A Mushroom walks into a bar and the bartender says, “You need to get out of here. We don’t serve your type!”

Hello Friends,
I wasn’t in the mood to blog until I got an email from my beloved husband who is only 20 feet away from me. You see while I was drinking cold coffee in rainy, tornado laden weather  on my way to Dunwoody to pick up my new SUPRA key, Dan was home with fresh brewed [...]

Rebate Special for Big Canoe Buyers!

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

I opened my email this morning and had an offer from Staples, where I usually order my office supplies. They sent me a coupon for $30 off if I spent $200. Sadly I had just ordered well over $200 in toner cartridges and paper a few weeks ago! BUT that ad did get me going [...]

Back to School for Big Canoe
