This is geared mainly toward my Canadian friends. I was at Tim Horton's today having lunch with a friend. They have roll up the rim to win going on which means (for those who don't know) you can roll up the rim and win a huge variety of prizes. I stood in line thinking, I don't even really want a coffee but hey I could win a prize! So order a coffee hoping to win but ending up drinking half of it and then rolling up the rim to find.please play again. Just like my life in the Casino's but it only cost me $1.35 instead of $300.00. My girlfriend, over lunch started to complain that she never even won a cup of coffee on the roll up to win game. I began to wonder about you guys and what you all would think about the game. (sounding American now)

Please share

Hi Rainie, I say "to thine ownself be true!" If it feels okay to you, don't sweat it. Life is too short. If it doesn't feel right don't do it.
Keep on keeping on, Dear Friend. Hugs, ~E

I just love that you ask because it obviously tweaked you and that means you are being mindful and watchful but I also agree with Atticus and if it felt ok, go for it. I think I will stay away from any sort of competitive, prize type thing for a while iiregardless. It's just too soon for me. That's why I won't even play candy crush but play word twist games on yahoo or instead.
