You got it aaaaall!!

Here’s me all up in the “kids are going to encounter mean people; not everything has to be handled with KID (ha!) gloves” arena thinking its not always a bad thing to be a little gruff.

Asking a child to improve their work is the opposite of bad parenting. I don’t know when we decided it harms children irrevocably if we ask them to correct errors or improve skills. This is legitimately the only way learning happens. If you’re already good at something you learn Little.

Ooooh. I’m super excited for a Quebec trip!

What’s been your favourite so far? (We’re also planning CDN trips which were on the bucket list but always seemed to get pushed down the list.)

This is why I don’t trust driverless cars or “smart” home appliances.

Undreasonable?

Yes, phone. That is the word I meant. That word which isn’t a word. It’s a typo. Autocarrot is supposed to fix those, not change all my fucks to ducks.

Like, buddy. You are not in control here. You. Are coming to me. To buy used ag equipment. You are in need. I am not. Be fair, and I’ll match you.

I’m not undreasonable. But if I feel like you’re trying to take me for granted, you’re going to pay double what you offered the first time. I don’t care if you can get it cheaper in Wynyard. Go there and get it there then. I can sell this for scrap if need be.

I hate dickering. They’ll say “will you take Z?”

If Z is not an insulting under-offer, I straight up say no. More often than not this smartens them up and they realise I’m not the idiot blonde they thought I was.

“Well will you take Zz?”

I’ll tell them, maybe As, but Zz is not on the table.

“Well when was it purchased?” They’ll ask

“It’s a 1998 [brand name equipment].”

“Well how much did he pay for it?” They’ll ask.

“I have no idea. What he paid for it is irrelevant. This is how much the equipment is being sold for.”

Then they get to dickering. These guys suck at dickering.

“Well it’s been sitting out there how long now?” They’ll ask, when I give them the price.

“The machinery has been used within the last year.”

“Well I could get it for X if I went to Yy”, they’ll say.

“Oh! Excellent! If they have a better price you should go to them.”

…

I’ll accept “cumback” as a superlative reply!

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Martine Je’Maple and Brian Hilstrander in the Stickies-Award-Winning “The Big Snatch”, the riveting sequel to “Log Drivers”.

And has introduced new laws to make drinking in public less illegal (tailgate parties). But human rights? Pfffffeeehhh

ENDS OF BREASTS.

Yes. Well.

Not for me.

Oh Luce.
