For a chance to WIN a Palm Pre, tell us who you would like to reconnect with
Yes! You could WIN one!
Maintaining an active social life keeps you feeling young. Staying connected with friends and family is an important way to keep active and healthy.
And these days, we have more ways to stay connected than ever before. Whether you're calling your friends and family, texting them, sending them a quick e-mail, connecting with them on Facebook or even following them on Twitter, there are a lot of ways to touch base with the people who matter most to you.
Who would you most like to reconnect with? Maybe it's a sibling you don't talk to as much as you'd like to. Maybe it's a high school friend you've lost touch with. Perhaps you'd like to be closer to your grown children. Or maybe you long to be reconnected with a long-lost love.
For a chance to WIN a Palm Pre™ smart phone, just Subscribe To This Blog and post a reply telling us about who you'd like to reconnect with and why. The Palm Pre™ is valued at $149.95 on a three-year contract or $599.95 without a contract with a minimum 500 MB data plan. You have until Monday, December 7 to let us know. I'll announce the winner here on Tuesday, December 8.
I can tell you from first-hand experience that these Palm Pre™ smart phones are super-fab. The Palm folks let me try one out and suddenly my husband and I were e-mailing each other constantly while he was out-of-town on business. Plus, I developed a closer bond with my sister-in-law, who's a rampant texter.
If I could reconnect with anyone, it would be my folks. Even though we talk on the phone almost daily, if I could get them using a smart phone like this, we could also text each other, e-mail each other more often and instantly exchange photos. What fun!

I would like to reconnect with my roomates from teacher's college. I miss them.

I would love to reconnect with my brother who lives in BC.
He's lived out there for years and we hardly get a chance to chat.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:26 pm
I would like to reconnect with my husband. We've been married for 5 years and in that time we've had three kids. We have a 4 year old, a 2.5 yr. old and a 6 month old. Life is a little bit (who am I kidding, it's a lot more) crazy and it's gotten harder to have a conversation. We used to fire emails back and forth all day long, but now I barely make it onto the computer. Maybe a new phone would help us keep in touch better during the day when he's at work and I'm at the park with the kids. It would only work though if I made sure that it didn't get flushed down the toilet. It seems everything ends up in the toilet somehow. Maybe we should try reconnecting there?

I would like to reconnect with my friends in Sweden. I lived there for 12 years and I miss them a lot.
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:24 am
I would reconnect with all my loved ones, family long lost friends, cousins ect ... I don't like talking on the phone so this would be the perfect way to reconnect with them.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:00 am
I grew up in Hamilton Ontario and my parents decided over the summer of '93 (i was going into high school) that we were moving to the Kingston area. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to my friends and most of my family. I am still in this area and a single mom working two jobs so it is very hard to find the time to stay connected with the people we left behind.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:26 am
I would love to reconnect with my grade 4 teacher, Mr. Brown. He really inspired me to learn and to cope with a new English speaking culture. If I could, I wish I could tell him thank you for being a great teacher to me, and that I turned out all right!
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:39 am
I would love to connect with my sisters.They are "texters". it seems since mom and dad died we talk so little. this sounds like a fun gadet to have.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:10 am

November 3rd, 2009 at 10:35 am
My oldest good friend Dave who moved to B.C, a whole province away!! I am now house bound with hardly any mobility so going to visit is out of the question. Texting and photo oh that would be so great.
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:36 am
I am a suscriber...I would love to reconect with my family in England and be able to send pics of the kids to them . I often mean to but being busy with 4 kids can;t seem to find the time. I think this would make it easier
November 3rd, 2009 at 11:16 am
I want to keep up-to-date with technology so that my grown children will be impressed. I notice that since I retired I haven't really kept up with much except email. This would be another great way to stay connected.
November 3rd, 2009 at 11:18 am
I would like to reconnect with my nieces and nephews. They all seem to communicate via cell phones and texting, I am totally out of the loop with what is happening with them.
November 3rd, 2009 at 11:37 am
I would like to connect with good friends from my younger years that I lost contact with when I started a Family.
November 3rd, 2009 at 11:39 am
I'd like to reconnect with my ex-friend Paul. We became fast friends, like my brother from another mother. We got into an argument over something really stupid, angry words were said and we parted ways.
I did send him an apology letter for the things I said, but he never responded.
Probably one of the biggest regrets of my life.
November 3rd, 2009 at 11:44 am

