So my wife is off in philly with one of her friends enjoying the weekend. So its a good time to clean (yes I'm a clean freak) Came to one cupboard and there sits a big tin of TIM HORTONS ground coffee!! I have had it since I first arrived in the USA--DEC 2004!! And to be honest, the canned stuff (at least to me) doesnt taste very well. So I did the unthinkable--I threw it out!! Now I feel soo bad,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Some people won't even travel outside of Canada because Tim's isn't where they are going!! LOL

OMG...I'm sitting here, freaking out to Bo on the phone that I need to find a decent cup of coffee in Raleigh, and you threw out the Tims..*passes out*

When I drove to Maine to get Bo back in March, I stopped at the US Tims...I swear, everything is bigger..their lg is our extra large, and their donuts tasted better!

I wonder if I could make the money back opening one up in NC? lol

I worked there for 4 years...woo don't miss that, but I just couldnt give up the coffee..

Bo thinks I overreact when i talk about Tims and how much I'm gonna miss it, now I can show him just how many people agree with me!
