Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of October 6!
- Kicks to the people who drop their cigarette butts on the ground. They are ugly and poisonous. Use a personal ash tray like a metal cough drop container.
- Grateful hugs and kisses to Vineet and Nidhi at High Beam Dreams for bringing David Gogo to the Coast. Great music at a fab venue.
- Kisses to my neighbours and friends who offered help and treats after my knee replacement surgery. I feel so special.
- To the young man who found my wallet around the Chatelech parking lot. Truly remarkable and the gesture is a testament to him and his family. I thank him for his thoughtfulness, integrity and kindness. It was a surprise moment and I would ask the young man to come see me again.
- Kisses to Matt and the staff of the Madeira Park IGA for their support of the Pender Harbour Aquatic Society’s season opening barbeque on September 17.
- Big clear-eyed kisses to Mahmood and Aileen at Eye Deal Optical for years of outstanding customer service and dedication to our coast community. They always go out of their way to ensure that glasses are the correct prescription, stylish, and affordable. Amazing customer service keeps me coming back.
- Kicks to the self righteous person who dissed people who ask for ‘single use’ plastic bags. Most people use their ‘single use’ bags for groceries and then garbage, making them ‘double use’ bags. How many times do you use the ‘single use’ plastic bags you put your garbage out in?
- Kicks to people who feel it’s their perogative to vent their anger, entitlement and frustration out on medical office staff. Please, I invite you to walk a day in our shoes and see how demanding a job it is.
- Kisses to those who are kind and considerate, you make a big difference.
- Huge kicks to speeders, on Frances Rd in HMB. This is a 50km zone, residential street, wildlife corridor, bordering a school zone. Please show some respect, leave earlier, and realize it’s not all about you. 60-80 km is not ok.
- A store full of kisses to Claire R. at London Drugs for always going above and beyond with a friendly smile.
- Kisses to Capilano Highway Services for repairing the collapsed culvert on Wescan Road.
