Chatting At Grocery Store

Filed under: Amusing/Musing, Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 8:02 pm

I’m sure we all meet friends/enemies and wat nots.. in a grocery store more than anywheres else in the world. And so it was an afternoon of chats .. with a few women meeting up.. not planned . .while getting our groceries before the sun went down. And to my surprised.. not everyone knows about what is going on around town at all. Yup..! you heard me right..! right where we lived.. and some are not aware of our surroundings..??

How do one save a town.. when its ppl are not even made aware of what is going on..??

Big Ben Here We Come

Filed under: Uncategorized, Vacations/Travel - Mama BoK @ 7:36 pm

The Big Ben is one of London’s best-known landmarks, and looks most spectacular at night when the clock faces are illuminated. You even know when parliament is in session, because a light shines above the clock face. London is one of the most historical places that I’ve been to. It’s abit of the old mixes with the new and the grandeur feeling that one gets when you step into Heathrow Airport .. is quite the overwhelming.

Whether you are visiting the museums, or the historic houses, or praying at St Paul’s Cathedral, or just to admire the architecturer magnificent of the dome, you will surely love London. London welcomes travelers of all ages and all budgets, if you are looking for cheap hotels, to suit your budget, London has plenty to offer and definitely worthy to check out.

But if you are on a business trip, hotels in London are aplenty and you can pick and choose any London accommodation, that you like best. Well whether you are in London for business or pleasure, don’t forget to try their famous fish and chips in newspapers. I assure you, that they are very hygienic.. and definitely a must to try..!

Gas Prices Continues To Go Up

Filed under: Business/Career, Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 12:17 am

“Prices at the gas pumps were 12.7 per cent higher than they were in September of last year. That was because of a sudden drop in gas prices a year ago rather than any increase between August and September, Statistics Canada said.

With gas prices going up again this year due to inflation, that would mean . .that we are going to have a very expensive winter too. If you are like us.. and owns a store.. or two… it is definitely gonna be a hard winter. So how do one survive..?? there is really no way to. How can a small business like ours.. compete with Walmart..?? no way..! heating the store will cost us a big fortune .. on top of everything. .we have to pay for power, internet.. inventory and phone bills, bill for the swiping machine.. bill to clean the glass windows, bill to garbage collector, bills to keep the inventory at a decent level and of course the rent and employees.

Property Investment

Filed under: Business/Career, Useful Links 101, Home Furnishing - Mama BoK @ 12:13 am

With the loonie soaring everyday against the US$, this is the best time for the Canadians to invest in American property. For many years, I’ve seen the Americans taking the boat across from Maine and staying in their summer houses here in Nova Scotia because of their high currency. About time, we Canadians go over and invest some of our good/real money over the American soil.

Long Island NY real estate, has a complete listing for Nassau County and the Long Island area as well as the Suffolk and Queens County. With a team of professionals to help you select the best properties and work with you from the viewing to the closing, i’m sure you will find them most efficient and totally reliable. So if you are thinking of investing, like we are and taking advantage of the exchange rate, now is the time.

Yes.. the people has spoken.. ! 9 outta 10 person we spoke to at our store.. is not for the new municipality building .. but has the people been heard..?? Folks are writing to the local papers .. asking the town.. to re-consider and to set their priority right..! at least 4 letters has been published.. and i’m sure many more feels the same.. but not doing anything.

To me.. it’s a very sad situation here. There is nothing i can do.. nor it seems to .. for others here too.. because apparently even the tender for the new building was not an open one..?? I was shocked..! and appalled .. but that’s the understatement of the year. I am sure.. alot of ppl from this small town feels the same too.. shocked and appalled. But since I am not a citizen in Canada.. and my hopes are to go back to Asia with PB .. more now.. because of this situation here.. i am not saying a thing.