It's been too long!
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:15 pm

November 3rd, 2009 at 12:25 pm
My wife's PARENTS!! We see them twice a year for a couple of hours and phone several times a week. They are still living in the 1970's...no computer, no cell, no cable, no dishwasher, a tv from 1978 that gets 2 channels. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. I know they'd love it once they give it a shot. I'd give the Palm Pre to them so that they could email us (our 8 yr old daughter always has something to say!) and get them on Facebook so that they could keep in touch with my wife's aunt & uncle who are both ill and have constant updates on their conditions. Please help me bring my inlaws into the 2000's!!
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:40 pm
I would love to reconnect with my old childhood friend. We lived two doors down from each other, but once she moved we went to different schools and didn't get the chance to hang out again. I know that she's around somewhere in the same city but it would be great to catch up.
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:42 pm
I would like to connect with an ex GF. Even though things didn't work out between us I still have many fond memories of our time together.
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I would love to re-connect with my sister. Even though she is my half sister I always felt a special bond with her. Over the years we drifted apart and the fact that she lives in another province sure didn't help. If I could just be able to communicate with her more I know we could re-ignite that special bond that seams so lost in time.
November 3rd, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I would love to connect with my mom and sister who living in AB. Since my husband, daughter and I have moved out to BC 2.5yrs ago we have not talked and I miss them. I would love to be able to send them photos and send texts.
November 3rd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
I would love to reconnect with my mom does Palm Pre call heaven? Realistically no but that will always be my one and only wish. Besides that I would try to reconnect with my moms side of the family.My family lost touch with them due to my fathers depression over tragedies that kept happening to our family. Now that I'm an adult I feel its my duty to reconnect with what little family I have left. As family is the most important thing in this world and being connected to them would make our family feel connected again.
November 3rd, 2009 at 2:11 pm

November 3rd, 2009 at 8:00 pm
It would have to be this girl named Tammy (I'll leave her last name out as she may not appreciate me posting it)...but I've tried to look for her, and she was just a great girl...we were young and would hang out when I visited Edmonton (I live in Winnipeg)...I just know she turned out to be a fine woman! :)So, Tammy if you see this, LOL, I'm thinking of you and Toby's not a common name, so you'll figure it out quickly enough!!
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:57 pm

November 3rd, 2009 at 9:01 pm
When I was 13 years old my parents sent me away to camp for the summer. They were going through some tough times and needed time to themselves to fix things. I left to camp alone, sad and didn't know a soul. When I got to the camp my counsilor helped me fit in. She was there for me when I was afraid and lonely for my familly. When I left camp she gave me her number but I lost the paper. Til this day I still try to find her to thank her for what she did for me that summer. I will never forget her and would love to get in touch with her. I will never give up trying.

I would love to reconnect with my college roommate. We now live on opposite sides of the country and never get a chance to meet. A phone would help bridge the gap.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:24 am

November 4th, 2009 at 2:15 am

November 4th, 2009 at 5:17 am
I want to reconnect with my family in the Philippines - I live alone in Toronto so talking to them on the phone is the closest I can get to family time.
November 4th, 2009 at 7:25 am
I would love to help my mum reconnect with some of her cousins. She's part of a large group of cousins who used to be so close growing up. These days, everyone is so busy, it seems they never get a chance to get together. She would love to spend time with them all again.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:59 am
I would like to reconnect with a good friend that I grew up with and we have lost touch it has been about 5 years. We live in different cities and this would be one way to surprise her and get things back on track.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:35 am

I would love to reconnect with my best friend who moved to BC 6 years ago. I don't own a cell phone or laptop & she gets frustrated by having to constantly leave voice messages as I am seldom home when she calls. Would love to be able to text or talk to her at anytime.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:02 pm

November 4th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
I know it sounds strange but I would love to reconnect with my boyfriend. We live in different cities and only see eachother on weekends. I don't own a cell, so it would be nice to have this one so we could text eachother during the week!
November 4th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
I would love to connect with all of the people I lost contact with since I retired! It would be great to catch up with them!
November 4th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
I would use it to connect with my daughter who is a student on the other side of Canada from me. When I'm out shopping, I often want to call her and show here something that I might purchase for her or for myself. My kids have been telling me that I need to learn how to text, and this would be the perfect phone with which to do it all.
November 4th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
I would connect more with my new boyfriend who is over 6000 kilometers away, but really he's just text away when I need him.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
My BFF from university, now living in NYC. Miss her tonnes!
November 4th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
I'd like to reconnect with my family & good friends who live in Toronto & Montreal. When I was 16 I moved to BC during a summer break and never said proper good byes. I've also recently found some of my high school classmates from those days thanks to the internet and having such a convenient way to keep in touch would be wonderful!
November 5th, 2009 at 1:18 am

