Wherein a child is traumatized...

[Sandiercy]

That explains everything -_-

I used to live in the Lower Mainland - started in Vancouver and eventually ended up in Chilliwack before I moved clear across Canada. I remember once when I was working at a gas station in Surrey one of our regulars was a working girl named Bubbles...and we used to tell her that she couldn't bend over when she came in to buy anything because nobody wanted to see *shudder* that...

Wait wait wait, I know a girl named "Bubbles" and yes, you need a LOT of around her.

You are from Vancouver too? If so, nice to know that there are some of us on here.

Nanaimo actually, but went to school at BCIT and spent quite a bit of time out and about Vancouver/ the lower mainland. I just moved to New Hampshire in Nov.

West Vancouver, BC (Davie St) - if you know the area, that's all that needs to be said.

Former Vancouverite here, and Davie St. is NOT in West Vancouver - West Vancouver is on the other side of the harbour. On the other hand, it IS in the western part of downtown.

Interesting fact: back when Vancouver had streetcars instead of buses, there was ONE "Grand Union" (nothing to do with labour relations - means an intersection where for all 4 approaches, a streetcar can go left, right, or straight), and it was at Hastings & Main. Needless to say, that neighbourhood has gone downhill a LONG way since those days.

I got one of those goldfish at an event at college one time (Earth Day). Named him Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Khomeini (I was a history major and he had to come to Middle East Studies with me). He had one eye when I got him and was all brown. He's two years old now, all gold, and likes to "pretend" to be dead to scare the crap out of me. I'm fairly certain he's probably protected under Islam and won't die for quite some time. (Hopefully anyway.)

Hopefully your fish won't try to stick dynamite on it's chest as a way of "going to paradise." I'd watch your fish carefully!

Op- Awww! Poor you, and poor kid!
I made a lil girl cry once when I asked her nicely to not play on the metal shop display because she might hurt herself. It wasn't the "Waah mummy that lady was mean to me, make her stop!" kind of crying, more the "A lady I don't know told me off, I must have been bad, now I'm scared!" type. I was so embarrassed! The mum didn't mind at all tho- I think her daughter was a bit shy, and she knew I only asked her nicely to stop.

Fishnets on men- Umm, if they have legs like Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, then I don't mind at all! XD

Well, Robert Vaughn didn't look too shabby wearing fishnets (and a teddy) in the film "S.O.B." back in the early 80's.
