Who Needs'em

For a year.........
  ............ I'm boycotting Sears, Walmart, Target & KMart  .  And I'm doing this because they opened on Thanksgiving Day.  There are many who feel it's the present day destruction of the family and America.  You can dress it up and parade it around and it's none other than old fashioned GREED.

 But what if the majority figured out by buying from those stores during both a major American  Holiday,  and  other times as well,  they aren't really adding to the bettering of our society at all. 

Couldn't we  help our country more by heading to our small businesses, the mom and pop stores?
Here is a website of the list to businesses in the USA, it's called, Americans Working-support them, you're supporting America when you do.

You can sit and roll your eyes, call me a loon, say what good will it do---- you're one in a million and that's big business.  You're a fleck.  You're  a bee in a field of daisies.  You're one rolled up piece of paper in a landfill.

BUT  I"M NOT!!!

and.. you have to begin somewhere. 

We have to stand up for the family and  I'm sure gonna try.....

Poor Sam Walton, must be spinning  to China and back and I don't mean from all the out sourcing of our jobs either.

I haven't been to the big Walmart in years only the Neighborhood Market for groceries, but  even that has now come to an end.  I'll only go to Publix,  from now on.

Obviously, corporate made these decisions, and I keep hearing and reading how they justify  it by saying,  there are those who  don't have family, and others need the money, etc.  

What about a day off to celebrate America, however they choose. 

 What about saving energy by not using all that power lighting the stores, air conditioning, heating, gas,  people  going to and from work...etc. 

 Don't even talk to me about going green.  Bull honkey.

If they want to be open, how about opening the doors and celebrating your workers, treating them like they matter, give them a turkey or a ham or feed the hungry.

Boycotting is the only way to make a difference with these big stores who think they own the world.  Sacrifice by not buying that potential land fill item, you might be glad you did.  Do yourself a favor turn off the TV too, they only hammer with things ya don't need, their goal is to make you feel like you can't live another day without....cereal....imagine the guilt when you can't buy the latest electronic device.

There needs to be balance.
All the stores you're seeing are American made products, go to that website you'll be very surprised by what you find.  Don't dawdle do it!

Move over Moon Doggie

With all the planning and hustle and bustle, just about everyone sitting down to partake of the festivities at the dinner table will slave over stoves and spend money on too much food for such a short amount of time consuming mass quantities. (that makes me think of The Coneheads lol)  Then, we'll promptly fall asleep only to wake up feeling like it never happened, to start all over again only this time you won't be able to consume more than a few bites .  I could go on and on, we've all been there, and we'll all experience the same thing we intend on not doing because we've been there.  ha!


Goodness, vicious circles.


I just baked pumpkin bread for a friend and I haven't touched it.  I wholeheartedly considered it but changed my mind.
I also baked a cake and tasted it and then tasted a cake the neighbor lady sent over, I tasted it twice and the second time I put a small amount of Haagen dazs vanilla on it.  I emphasize the small because that was the only thing tiny in the room.  "I had sugar sugar and maple syrup" or that's what it seems.  You wouldn't know I had hardboiled eggs, tomatoes and avocados for dinner. So much for good intentions.  I somehow got sideswiped by the sugar express.  It's not even Turkey Day and I feel like I've failed me.  Well dear a change is gonna come.  I suppose this reads like I'm still in a sugar coma, for me it's my 70s version of getting high only on a legal substance of the white stuff...sugar...It should be illegal.  Of course that would make it even more enticing for some, especially for those who live on the edge.  Can you imagine, a figure  in  a  raincoat,  light overhead,  the street still wet from the rain, sugar cubes in different inside pockets  ready to distribute?  Or worse yet plain brownies.  It could happen--in your dreams.


I suppose that's tradition in itself, stuffing ourselves only to look like the poor bird we've just consumed.  I say let's move Turkey Day to the middle of summer.  It would be much better on the waist line, we'd be far too hot to eat all the heavy starchy food.

 Salads.  We could eat Salads, we would stuff ourselves on the green stuff and all the veges.  The turkeys might appreciate it too

Then by Christmas we would have thinned out enough to indulge on half a cake, and a gallon of cookies.  

Sounds good to me.

Moon Doggie move over, Salads on,  and the Surf's up

Oh and Have a very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