November 5th, 2009 at 8:16 am
I would reconnect with Mr. Rogers, because not to mention never brining up the lint issue (he obviously had polyester hybrided socks), he also had a stain in one episode which I wrote in about and neither he nor his sock puppet minions, wait, that's mr. dress up, why am I writing here? Am I going to win something, because if not, this is baloney. Sandwiches!
November 5th, 2009 at 9:09 am
If I was lucky enough to win this awesome phone, I would actually give it to my eldest daughter so that she ( & my myself) could reconnect with her boyfriend who is going to college in a city a fair distance away from us & he is like a second son to our family! My daughter has loved this phone since it first hit the Canadian market, but she can't understand why nobody is mentioning the built-in mirror?!
We have our fingers crossed!
November 5th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Yes! It does kind of have a have a built in mirror - when you slide the keyboard out, the back of the screen is reflective. You can definitely use it to check your lipstick . . . or make sure there's nothing in your teeth. Very handy.
November 5th, 2009 at 10:21 am
I would love to reconnect with a friend I went to high school with. We had such fun together.
November 5th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
“Dear Cheryl: Hi! My name is Lisa. I saw your name in my Young World pen pal list. I would like to be your pen pal.” That’s how my friendship with Lisa began on August 3, 1974. She was twelve years old and lived in Haskell, New Jersey, East Coast of the U.S.A. I was thirteen years old and lived in Surrey, British Columbia, West Coast of Canada. Three thousand miles and a country separated us, but this was the beginning of several years correspondence that convinced me Lisa was my long lost soul sister. How else could 2 people who have never met write 10 page letters twice a month? Unfortunately sometime in the mid-1980's we lost touch with each other, and the Internet still hasn't reconnected us, though I have spent many hours searching. I've kept her letters all these years and still wonder whatever happened to her.
November 5th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
I would like to reconnect with my cousin who lives in London, Ontario. I love her so much!
November 5th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
I would love to reconnect with a friend that I have known since before starting school. Both of our grannies lived in the same coal mining village in Scotland. Her name is Rose Donohoe. Her married name is Mrs Donald Barkey. As far as I know she went to Australia maybe a few years after I came to Canada in March of 1966. It would be lovely to be back in touch again
November 5th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
I gave it some more thought....I'd like to reconnect with an old high school friend (Lori); we lost contact and I miss her.
November 6th, 2009 at 12:04 am
I'd like to get back in touch with my friend from high school. We had a tiny falling out four years ago & we drifted apart after that. It's been almost five years since we last spoke & I miss her friendship.
November 6th, 2009 at 9:24 am
I'd like to reconnect with my son. He recently moved into his first apartment and decided not to get a land line. So, the only way to reach him is with the cell phone, and he rarely answers anything but text messages, as those are free for him. I'm having trouble with the texting with my simple little phone as it's pretty clumsy, and would like to improve on this issue. The Palm sounds like a great solution.
November 7th, 2009 at 4:30 pm

November 8th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I would love to reconnect with all my friends that I met in acting camp in NYC. We had so much fun and I miss them all so much! If I had a Palm Pre it would be so easy to stay in touch and then I wouldn't have to use my dumb old phone that can't use the web. I would also reconnect with my parents back home now that I'm going to college. I wish it was easier than having to pick the right time to talk to them because of the time zones. A Palm Pre would help me so much!
November 8th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
My second grade teacher who made a big impact on my life, Patricia Elson.

November 8th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I would like to reconnect with the chemo doctor that looked after my mom. He was so kind and kept me informed about her condition in terms that I could understand. He came by daily. My mom was 84 at the time. I was scared and he comforted me and kept reassuring me that she would be ok. When it came time for her discharge he told me that she could not go home and look after herself. He asked where she would be going. My husband and I took my mom in with us and she has been in remission for 1 year now. Her cancer doctor moved from Hamilton to Barrie. I would love to tell him what a great doctor he is and let him know how well my mom is doing.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:36 pm

