This is my 101st post! Blogging goes by so fast.
I have really started to notice all of the CRAP filling up the stores. I use to be a consumer of CRAP. I use to be a buyer of CRAP. But now when i am at the store and i look around at the many isles of items... i start to get angry and then that anger turns into an almost "panic" of where the world is going. So i pondered the question to my family the other day (to which they gave no solid answer). "If tomorrow the store stopped selling 5 items, those items would be gone forever, what would you be OK with never being able to purchase again?" So here is my answer, and mine is grocery only for this purpose of the question.

Sharing some more blog love; Knock Knock is wonderfully full of beautiful life images!

Who's following you? In the land of twitter, you are who follows you. I have to admit to rather boring updates... my life just is not that interesting to most people in a play by play mode. But i am up to 76 followers! And even though that is no where near the amount that is following say, Ashton Kutcher, i feel pretty good that more than 5 people enjoy what i say ;-)

Gelatinous form. something about winter... it makes me feel all lazy and wiggly in areas! Soon i will be back to t shirts that are not covered up by baggie sweatshirts and these issues will be more than just me feeling wiggly! I miss warm weather, i just do not seem to get out as much in the winter... which leads to lazy days watching TV and playing on the computer, which leads to wiggly areas. Stupid winter!

Consumerism!
I have really started to notice all of the CRAP filling up the stores. I use to be a consumer of CRAP. I use to be a buyer of CRAP. But now when i am at the store and i look around at the many isles of items... i start to get angry and then that anger turns into an almost "panic" of where the world is going. So i pondered the question to my family the other day (to which they gave no solid answer). "If tomorrow the store stopped selling 5 items, those items would be gone forever, what would you be OK with never being able to purchase again?" So here is my answer, and mine is grocery only for this purpose of the question.1. Hostess treats - twinkies, ding dongs, ho-ho's, and all of the other varieties. I never buy them, never will.
2. Bagged Pop Corn (sold already popped like chips). If you can't pop popcorn, there is something wrong with you!
3. Already cut up celery and carrot sticks in water. OMG, nasty! waste of a plastic container, and they look nasty and taste nasty!
4. Half of the varieties of BBQ Sauce, Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, etc. What ever happened to being happy with PLAIN ketchup, mustard, mayo and BBQ sauces? When i was a kid... we had Ketchup, Mustard, Miracle Whip, Open Pit BBQ sauce, and A1 sauce. There were not 30 variations of BBQ sauces... if we wanted to spice something up, we used actual spices! Which in our house we normally we had salt and pepper. Today, i hate the condiment isle due to the choices. Give me 1 and toss the rest out!
5. Candy... what ever happened to M&M's and a couple of choices. There are 10 choices of Hershey Kisses currently on the store shelf! Seriously, consumers have too many choices!
I could go on, but those are my 5 FOOD items that i personally could go without.
