whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 13 Jul 09

I love nothing better than a nice ice cold drink of water. I prefer it to pop and juice and pretty much all other drinks. Where I grew up we had good clean tap water. We would go on vacation and really appreciate the water from...

We did Mohawks better in the 80's!

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 29 Jun 09

I have noticed the Mohawk hairstyle is making a comeback around here. Back in the 80's when people had them the hair was high and it was coloured in fantastic kool-aid colours. These days they aren't as high or colourful! I guess...

Haven't you noticed that 3" hair coming out of your eyebrow?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 29 Jun 09

I'm sure you have seen them, and I hate to say it, but mostly on men, that hair that is so long it could reach the moon. It is usually complete with a long nose hair and bushy ears. Why don't people get rid of them? Do they have...

Are you a one stop shopper?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 24 Jun 09

Growing up my mom always shopped at the same Safeway grocery store. Once a week she would go and get supplies. My aunt on the other hand would follow the sales. If one store had a sale on something she would go buy it there then...

Hey buddy, where's your red flag!

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 24 Jun 09

In the old days when a person was transporting a long object on their vehicle and it stuck out they put a red flag off the end of it. It was the law. These days it seems no one does it any more. I was pleasantly surprised when I...

What ever happened to the service at service stations?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 16 Jun 09

This morning I stop and get propane in my car on the way to work. I notice I need air in a couple of tires. I look over to where the air pump was and it was gone. No problem my favorite air pump is less than a block away. I get...

What is the secret to good hashbrowns?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 15 Jun 09

I was at a restaurant in town here a few weeks ago and had the best hashbrowns in years. They had onions and corned beef in them. They were fabulous. Of course I tried to copy them at home but that failed. I can never seem to get...

I actually love Mcdonald's coffee!

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 15 Jun 09

Mcdonalds just ran a free coffee promotion in my town. Of course I took advantage. Last weekend I buy a Tim Horton's coffee as they used to be my favorite coffee. It seemed a little bitter and not as good as I once thought. This...

I'm in the grocery store the other day and there is a kid at the other end of the Supermarket and he is screaming at the top of his lungs and having a fit. Fair enough, kids will be kids. When I was a kid my mom would take me out...

Excuse me but your anger is misdirected....

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 17 Oct 08

In customer service we often take abuse from customers when it is beyond our control. This morning my co-worker so eloquently told someone there anger was misdirected and it stopped them dead in their tracks. I thought it was...

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 16 Oct 08

I am really bad. I wear my bras until they leave me sagging. I wear my undies until the elastic is gone and they are all holey. I am a wait until they have absolutely no life left in them then buy some new ones. Are you like me or...

Why would you want more than one partner in life?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 15 Oct 08

I don't know about you but my hubby is a lot of work. The cooking, the cleaning, the compassion, the disagreements and such. I assume wives are almost as much work. So why in the world would someone want more than one? I read...

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 10 Oct 08

I remember growing up and our recipes were either found in a cookbook or handed down from generation to generation. I have a huge box of cookbooks and recipes but I rarely use them anymore. I feel like cooking something I don't...

Tell my why you aren't voting?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 10 Oct 08

Each election comes and goes and all eligible voters don't vote. I must wonder why? Voting was a hard earned right of women the world over. When I hear a woman say she doesn't vote it makes my blood boil. Don't they realize what...