I would like to re connect with my son who is back East (we live in Calgary) attending University, it would be easier to maintain contact with a busy 18 year old.
November 9th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I'd like to reconnect with someone I knew in 1966-67. His name is Ken Foster and he was from Port Cartier, Quebec, and attended Kings College School, in Windsor, NS. We met at a soccer game at my jr. high. It was a wonderful romance, but eventually, we lost touch and I've always wondered what became of him!
November 9th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
I would love to reconnect with my mom. Since I have 4 children 2 years apart it is hard to talk on the phone. My mom and I used to talk once a week or more for over an hour ach time. But now, she feels like she is disturbing our schedule and when it is finally quiet and I call her she is either out or in bed. We tried the email thing, but the computer is away in a room and she is not that comfortable with it as it isn't hers. If I was to receive the Palm Pre, I would give it to her set up and ready to go so that we can stay in touch easier. I would also set it up for her so that my brother can stay in touch with her as I know he also wishes he could connect with her more often as well.
November 9th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Great site
November 9th, 2009 at 5:22 pm

November 9th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
If I could reconnect with someone it would be my brother! We had a falling out several years ago and to an extent made amends at our Mother's funeral one & a half years ago. However, he, his wife and two young boys live in Vancouver and I do not and never foresee having the means to go and visit. I have never met his children and to be given the chance to actually go to his home, spend time with one another with be truly a priceless gift!
November 9th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I would love to reconnect with all my old pen pals. I so enjoyed the letters back and forth from Australia, Turkey, Italy, and Trinidad. Until reading this contest info, it hadn't occurred to me to look them up on facebook...I'll be doing that now.

November 10th, 2009 at 9:48 am
I would like to reconnect with a childhood friend who recently lost her mother to cancer. Despite the fact that we live within a few hours of each other, we are so caught up in our own daily goings on that we haven't managed to keep in touch. I feel terrible that I didn't make more of an effort to be there for her when she was going through a time of crisis and hurt.
November 10th, 2009 at 10:48 am
I would like to reconnect with alot of my relatives in P.E.I. and in northern Ontario.I am a little old school still when it comes to technology.My daughter couldn't believe it when she saw me on face book, the Palm Pre in my hands would make my children proud to see their mother with some of the 2000 technology. Thanks for the chance.

If I won this phone I would love to reconnect with my girlfriend Merla who I became very close to when we met after our mothers died of cancer. Her friendship and support has always ment the world to me and I miss our times together.
Thank you

I would like to reconnnect with my high school friends. We have scattered all across North America and it is difficult to stay in touch.

I would like to reconnect with family that I only met when I was a child. My dad just passed this year and his family is too far away. I would really like to be able to reconnect with my cousins that I barely remember.

I would like to reconnect with my four year old nephew who is going through a particularly chatty phase right now.

I miss my old school chums, who all went to a different university.

I would love to reconnect with my father. Growing up, I was the son he didn't have. We fished and hiked as often as possible. We did so much together. He now lives in B.C. and unfortuneatly his new wife doesn't like him in contact with his daughters. Seems he usually is fishing when I call and I don't get a call back....I wish we could talk without interference... He's getting older and I worry. I miss him so much.

I would love to reconnect with a young soldier whom I met in a backpackers in New Zealand. He recently sent me a letter telling me he had returned from his weapons training in Indonesia and then was studying music. We met for a few hours, but his presence still remains.

I like to keep in touch with quite a list of people, and I lack Twitter skills.
November 12th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
My family call me constantly now that I am retired. I have many people to keep in touch with while doing rennovations on my home and my son's too.

I'd like to reconnect with my best friend Regina from high school. I miss her so much.

I would like to keep in touch with my only surviving sibling- a sister two provinces away.

I would love to reconnect with my friend Julie. I met Julie in grade 7 and our friendship and many adventures continued until we were about 26 years old. Julie moved out west to Kelowna, B.C. to stay with a friend for awhile and then she decided to stay there. She has come back to Toronto once or twice when her mother still lived here but then she moved her mom out west too. We had a junior high school reunion this summer since we all turned 50 years old in 2009. Sadly, Julie was unable to make the trip back here and I really, really want to see her big blue eyes again and stay up all night remembering and laughing about all our fun times together. Since that may not happen I would love to phone her and listen to a comforting voice from my youth.

I would like to reconnect with my professors and thesis supervisor -- since I graduated I don't see them any more.

