Flies Control

Tea Drinking

Ever since the new cafe opened its door, the spouse is changing over from drinking coffee to tea.  But designer teas from cafe/shop are quite expensive, so the spouse found  tazo chai from cw-usa  which by the way is a lot cheaper and organic too.  She loves it and wants everyone to try it, so [...]

Taken 2

We haven’t watched a lot of movies lately but Taken 2 was not a bad one at all.  If you’ve watched the first Taken, you would like this as well although not as intense as the first movie.  Set in Istanbul, the people who had kidnapped his daughter was coming back for him for revenge.   [...]

Bags For Magic Players

A few months ago, I had to go for a Magic game out of town and searching for a bag to bring to carry all my Magic cards and folders, I ended up using a Sobey’s recyclable bag which the spouse thought was so ugly.  But looking at other players, they too were holding some [...]

Shopping With A Woman

Men and women shop totally differently, like me and the spouse – while she wants to look at some  pedestal bathtubs  when we are in the home furnishing center, I head over to the electronics department to look at HDTV or 3D tvs.  While she looks for clothing for the kids, I will be looking [...]

Shopping Online For The Spouse

The spouse loved buying things online but she doesn’t like using her credit card – she is one of those that is afraid to get her card number stolen, so she makes me buy stuff for her online.  From groceries to  moss ball for your garden  but mostly things for the home and skin care [...]

For The Gamers At The Store

We’ve done custom t-shirts for the Magic The Gathering players who went up to Halifax for their card games – it’s like an investment  – and a walking advertising and even though it wasn’t cheap, I thought that it was alright.  Since winter is coming and the games are still on all year round, maybe [...]
