who had to help the poor guy. The doc was trying to make my dad feel better for getting a fish hook in his hand from digging around his tackle box.
Ketchup chips are really good. It surprises me that they aren't a big deal in the the states because we love them in the great white north. I'm not a ketchup fan but I love ketchup chips are fabulous. And even better than Lays Ketchup chips, Doritos Ketchup chips although they only come out every so often.
I would guess that any Canadian around age 30 knows this song and I'm sure most - like me - hum it when anyone mentions putting something in his mouth. Strangely though, I don't remember the commercial. I'm thinking I heard it on the playground.
So, since I have been paying into the system for many years and my only hospital stays were to have my two children, I have actually paid much much more to have my kids here in Canada. Still won't complain though, I'm happy with healthcare in Canada.
This also brings up the question of why alcohol consumption is demonized more in modern times.
I think that this could be clarified a bit by saying, "in America." European culture and Canadian culture are much more open about alcohol. When in Europe, I found that many people would have a drink with lunch then head back to work but in my experience, that is quite taboo in the States. I have other examples but soon this will be TL;DR. As a Canadian, I would be curious what the differences are bw American and Canadian culture in regards to alcohol consumption.
Up here in my hometown in Saskatchewan, the bodies get put in a cellar until spring. Then families have a burial ceremony. I'm surprised that it is worth the effort to thaw the frozen ground.
I think there is a potential benefit to it. Being part of the working poor is truly unfair and these individuals don't have a lot of options or time to be activists to fix the disparity. I'm not saying that asking wealthy college students will fix the wage disparity in America but awareness could be beneficial in the long run.
Italy used to have a year of mandatory military service or a year of volunteering. It was for men only and just ended in 2005. I like the idea of serving your country either through military service or by helping the disadvantaged. It put everyone on a level playing field for a year.
Leon's is the store with the most blatantly sexist employees that I've been to in a long time. I went shopping for a buffet credenza with my sister and my mom and walked past nine employees who were either chatting to each other or checking their cell phones. We wandered around for about half an hour without a single employee asking us what we were looking for. The next day my sister convinced me to go again but to also bring my husband and the second the four of us entered the store, there were two employees offering help. Not to me, mind you, but to my husband. He kept telling the guy who was helping us that he wasn't actually sure what I wanted and that they should be asking me but not once were the questions directed my way. Not that Leon's cares at all but I refuse to buy anything there now.
It looks like a surveying wheel. It probably measures in yards but the ones at my school measures metres. You start with the zero at the arrow and walk, the ones at our school click every metre and you count the clicks to measure the distance you've walked.
Climax, SK is near my hometown and it is one what some call the highway of love. Two other towns on the way to Climax are Havre, then Turner, then... Pretty witty eh?
In Vancouver a few years ago, Lulu Lemon did a similar promotion. Instead of an amount of money to buy something, people got to pick out clothes to leave the store with.
