Do they think it's food or something unsavory is being hidden?Not me.They either won't ship to Canada, or can't ship the two specific things I tried to order - pink sugar body butter and pink sugar sugar scrub.

During my driving test, someone cut me off. I was in the middle of an intersection, and someone cut me off right as the light was turning yellow. I of course stopped, waited for the person to get out of my way, and went, even though the light had turned red. It left me a little unnerved because I didn't want to fail for running a red light, but the driving tester, who was this really nice woman (some of the testers are a little scary), reassured me that as long as I entered the intersection when the light was green, I wouldn't get ticketed, and what the other guy did (he made a left turn when I had right-of-way) was illegal.
So I guess it was on my test. Accidentally, though.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
That's a given.
Bonus - Hubby gets a little overwhelmed by the smells in there, and lets me go in all by myself, with no parental controls.

My mom goes is Basin without me because I too get overwhelmed by the scents (and considering how I react, if I smell something, I turn around and walk the other way. You just never know. I don't shop at Victoria's Secret for the same reason). She always comes out with a bunch of nice stuff. Last time, she bought me a home facial treatment kit. And some lotion which cleared my dry skin right away. Just have to be really careful what products or scents, if any, she gets me.That's a given.

I loved their bath salts as a kid, but they gave me some skin issues, so I had to stop using them.
Can't take bubble baths or anything either.

There are many things I doubt - doubts that keep me up at night; but never, not for a second do I doubt that I am going to Heaven.Good one!

Not sure, but I don't try to bring home the sugar scrub on a plane anymore either.
A couple of trips ago, I was hauled out of line, barefoot and all, and tested for explosives, as my scrub set off some kind of alert.
Then the TSA agent unwrapped my meticulously sealed pot of sugar scrub and tested it too.
(Obviously everything was all cleared, but then every time the plane hit an air picket, I fretted that the oil from the scrub was leaking all over my other carryon items.)
Good thing I was too dumb at the time to realize this was a pretty big deal. If it ever happened again, I'd be carpping my pants. Now I just buy a not-so-yummy-scented scrub on this side of the border.

I know Basin items can be ordered online have you tried that?

Yup. They won't ship my items to Canada.
No matter how many times I shuffle the products in my checkout basket, I keep getting the error message, " One or more of your selected items cannot be shipped internationally".

Well that is a bummer. Maybe we could get @Goofyernmost to smuggle it in for you or use a catapult like they use for pumpkin chunkin.

Very good question. It is hard to demonstrate on paper to give it any real meaning, but, pointing out things that are the codes of Defensive Driving while hands on does make a greater impression, I think. It consists of many small things, but, all add up to getting from point A to point B safely.
They are not "little old lady" things either. Things like covering the brake if you come to an intersection and the lead car at the intersection has not yet stopped. Or when a car is merging on an interstate highway you are already on, you have the right of way, but, if you can, pull over to the lane on your left. Why take chances?
One of the biggest forgotten one is the distance between cars. I always felt that they over estimated the distance and therefore made it hard for people to practice. What they always failed to include in stopping time vs. distance is that the car in front of you has the same stopping time as you do, being alert will allow you time to brake with less space (unless of course the car in front hits a wall and stops dead), but, and this is important, having enough space to stop or take evasive action. There's a million small things that enter into it like being sure your mirrors and all your windows are clear of ice and snow or anything that hinders 360 degree vision.
One other very much overlooked thing that applies to both male and female drivers is to know your car and it's sounds. By that I mean, know where all the instrument panel switches, knobs and buttons are by heart. Looking for them at 60 miles an hour is a recipe for disaster. By sounds, I mean what normal noises does you car make while traveling, be that road/tire noise, engine and brake noises. Knowing the norm can very often save you from accidents due to part failures or save one from very costly repairs. My sister always bragged about the fact that whenever her car made a strange noise she just turned the sound up on the radio to drown it out. Not the best idea ever.
There are many books out on that stuff now, but, unfortunately, now that I am retired I have lost track of titles and such. Oh, yea....KEEP THE D AMN CELL PHONES IN YOUR POCKET. Reply once you have stopped and as a continuation of that though, whenever you see someone driving while holding a phone to their ear be prepared for anything to happen cause something probably will.

Thank you for the info. When my daughter gets home I'm going to have her read your post to see how much is familiar to her. I can tell you I'm very guilty of stopping too close to cars at stop lights. I like the part of getting in your left lane to not take chances with merging traffic. Thanks again.

I'm pretty sure that based on the number of times that you cross the border, I would bet that they have your picture posted on every wall of their break room. I've never known the Canadian Border people to give two hoots about what (or whom) was brought into Canada. The US Border people do a lot of profiling as well, and I might add has done so for years.

then they should ticket the dumb aholes who were tailgating them too close and too fast.
I remember when In texas, people tend to drive way too close to you on highways.
Didnt they actually teach them that theres a separation required between cars depending on speed?