I would love to reconnect with a old friends, one special friend in Quebec who I haven't seen in 20 years. I speak to her on Facebook but would love to actually see her again someday soon. Another friend in New Brunswick who is expecting a new baby girl in April 2010. Don't get to talk to her much and I miss her so much, wish i could share her pregnany with her as she was there for mine.
November 15th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
I work out of town and miss my new wife and dog.I want the easy way to communicate with them through the day.
November 15th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
this would be perfect for my teenage daughter so she can keep in contact with me when she is out with her friends.. and i now she is safe

I would love to reconnect with my sister who lives on the other side of the country (Calgary)- I always find myself with little questions - what sizes are the kids wearing now - what games, books, etc... are they interested in - it would just be nice to be more in touch with their daily lives ........
November 16th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
The person I really want to connect with would be my son! He left our family home to go to University, and connecting with him is far and few between. The empty nest syndrome really hits home!

I would like to reconnect with my fathers family in Newfoundland. We have never met but have talked on the phone once in a while. My remaining aunt is nearly 85 and won;t be around much longer and neither will my uncle. I have cousins that i have never met out there and i would like to get the chance to reconnect with them. Family is important.
November 16th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
I would love to be able to connect to my two grown sons who live in the Kingston and I haven't seen them in over three years. We don't call as often as we'd like as they don't have a long distance plan and their texting is limited to the occassional message. We do send email back and forth, but it would be nice to be able to have a phone that I could text them or even give to them to text me.
November 16th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
I would like to reconnect with my brothers and sisters who are all over the place east and west of me it's been along time and wrer not getting any younger!!!! miss them all

My young sister got married and moved away to New Zealand. I haven't seen her in nearly 20 years.
And with the time and date difference between Canada and NZ, not to mention the cost, it's next to impossible to talk with her.
A Palm Pre would be the ultimate way to keep in frequent touch with my "baby" sister.
November 16th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
It would be nice to catch up with some of my former coworkers. Mostly, I would love to have a smart phone because I tend to disappear on extended shopping/etc. trips (we don't have a car, so I walk or bus everywhere), and my husband sometimes worries about where I am if I forget to update him.
November 16th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
I would like to re-connect with all the people i know that don,t live nearby,you see,I'm a pensioner who is a lookyloo.When I'm walking in the mall i look at all the mobile kiosks and stores and dream of the possibilities these devices could help me to re-connect with those I've lost touch with.Guess you could say The Palm Pre can help make dreams come true.Here's to dreaming.Good luck to everyones dreams and have a Great Day.

I would love to reconnect with my best friend from high school. We haven't seen each other in 20 years and I miss her terribly!
November 16th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I would love to reconnect with the girl I met first day of highschool - we were the closest of friends until life and family got too busy and too far away - I think of her often and miss her dearly.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
I would love to talk to the kids l babysat when l was younger!!!!!
November 16th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
I would like to reconnect with my two special (bff)friends from grade school (40+ years now). We have all moved far apart and talk to each other occasionally over the years.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:33 am
I would like to reconnect with my dad. The last time I saw him he didn't recognize me...he still thinks I'm a little girl which I'm not anymore. it would be nice to spend some time with a man who I call my father and he acted like one.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:42 am
I would like to reconnect with my mom, half-brother, and half-sister. Our relationship fell apart due to my reluctance to have anything to do with the father of my brother and sister. I have very good and valid reasons for this but my family has slowly over time stopped talking to me. Also my mom has taken up her husband's religion which I am fine with (although I don't want to join up myself) but I think these things combined over time has given my family a poor excuse for cutting me off unfortunately. I have tried reaching out to my family repeatedly over the years since pressing charges against the step-father but I guess perhaps in their minds it is easier to just pretend I am not there. Sigh.

My heart yearns to reconnect with my friend Peggy. She was such an amazing and talented young person and I never had the chance to tell her how much her artistic nature touched me.She moved to another province and I lost touch. Now that I am older and married, I have an adopted daughter who is also beautiful and gifted. I wish I could tell Peggy all about my daughter and ask her about her two girls.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:16 am
I would love to reconnect with my mom. We live in the same house but over the past four years, our relationship has gone sour. It is sad that there is no external device that may actually make this possible. She has her pride anad I have mine.

I would love to reconnect with friends and co-workers. Being disabled with severe chronic pain and mobility issues limits a person's ability to socialize and to have a sense of normalcy. Some days I feel like Rip Van Winkle.
November 19th, 2009 at 11:04 am
I would like to reconnect with my parents, we live far away from one another, so it is hard to stay as close as I would like.
November 19th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I would like to reconnect with family and friends who were just like family. I moved out of province 20+ years ago but recently moved back and would like to keep in touch more.

I would reconnect with my friend who now lives in England.
