Vanity plates, for a not too bad a fee, the provincial government will let you personalize your licence plates.
For some it’s to let the world know what they do, what they think, and in some cases it’s an ego booster.

What vanity plates are missing from our streets and highways?

When was the last time you received a postcard? It seems the trend is to send e-mails along with a picture of the sender standing by a landmark, wherever they are.
Somehow getting the postcard seems to be preferable to some. They don’t have to stare at a picture of their friend standing where they wish they could be!
Why is it some buy a retirement home, spend a small fortune fixing it up and then decide they don’t want to retire and live in that house?
As one of the guys at the poker table put it, “why is it when some co-workers go on vacation, those that stay on the job also get a break.and when that vacation ends so does their break?
