Tim's Rim Roller

Have you seen the new Rim Roller device to help you roll up your rim on your favorite Tim Horton Coffee Cup. I saw these today at the local Zellers Store and they are being sold for 2.49, this is an interesting marketing gimmic on one of the best marketing promotions in Canada. Everyone loves RRRRRoll up the RRRRRRim to win. This little divice goes down over the side of you cup and when you pull it up it cuts the sides and pull up the rim to reveal your play again (oops I mean prize). What do you think of this idea, I'd love to hear your opinion.

Real or Fake?

Got your attention now don't I...I am talking about plants, what preferance do you have? I would have to say I prefer the look of live plants with the exception of the maintance of them, sometimes the plants around here end up a little brown before we remember to water them,LOL. My favorite plants would be ones that remind me of my childhood, my Grandmother always had this great big Christmas Cactus that always bloomed beautiful pink flowers. My mother always had a collection of Spider Plants I always thought they were neat with the little baby spiders growing. It can bring back great memories when I see either of those plants, I had a Christmas cactus for years and I put it through a ton of punishment with many moves and eventually it died. I have never got a spider plant and one day maybe I'll get one of those in the house.

Dream Vacations

My wife and I are beginning to plan an exotic vacation for just the two of us, we have never even had our real honeymoon yet. We both decided that we would like to have an exciting vacation filled with romance, great food, beach, sunbathing and starlight nights. It was important for us to find an option that could find all these criteria. Karisma Hotels offer various vacation options to meet everyones desires and wants. One interesting option is that they also have a site dedicated to families with activites focusing on kids needs and interests while still having interesting things for the parents to do as well. We have begun to look into destination weddings for a wonderful exotic opportunity

Hands Free


Recently it was announced that our province of Nova Scotia will be going hands free as of April 1st this year. What's your opinion on this? I personally would have to admit to having used the cell phone while driving more than once and will certainly agree it is a distraction from the road. I think it is a great idea to eliminate the temptation to use the phone while driving. I got caller display on my phone so if it happens to ring while driving I can either pull over and call back or wait until I get to where I am going before answering. There are other great ideas to like the blue tooth that you can use so you can talk and still keep your hands where they need to be. Sometimes though even the conversation can be the distraction depending on what the situation is so that one is pretty hard to police how do you ban speaking in a vehicle. Give me your opinion on this topic, I would love to hear different views.
