Since I'm always raving about Wawa coffee over Tim's, and because I can be unoriginal at times, I've decided to change my avatar from our two nations flags to a cup of Wawa coffee. Thanks for the idea flames! I know this kind of info doesn't warrant a new post, but I've got time to kill until my fiancee calls tonight.

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

That's because we like our coffee strong. It doesn't need to say "Always Fresh/Toujours Frais" because it aways is. ^_^

Do you get Wawa where you are? I know they're in VA Beach.

I changed mine in a particularly paranoid moment when I realized I was showing my own face instead of a cartoon or movie star or sunset like everybody else.

The smiling moron is "Tillie," a weird graphic above an amusement arcade in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The town went to hell in a handbasket but when it was suggested that Tillie be torn down, there was a protest bigger than Save-the-Whales.

I think he does a fine job of protecting my identity while representing a bizarre and sometimes grotesque culture, which I happen to love. Nothing like 38 years in Canada to make you fully appreciate The Shore, Taylor Pork Roll, and the State with the most diners!

Glad to see everyone got in the spirit, all because of flames9. :)

I never thought about how much sugar I put in coffe(I've weaned myself down to one in a 12 oz), but reading a post about the high fructose corn syrup and seeing how my in-laws to be try to limit there sugar, I think about it a little more. Dunkin Donuts coffee is almost too sweet now, but that doesn't stop me.
