Most of the stuff I've gotten from there I love. Best ergonomic trowel, ever. Love the measuring cups. The scale. If I had the money I'd own a lot more of the products they offer.
I haven't failed until I quit.

Yes, a very successful, well-run Canadian family business.

They listen to their customers. They innovate and update. They pay their employees very well.

So, what’s to carp about?
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Girl guides, minor hockey, figure skating, school grads, etc. Not sure about this time of year though.

ReStore had a bottle drive last weekend but you had to deliver to their store on Enterprise.

If they want mine they should be willing to come and get them.
I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.
That's worked out great for me!

I actually like these flights with lots of complaints. People complain because they don't read the find print. If you read the fine print you get cheap flights, but if you don't you end up paying for all these "extras" such that your trip isn't cheap after all.

OMG, that's right out of Naked and Afraid. They are definitely not vegans.
And it's in Powell River.

Buddy told me something that made me burst out laughing, apparently a Mustang Mach-E owner has PO a few dealerships to the point they have banned him.

Ford in Penticton, Vernon & Orchard Ford in Kelowna.
