Drew's stew.

I have a few things to post, so today it's kinda like a topic stew.

* About my last post. You have to understand how important things like this are to me. I boycotted tuna when I was 11. I lead my first protest at 13. I proudly wore my Greenpeace button everywhere I went and wanted to be in the little boat that goes between the whale and the killers. When I make a stand, I stick to it. It felt like I had betrayed myself when I went into Wal Mart.

* Yesterday, I had my windshield replaced. The shop is only two and a half miles from my house, so I decided to walk instead of bumming a ride. On the way home I passed by the back of a middle school. Behind one of the portables stood four kids grabbing a smoke. As always, the sight saddened me. They just don't know what they are in for.

When I was walking back to pick up my car, the same kids were there doing the same thing.

How can the school staff not know that this is going on? It must be happening every day. It's on school grounds. One more thing to be sad about.

*I have been tagged by Kay to list seven random things about me.

1. It drives me nuts to be behind someone in line at the store and they wait until everything has been rung up before they start to write their check or look for a way to pay for their stuff. It comes as a total surprise to them that they have to pay for their junk. I hate that.

2. I once put an entire Big Mac in my mouth at one time.

3. I do an excellent English accent.

4. I am a total slob.

5. I have read the Bible cover to cover.

6. I like ABBA.

7. I love wearing new socks. If I were rich, I would wear socks only once and then give them to Goodwill.

8. I do all the laundry at my house.

OK, now it's your turn. Patty, Trish, and B. Tag, you're it.

Thought for the day -

You'll never know how much you can fit into your mouth until you try.

It drives me nuts that people USE checks! To pay your electric bill, yes. To buy a bag of chips at the grocery store? No.
