Taking shoes off at peoples homes...

ha ha! I'm so gonna remember not to touch the stuff. My daughter told me that no matter what the desire you can buy it off the shelf in Canada ... Ummmmmmm perhaps I should rephrase that ... If it's edible, drinkable it can be bought!
We have sachets / pouches of stuff for colds too but most Kiwi's would grab a few lemons, squeeze the juice into boiling water add a tbsp vinegar and that helps cure a coldCheap and easy if you have a lemon tree
Yes, that's what I should have done. Neo Citran is not prescription, but for people like me, it should be. Had the house caught fire, I'm not sure I would have wanted to climb out of bed. Ok OK, I'm exaggerating, Neo Citran isn't that bad.
But if you're looking at replacing one addiction to depressant drugs for another, Neo Citran might be your thing. Perfectly legal, non-prescription, can buy it at the pharmacy, and as far as I know, it doesn't show up on a breathalizer test.
wow! Sounds like crazy stuff! I don't need those Neo pouches to be silly or drugged, ha! I'm high on life all the time!
I don't drink or smoke or take antidepressants.. YIKES! Imagine if I did! 8O
LMAO! Fair enough! Gotta look after what god blessed you with
just in case you didn't know women here are termed "birds"
Oh, women don't perform bodily function in our hair in Canada too to the best of my knowledge. I was referring to real birds, you know, the two-winged flying critters that go tweet tweet and, well, drop their load whenever they feel like it.

That's good news. If kiwi women did, you'd havean interesting country indeed.

I know about 30-40 years ago the expression was common for women in Old Blighty.

My kids used to get asked occasionally "what's your mother on"? My kids would say our Mum is always so cool! define cool? ha!
It is a wonderful way to be, not addicted to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes or anti D's ... Life is a high if you let it be
What a shame you are not closer DG would have been awesome to meet you in person and a few of the others here too. Perhaps when I make the move there and officially get settled in we could put together a meet and greet. Would be awesome!
Ahhh that would be so sweet. I'm always all over the country. From Newfoundland to British Columbia! Who knows? We could give it a thought if I'm in your area or vise versa!
I must say that I'm having "the time of my life" here in the forum and yes, I agree, there are many awesome people here! Wouldn't it be nice to meet and greet each other folks?? I'd take my shoes off and not wear my coat, promise! LOL

well let's stay in touch and see how we go closer to the time. I would love to make some nice friends before I move over
would be fun I'm sure, we'd certainly get a few laughs! Guaranteed!
What a neat question Kiwi.
The easiest way to answer it is that we are unaccustomed to wearing shoes indoors in Canada.
Being in Canada, keep in mind, that half the year is weather in which you can't just traipse in with shoes on, because they are snowy. Taking them off, and putting on slippers in their stead, becomes habit, and that habit carries over. Plus, as part of our endeavours to remain warm, we have carpeting instead of hardwood, etc., and wearing shoes on it makes it hard to clean.
Keeping your shoes on for a Christmas visit would be something you wouldn't have done, no matter what your custom at home, because they would be wet and unsuitable for treading on your hostess's carpet.
Take a nice pair of slippers or indoor shoes with you. No one objects to slippers (or no one sane at least?), and clean indoor shoes are common for people who need arch support for working in the kitchen, etc.
Oh, and, take a sweater with you too, since eating supper in your parka is something else we've gotten out of the habit of. :smile:
